A thread to discuss Sky related stuff, for better or for worse. Usually worse though.
So Martin Tyler has gone, which is good considering he commentates like he hates being there more often than not. They’ve now got Peter Drury to replace him. Lots of pressure on him as he’s always retweeted thousands of times for various pieces of Shakespearean type commentary. Let’s hope we get some semi excitable commentary with no ‘when Kane leaves’ shite every game. Might be a bit much to ask for….
Saw a bit of news today regarding Jaydee Dyer, one of their reporters. I posted the following around 4 years ago shortly after our CL final:
‘Does anyone watch that shitshow transfer talk on sky sports? There’s a guy on there called Jaydee Dyer and on the very first show a couple of weeks ago, he was really disrespectful about Spurs when they were talking about Eriksen. He said ‘he‘s never going to win any trophies at Spurs so you can understand why he wants a move’. I thought at the time that was a proper ****y thing to say. He said other shitty things too but I can’t remember what they were now. Even worse was he said it so ‘matter of factly’, and it wasn’t challenged by anyone, despite us being in the CL final weeks earlier.
Anyway, just watching the show again now and he’s almost crying about Koscielny leaving Arsenal. He’s talking to the camera and pleading with him to stay. It all makes sense now...... Great unbiased journalism as usual... ?’
Well that Jaydee Dyer has just been let go from Sky. This has made me smile menacingly. Like from the film ‘Smile’. I can’t stress enough how biased he was against us regularly but particularly in that episode. He’ll get another job of course but thank fuck he’s off Sky. I’ve had a kind of irrational hatred of him since I saw that.
Also, Laura Woods. Left TalkSport, apparently taking over on BT Sports (TNT). Good move?
