compo 6,100 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Just when I was thinking of reactivating my sky football channel they made my mind up for me after axing Thompson Nicholas and Le Tissier from the Saturday slot probably to be replaced by some black presenters to balance things up as have most news channels then it's a no more sky football for me . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,229 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Watching Sky Sports News with live updates they seemed to have a female presenter whose appearance seemed to cover all avenues of today's hysteria. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,350 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 There was a time when I really enjoyed those Soccer Saturday guys, but I must admit I have it on mute nowadays. I can't be arsed with them. All of them are idiots - Nicholas especially. Their opinions on the game are dated. Sometimes you need a change. The MNF change, from Keys and Gray to Neville and Carragher was brilliant. Although, the names being thrown about don't fill me with confidence. Clinton Morrison is an idiot, who barely speaks English. Sue Smith is just blah. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,579 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Football is totally over-analysed these days. I usually turn it over the minute the final whistle blows. And Charlie Nicholas is a fud. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,125 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Punditry is easy. Depending on how the centre forward misses a chance the expert can say “should have hit it first time” if he tries to control the ball and gets tackled or if it’s hammered over the bar, he says “should have taken a touch” And they get paid, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malangsob 1,195 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Nothing worse than listening to a guy who watches sports talk about the same thing you just watched. That is about stupid. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaBoy 2,232 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 No issue with freshening things up after a while, but change for Woke sake is a bad cowardly change. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,329 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 It definitely needed freshening up, and brought up to date. Thompson, Nicholas and possibly Le Tissier had outstayed their welcome. They're just not relevant anymore. Are they being replaced by Micah Richards? I'd say that's a definite upgrade. I don't agree with positive discrimination but if people are getting there because they're doing their job to a high quality (and they're better than those that they're replacing) then what's the problem? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
