Bellamy and the BBC
Posted: Sun Jan 24, 2010 12:45 amLove how they have to compare him to Baconface. A bit childish if true, but probably in character.

CRAIG Bellamy is at war with the BBC after being ridiculed on Match Of The Day.
And the £14million Manchester City striker is ready to follow Sir Alex Ferguson by refusing to speak to the network after games.
Fergie fell out with the BBC after a documentary accused his footie agent son Jason of profiting from his dad’s position.
Pundits Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Alan Hansen mocked Bellamy on last weekend’s MOTD when Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini took the ball from him in a sublime piece of skill.
They laughed and joked about wanting to repeat the clip and said they were delighted it happened against Bellamy, 30.
But the incident has led to at least one outraged viewer complaining to the Beeb about its stars’ “bias and lack of professionalism”.
A source said: “Craig thinks he is being victimised.
SDLqHe’s used to criticism but to find them laughing and joking at his expense has left him livid.
“It was said Craig once sent Shearer an abusive text when Newcastle were beaten in a game.”
A BBC spokesman told the Daily Star Sunday: “The reference was an off-the-cuff joke by Alan Hansen. Alan Shearer had picked out a fantastic piece of skill from Fellaini.
“Hansen joked it was only shown because Bellamy was on the receiving end, Shearer having had a well-publicised spat with Bellamy when they played together at Newcastle.”
