[Albion] Commentary: BBC v Sky

[Hugo Rune]

The Sky commentary in our recent fixtures has been so poor, generally the analysis of experts such as Alan Smith has been ill thought or bias.

What a refreshing change the BBC commentary pair are today. A lot more research and a lot less bias.

Got the sound down.

Good for my health.

Turning the picture off would help too

The BBC does live sport better than anyone else. That's just a fact. Doesn't matter what sport it is either.

 

[Razzoo]

Turned the "crowd" off. Way better

I can’t stand Alan Smith, Danny Murphy sounds like he’s as frustrated watching Albion as we are.

 

[Doonhamer7]

Danny Murphy is very good at this, well educated, honest

Does seem to be one of the most unbiased commentators I hear nowadays even when it’s a ex team of his.
I’m not giving the sky commentators any credit but I find bt to be even worse personally

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Nice not to hear some strident token woman squawking gormless platitudes. Unusual for the BBC

 

[W.C.]

It made me laugh when they both went 'Ooh that was nice.' at Gross' Cruyff turn, when all of us were thinking standard.

 

[Official Old Man]

For the first time in a while the radio commentary was in sync with the TV (no Sky few seconds delay) so started with radio and TV turned down. Had to turn back to TV because Warren and JC sounded awful. Not their fault, just no atmosphere and they need a crowd to get them upping their voices.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

I have come to really dislike match commentaters and pundits ...so biased . Today I had the sound off and FM Radio Sussex playing . At least any bias was in our favour.

Both my son and I called "Johan" about a second before he did it! ha ha

Couldn't believe Smith when we played Leicester, kept on about Leicester's injuries and we hadn't suffered. What about 3 of our starting back 5 March, Lamptey and Webster. But then what do you expect for an old Leicester player..

Agree.i like his insight into the games and he seems to be unbias even if he wishes Fulham will stay up.

To be fair the BBC do have about a month between games to do their research rather than cramming the night before.

 

[dangull]

They seemed surprised that it was an entertaining game. Even making a joke that the viewers won't be expecting that. All tongue in cheek and I wasn't offended.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

So much better than the dick on Sky (or is it BT?) who intersperses his commentary with tooth-pullingly excruciating 'facts' and inane platitudes.

'A good cross from Brighton. That's the 167th successful pass Brighton have made in a first half since the start of the restrictions that have sadly kept the fans out of the stadiums. And we all just want things to return to normal. Once again the pass has come to nothing. That's the 127th time a pass from Brighton has come to nothing in the first or second half since the last time they scored more than two goals from open play in a premier league game. And that was against next week's opponents Newcastle. And that's a record they could happily do without. I think they are sorely missing Adam Lallana, athough he recently scored his first goals since November 2019'

And on and ****ing on.

Me too, much better - and unlike the screening of our U23 matches, the deafening shouting from the touchline was pretty much filtered out too.
