Peter Drury replaces Martin Tyler on Sky Sports

[lefty goldblatt]

We used to have people like Barry Davies, John Motson (before his senility), even Brian Moore, but now we have that bloody awful Jonathan Pearce with his screaming, adrenaline-laden, soprano voice because some team has made a substitution (“Oh my god! I’ve never seen anything like it in my life...a substitute is coming on the pitch...absolutely extraordinary!).

Like that fella who did that commentary for Palace v Spurs.
Makes a five yard square pass seem like Jesus Christ has just popped round for tea and scones

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

He's a fucking slug.

 

[simmo]

He was more annoying than usual yesterday :

On United - FERNANDES good effort on target
- Close by Maguire (not even on target)
- Fernandes is player of month for third time
- Good response by United , Ole has beat Pep 3 times etc etc

On city - to many negatives to mention
- Sluggish , passing slow , this is not a Pep way of playing , not scoring enough goals , Foden not on , Foden not starting, missing David Silva, tactical foul by Fernandinho.

No impartiality at all. It’s like a Bingo card how many negatives can I get into the commentary.

He doesn’t have several aliases for on here and posts in the match thread does he...? ;)

 

[Out on blue 6]

I was told today when Kev was waiting to take a free kick he said De Gea, De Brune, De rby...if that's true he's not even a shit Partridge anymore.

Twat that was liquid football

 

[lefty goldblatt]

Muted the twat (and Ratboy) after 40 minutes.
Sick of their anti City rhetoric.
My blood pressure was thankful

And then there is Tyler. A man who wouldn’t know the meaning of impartiality if it burrowed its way into what’s left of his brain, set up home there, and invited all its friends and family around for a barbecue. His obsequious grovelling to all things rag is truly nauseating: has been for the best part of thirty years, too. He makes no attempt to hide his fawning sycophancy when commentating on them, and even when he’s watching a game that doesn’t involve the rags he shoehorns them in somehow or other. I’ll bet at dinner parties the other guests get sick and tired of him going on about them (“Tyler, you biased fucker! Mention them once more and I will set light to that mess you call a face.”) The prick is going to end his days in a straight jacket, in a padded cell, dribbling, and muttering under his rancid breath the names of every ex-rag who has played a prominent role in his bukkake fantasies.

Thing is the commentators back in the day let the football do the talking and would only talk when they absolutely needed to. Barry Davies was brilliant at that.

Now there's an incessant need to constantly talk constantly for 90 minutes and just bombard you with drivel and useless facts

i simply revel in the hurt we must have caused him over the years .

 

[discopop]

The Big match replayed on a Saturday morning shows of how it used to be and how should still be but waffle leads the way nowadays the anti city agenda set by those two yesterday was nothing short of a disgrace the whole reason Sky took away the option of no commentary was to get their rhetoric across.

 

[Burnage Burnsy]

Cant believe how much his ‘and its live’ self imposed catch phrase gets under my skin. I have to mute every game until it kicks off. Dick

Sadly not enough to force the senile twat into retirement.

But somebody has to keep the rag lemmings interested.

did Tyler mean Fernandes was player of the month for utd or the premiership ?

It was pl player of the month. 3rd tie in 6 months. For all the Mahrez fans, Riyad has scored more & assisted more last month than Bruno. Just saying

 

[Coljj]

I'd settle for him calling as few of our games as possible until he retires that doesn't involve a common rival. He certainly shouldn't work any games where we have a chance to win or lift a trophy.

 

[Northernstorirs]

Let's hope dementia kicks in with the old fool. The nonce needs to retire.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

His time must be up now, he’s 75 year old and turning into a mumbling mess, he’s going the same way motson did. There was 5 mins yesterday when it sounded like I was listening to someone visisting their dad in a nursing home. As he’s got older he obviously doesn’t give a fuck about being impartial either especially all things related to the Rags. Can’t believe he provided the soundtrack to our greatest moment. I’m now convinced he actually said “Balotelli....agerrrr NOOOOOOOOOO”

Tyler is truly terrible. He doesn't actually pay any attention to the match. He just blurts out anecdotes from his pre-prepared script. He and Neville did not read the game at all. He didn't know what formation City were playing or what was actually happening on the field. They spent about three minutes rambling on about previous Liverpool v Man United matches and the scoring record of Ian Rush v United. A total embarrassment, even by SKY's miserable standards.

The man is an embarrassment to broadcasting. Fellow FOC's will recall Gerry Loftus in the early days of Granada TV. He was unbelievably pro-Rags, but Tyler beats him into a cocked hat.

I quite liked Gerald Sinstadt.

He had a sheepskin coat to rival Motty !
I remember him presenting the ITV North West Sunday afternoon footy highlights show just after we were all kicked out of the pub at 2pm in those days. Along with MOTD that was our weekly fix of televised football. How times have changed.

Bit of Saint and Greavsy, there was even one with Best and Marsh wasn't there?
