@andNickMullins congrats on great French Open tennis commentary. Incidentally, why doesn't anyone comment on the ludicrously loud unnecessary screams of some male and female players that continue over their opponents' shots. Surely this is gamesmanship and should be penalised?

[David Hamilton-Smith @DHamiltonSmith]

@Wimbledon Serena is a great champion but Harmony hardly got a mention despite how well she was playing. Everything was about how brilliant Serena is!

[David Hamilton-Smith @DHamiltonSmith]

@Wimbledon Well done Harmony. The commentators should be ashamed of their one-sided bias throughout the match towards Serena Williams. Delighted you won.

@RugbyTonight Doesn't it bother anyone that when "not straight" is given at a line-out, it is normally followed by a scrum where the number 9 can feed his own 2nd row with impunity? Why are line-outs policed more diligently than scrums?

[David Hamilton-Smith @DHamiltonSmith]

LOL. Why did you excuse Owen Farrell's tackle yesterday by suggesting the referee wouldn't want to send off the England Captain on his return to playing? That should have nothing to do with yet another example of Farrell's bad tackle technique. #RugbyTonight

[David Hamilton-Smith @DHamiltonSmith]

@RugbyTonight Why on earth can't referees call "time off" when a scrum collapses, or when they want to lecture the front rows? They do for injuries and substitutions. The amount of possible playing time used up when scrums have to reset is simply ludicrous.

[David Hamilton-Smith @DHamiltonSmith]

@jezwyke Sends entirely the wrong message. Actually I don't blame her. I doubt she knew. The adults around her should be ashamed and should not be encouraged by getting away with this contravention of the rules.

[David Hamilton-Smith @DHamiltonSmith]

Everyone would like a "clean" games, but what chance when a) it has taken 44 days to find a positive result for the 15 yr old Russian skater (WHY?) . . . and b) they allow her to skate anyway! No medal ceremony is NOT an appropriate sanction. #bbcolympics

#C4Rugby I fully appreciate Noli Waterman's rugby credentials but I'm sorry to say I find her commentary voice very shrill and distracting.

[David Hamilton-Smith @DHamiltonSmith]

#ITVFootball Please, please, please tell commentators to stop saying "he WON a penalty".

[David Hamilton-Smith @DHamiltonSmith]

#RolandGarros When are the tennis officials going to insist on faster play between points? Nadal and Djokovic bored me to death with the time they take doing their ludicrous and unnecessary ball bouncing!!!

[David Hamilton-Smith @DHamiltonSmith]

#bbcathletics This trial format of the top 3 after 5 rounds get a 6th round is fine, but their previous rounds should still stand. Ludicrous to cancel 5 previous efforts.

[David Hamilton-Smith @DHamiltonSmith]

@BryanHabana Be ashamed of your countrymen. Kick, kick, kick. Yawn! Boring rubbish and a total turnoff for both knowledgeable rugby fans and especially newcomers to rugby - a game that you graced so beautifully by running with the ball!!!!

[David Hamilton-Smith @DHamiltonSmith]

@Springboks What a stultifyingly boring, unimaginative game the Springboks play. Maybe a change of animal - how about sloths? You will have turned off anyone watching rugby for the first time. A yawning uninvolved audience watched a semi-final you should be deeply ashamed of.

[David Hamilton-Smith @DHamiltonSmith]

@SkySportsRugby Totally agree Sir Ian. Joe Launchbury & co must be gutted that being Welsh & nearby (Rob Brydon on a cruise?) is Gatland's main criteria

[David Hamilton-Smith @DHamiltonSmith]

Rob Brydon might be on a cruise near NZ. Fancy a game Rob? Gatland's new selections are a joke & an insult to more deserving players

[David Hamilton-Smith @DHamiltonSmith]

@BenKay5 Surely unless we have an offside line at the tackle the Italian tactic will ruin the open running rugby we all want.

[David Hamilton-Smith @DHamiltonSmith]

@ITVRugby Great Italian tactic but surely we have to change that offside law or risk disrupting the running rugby we all want to see?

[David Hamilton-Smith @DHamiltonSmith]
