steveybadger Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 He really didn’t like Bentley did he? Ok DB dropped 1 cross but redeemed himself with a save straight after, and to my mind was fairly solid apart from that. The goal I think was much more the scorer having all the time he wanted to pick his spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 I mentioned it in the match thread, it was genuinely odd. By the end he was inventing stuff to criticise him for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit about Bentley punching, was the first time he’d punched in the game. LJ didn’t tackle Norgaard. Only mentioned Canos’s shove on Hunt after the ref gave both a yellow. I wonder if someone sat alongside kept nudging him and saying you’ve got that wrong again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He very rarely described what was going on on the pitch and when he did he was way behind the actual play. When a player had ball he would just say their names instead of describing what they were doing. Also he didn't mention the item that was thrown at Bentley.

eardun Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Yes I said same in match thread. Strange. If you just listened to him without watching the game, you’d think Bentley would be dropped for the next match for a string of blunders. If he was commentating on that next match, he wouldn’t realise Bentley wasn’t playing for the first 5 minutes (same as for our subs tonight!)

elhombrecito Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Thought exactly the same. Just after he dropped the ball (the only mistake he actually made), he made a comment along the lines of "he keeps making good saves, but has gifted them most of the chances himself" which was absolute rubbish. It also took him around 10 minutes to realise that we'd made a double substitution at half time - he even referred to Semenyo a few times when he wasn't even on the pitch!

Rudolf Hucker Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 In the second half, Bentley dived to his left to make a good save, pushing the ball out for a corner. The commentator suggested that his save was "one for the camera which he probably could have caught". I was so annoyed. It was as though the Sky producer had, before the match, wandered into a group of Brentford fans, given one of them a microphone and a programme and told him to do his best.

Negan Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Was only a small thing but another one I found strange was Brentford had a cross which deflected and then headed to our goal, which Bentley tipped over, he said "Bentley misjudged the ball and just gets to it" only for the co commentator to say it had deflected and Bentley does very well to adjust himself and make the save. How was he possibly meant to know the ball would be deflected when coming for the cross.. All seemed very very odd.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter1450 Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Sky’s coverage seems to be one of extremes in that you watch the premier league you get too many replays of every incident on the pitch that takes away from time in the actual match in play to the red button coverage that looked like it was filmed by a 10 year old on his phone ,as for the commentary there’s nothing more I can add to the above posts!

OnCider Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Was it just me or was the red button coverage about 2 minutes behind? I got the equaliser notification through BBC 2 minutes before I saw it on TV. Kind of took the enjoyment out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're only allowed one camera on the red button, no replays etc. Part of the trade-off with the clubs for being able to show the red button games at all. The idea is that if you want more than a basic feed, you pay the club a tenner to watch it online. Last night's camera angle was particularly limited though, because it was at a lower height than normal. Very difficult to see what was happening on the far side of the pitch.

For the last couple of minutes of the first half, the cameraman did seem to discover that his camera had a zoom function, as we could actually see what was happening on the far side of the pitch. Unfortunately, he forgot again in the second half... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may also have summarisers there too reporting back to Soccer Special. I wouldn't be surprised if they were holed up in Sky Towers round a TV.
