SKY SPORTS BIASED?

Post by jammie »

i am surprised eddie & stevo didn't prise the st.helens water carrier or the guy that brings out the kicking tee.did we get a mention for anything good .wellens should be up for man of steel not barret,great sthelens defence,great kick by long.FOR GODS SAKE THERE ARE TWO TEAMS PLAYING NOT JUST STAINS.PR makes a great tackle one on one to save a try not a mention,stains do it OH MY GOD IT'S WORLD CLASS.there just like the rest of sl they hate wigan.

Not so sure it's that they hate Wigan because to be fair they are the same whoever Saints play, also if you read Stevo's match preview on the boots n all website you cant help but notice it consisted of 50% Sean Longs return, 45% how good Saints are and 5% to say that Wigan were unchanged from the Leeds game. It gets my goat how often they refer to them as THE CHAMPIONS, cant remember us Leeds or Bradford being referred as that too much when we were. I agree its an obvious biased, it would be intersting to gauge other teams fans views on this if anyone out there knows of a way how? Is there a website out there for all SL fans to post their views?

I try not to get too carried away when talking about Skys RL coverage - it may not be to everyones taste but I genuinely enjoy it for the most part.
However, last nights coverage was shameful in it's biased and blinkered appreciation of everything Saints.
It spoiled an enthralling and hugely enjoyable ( result excepted) game of RL and did little credit to those involved with the commentary.

Here Here, we watch super league so who is playing and appreciate when Wigan are on Sky. But Stevo last night, was so biased it was untrue !!!!!! He will be wearing a Stains shirt shortly whilst at Knowsley Road !!!!!!!!!

I've just emailed boots'n'all about it - told them commentators are supposed to be unbiased (what a joy it is to hear the guys who work for Setanta) and that even though Eddie is a scouser he doesn't have to have an orgasm every time St Helens touch the ball - don't think it will get read out somehow! :D
Never argue with an idiot. He will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.

According to Eddie, Goulding's try was "lucky". Of course, had in been Saints that scored it, it would have been a miracle kick from Long.

if it would have been saints, it would have gone down as a try of the season contender.

i could hear eddie's orgasm on the 40-20 from in the stands.

i wasn't impressed with our kicks last night, not much variation, the high ones were punishing but enar the line, little dinks over were getting us nowhere. this is where we ened to use leuluia.
