Five Live football commentator Alan Green must have rubbed a colleague or two up the wrong way. The Sun has been told he's refusing to help carry broadcasting equipment to matches, because he is physically unable. The Sun says this means extra effort must be hired to deliver the kit, at an estimated £200 a game.
In the 70s, match reporters would gather at Broadcasting House on Fridays, to collect their COOBEs (Commentator Operator Outside Broadcast Equipment) ahead of Saturday's fixtures. The equipment has all got smaller in size - full match commentaries can be achieved with laptops, lip-mikes and a small mixer desk.
One presumes Mr Green has full assistance with his baggage when travelling to Atlanta for his US commentary duties.
