mattitheowl Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I wish they'd just play background noise (generic crowd). Having songs and reactions to events doesn't add anything. As for the commentary, I thought it was OK, yes they pointed out how good Brentford were, but that was because they were. They regularly pointed out how well we were doing though and at times said how impressive we were doing to keep them quiet. 5 Just not bothered...

All they did was constantly talk about Brentford - how amazing the 'BMW' was, how amazing the replacements were, how amazing their football was, how great their defence is. This was BEFORE the second goal too, then once Toney scored they were raving about how he was going to score a hat trick. The fact they were playing Weds was merely incidental it seemed. Seems now Fulham have gone up Brentford are the new West London media lovees. As for the pundits they had a former Brentford player and Lee Johnson, not exactly representative was it? Can't imagine it's too hard to find an ex-Weds player or manager on CL evening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is Brentford were the better team and Toney was MOM so their going to heap praise on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watto Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I couldn't find another channel that had muted the fake crowd noise , only option I had was John Pearson and his mate and for me listening to Pearson is worse than our fans singing about Fletcher all game .

A47Owl Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 They did get Henry mixed up with Toney on a few occasions. Hairstyles a bit different so shouldn't have been a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Toney will be worth more than our entire squad will be in 12 months' time That Sky were raving about him should come as no surprise to anybody. If we had a player that was that head-and-shoulders above Brentford's defence, they would have been raving about our guy just as much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynnb Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 The comments on Henry were embarrassingly bad. Even when he hooooofed it out at the end the commentator praised him for how far he could kick it. 2hat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, agreed - whilst quite rightly praising Brentford’s performance, they were both clearly fairly positive about us and our battling qualities. Both were also reasonably positive about our chances of clawing back the 12 point deduction and staying up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sibon Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 The main problem with the crowd noise is that there wasn’t enough resigned tutting. No booing of Morgan Fox either. Sky need to do some research 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is Brentford were the better team and Toney was MOM so their going to heap praise on them. I only heard the punditry at half time so I don't have any specific gripes about what was actually said, however I note that the lack of a Weds related representative set the tone for the evening. I just thought they way the commentators fawned all over Brentford was a bit OTT and that was a constant from start to finish. Yes I know Brentford are a better team than us given they finished considerably higher than us last season (and had the misery of being there when they tonked us 5-0 at their place), and yes I know they played better than us last night. What I don't need is constantly being told that for 90 mins, I can see that with my own eyes. They must've gone through the back story of every Brentford player, don't think it was the equivalent for us and all I would've liked was a bit of balance. Maybe if they'd got Andy Hinchcliffe doing the co-commentary it wouldn't have been such a Brentford love in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Watched on ESPN+ one single neutral commentator, would prefer two commentators but neutrality is a lot more enjoyable. Edited October 22, 2020 by Paul.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
