Hellfire Corner Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Well, who turned in to sky sports tonight to watch the Aston Villa show? Who were they playing? Totally one sided programme- all Villa discussion, pathetic for balanced coverage.
cummins17 Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Steve Bruce can't help banging on about Diedhiou being offside for our goal, seems to forgot the huge slice of luck they had for theirs

Robbored Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Just started a thread on the same subject. Shocking coverage ......

Is this what sky is always like with the 'bigger sides'? I never watch so don't know.
Hellfire Corner Posted August 25, 2017 Author Posted August 25, 2017 Best bit of Sky's analysis was they just had a Thatchers Cider advert!!

KRPH Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Did they bother covering their supporters trampling their own disabled supporters trying to get on the pitch after they scored?

nickolas Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Plus Brucey gets a pitch side big interview while LJ is stuffed in the tunnel. Biased bollocks.
stevep38 Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Royally pissed at that. Jeezo city dont even exsist in there eyes. Bloody joke
joe jordans teeth Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 How do we not know Johnson turned sky down because he would rather do interviews with radio Bristol and the evening post
joe jordans teeth Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Tbf I think he learned his lesson from last season when we started off well and he was all over the press like a rash,when it went tits up he was nowhere to be seen. Keeping his powder dry I guess
Hellfire Corner Posted August 25, 2017 Author Posted August 25, 2017 To be fair, the last few minutes has been better, but they have suddenly switched back to Villa. Here we go again.
DaveF Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Why is everyone so surprised and bitchy about it? Much bigger team comes to play us live on Sky with John Terry at centre back and the coverage is biased towards that team?! Who would have thought it...
Cornacix the Druid Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Because we are the home team. Possibly underdogs. I can understand Villa being the big club but sorry that was over the top bias that I don't think was deserved.

Maybe it's because a broadcaster should be producing a fair and balanced programme. Tonight clearly was not balanced.
BanburyRed Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Can't say i'm too bothered or fussed, just shows how out of touch they are, tbh. Think how miffed Villa are, going back to shitty old Birmingham with only a point from a big deflection against little old wurzel singing, carrot crunching 'Bristol'....
Between heaven and hell Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 It strank of a save your job interview to me.
NYTRAM Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Well I just turned into Talk sport on our way home and the 2 blokes on there were embarrassing. Totally Villa gush in and one of them was insisting City and Rovers should amalgamated. On a side note is there a problem with Radio Bristol on DAB?

Meh Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 FFS - how can anybody give an F about something so trivial - poor little us - Jesu !!
AppyDAZE Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Who cares really. Anyone remember Sky's "Brighton & Hove Albion win the title" Show tail end of last season? Loved that show, especially good

He's been banging that drum for the best part of 20 years or so - for us, the Sheffield teams, the Nottingham teams and there's probably others that I've forgotten.

If true that is ridiculous, particularly about the Sheffield teams who are arguably both in the top twenty 'biggest' clubs in England.
cidered abroad Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 As a City fan, who has never watched or contributed to Sky, who was at the game, who would prefer to listen to radio if I can't get to a game, give a toss about Sky's coverage. I'd prefer to listen free and donate to a children's charity than fill Murdoch's pockets.
BobBobSuperBob Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 Agree with all the comments about the balance of the coverage but hardly a surprise is it In fairness watching back , the commentator particularly and Scott Minto said some very positive and regular things about the ground / SLs ambitions and PL ambitions , a work nicelynprogressing , Club on the up etc etc and I though did a good job of 'selling us' to any potential players etc

Remember it is Mike Parry's job to be ridiculous. Always to be taken with a huge pinch of salt. The guy is good fun, and Talksport gets a bit of an unfair bashing if you ask me. Hate all the ads, but it is a good football station. pisses all over Radio 5 live, which I hate with all its PC nonsense every day.
Guest St Aldhelms Red Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 Well ive just watched it back and i thought the coverage was pretty balanced. They kept going on about what a special place Ashton Gate is, what a forward thinking club we are, how Villa changed there formation because they couldnt cope with us, really complimentary about our players (especially Patterson), etc. etc. Think some people just want something to moan about!!

Not really..i'm not saying they didn't mention us of course they did. just that I could not make the match and all they went on about was Villa and it was not on a even par and was getting annoying...It was the same last year with Newcastle.they were involved with other 20 matches last season and I was getting pissed off with it...I just want it unbiased and fair

Totally one sided programme- all Villa discussion, pathetic for balanced coverage. John Terry, ex Premiership club who spent a VERY long time there, managed by Steve Bruce who is a very solid manager against... a team who once lost a play off final for the Prem, has a very unknown, young manager and no stand out players.... what did you expect? I'm not saying we're in Villas shadow but to the non-Villa and Bristol City fans that match was always going to be about Villa.

However (and I've not seen any replays) it looked like we should have had 2/3 pens. Foul on Reid and a couple handballs?
slartibartfast Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 They were obviously gutted AV didn't win....how dare we !
