Trackdaybob Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 For the brief period I had it on yesterday, the commentary was awful. He couldn't have sounded less interested if he tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I just want to watch a game of fitba and have the game/two teams discussed without it turning into a version of the Jeremy Kyle show no matter who's playing.

It's a pretty minor part of the coverage though. Don't really get why you're so fixated on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondered whether they were 'caught out' insofar as they lost sound from the ground then had commentator-only sound - was Ian Crocker at the game or in a studio down south somewhere?

If that's the case then fair enough. Things go wrong from time to time. It was far from what I was expecting which would go a long way to suggest technical issues.

Flybhoy Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 Only a complete imbecile could argue that Sky's half arsed coverage is anywhere near the level of BT Sports.. cue Bennett !! I agree that the fake arguments/trolling by Chris Sutton is partly encouraged, planned even but, even if you cant stand the guy, which im sure covers a large % of viewers there is no doubt it is an enjoyable watch, the seethe he provokes from Craigen in particular is hilarious, also as pointed out earlier in this thread the build up/advertising/analysis is the same for Dundee v Hearts as it is for Aberdeen v Celtic etc. Bennett reminds me very much of Bungle from Rainbow, likeable and amusing but ultimately, thick as pigshit.

Compared to that weasel David Tanner he's outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim999 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 There are no words in the English language to describe how nauseating that man is ! And dont get me started on that p***k Neil McCann !!!! Andy Walker is the worst pundit for me easily, closely followed by Provan. No attempt by Walker at being even minded and Provan takes himself far too seriously.If a Scottish game is on Sky I will very rarely tune in before kick off but I will for a BT game. The BT guys seem genuinely very interested in the games, Sky dinna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Sheridan Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Here's an idea, cancel your Sky / BT subscriptions and go and watch a game at one of the thousands of games going on in parks all over Scotland at the weekends.No commentators, no pundits, no entry fee 99% of the time, you can't beat it.

TheScarf Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Nah the Sky commentator for Scottish games is a fucking dickhead. What's his name? Something Crocker? Sounds like he's cumming every time Celtic or Rangers get over the halfway line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snakebite Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Games scudded onto Sky Sports 5 with coverage starting about 5 minutes before kick off, with Neil the drone McCann on his tod rambling negative drivel in the studio. Then you are subjected to monkeys like Crocker and either Andy Walker or Davie Provan. With BT you have a wide array of pundits and commentators, more games, more time dedicated to Scottish Football, additional programming, and general a much more positive outlook on the game. Sky coverage is basically Radio Clyde with pictures, OF centric shite. BT wanted the League Cup, they wanted the play-offs. I don't think there is any comparison tbh. Sky's coverage is awful.
