Bacon has gone on record saying that he has no time for team sports so its not that surprising he sounded as though he didn't give a toss but while I wouldn't personally complain about the issue surely our great sport deserves a little more respect than the shambles that went on today.

He should stick to the Columbian Marching Powder that he likes so much.
On listening to his show, it sounded like some had allready been taken

At the point where one of them said, 'There's only 3 balls left in the bag..,' I thought they would follow it up with, 'Oh dear, there are actually 4 left.' Complete farce. |

Its the Challenge Cup 5th round, nobody cares. Even rugby league fans aren't bothered about the Challenge Cup at this stage, the stadiums will be half empty, people don't get interested till the semis as they are focused on the league. Actually no they aren't they don't care about that either as they only care about the playoffs.
Stop getting worked up about this like its the Ashes or the Champions League.

Dear RFL if you want to achieve low, aim low. Next time invite a couple of well known RL fans (Rooney, Ferdinand, Wiggins, ANYONE) to do the draw and broadcast it over the web with selected highlights of the previous rounds.

| Quote Horatio Yed="Horatio Yed"Richard Bacon is what he is, he's always like that.
Is a cup draw boring... Well i didn't tune in and i knew about it and have a team in the draw.
In context it's people saying a number and then someone telling us who the number is followed by someone else saying a number etc etc.
It is boring, why should Richard Bacon research every single person he has to talk to, he doesn't follow the game, that's his prerogative.
Seriously people are taking the time to complain? FFS get a grip, we're playing Salford at home that's all that matters.
People don't have to like our game just because we do, i'm sure if i was doing a draw for British Basketball i wouldn't have had a clue about anyone or anything, no history and to be frank wouldn't give a monkeys.
I'd find it boring and if anyone complained about me i'd just look at the complaints and think 'get a f'kin life'
All the wrongs with the world, all the injustice and the only time you put pen to paper or fingers to a keyboard to complain is when someone bumbles through a cup draw and one person doesn't know the other.'"
But it still should be done professionally by a BBC station. |

And that good friends is the sound of a nail being hit squarely on the head. |

I am sure your complaint about people complaining took just as long, if not longer to write. |

If you had tuned in you'd understand why people are annoyed and, dare I say, perhaps a little embarrassed.
If it doesn't matter and nobody's interested then we should perform the draw behind closed doors and publish it on the RFL website. However, if you're going to broadcast it live "to the nation" on the BBC then it should be done properly. Not just Richard Bacon's fault, though he was incredibly condescending, because the RFL presumably arranged this. I love the sport but felt distinctly uncomfortable throughout those few minutes.
But then again, I've always found cup draws rather exciting and continue to place just as much prestige on the Cup Final as the Grand Final. |

I know the RFL caused the global banking crisis according to some on here, but how on earth can you blame them for that? They turn up with the trophy and a cup legend, explain the whole process to them, then do a practice run. What more can they do?
On a different note, Steve Mcnamara has just been on the Chris Evans show (9.5 million listeners) talking about the World Cup and the semis at Wembley, making sure he got the fact that tickets are just £20 in. Straight away people were texting in to ask if that was correct, so hopefully a few people will buy tickets as a result. But of course the RFL won't get any credit for organising that. |
