purpleronnie Posted 26 August 2020 Share Posted 26 August 2020 3 minutes ago, Big Dave said: So if Harry Maguire appeal has been successful and a re-trial will take place at a later date, does that not leave Maguire open to being found guilty again and actually getting a custodial sentence? His defence team must be pretty confident that he did nothing wrong. He isn't going to prison that's not how it works for people in his position....and I don't mean centre back.

SouthStandUpperTier Posted 26 August 2020 Share Posted 26 August 2020 Sky really don't really have much option but to freshen it up. You just can't have a whole panel consisting of gammon in this day and age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 26 August 2020 Share Posted 26 August 2020 The new panel will have all the necessary diversity of the front cover of a university prospectus. I turned up to university and was shocked to meet any heterosexual, able bodied, white men at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Horse's Mouth Posted 26 August 2020 Share Posted 26 August 2020 Is a shame I really enjoy the format and the banter they have together, I never got people getting so annoyed about their shit football views, it was more of a chat down the boozer kind of show than xG this and all that. I imagine itll be hip and woke now which is a shame 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I totally understand the plight of the underclasses and white dominance etc I can't help but think you wouldn't get away with making such flippant remarks about the colour of any other demographic's skin. Equality should apply to all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinkenzo Posted 26 August 2020 Share Posted 26 August 2020 The worst thing about Skys football coverage besides the top 6 bias is the transfer talk show and ref watch. How can you make a 30min(?) programme every day, sometimes more than once a day I think, where 95% is basically just speculating and making shit up, the other 5% is actually talking about done deals. And again, basically whats the latest on Arsenal? Whats the latest on Liverpool? Whats the latest on "United"? Whats the latest on "City"? Whats the latest on Spurs? Whats the latest on Chelsea? And heres a roundup on every PL club in 30 seconds!! Ref watch just needs to get in the bin, it does no good to anyone. oooh "is this a red card" (it blatantly is) Dermot Gallagher "well not really". Call me soft but if I was a PL referee i'd hate to have my work (which is incredibly difficult) to be scrutinised and criticised thanks to 100x slow motion takes on TV every pissing week.

Leicesterpool Posted 26 August 2020 Share Posted 26 August 2020 (edited) I swear of the years Sky have been getting worse in their choice of pundits, I mean Clinton Morrison for example? seriously. I don't know anybody who can use the word "like" as much as him in one sentence. Once again it feels like they only hiring people that ticks boxes rather if there good enough for the job. It's happening alot on tv nowhere days. Edited 26 August 2020 by Leicesterpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bear Posted 26 August 2020 Share Posted 26 August 2020 (edited) 4 hours ago, Fox92 said: I think Doherty just suits Wolves' system. A bit like the players at Sheffield United. I don't necessarily think he's a good full back. He isn't. He's a poor RB who gets caught out a lot defensively. He works well at RWB where he can concentrate on going forwards. I'm a little bit annoyed that he'll be going for less than £20m though. Only TAA has a better goal/assist output than him over the last two seasons, and he still has three years left on his contract. But then again he's nearing 30 and he's someone we've been looking to upgrade since we got back in the Prem. He absolutely won't be much good as a RB at Spurs, I guarantee you that.
