Peter Drury replaces Martin Tyler on Sky Sports

[Citizen of Legoland]

Thought I'd share my little message to SKY. u2us@skysports.com if anyone wants to join in:

Good morning SKY

Is there any chance Tyler can be banned from commentating on City games? Last night it at least appeared that someone has banned him from mentioning his beloved United 30 times every City match.

But he seems to have compensated for this with an almost constant drip of negative comments about City, especially how 'poor' our defence allegedly is. Niall Quinn - never a big City plugger despite his history - finds himself constantly having to counter this insane bias and must get as frustrated as the normal City fan. Tyler sees a match which everyone else seems to see as a good sound thrashing as an exhibition of City's problems.

If you Editors are in any doubt, just compare his screaming jubilation when covering a United goal with his resigned matter-of-factness when City score.

It's high time he was put out to grass or, at the very least, left to only commentate on his beloved team United, as he has lost any ability to be impartial he may or may not have had.

Yours sincerely

John@StAustell

They've changed the email, mate. It's now u2us2thebin@skysports.com!

Not sure if mentioned but i hope it has. Their keeper was the first player to touch the ball for them when he picked it out the net after 3 minutes. As i said i hope it was mentioned as if it was the scum he would have creamed his pants

Martin Tyler is an ok commentator but it really does get on my nerves when he commentates our goals. He doesnt even raise his voice!

We usually get something along the lines of:
"Aguero..... scores. Great goal by the Argentine"

compared to the usual united hysterics:
"ROOOOOOOOONEEEEEEYYYYYYYY OH MY WOOOORRRRD AMAAAAAAZING"

This really does annoy me a tad. Its almost like listening to someone commentating for united on fanzone!

You must havent been listening closely he constantly slated our defence even when we were 4 -1 up he was chirping on about our inept defending and concentration no problems up front but a better team today today would murder them.i go back to the bayern game when they were murdered.

To be fair our defence has been reasonably inconsistent relative to our attack this season, don't you think?

He's obviously bitter about something. Not sure what.

this is what its like when you`re team means nothing at all ;)

Well having been at the game last night I've only just watched the recording through again on Sky. Having read most of this thread I was expecting some kind of assassination but heard nothing of the sort.

Both Tyler and Quinn were more than fulsome in their praise of Aguero, Silva and Negredo using words like world class, brilliant, unplayable etc

They may well have discussed our defensive frailties but hand on heart who can say conceding 3 at Villa, Cardiff, home to Bayern and 2 vs CSKA, Chelsea can continue.

We know it needs sorting so it's bound to get comment. As for Tyler not screaming every time we scored it's all relative. Remember QPR at home when Aguero scored, was that loud enough?

Remember they're not City fans and so won't comment and talk as such. Talk about paranoid.

It was nothing special, plenty of other commentators did a better job.

Thought he was ok last night nothing more. The one that sticks in the memory from recently is the West Ham game where he sounded absolutely gutted when we scored and almost sounded apologetic that we were winning.

It's funny then that most ringtones still have that commentary on them, almost iconic.

Just don't see that there is any real bias. As I said they're not City fans so won't always scream in excitement every team we score like we will.
They commentate on dozens of teams every week.
Personally I think Tyler is the best commentator out there (name any better?) and does a decent job.
Now Alan Green on the other hand......

Correct.

They already have subscriber reduction problems.

Imagine the uproar if people like Tyler start being even handed or even complimentary about Manchester City?

From Bromley to Bristol, from Nuneaton to Norwich, the heart of Sky's subscriber base - ie those plastic tossers from up and down the country - will be cancelling their subscriptions and cutting up their viewing cards. Is Tyler really going to risk the wrath of Murdoch just to keep MCFC fans placated?
