wealdstone Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Nothing wrong with their sports coverage ,just do not see the advantage to the viewer of having to pay more to growing number of providers to watch sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sky hadn't ripped-off the customers to line the pockets of footballers and their agents the likes of BT would probably have left them alone. As soon as silly money started circulating then competition was inevitable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazeaway Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Starman gets picked on more than anyone else on this forum. Â Good on him for giving it back to one of the worst offenders. Â He deserves everything he gets to be fair. The bloke is an utter ****. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 It seems that stevebrum and Gavan are always involved in the arguing. Why don't you use the private messages to argue and call names, rather than posting childish insults and comments for everyone to see? Thanks for the private message. So educated for a 'new' poster.

They all are. Sky raised the bar though and that invited the likes of BT in. People seem to think that Sky are a generous charity giving sport to the masses then the awful BT came along to spoil it. At least BT's coverage assumes the viewer has a brain. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beowulf Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) Rich From somebody who's never met me. True, but I can make an assessment on what and how you post, some of which would embarrass a 5 year old.

Shadders Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 My negatives are minor gripes, really and are And finally, a truly petty pet hate: the constant use of teams' nicknames ahead of the place/club names. Personally, I'd never say I was going to watch the Stars against the Rebels on TV or that I was off to Manchester for the match between the Aces and the Lions, I'd simply say I was going to watch King's Lynn against Somerset or Belle Vue against Leicester. It all sounds rather Americanised to me, and I can't help feeling that emphasising the places where the clubs are based would help audiences begin to identify with their own nearest team.

PHILIPRISING Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Americans do televised sport better than anyone. British broadcasters could learn a lot from them IF you can put with the seemingly endless adverts ... much worse than Sky for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been watching NFL/MLB since the mid 80's and have become used to it. American football and baseball have many breaks. You learn to live with it after a while. Speedway is fast flowing, your regular 15 heat meeting should be done and dusted within 90 minutes, even with advert breaks every four heats.
