How biased was yesterday's coverage?

[The Godfather]

Dear oh dear...this was worse than the BBC against Cardiff last season. Sky commentators were constantly making Swansea out to be the new Barcelona, despite the fact all they seem to do is pass the ball sideways. By the sound of it, Messi should be feeling threatened by Leon Britton! Also, notice how the pundits were continually laughing at Warnock complaining on the touchline...erm, he actually had a valid point! And what really pissed me off was their comments on Danny Graham's goal: 'the Swans made their chance count'. The only reason they got the chance was through two obvious handballs, something that the commentators hardly mentioned.

Was laughing when they said on Sky how we must be gutted we missed out on Graham but failed to mention we got Helguson who has scored more goals

I for one am not disapointed we missed out on Graham, I don't like that sort of striker.

All QPR seem to get is a lot of mocking from people at the moment, really winds me up but i'm looking forward to shutting them up in January

I don't have Sky Sports. Main reason is I cannot stand the incessant hype they attach to their football.... Godfather's OP sums it up for me - they take what's frankly a dour and uninteresting game for most casual observers and then start laddling on the hype to hysterical levels; they seem absolutely incapable of just showing/teling it as it is. I reckon they've created today's modern "prawn sandwich brigade" who can't cope at a real match with no endless replays and punditry telling them what to think.

I noticed this which annoyed me and when Taarabt made 1 bad pass they started saying he can be frustrating when he's not playing his best etc. but when one of their players did the same thing it was 'unlucky'

I nearly pulled the trigger when they started talking about how the other team cant score when one team has the ball.

Agree it was a swans love in.
Btw the pen that they were so badly robbed of i have watched it a couple of times and wound it back and watched it again, and i'm not convinced Traore touched him.
To me watching Traore's left foot it looks like he stops himself from swinging his leg through by kicking the ground next to Graham and i didnt think his knee touched him either. Just my view

They are clueless c#nts most of the time. Only a couple on Sky ever worth listening too.

[LoveRs]

Swans home game so they give them the love! We wouldve had if it had been at HQ something like Londons new rising stars. Tbh i couldnt live without Sky sports now but very frustrating commentry!

Only ones I like listening to for good knowledgable football chat is Jamie Redknapp & Gary Neville.

Must confess that the last person I would have liked to listen talk about football and give an expert opinion is Gary Neville but has proved me wrong

Really impressive and bottom line is he speaks like a football fan and does not even seemed biased in anyway

[Factamondo]

brian clough wouldve been great on sky!!!

[Bluehoop]

Good observation by the op.
I watched it back today on sky plus and noticed that they kept on waffling on about how they dominate possession when the stats were in their favour - about 65% in a 10 minute spell in the first half. After that, we had a decent share of the ball, had more shots on and off target, more corners and probably completed as many passes but guess what, second half they didn't mention possession or shots once

Exactly mate. Really knows what he's talking about & makes some great points on all aspects of the game. Same as yourself proved me wrong.
