Kept nodding throughout that.
In addition, I think that Sky introduced and developed that selling of football during commentary. Along came the regular hyperbole that never happened before. People believed they were getting something far better than they were used to.
Tyler is dreadful for this "AND IT'S LIVE", though he has a great way of putting images into words. He needs to retire in the next year or so though. Parry has been demoted to Championship and he needs shifting as well. Nobody else at Sky deserves to be a regular in the hot seat, so it'll be interesting to see what happens there.
Hope Sky don't get Mowbray. I don't rate him. Steve Wilson is a very good commentator, I also like Simon Brotherton, but there aren't many coming through that deserve top billing at Sky. Peter Drury would be my shout.
I think they are all ***** to be honest
Apart from phil Suarez
Oh, Sky are the source of many evils. So my suggestion is: just get rid of them. I did, over a decade ago. As a result I am less informed about modern football than many, but I can spot a snakeoil salesman when he comes knocking. And most of those gurning twats staring back at you from their overblown coverage fit that category.
Ditching Sky is the best decision we ever took. £70 a month by the time I quit it. Replaced by Netflix for £12 a month. 44
To get Sky Sports, you have to take out the Entertainment package. You want a specific channel, that's a different package. I occasionally invest in Now TV it was £200 for the season, split with my partner and a work colleague, about £70 each. Hadn't watched Sky Sports for 3/4 years, it is irritating when you realise that their main agenda is to overhype everything they cover so can't see us making the same decision for next season.
I know the name (Clive Tyldesley)But i wouldn't have known who he works for or what he sounds like and the alleged crap that he spouts. I don't listen to any of them, never have, or the pundits. I have the TV on mute if i watch a game as their is absolutely nothing that they can tell me about what i'm watching, unless i'm interested in how many caps a certain player has got for whichever county he represents (which i'm not) Commentary and punditry is just noise to me. When i watch a game in the flesh i never consider having someone sat next to me telling me what's going on, or another person summarising events at half time. I have no problem doing that myself.
Give me Alan Green any day... someone who really knows his football
Awful commentator. The worst. He's not employed to give his opinion, he's employed to tell us what is happening on a pitch we cannot see.
Comments during Man U v Newcastle "By the way, folks, when I say United I mean Manchester United. They are the United, so no writing in"
When Northern Ireland (his country) beat England - he was absolutely livid.
Ideal commentary team?
Barry Davies, co-commentator (at a push, Trevor Brooking, but prefer no-one)
Half time chat - Des Lynam, Brian Clough
From the latest Popbitch.The tabloids might have been miffed to see ITV commentator Clive Tyldesley snubbed a bit this World Cup, but there’s a few people out in Doha who are glad of the break.
Tyldesley has a running bit of schtick he seems wedded to in which he calls himself “Charlie” and refers to the Brit women sports presenters as his “Angels”. That kind of over-familiar uncle humour might not be so bad if “Charlie” didn’t also like to email his thoughts to these “Angels” from time to time, referring to himself in the third person throughout.
Messages like “Charlie has some advice for your presenting style” and “Charlie saw you by the pool today in your new bikini” etc.
