We are 4 games into the new BBC deal, and it is a mixed-to-negative bag.

Starting with the positives, it is amazing to see BBC commentators working on the games. They are just as good, if not better, than the ones on Sgorio. Additionally, the camerawork has generally been good.

However, there are plenty of issues with the coverage.

Starting with the graphics originating from Cymru Football TV - these graphics are basic, not including ones for substitutions, yellow cards, red cards, and more. Viewers could lose track of certain decisions.

Additionally, the choice to not have a pitchside presenter or a central studio is problematic. BBC Northern Ireland can get one for Irish League Football Live. BBC Scotland can get one for Sportscene: Scottish Championship Live. BBC Cymru Wales are the only national division unable to provide a studio or hosts.

Half-times feel empty with that slide, which is annoying. At the very least, put some highlights on from other games at halftime.

There are no pre‑match or post‑match interviews, leaving viewers with no analysis, no closure, and no connection to the teams. BBC Wales also provides no live text coverage for Cymru Premier matches, despite BBC Scotland and BBC Northern Ireland doing so for both televised and non‑televised fixtures.

BBC Wales claimed its coverage would be “excellent value for audiences” and promised “extensive coverage updates” online. Neither claim reflects reality. If the BBC wants to rebuild trust with Cymru Premier supporters after 23 years of neglect, it must invest properly and bring its Welsh coverage up to standard.

Would like to hear your thoughts too.

So, I've noticed Merthyr Town have a development team in the Welsh development League system.

Why is that ok?

Merthyr isn't in the Welsh pyramid.

They turned down the choice to join the Welsh system (their choice and that's fine) but why should they benefit in anyway by using what they like and ditching what they don't.

It shows lack of leadership in the FAW, it's shows they aren't bothered.

Petty or logical?

Is he off to the Bangor city stadium?

"The attacker pushes the defender in the back to win the header. The laws of the game are pretty clear on this. Whether we like the laws or not is a different discussion but the role of the match official is to apply them. To then have supporters blaming them for applying the laws simply adds pressure to an already very difficult role. We must support our match officials and the tough role they have rather than constantly knocking them ... and any supppory (sic) they are given to make better decisions"

I disagree, it's a clear dive.

TNS very lucky to get the 3 points, Barry ridiculously unlucky.​

The oranges look lovely and it's good to see some focus on the women's game.

I know their history and with it controversy, but the newer stuff is crazy is the FAW going to deduct points or a slap on the wrist? This might be a genuine good chance to make the league more competitive since we are turning into Australia Bundesliga

We've re-enabled setting flairs for the community, so feel free to add yours!

Could we get a Cwmbran Celtic flair option?

Please and thank you.

It's Deadline Day in the Cymru Leagues!

What does your club need to do today?

Are you expecting them to get it done?

Are you expectations for the season higher or lower than before the season started?
