Sky Sports Footy Coverage

[Section_31]

It's unwatchable now. I got that Now TV pass for the game but don't know how you lads put up with it regularly.

 

Wall to wall, and I mean wall to wall gambling ads. 

 

Shite commentary and "punditry" designed purely for turning into clips for clickbait articles (of course, it's non stop espn, echo and talks port facebook ads today going on about how Keane "called out' Virg and demanding I click on for my two minutes' rage.

 

It's all been said about Neville and Carragher, but it's pure WWF, punch and Judy shit. I wouldn't wipe my arse with any of their 'insights' on a match, or anything else.

 

Shame, sky Sports footy coverage used to be decent. A sign of the times I suppose.  Faux controversy and anger sells. 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I can't remember which match it was, but there was a turdfest a few weeks ago which they were hailing as one of the games of the season, because it was full of the stuff they love now: penalties, a red card and loads of VAR reviews.  That's all they want to talk about; who needs actual football?

[Kevin D]

The way Neville pronounces “out” winds me up.

[bossy]

Just got a new broadband deal and it involves half price sky sports which I’ve never had and yes, it’s truly terrible. None stop betting ads as you say and the punditry is almost laughable in its agenda setting and subsequent discussion as it relates to that agenda, not on what’s happened. It’s tiring.

[skend04]

Neville's insight yesterday amounted to "we're shit and you couldn't beat us tee hee". Fuck off with that shit. I genuinely loathe him and Carra as 'commentators'. The Prime stadium sound is the way to go, Sky need to get on to that ASAP.

[frankie]

Tyler was bad but Peter Drury's commentary is unbearable. 

[Redder Lurtz]

It's horrific. I don't watch buildups any more. It's all "next, it's Liverpool v Manchester United" except It's not next is it. It's about 3 sections of gambling adverts away, interspersed with 60 seconds of pointless cliché filled waffle and an aerial shot of Anfield.

 

Everything about it is awful. I used to stick with it post match until Klopp had  been interviewed but they know fans do that so they string viewers along with more gambling ads and roy cunt kean's hilarious insight until they show you an interview that was recorded 20 minutes previously. I switch over straight after the match nowadays and catch Klopp's interview on BBC sport's app later on. 

 

Even the intro music is horrendous. That godawful woman screaming "you'll never stop this thing I will never let you goooooo". Fuck off love. Something I've become very conscious of is when it returns to the studio after another set of gambling ads, the music intentionally stutters. Designed to make you look up from your phone / tablet and pay attention to their utter shite. 

 

I prefer TNT's coverage but only in the same way that I'd prefer a punch in the face to a sledgehammer in the balls. I hate them all.

I was roundly negged for saying something similar recently. At least it was relatively easy to zone out to Tyler's permadrone but Drury is like Tyldesley on a heady cocktail of crack and speed with a side of acid. He's utterly horrendous. He's a walking, screaming fucking hyperbole and I want to kick his fucking face in. 

 

I'm on medication to lower my blood pressure. 

[Harry Squatter]

I haven't watched any build up, half time or post match stuff for a while now. I normally watch on an Arab stream on twitter. All I wantbto see is the match, not a load of knobheads being controversial for the sake of it.

It was probably Spurs v Chelsea. 

 

"Former England defender Jamie Carragher called it "box office", while television commentator Peter Drury said it was "carnage and chaos".

After a weekend of more managerial ranting about video assistant referees (VAR), on-field referee Michael Oliver and his boss Howard Webb were probably hoping for a quiet London derby.

No chance…

In 45 minutes - with an extra 12 minutes added on - there were numerous VAR interventions in Tottenham's match with Chelsea, including four disallowed goals, three red-card checks and two penalty checks.

The second half had more goals, albeit with slightly less mayhem as Nicolas Jackson scored a hat-trick in Chelsea's 4-1 win"

[Bobby Hundreds]

I cancelled it last season they are all bellends.

 

Roy Keane is an arrogant cunt, what's liverpools 30 year title drought got to do with Virgil, he's only been here a few years, he's not a lifelong red he came here won the league and every other cup and he's recently had his side give United their biggest ever defeat, so shut your fucking bullshit because if Fergusons United were around the same time as this city side his CV would say runners up far far more than it would say champions. The blert.

[Bjornebye]

We fucked it off months ago when we got a dodgy stick (Hello Officer) and I'm glad we don't give the bastards a penny. The Premier League Years and the Golf coverage is great, ores than that they can fuck off except Emma Saunders and Harriet Prior who are both welcome to marry my face off

That's the one.  A hat-trick is just an afterthought that they give a grudging half-mention to.

The Premier League Years is barely watchable.  They spend as much time showing bits of their pre-match advertising as they do showing actual football.

I have the sound down. That's the only way, even though it wrecks the sense of atmosphere. Carra screeches into his mic as if he believes he has to be heard without recourse to amplification. Neville is so blatantly biased it's beyond tiresome. And my pet hate, the use of replays - do we REALLY need two or even three replays of run-of-the-mill headers way over the bar, or scuffed shots to the keeper? It's SO tiresome, and you have to endure them while wondering what the hell is going on with the action. I don't get why it's not more commonly criticised. As for Keane, his absurd delusion that he occupies the moral high ground, when he was kicked out of his club for lack of respect, and kicked out of his country for the same thing, and kicked out of several clubs for being a shite manager, is mind-blowing. He's laughable, and only idiots would be intimidated by his pantomime schtick.

The way he pronounces "Manchustur Yanaited" is even worse.

Don't forget sent packing from the Premier by a Luis Garcia tackle

[Lee909]

It's the same in most sports. Only golf,snooker,F1 and cricket seem to have decent coverage and maybe its more I dint watch them nearly as much especially golf

Yeah, as @Megadrive Man said, they deffo did that on spurs v Chelsea. I was sitting there thinking it was one of the worst matches I'd ever watched. And all they cared about was ramping the hype around all the shit nobody wants in the game. It was an absolute fuck fest of a game, but sky know where their bread is buttered and it's talking up utter shite into a spectacle. 

[Elite]

Carragher and Neville are a pair of massive twats and Richards is an imbecile. Then you have Keane with his hard man schtick, when he's anything but. It's a complete shit show.

The way he constantly says football club does my nut, it's a complete waste of syllables.

 

"Liverpool were kept at bay by Manchester United football club. This football club performed well today, the football club will be delighted, a good day for Manchester united association football club."

 

I honestly don't know what it's all about.

[aws]

He’s probably trying to make some pathetic point about them dropping “football club” from their title years ago.

I would have just paid extra £10/month for just the broadband without Sky.

[Pete]

Basically lad/banter TV these days with the actual football a distant second. 

[Trumo]

They live for controversy. They'll make a meal out of any remotely controversial incident, or try to create one where there isn't any, just so they have a talking point. Any pundit they have on who wants to talk about the actual football and discuss the tactical side of what's happening is reduced to cliched soundbites. Any pundit they have on who is an opinionated gobshite or clearly a mouth-breathing simpleton has their mic turned up to 11 and is given all the airtime they want.
