Rival Fans Commentating on City Games

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Why should we have to mute a game , that is the point

You don’t.

 

[Lord Blue]

The only answer is to go to every game possible.
Watching us on UK TV is awful since we became dominant.

to be fair it was pretty awful when we were rubbish too. but for different reasons

The most unprofessional thing I witnessed didn't even involve us . it was when united beat Arsenal last season early in the season and Gary Neville was on co-commentary and he was literally screaming and cheering down the microphone when they've scored.

I understand he is a united fan and people get caught up in it but you're being paid to do a job and you should do a professionally

They're a disgrace

it says he’s an impartial Salford City fan on his Sky CV

 

[BlindEyeSeesAll]

Why should we have to mute a game , that is the point

Because unfortunately the commentary is so poor and pointless. it's unbearable and off-putting - regardless of who's doing it imo

If you could just have the stadium noise I would unmute, but until then...

I always watch Premier League on a foreign channel. I cannot stand Tyler's ".....and it's lllaaayyyyvvvvveeee!!!" twaddle nor any of the pundits or commentators.

If it wasn't for the 1992 league pyramid re-branding and all the money it caused, Sky Sports would have died before then.

There is no doubt that Sky's whole existence is predicated on having the domestic PL TV rights. If they ever were to lose those rights they'd cease to exist very quickly. Their business model is so far out of date it's untrue, but strings get pulled to keep them in the game. Take for example their representation on the PL board - they have no business being there but they've wormed their way in to ensure the UK-based viewer will continue to pay £100-per-month for a minority of games that don't include a Saturday afternoon. The only way around it is to break the law.

Should just be the commentator and that’s it. Just tell the viewers what’s happening on the pitch I don’t need to also listen to *an expert* especially one with the most horrendous voice known to mankind.

I actually don’t understand why scousers aren’t banned from speaking on live tv? Cancer to the ears

 

[Prophet of Doom]

Carra and Neville are perfect for Sky. They tick every box they want from their two main pundits:

1) Represent the two best supported teams
2 ) Huge social media presence
3 ) Both have multiple other media outlets - podcasts / newspaper columns
4 ) Both play up to LFC/MUFC bantz
5 ) Both hate City

It’s a sad state of affairs. You only have to look at Skysports other content - full of YouTubers and podcast idiots. It’s the way all media is going.

Talksport employing clowns like Goldbridge and Jennings -Check out Reach announcing last they are binning 400 journos to be replaced by ‘freelancers with big social media followings’.

It’s staggering that after being at the top for 10 years we still don’t have anybody in the pundit world representing us.

Love to have an option of match sound only. I don't need 90 minutes of bollocks and snide comments. Thankfully when the the crowd is noisy and i'm in sports mode they disappear into the back ground, so just about bearable.

 

[its a Barm]

I am 100%sure sky with all there technologies could have a no commentary option just stadium atmosphere.

Every country has its own black-out time, but our one is so ridiculous it's unreal and has made people in this country rather listen to people describe the goals as they go in, then stay up until 10:30 to watch Match of the Day.

If that was the rule in say Spain, there would be an uproar amongst football supporters that their live evening football while everyone else is playing at the same time, has been taken away from them. I think over there broadcast blackouts only apply to the local region the match is being played, not nationwide like over here.

Bob Lord is a right twat for inventing it, it goes right back to the 60s and so outdated just like Sky's business model. I have an app that accesses foreign TV channels via the internet, and can easily avoid Sky while watching a 3pm game.
