KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum OTT Commentating in Arsenal Game!

The Sky commentating last night left a lot to be desired. By the end of the first half the superlatives were going into overdrive. Their first goal was "brilliant", but Insua's was just "a good goal" said Paul Merson.

The commentator was the same, going OTT every time he spoke. The only one who seemed to be equal in his descriptions was Alan Smith, and he's an ex-Arsenal player!(BTW, he never touched that ball with his head in 1989)

Couldn't agree more mate. Another case of the media being anti LFC, but it's always the same on Sky. TO be fair to Alan Smith I think he was just enjoying the way Arsenal were playing and he's no where near as bad as Merson normally is. I nearly fell off my chair when Jamie Redknapp got Merson to admit we should have had a penalty at the death! He's with Hoddle, CHarlie Nicholas, Andy Gray, who are all the same anti Liverpool, but big up there ex clubs. Hansen on the BBC and Beglin on ITV are far more balanced with thier views and if LFC are playing badly will say so and won't go over the top with praise if LFC are playing well. THe anti LFC trend spreads far wider into things like club debt.

Agree - Ian Darke just went on about all the wins Arsenal have had over Liverpool. Alan Smith, an ex Gooner, was saying stuff to try and address the balance !

i don't know why you even bother with sky - i cancelled my subscription years ago .... would rather listen to it on the radio and look for online feeds that put up with tw*ts like andy gray talk rubbish

The way Gray harps on you'd swear he was in the same class as Pele.

its my fault for not using the mute button. will do that in future me thinks.
