David Croft on F1
Can not watch F1 with this fool screaming above pain level and just making trying to enjoy an F1 race inpossible.
Football commentators
I'm watching the Leeds/Liverpool game and would like to know why Sky always has a ex Man United player and fan commentate the Liverpool games, they don't say anything useful and are always critical of Liverpool but the most disappointing part of this game is how they reacted to Harvey Elliots injury, why would you say they didn't think it was a red card when the referee and VAR both deemed it to be a red card that clearly shows the true colours, PLEASE rethink who commentates our games, it makes my blood boil listening to these clowns!
Desired outcome: Rethink who commentates the games
Clear Bias by F1 Commentators
I'm extremely frustrated by the Sky Sports F1 coverage, and the clear bias of the commentators towards Red Bull and Verstappen. Paul Di Resta is the worst for this and has a clear disliking of Lewis Hamilton. It is blatantly obvious and ruins f1 for me.
Nico Rosberg is a breath of fresh air on race days as he challenges the bias of your other commentators without favoring other teams or drivers.
I will not be renewing my sky sports subscription if this continues, I'll watch f1 elsewhere.
Desired outcome: Remove the biased commentating or commentators from f1
Forgot to mention Martin Brundle as well. Clearly hates Lewis Hamilton and will defend everyone over Mercedes. I'm not even a Mercedes fan but it's so annoying having all of the commentators side with Verstappen even when it's his fault.
Absolute rubbish, the F1 commentators are so biased towards Hamilton that it should be called the Lewis Hamilton show!
They have totally ruined my enjoyment of F1, I favour no one I just love F1. This obvious favouritism is sickening and I have taken the sad decision to stop watching after many years.
Completely agree that there is obviously a clear bias towards Mad Max and Red Bull. As you have mentioned, Paul di Resta and surprisingly Martin Brundle are the worst here- it grates on me how they demean Lewis’ achievements. I love the commentary when Anthony Davidson is present with Johnny Herbert as you know damn well they will call it as they see it. As for MV being a champion, f1 fans must have missed something - he has won a handful of races and a few poles…so if these presenters can’t get it right, they really have no place on this channel…
Golf
Alison Whitaker sounds like a neighbours lawn mower all afternoon gobby seems to want to say something when a pause would be better. Lacks knowledge engages mouth before brain. Let's not be like BBC keep someone who is indifferent
Desired outcome: Replace her
Robert Key commentary
Robert Key, commentating at approximately 12:55 on 5 September during the India/England cricket test, just uttered the following phrase, "you don't need teachers, just stick on YouTube. That is how kids learn these days, you don't need teachers anymore". This is an appalling comment and should be retracted (he did sort of retract 5min later). Robert Key knows a lot about cricket, but please, do not insult the whole teaching profession with such ignorant (and frankly dangerous) comments. The world needs more teacher, especially those that engage, experiment, challenge, apply and re-apply learning. YouTube is emphatically not a substitute - although potentially a useful aid. Please apologise now!
Desired outcome: Apology, on air.
I am wondering why the coverage of last 2 IPL matches ended without showing the post match presentation even though there was still time left in the schedule?
The decision to terminate the transmission has robbed cricket fans of the opportunity to listen to the interviews and watch the presentations.
Kind regards
Jaya Gunatillaka (aged 73)
Graeme souness
Please remove that cretin from all future Man Utd matches, he's so bitter and biased it's painful to watch the guy is a joke . If your not talking about Liverpool he's almost ready to start crying I mean come on last week he even said can we please talk about Liverpool then turned around and nearly walked off . How Roy Keane has not smacked him in the mouth by now is beyond me
Content.
Just finished watching sky sports premier league review 2020/2021. I'm a west ham fan we produced our best placing on years. We produced some of our best displays, entertaining games some superb players yet every game that was shown on this program was negative. Games lost or teams needing points due to there precarious positions given more air time rather then some excellent entertaining games we played. Whatever sky sport football has against the club or our owners shouldn't be detrimental to the fans. Our owners are ridiculous they don't stand for the fans, we are at arms length with how they run the club. Yet due to Whatever is happening behind the scenes we don't seem to be given the opportunity to enjoy our moment even with the transfer centre we don't get any attention, That show is very frustrating to watch other clubs get mentioned even If players are starting or how new signings are settling in rather then give us a rumour or two. I keep my ears to the ground and I know rumours with my teams yet nothing is mentioned. This big 6 club league is so biased to super Sundays or analysis its very unfair that I have to pay my subscription knowing that liverpool man utd get mentioned every day due to your so called experts.
Desired outcome: Want a reply. Want to know why my team doesn't get the coverage. The premier league review wasn't enjoyable so what can be done.
Pundit
Graham souness has a clear and very dangerous and toxic agenda against Paul pogba. He should be unbiased and give his analysis without bias or personal feelings coming into question. However he has slandered pogba for not reason what's so ever. Spreading lies such as he's a £100 million pound player. That is entirely false. He failed to analyse his 4 assists against Leeds. He has been doing this and getting away with it from when Paul pogba first resigned for UTD. I think and many others think that this is borderline fascism and racism due to the fact that he can commend a player like Kane even though he missed training but wants fo slander pogba for somthing his agent said. I will no longer be watching any sky sports program with the unprofessional, biased punditry from souness. I echo the voices of many.
Desired outcome: A speaking to , a disaplinary , a public apology or at least an explanation from the man himself .
