davieG Posted 1 September 2009 Posted 1 September 2009 CHILL OUT!!!Think of the bigger picture... ....People in Beaumont leys dont even know where their next fix is coming from..... Yes - but they still have Sky
Karljohn Posted 1 September 2009 Posted 1 September 2009 Sky TV....dont have it, wont have it, they can stick their HD up their arse! nothing like being at a live game.... Especially like last night when we were so high up that I had to ring a mate to ask who scored their goal lol

A bit offside.

maddog Posted 1 September 2009 Posted 1 September 2009 Definitely thought the commentary was a joke, especially when saying how poor we were when not producing in the final third and how amazing Newcastles defence was. It was kind of like the commentary felt sorry for us because according to them Newcastle are the best side in the world and we're not. It was almost like they had pity for us for some reason.

Vacamion Posted 1 September 2009 Posted 1 September 2009 Yes the bias was a bit annoying. Yes it was worth mentioning. But think of ITV's "blurry lego men from a distance" coverage, with Pleat as co-commentator, or the BBC's experiment with a woman commentator and their former insistentence on ex-Liverpool pundits, or Channel 5's attempts at foisting John Barnes on us - all footy on telly has the potential to be shite. I for one was glad to see City on the telly, near the top of the Championship, playing not too badly, actually, and the biased commentary, annoying as it was, was a side issue.
Toby or not Toby Posted 1 September 2009 Posted 1 September 2009 the repeated bumming of Kyle Ranger did my tits in. This really started to annoy me!
CosbehFox Posted 1 September 2009 Posted 1 September 2009 the repeated bumming of Kyle Ranger did my tits in. Just showed a clear lack of research and knowledge. He's in the England U19's squad...he's hardly going to be poor is he? Can't use his left foot either and as a look of Wanchope about him. Yeah, right..... Gets up my back that does...esp. the advert where the bloke mentions about travelling all day and night...hmmm....I wonder why?
lcfc_jme Posted 1 September 2009 Posted 1 September 2009 Infact, horse shit is useful to some communities. Sky TV is about as useful as herpes.

SantiagoFox Posted 1 September 2009 Posted 1 September 2009 Yeah, right..... Anybody got the time to knock up a parody of this in Photoshop ? I'd suggest a picture of some lard-ass with his can of fizz, half-watching it, 'cos he couldn't give a sh*t, just like poxy old Sky.

I was thinking more along the line of 'Football. We know how you feel about what we're doing to it, now get ****ed' and then a picture or Murdoch laughing all the way to the bank
iancognito Posted 1 September 2009 Posted 1 September 2009 Dad told me Birtles is ex-Forest player, so it's really no surprise he gave us crap commentary. He was a pretty good player for Forest **grits teeth** but he loves being asked about his time at Man United too. Not so special, Garry, you beardy twat
Collymore Posted 1 September 2009 Posted 1 September 2009 I can't see why people get so wound up by the commentary. If you watch the game then you can make your own mind up so why does it matter what someone's saying? We're the experts in Leicester, not the commentators (who probably trawl the net before hand to get a clever stat for the 63rd min injury) so the fact that we know how far we've come over the last year is all that matters. Radio commentary is another animal though, which takes me back to the Barber days
DanTheFox07 Posted 1 September 2009 Posted 1 September 2009 We get similar in the papers, it really annoy`s me! said in the sun how on that performance well stay up ! I would have thought that most people Don`t think we are gonna be relegation candidates by now?

bigneville Posted 2 September 2009 Posted 2 September 2009 https://mysky.sky.com/portal/site/skycom/sk...000090b140a____Complaints contact Having seen so many people moan about commentary. Did anyone actually make a complaint? I went to Newcastle so didn't get to hear the commentary, but have often thought the commentary on games has been extremely biased when i've watched from a neutral point of view, especially Don Goodman.
Daggers Posted 2 September 2009 Posted 2 September 2009 I have Sky Sports & ESPN. I like it. I watched the match on TV and really struggle to reach the level of rage and anger being put into this thread. Yes, the coverage was skewed but that just made it funny. They get bigger crowds, they have more expensive players, they have turmoil in the boardroom, they have professionals out of the game with a vested interest in the club, they scored an outstanding goal and have a ground which makes ours look like the little identikit stadium it is. The city is more vibrant, the countryside more stimulating and the history of failure more alluring. It's not bias against Leicester, this slant on the match will be the same for all visiting teams this season apart from Middlesbrough. The coverage was a league above the shite offered up by ITV or the current Football League programme (the wonderful Mark Clemmit aside). Sorry, but as I say - I like Sky Sports.
Stevie1892 Posted 2 September 2009 Posted 2 September 2009 Sky have announced two more games today as well. Sheffield United v Newcastle Monday 2nd November Preston North End v Newcastle Monday 23rd November. Bit of a liberty on Newcastle fans really, Monday night away, with 3 hour drives, same with Leicester on Monday as well. However, I make that five of Newcastle's next seven away games being live on Sky or BBC, and they've already been on three times!
leicesterfox86 Posted 2 September 2009 Posted 2 September 2009 Dad told me Birtles is ex-Forest player, so it's really no surprise he gave us crap commentary. He is usless. Always has been. Regardless of who he supports. Newcastle our bound to get more attention so not sure we can be that suprised about it. Sky Sports are bad for focusing on some clubs more than others, it has to be said. And don't get me started on their coverage of Transfer Deadline Day!

I can speak now . Sky is great. ESPN is great. I really didnt have any gripes about the coverage the other night... the only thing I got angry with was how poorly we played in the second half, and surely thats the only fucking important thing as a city fan. Bring on Reading and QPR I say.
