Treize Hombres Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I know she's had her critics but I for one will be sad to see her hang up the microphone. Angela comes across as very passionate about RL and has paved the way for future female analysts in our sport. By no stretch of the imagination is she the best reporter but she is far from the worst. Thanks and best wishes for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moove Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Absolutely terrible with a microphone in her hand with some painful cringe-worthy interviews but from reading that it sounds like she's doing a lot more work for the sport off camera which we don't hear about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh1 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I’ve always liked her. More knowledgable about the game and a lot more eloquent than some of her male colleagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipw Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Wow these post-match interviews are terrible. I hate to suggest it but is there a health reason for her standing down (I think this may have been mentioned before)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastLondonMike Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 The whole Sky presentation needs a complete refresh, though very much doubt we'll see that. The pitch side interviews with those awful grubby transparent sponsor boards, appalling and pointless interviews conducted by clueless interviewers have been painful viewing for years and years.

Odsal Outlaw Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 She is woeful with microphone in hand with zero personality, a good move, but she should be congratulated for doing such a long stint where she has no doubt put the effort in.

DoubleD Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I wish for Christ’s sake that the interviewers would stop asking the same generic boring questions to every player: What did that try mean to you? What does that win mean for you? Honestly, what response are they expecting? No wonder it’s deemed that we don’t have any personalities in the game. From watching the cricket World Cup interviews to this, it’s just frankly embarrassing and a complete waste of the interviewers, interviewees and viewers time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookey Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Fraser Dainton full time surely? I wish her well but honestly,she wasnt very good.Mind you neither are Barry and Terry but unfortunately they fail to do the honourable thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From watching the cricket World Cup interviews to this, it’s just frankly embarrassing and a complete waste of the interviewers, interviewees and viewers time Agree. Interviewers should be asking such questions as -what is the square root of minus one? - what was the long term impact of Napoleon III choosing Vichy as his summer resort? - does inflating your tyres with nitrogen instead of air improve fuel economy? Yes, I'm sure the could be better interviewers asking better questions, and better commentators giving better commentaries, but in reality, players answer questions on the pitch not at the micophone. Anyway, whatever, these interviewers and commentators are all rubbish, bring back Eddie Waring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Browny Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Yes, I think it is a bit of a tough gig to be honest. Interviewees in sport seem to get upset at any question these days, and after an 80-minute rugby match there is very little scope for a David Frost / Eddie Mair- type interview. Best of luck to Angela in whatever she does next. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

overtheborder Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 She's put in a lot of work over the years and been a valuable part of the Sky team - hope she's successful in whatever she turns to in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I’d like to see some former players take up interviewing the players pre and post match. It might mean they actually have a bit of a clue about what’s going on and hopefully improve the quality of the questions asked. Not Terry OConnor though, someone with a few more brain cells.