A pundit
I wish to complain about sky sports for allowing graeme souness to continue as a pundit. His behaviour towards paul pogba is absolutely disgusting. He is paid to analyse football not criticise him all the time. Last night he turned his back when micah richards mentioned paul pogba. Not only this ignorant it is bordering on racism. I can't believe some people are trying to excuse his behaviour. The fact that sky sports are allowing him to continue is unbelievable. This has been going on for years
Desired outcome: He is sacked
I wish sky sports would do something but it’s clear they enjoy the rating and the views
Skysports news
Title: DONT START THIS AGAIN.
Good evening.
First weekend of the Premier league and you lot are at it again for the umpteenth year in a row being biased for Liverpool. It may as well be called skysports-liverpool.
First caption on the advert is a hand touching the anfield sign.
Reporter saying "liverpool regain THEIR premier league title"
Prem predictions photo SALAH front and centre. (I have attached a picture)
Liverpool aired more times than any other despite not winning as much.
Also can you have a word with the console game fifa please. Treat Alexander Arnold on ever cover when he isn't even an international.
Desired outcome: Make the show less biased. Make it more champions based at least
Soccer Saturday
Getting rid of Matt Le Tissier Phil Thompson and Charlie Nicholas was the biggest Mistake Sky could make.
The commentators now will Never ever be as good as the 3 you got rid of.
There is more excitement in a cemetery!
And you have lost a lot of viewers because of it 🤣😂
I hope another sports channel takes the 3 you got rid of.
I won't watch Soccer Saturday ever again.
Desired outcome: Bring the 3 in Question back.
Golf coverage
Why do you concentrate on just a few golfers, particularly your favourites. We were discussing why so few of us watch the European Tour as opposed to the PGA Tour while out on the course this morning, For example Dale Whitnell was mentioned again as he has been doing quite well and is known to some of us. I have turned on to watch him play and once again despite being in 2nd place (currently 8 under par) you have not shown him once. Why is that? We have no idea why this it could be.
My US friends say the coverage is so poor and way too much talking and also do not bother watching on the Golf Channel.
Desired outcome: Better coverage instead of just following your favourite players.
The commentators don't even take a breath constant inane drivel
Shut up for 5 seconds on shots
Sky Sports F1 Commentary
The F1 commentators are consistently biased in favour of Mercedes. I've noticed there are 3 commentators with current affiliations with Mercedes either in a reserve driver capacity or strategy/planning. I previously enjoyed watching Sky's F1 balanced coverage of the Grand Prix compared to the Channel 4 Mercedes leaning commentary. However, Sky F1 seems to be going down the way of bias opinions, especially considering the influence that Mercedes have over the commentators.
Desired outcome: Review of the impartiality of the F1 commentators
Commentary
Sky sports commentary is consistantly biased and thus provides an unenjoyable watching experience for everyone. A clear example is the British and Irish lions tour of south africa. FIrstly they cannot even pronounce the osuth african names correctly, secondly they are clearly in favour of the british and irish lions. This ruins the experience for everyone involved, including the british audience.
Desired outcome: The removal of blatant biased commentary and to have commentators of both nations commentating on the event
Commentary The Hundred Cricket
I am currently watching Brave v Phoenix and cannot believe that we now have KP enthusing wildly over the batting of Vince! In the first innings the commentators barely mentioned the 6 from Livingstone!
It's utterly disgraceful bias that has spoilt my enjoyment.
The BBC wouldn't be showing blatant preference for one side. Shame on you!
Desired outcome: Reassess how you comment impartially!
100 cricket
In a pandemic I find it unacceptable to see players spitting, normally this is disgusting but now it is offensive - no place for this in what is a very exciting venture.
Desired outcome: Stop players spitting
Nick Faldo
Commenting on golf british open. Mentioned result of British Grand Prix, thanks very much ...like ya need a min character number ffs
Desired outcome: Stop commentators talking about other sports results as some of us are recording so we can watch it later
Golf coverage
Too many adverts, and most of them for sky. I pay for sports coverage, not ads.
Whilst some commentators are good (Nick Doughty and Andrew Coltart), most are annoying. Especially Paul MacGinley and, absolute worst of all, Wayne Riley, who loves the sound of his own voice and comes out with so much rubbish. Does sky (and Wayne) know that the secret of good commentating is to say less and let the viewer watch and follow what is happening themselves? Get rid of Wayne, please.
Desired outcome: Less ads, get rid of wayne Riley and Paul macginley
Political Comments by Sky Pundit
Today and post the unacceptable behaviour of some English Football supporters, Gary Neville has made comments in the form of suggesting that the issue of racists insults is the fault of the Prime Minister. Mr Neville is known to be a supporter of the Labour Party, and while that is not an issue, he must not use his position as a Sky Football Pundit to make political comments or push his agenda for the Labour Party. He should be numeral while acting for Sky as the pundit. He can have his view but should not be using Sky Sport to act in this way.
Desired outcome: A Public statement re Sky denouncement of his political view in this case.
F1 Commentator
I am writing to complain about the completely unacceptable bias of Paul De Resta during commentating on f1 races, he is not impartial, and is so obviously a Verstappen fan, he is very dismissive of Lewis Hamilton, is this because de Resta is a failed ex Mercedes driver? Of maybe he is racist, you only have to check out the Facebook posts to see that I am far from the only one who thinks the same, all the other commentators are neutral in there commentating, which is fair, perhaps de Resta is being paid by red bull! We are so fed up with it that it is ruining our enjoyment of listening to sky sports f1, so much so, that we are considering cancelling sky sports and watching on channel 4 after the event, at least all them are impartial
Desired outcome: Paul de Resta to be told to be more impartial
