That's definitely one of the more interesting takes I've seen on here. No just the changes made in the last 2 years. It was getting crap before, it's absolutely abhorrent now. Like above Sky sports news was never off in my house for a good 10 years morning noon and night weekdays and weekends. I haven't switched to that channel since covid. YouTubers on shit webcams and laptop microphones in their bedroom (I bet that will continue post lockdown) Garbage presenters with no personality. Pundits just there to fill a quota and because they are cheap (obvious cost cutting bonus) It is dry. Not informative. No personalities. Just a bunch of wet blankets.

a-k Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) The BBC's article on the Men's Olympics semifinals doesn't even mention who Spain beat in their match to reach the final... https://www.bbc.com/sport/olympics/58072447 Quote It looked like the second semi-final was heading for penalties until Marco Asensio scored in the 115th minute in Saitama. The Real Madrid winger came off the bench to score the winning goal with a superb curling strike from inside the box to send Spain to a first Olympic final since they finished runners-up at the 2000 Games in Sydney.

Phil Silvers Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 There was a lady on sky sports just, a non exec director at Brentford, her name was Preeti Shetty, don't know why but it made me chuckle, she most definitely wasn't pretty shitty,.she was cool.

Jimzk5 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Journalism around football transfers is now one paper or website saying a club is interested In a player, and the next day its reported in every other paper, website, blog whatever with the words "according to reports" And Birmingham live is the worst for it. If a 7 year old wrote on twitter he wanted Messi at villa they run a story linking us with him based on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one last week where they were rating potential transfer based on bookies odds, but they made it out as if Villa were making major signings. The only good thing Birmingham Live do is their ex player podcasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Phil Silvers Posted August 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2021 Bored of hearing sky and talksport going on and on about how football fans around the world should be excited about the greedish and messi moves. How brilliant it is for football fans to see these great teams with the best players, blah blah **** off. They want us to support footballs scum12 effectively and push your home club in to the back ground. Everything but Villa is the enemy, if I'm free with nout to watch I might tune in to other games and that's it. In a way Jack leaving means I don't have to bother with poxy safegate boring football either. Rant over UTV and FTR 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 David Pleat co-commentating the Super Cup. Sounds about 100 years old. Mispronouncing every name and his knowledge of football seems not to extent past 2001. Like how much research do you have to do to know Tammy isn't called "Abrahams"?

The Fun Factory Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 You Tube or other media platforms, offer far better analysis often by part timer people trying to get into the bloated, rotten, industry. I have watched several things by HITC sevens which is fantastic in explaining complex situations such as what is happening at Derby County. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 BBC Football have asked their 20 pundits to predict the Premier winners. Predict-ably, 7 have gone for Chel$ea and 13 For Man Cit£h. Picking their top 4, all 20 "pundits" picked the same teams (Manure,Citeh,Chelsea, Plop) except one who had Leicester. But...best league in the world 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
