Sky Commentary

[Antman]

more than a little biased to Stoke tonight.

banging on about how hard it would be for City, how Stoke are wonderful etc etc...GOAL!

 

 

HA!

[Gillies Downs Leeds]

Don Goodman is always pro Midlands clubs.

[Sweeneys Penalties]

Got bored of hearing how young Tyman is (he's 22 btw). Have they done any homework on the team in Red?

[steveybadger]

It’s the Sky way; talk up the better / bigger side.*

 

*unless it’s FLDC / WRDC

Keeping looking at the coloured dots on the studio display. If it's  visual braille there's a problem!

[erndogz]

It's so biased it's unreal. I think the penalty shout was a decent shout. Whereas fletcher offside was described as well its not really offside.

Yes they have - cos apparently they talked up our academy, and the fact we have three young academy graduates on the pitch, a few times ... they even mentioned the fact that Scott hasn’t passed his driving test yet ... no need to be biased if you are accusing the commentators of being just that ...

Fair enough. The benefits of watching the game with concentration all over the place whilst having Covid. My bottle of choice tonight is a bottle of Kombucha

[LondonBristolian]

I don't have an issue with the commentators but I do think it is a reality check as to where we now are. Neutrals expect top six teams to comfortably beat us. I'd like us to prove them wrong and get to a point where people expect us to win games but I'm not going to hold it against the commentators for being honest about where we currently stand.

To be fair, for 90% of the game they have been streets ahead of us 

As for the penalty shout….no way was that a pen 

[B1ackbird]

Good old Don, consistent at least...

[Lack of Action Man]

Agree, the commentary from both contributors has been truly awful and clearly biased to Stoke.

 

That being said, still better than Martin Tyler who doesn’t actually bother to commentate on the action anymore, he just offers inane drivel in the vague guise of commentary. 

[Coxy27]

Seemed desperate for us to get a red card for some reason.

COD's early tackle described as "a naughty one" despite being a standard challenge you see every game, and he actually pulled out of it.

Then wanted Scott sent off for again, just a fairly standard tackle.

[Midred]

I did wonder if Stoke time wasting would have been more acceptable!

[Super]

We get this same thread every time. Some just want to find something to moan about. Enjoy the win.

It would have been good game management if it were Stoke doing it.

[westonred]

Glen Murray in the studio banging on about Stoke should have had a defo penalty he doesn't notice that Massengo is having his hair pulled by the stoke player so if anything its a freekick to us

Biased as f

[BCFCinNW6]

Glen Murray is a total *******. 

Was like listening to a bloke talk about football to room full of 8 years olds.

90% is ott. First half maybe but no way were they the better side second half. As the commentators said as well we deserved the result after 99 mins

And Scott came out well on top imho.

Was at the game so didn’t have to listen to him, but his bias to that part of the world is at Gary Neville levels.

[AppyDAZE]

Sky's commentators and pundits pretty much all do my head in, but for me Andy Hinchcliffe takes the biscuit.

"As you can see, he's not offside" etc etc when half the time the ****** IS off.

Sky, BT and BBC TV coverage all gets on my tits. Radio commentaries are far better if you can't be there, including R. Bristol's since Owers and Honor have been co-commentators.

Luckily, I was there tonight as I am for all the home games.

Really enjoyed it, so **** Sky and their big boys club.

Glad someone else noticed that fair play to Han gave him it back .

What penalty shout? For us or for them?

Rubbish. Not biased at all. Can’t believe you’re having a go at MT, a true legend. Football commentary is not easy.

Football commentary (i.e. stating what is happening) is easy.

Passing an unbiased opinion is what many so called commentators find difficult!

90%?? did you watch all of the game? I thought we were easily the best side after the first 30 mins and were in complete control for most of the last 20 were we watching the same game?

Agree, if I had to score it, they won the first 30, we won the middle 35, then won the next 25, we win injury time.

First time in quite a while I never felt we sat back, a massive shift in the way we saw out the last 15 mins I genuinely feel tonight might just be a turning point the light is shining brightly at the end of that tunnel and I can't tell you how happy that makes me.
