I had the misfortune of listening to the Ireland-England semi-final on Radio 5, with largely the same feeling; two English commentators making no effort at all to be unbiased.

That's their issue. BBC probably can't understand why people in the UK don't support their own. I'd be on their side on that.
Supporting fecking Canada rather than England. FFS I never heard the likes of it.
