Peter Drury replaces Martin Tyler on Sky Sports

[Citizen of Legoland]

He really ought to retire. No passion anymore he doesn't even seem a football fan these days just sees it as a nice little retirement earner.

I miss Andy Gray, say what you want about the man but he was passionate about football commentary, he still had years left.

Cancelling my Sky contract when it ends.

Going for a combination of Freeview + Netflix + Now TV unless Sky can make it worthwhile.

Just tell them how much you can afford. They can discount the TV element of any package by as much as they want - I only pay 50%, I've heard of people who pay less. When the contract comes to an end, I ring to say I can't afford the standard price and they always let me renew at the discounted rate.

Sky cannot discount phone and broadband because they're just reselling, so I have similar deals with my phone and broadband providers who sell their own.

My sky broadband is free and I have a 75% discount on my phoneline. Sky can discount whatever part of the package they want.

Well, technically they can IF you're buying a bundle. I doubt you'll get those discounts if you cancel the TV element of your package. What they're actually doing is taking the profit they make from your TV subscription and applying some or all of it against the phone and broadband.

Sky don't own any residential telephony or broadband infrastructure. There's an agreed (official ombudsman body) rate for line rental that Sky pay BT of say £9.50, which they resell at say £15. They wouldn't last long as a business if they sold it to everyone at £5 without recouping it somewhere else.

It's all smoke and mirrors.


And MTISAC.

Its bn this way since our wonderful owner took over the only thing sky love about city is the transfer windows so they can slag us off over how much money we have spent bla fuckin bla . When it was us n spurs goin for the fourth spot it was all for spurs n they loved it when we missed out it was the same second time around great arry n spurs and they hated it when we got forth with the crouch own goal . Then it went onto the rags when we were both fightin for the title both seasons and its bn the same this season earlier in the season it was all arsenal then its bn the liverpool n chelsea show they hate us it will never change just laugh at them n think how much its gettin to them all behind the camera they are all spittin feathers i love it

I'd love for some blue to go in commentators box and nick his mic and throw it into the stands or shove it down his grovelling red throat.... failing that lock him in the outside broadcast vehicle before he gets into the ground... I can dream, the biased txxt

 

[bluemoon32]

Can someone explain why the media in general are very negative about us as a club but don't seem to have the same bitterness towards Chelsea for instance?
Chelsea were the original splash cash club in the 'Sky era' and although they received a little negative press , they have never had the spite and bitterness we've had directed at us.
I know i should just laugh it off but it bothers me no end.

 

[Sheikh Rattle n Roll]

They should have a crowd and whistle option,where the crowd and chants can be heard also the refs whistle..fuck commentators and co commentators..

Why,do you suppose, there isn't one?

Pretty sure that there used to be that option

There certainly used to be, no idea why the option cant be brought back, although it was clear from the Everton match that the pitch side mics were either turned down or non-existent near the City fans.

I have never really been one to slag Tyler off, but after the Liverpool and Everton commentaries, I have to say I have never heard him so disinterested in goals being scored by City.

Ohaye, yeah!

There did used to be that option. Red button used to let you choose different camera views (I watched a Bolton v Arsenel game from behind the goal once) and you could turn the commentary off.

Is that still going that? I seem to have completely forgotten it existed!

should have an option of being in a pub watching it so the armchair rags feel some camaraderie with the pub going rats

 

[Bill]

even the rags are saying he's gutted every time we scored. they picked up on it in their matchday thread on the goodison game. check the caf.

i don't think its just city, its a style thing - he's trying to model himself on some u.s. sports commentators who use gravitas over excitement - it's deliberate

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

The bias in his voice is unbelievable. He sounds so gutted and monotone wephen we score and when liverpool score he's all excited and going crazy. Nearly all the pundits and commentators are ex liverpool players. And the things he was saying the other day urging everton fans to sing more to help beat us. He's a cnt

I urge everyone to get rid of sky sports

Not a chance. Just look back to the swamp derby. When City scored, even Dzeko in the first minute, it was as if he was reading a funeral oration. Then milliseconds before A&E weakly lobbed a chance into Hart's arms he screamed "FELLAINIIIII!" I've lost count of the times he's screamed "ROOONEEEE!" every time the granny shagger gets the anywhere near goal.
