They have been the only channel to bother with the cricket and then boom BT show up and out of nowhere they have the next Ashes series. That must have kicked someone's arse in Sky and then that is why they have got straight onto securing the next few series without hesitation. The production of Sky is good I just think the commentators could do with a shuffle. I like Athers and Bumble and Ricky Ponting was good but all the others are just 'comfortable'. If I could sync TMS with the pictures I think that would be preferred option. TMS just has more life in them but I guess that is because they have to get that across more due to the lack of pictures. Shows that it is an art form. |

I'm having trouble staying tuned into the Europa League with Lynsey Hipgraves at the helm. Her voice is giving me a headache. I don't mean to be horrible but its unbearable.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Put it simply most of their presenters female or male are simply third rate.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Possibly a little off topic, and I am not entirely sure how many people will be interested.
However, given the number of negative comments about commentators generally being poor these days, I thought I would highlight the one and only Barry Davies is going to be commentating on Absolute Radio's PL games for the next few weeks. Can't wait to hear him commentate again. |

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Couple of deals on the market at the moment in terms of free SKY Sports day passes on NOW TV.
The first deal is with Pringles (Tesco only). You need to buy 2 tubes promoting the SKY Sports NOW TV pass deal. This link will tell you the rest: https://www.bigmatch.pringles.com/uk/Home Tesco are doing 2 promo tubes for £3.00 at the moment: http://www.tesco.com/groceries/produ.../?id=290037438 So if you like Pringles, and want a free SKY Sports NOW TV pass you know what to do :) The second deal is with Gillette. Buy any Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor or Blades packs featuring the ‘FREE NOW TV SKY SPORTS DAY PASS’ and claim your free pass. Here's more details: http://gillettenowtv.com/ This one's not as appealing as the Pringles deal. These razors / blades cost about £10.00. I suppose if your going to be spending that already on a new razor you'd be as well buying the Gillette to get your day pass. |
Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Get my razors from Aldi - free tube of bleed stopper with every one, scarring is optional. See, this way I'm too scary to leave the house and can afford to pay full price for my Sky Sports - Bonus.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Excellent news, thanks Den. I've currently got everything Sky has in HD but at half price (about £40) so this will be a very useful bargaining chip come November as I'm not too bothered about the entertainment/movie channels.

Sorry but certain channels like Dave and several others like Yesterday quite clearly have a certain audience and have always had that but when you start putting boxing on one channel and garden programmes on the other then in my opinion they have quite clearly have not any idea of how to run a channel to its stated remit as they have simply lost the plot in my humble opinion.

Not in my opinion as if that was the case then why has it not shown any sport in its 9 years as its remit was for a certain type of programme/series and Dave like Yesterday and several others channels is veering far too far from the remit of what the channel should be showing in my opinion.
