Sky Sports
reviews and complaints

Jamie, is totally biased and has no valuable feedback to the games he commentates what so ever, only to bad mouth any rival club to Liverpool FC. I believe as a commentator he needs to be fair and apricate all teams, regardless of any past experiences/employment.

Jamie should be replaced and should be banned from being on sky

Please Please can you take him off? I turn it off or down when he's on. Everyone I speak to say the same. It could be Villa v City and all he talks about is Liverpool... enough now.

He really should not be on TV SPITTING at a child is a disgrace

You must be able to get another pundit or you don't care about your customers.

I will not do another season with him on as so many other people are saying

ENOUGH NOW.

You say to stop discrimination in sports but yet your sky sports news presenter is clearly sexist saying female drivers are better than men. How can you 'claim' to stop discrimination and have a presenter like that? Vicky Gomersall you should be ashamed.

Simply dumbfounded how David Croft is an F1 announcer, and even more dumbfounded he's lasted this long. I can only assume whoever hired him, doesn't watch F1...

I've watched just about every conceivable motorsport over the last 30 years (F1 for ~15 years), and listened to COUNTLESS announcers, and though there are always some that are better than others, and some you like more than others, in that 30 years, I can honestly say there were only TWO, that I thought were SO bad, I felt a need to complain.

The other was Rick DeBruhl, who covered F1 for 1 year in the States on Speed Channel after Bob Varsha left. He too, was SO bad, and had SO many complaints, Speed Channel did the right thing and let him go after one season.

I would take Rick DeBruhl in a heartbeat over David Croft... And that's saying something...

There are a dozen things I could complain about, but I'll just stick to the shouting. OMG, the SHOUTING! It never matches the onscreen action, and it's simply OBNOXIOUS! I mean, the guy sounds like he's going to have a stroke just giving the starting positions.

I got in the habit of muting the sound for the first 2-3 laps, because it takes that long for him to settle down for even the most routine starts (and re-starts). Then I tried hitting the mute button every time he opened his mouth, but it was just too tedious. Now, honestly, and this is no BS, I just mute the entire race & listen to music... That is no way to watch F1... I no longer watch practice, and mute Qualifying as well...

I think the rest of the Sky team is FANTASTIC! Every one of them! It's staggering how one man can drag an A+ broadcast down to an F, and I give it an F because he single-handedly makes it virtually unwatchable.

David Croft would probably make for a good News Anchor, or Auctioneer, or better yet, calling Horse Racing, but one thing is FOR SURE: he has ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS CALLING F1 RACES. NONE!

He is, BY FAR, the WORST announcer I've ever heard in 30 years of watching motorsport. He is the ONLY one I just, cannot, listen to, AT ALL...

Just about everyone I know in the States has stopped watching F1 because they just can't stand David Croft. Most just watch the highlights now...

I can only imagine how much more of an audience Sky/F1 would gain if they dumped David Croft. I mean, if die-hard F1 fans can't watch the broadcast, how many casual viewers watch more than a race or two?

Formula 1 is the pinnacle of motorsport, and Formula 1 deserves better than David Croft!

Please gag Karun Chandhok the big mouthed know it all commentary monopoliser on F1

Hes just ruining it as he just wont shut up and tries far to hard to be "The Man".

All the other guys are fine and give each other fair airtime and if there's a celebrity in the commentary room Chandhok just brown-noses the guy endlessly.

Please please help-or take this on board.

I’ve just checked the Everton score on the sky sports app and I was very disappointed to see a advertisement of Richardson holding a smoking flare. He shouldn’t of done it anyway as he is a role model, but as my 4 year old daughter has just seen this picture now she wants a smoking flare because you think it’s ok to show this picture on the main page on the app. Unacceptable!

This revolting spitting scousers should not be allowed near a microphone ever.

His endless bias towards the cheating scousers is a complete joke that the whole country can see. Sky sports is as bad and panders to these cult fans on a daily basis. Again complete joke. Listening to Carragher again yesterday was embarrassing. Shouting at Richarlason to get up when clearly injured. I refuse to pay for your service anymore, you're embarrassing

I would like to complain about Jamie Carragher commentating, watching Liverpool vs Everton (I was very keen to watch) ended up me not watching it as Jamie Carraghers commentating was absolutely horrible, he won’t say Everton players name or the word Everton for example “this game is very important for Liverpool and the blue shirts” they are quite a few clubs that wear blue so if you had just tuned on they might of thought he was talking about Brighton . Not just today it has been all the time. With him already having an incident is this going to be the last straw. As I can’t bare to listen to him. He always says that Liverpools football is outstanding but are they always outstanding no sometimes we have good days sometimes bad days. He never mentions anything about when Everton win Chelsea win etc.

To be honest after all this time he has been biased I think I might just turn the volume down but why should I?

Liverpool v Everton 24 April 2022 - why do you allow Jamie Carragher to ramble on and hog the commentary when he is only the side act? He talks utter tosh most of the time and loves the sound of his own voice. He takes over on every commentary he is involved with and spoils the game.

Can you please tell me why you have a ex red player who is bias for his red team commentating on a Darby game.It’s not enjoyable nor is it fair I am a neutral and I am disappointed with the comments the ex red player is coming out with.date 24/04/2022 time 16.30 Liverpool against Everton

At around 8-9minute 30 of the Chelsea West Ham game (24/4/22) the camera went to Reece James, one of the commentators mentioned the colour of Reece James’ hat and the other commentator said that he looked like a liquorice allsort. This is a racist comment and he needs to be pulled up for this #saynotoracism…..

