This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I hope this is the right complaints board, but I was disgusted to see sky sports news showing archive footage of some nobody from 2001 speaking about Erikson when i could easily have said in one sentence, the man is a joke and has ruined England's best chance of world cup glory especially with the other results.

Get some better footage and just interview a random guy than that garbage. England could have gone the distance if it was down to a true english man, not a foreign joke of a manager who had no passion for the situation.

I feel sick to my very core because of your coverage and englands lack of ambition to atempt to win the World cup.

It is difficult to make your complaint heard for example as a neutral I am I am appalled at the way Andy Gray constantly goes over board regarding Man UTD or Chelsea there are four teams in the European semi finals all worthy of being there yet I wonder how much Chelsea and Man UTD have commissioned Mr Gray and others as they seem to be the only teams there which is a insult too two great footballing teams to be relegated to second rate no hoppers.

I have just watched a news report on Sky Sports News regarding the collapse of a crane at the building site at San Paulo football stadium and actually heard the newscaster snigger within the report! Surely when construction workers have lost their lives there is no place to consider the effects of the late handover to FIFA and at no point should any professional journalist or TV medium relay any hint if sarcasm towards the fact that the stadium will obviously now be delayed? I am thoroughly disgusted at the report and by anyone who would take such a tragic event as an opportunity to have a go at the construction of a sports facility, not a hospital or any such like public amenity!

Wayne is being bias about Michael Van Gerwen Live on Sky Sports. I've noticed it for a while now and he only talks about him and it's unfair on the other players and I'm not the only person that thinks this.

Sky cover on the Open has been running since first tee shots and there were only 6 shots shown in the first 40 mins. We don't pay subscriptions to listen to prattle we want to see the sport played.

SkySports sack Gray and Keyes for unacceptable COMMENTS made. They keep the aggressive snidy scowling scumbag Carragher after gobbing through a car window on to a young girl. I always viewed Sky football as very professional but they are every bit a disgrace as the bully boy!

Hi.
Could you please stop showing re-plays during the live game - when the actual game is still going on.
We are missing fundamental parts of the game whilst you are showing us things we've already seen!
For an example of this, please watch the first half of St Helens vs Castleford from 24th May.
Thanks in advance

Normally enjoy Sky golf coverage, in fact main reason for being a Sky customer. Unfortunately the U.S commentary provided on this event is well below normal standards. Presenters seem to be more interested in expressing opinions rather than commentating on the golf!. Such a shame to have great event being spoiled by these presenters. Poor service.

How many times are Leeds United going to be shown live on sky tv?
Last season was a joke and it's looking the same again this season, they get more coverage than any other team surely, I'm a Burnley with no grudge to hold against Leeds but come on give other championship teams a chance too.

Can we please have an ex City player on the panel. All they have talked about is Chelsea, then Rednap (the City hater) starts talking about Liverpool!
Do these pundits not understand that Chelsea played as well as they could against far superior opposition, all this talk about Chelsea not trying is a load of bollocks, there just not as good!

Listening to Wayne Riley is like listening to an adolescent [censored], I am actually thinking of cancelling as he makes the golf unenjoyable. The other commentators are so good.
His use of language is totally inappropriate for a TV commentator, especially for golf, perhaps he would be better on American TV.

The re-deployment of Jamie Carragher shows the complete contempt that Sky Sport has for acceptable
behaviour by its contracted employees. If spitting at fans is condoned what next, defecating in public? And, why do muti- national companies like Sky make it so difficult for viewers to express negative opinion. Are you frightened of feedback?

I am disgusted that Jamie Carragher is back, it also seems he gets more airtime than any other commentator.
SKY you should never have lifted his suspension and got rid of him for good. What he did was disgusting, but you seem to think this is acceptable. Shame on you SKY Sports, its ruined my viewing now and im not alone

Production, camera work and the lady interviewer at end of match were dire! Get a grip, Sky Sports! Pay a lot of money for your service and expect better. All very disjointed in the chat part of the proceedings. I much prefer the coverage of matches on BT Sport. Also it's about time S Barnes hung up his boots!

Events not shown by sky sports ie champions league not reported on sky sports news is this jealousy because the bbc took it from you, this also happened with Spanish football too, sky sports lost this and guess what you stop reporting the results and scores, I am a sky sports subscriber so this really does disappoints me

Why oh why do you have this dreadful man who spits at people who goad him as a presenter? I always think of him as the guy who spat! Seriously Sky Sports lets get back to some old fashioned values as this says more about you guys than him.
I'm sure you're not short of better offers for a presenter.

Kind regards,

A very disappointed sky viewer

It is outrageous that grand slam tennis and mens tennis is no longer televised on Sky. I am a true tennis fan and hugely upset that the only way to watch it is through Amazon. Please tell me that you will bring the coverage back to us soon. It simply is NOT fare.

I just want to know why Carragher has to mention Liverpool every time he commentates on the football? Even when Liverpool are not even playing? I don't want to know about how brilliant he thinks they are and that they are the only ones who can challenge Man City, He should be talking about the TWO TEAMS actually playing, NOT Liverpool!

Currently watching the F1 qualifying hits, the ad break between q2 and q3 you broadcast the race and told us who won the qualifying! What's the point of watching the highlights when you tell us the result before it's finished broadcasting! After the programme yes but in the middle of it? Not happy.

Yet again another ex Liverpool player commentating on a game. Game in question is Chelsea v Liverpool. Why can you not get a non biased commentator on a game like this. I'm not a fan of either of these clubs but Carragher, yet again, is all Liverpool orientated. Honestly, shouldn't be allowed.

Why have you let Jamie Carragher continue in his role? Because every time I turn onto sky sport and I see him I turn you off . If he spat in his managers face, basically you! Would he still be there? Don't think so. Actually makes me feel sick. He must have really good management team, let me know who they are

I am watching the Liverpool v Spurs game on 27/10/19. I would have thought commentary would need to be neutral but obviously Jamie Carragher is biased. I also find this Gary Neville is commentating Your regular broadcaster is balanced and fair - why can't your ex football players be the same.

N. Ireland v. Holland, 16th Nov. 2019.
The co-commentator continually refers to the Dutch left back as Danny Blind.
His name is Daley Blind - Danny's son.
Very unprofessional conduct and spoiling the event a little.

Kind regards

Hi, I'm just a bit concerned about the fact that a rebound fight yesterday was in Saudi Arabia. I understand the financial gain from this but surely that cannot overrule the fact that Saudi Arabia is a dictatorship which harms human rights. A discipline like boxing, which is about respect, should not promote a country like this.

Blatant sexism by the commentators on World Darts coverage ( especially female ones)
They should call both Sherrock & Dobey by their first names or both by their surnames. Sexism when it suits! Shame, because it's such good coverage.