Why are you still having breaking news Manchester United sign new manager it's 6 hrs ago unbelievable

Everytime I watch Liverpool play Man city or Man Utd commentary is so biast it is absolute embarrassing. I would go as far to say even Gary Neville remains professional and impartial

Martin Tyler is nothing more than a joke

I am really tired of Andrew Hinchcliff's supportive comments about professional fouls and simulations by cheating players.

He seems to think it is acceptable that players 'buy' or 'earn' penalties and free kicks.

A perfect example tonight was in the Newcastle v Wolves game when the Newcastle forward Chris Wood blatantly dived over the legs of the Wolves goalkeeper after kicking the ball over the goal line and having zero chance of scoring.

VAR did endorse the referee's decision but surely there ought to be a impartial and realistic comments from your presenters, rather than support cheating which lessons our national game.

I also find Andrew Hinchcliff very self opinionated and in love with the sound of his own voice, as he seems to always speaks more than the main presenter. For me this is so irritating and I often turn off the sound when he is commentating.

I don't think he would ever get a job with the BBC.

I would like to raise an issue regarding the pronunciation of words and phrases currently being deemed acceptable by sky sports I have noticed the situation becoming more apparent starting with the words free instead of three we was instead of we were the word innit instead of isn't it the word fawt instead of the word thought amongst other's can I ask who is allowing this to happen surely it can't be acceptable to allow this to be broadcast especially to children who watch these programs and can easily pick up on these terribly inappropriate grammatic errors surely I am not the only person to have noticed this unacceptable behavior and apparent lack of understanding of the basic English language after all surely it isn't much to ask to just get the basics correct, children attend school to be educated and to speak correctly not to have it coached from them by pundits who are lazy and should no better surely those who monitor these programs at sky or on behalf of sky have noticed this issue if not I would be very surprised and they need to be doing something about it as it is not acceptable and should not be allowed to continue

I would like to complain about the vile bias sky sports news has been spuing out daily about the Russia Ukraine conflict. Your blatant bias and bile you spud out daily is an absolute disgrace. I want to know why you think this is acceptable and why you continually drive British government propaganda. I want to know why if you claim to be a fair and unbiased organisation why you aren't giving the events in Yemen and wider Middle East the same attention as you have the Ukraine and in previous propaganda drives blm . Where is your condemnation of the hundreds of innocent victims in Yemen and wider Middle East, where was your condemnation of the innocent white victims of blm also . I want answers as we who see what you are doing are sick to the back teeth of your government agenda driven bias . Also I want you to answer the countries concerns about your lack of coverage of the vaccine injured and vaccine deaths among hundreds of sportsmen and women too . If your answers aren't satisfactory and address the three main complaints I've made I will be going to local newspapers and national newspapers to find who will run with this story. I feel you at sky sports have got away with this despicable behaviour long enough, if the newspapers won't run with this then there are plenty of other ways of getting this story out so please pay attention to these complaints and be aware your answers will be heavily scrutinised and investigated for truth .

I am watching the USPGA golf match play on the golf channel. The actual coverage is very good, however the complaint is about the golfers. It is disgusting to see the likes of Dustin Johnson, Kevin Kisner to constantly spit. This practice has been going on for years, as Tiger Woods also had this disgusting habit. I would be interested to hear the reason the spitting golfers give for their disgusting habit.

I have been playing golf for more than 20 years and can honestly say I have never witnessed spitting on the golf course.

I would be very grateful if somebody could explain to me why very well paid professional golfers feel the need to display such disgusting habits on TV.

Thank you.

The background noise at the start of F1 programmes is absolutely awful. Who are you trying to encourage to watch? With all the other changes brought about this year including the disbandment of Saturday Soccer team Under Stenning, the political correctness, I promise I am giving serious consideration to cancelling Sky Sports especially as rivals such as BT, BBC and Amazon Prime are showing more and more sport.

Diversity gone mad.

When did Naomi Schiff Drive an F1 Race Car ?

How can you be a F1 commentator, pundit, when you have never driven an F1, F2, F3 race car. She did come 16th in W Racing, wow.

I am aware that many of the other haven’t either, but she has been brought in as an expert, experienced race driver…….

Not only is she clueless but looks like she’s going to play tennis, ride a bike in her bright blue lycra, sky what are you doing ?

Brundle, Button, and co, done it been there, world champions and now Naomi who’s done nothing, especially F1

Natalie Pinkham, does it so well, looks good and dresses professionally for the occasion.

Very very poor choice Sky.

After watching the sky sports coverage of the Formula 1 on the 20/3/22, I am extremely disappointed at the unprofessional and biased commentary provided by Ted Kravits and Davd Croft. A couple off examples are:

-David Croft and Ted Kravits referred to the controversial race at the end of last year. The fans, the sport and the competitors have put this behind them, however David and Ted felt the need to mention it.

-David croft expressed delight at two cars breaking down, this is quite unsporting.

-For the first 2-3 laps David Croft could only focus on the driver in 4th position. There was considerably action behind, never mind the drivers at the front.

The other commentator Martin Brundle was professional, un biased and insightful as ever. The weekend brought a new era of Formula 1 cars, the racing was close and exciting, but the commentary was old fashioned.
