VSC: Annoying things said on Sky TV

1. Ray Wilkins: "He didn't put enough swazz on that" What does that even mean?
2. Whoever the main commentator is with Ray Wilkins: "Scott Parker plays an unsung hero role"
Unsung hero? The media never ing shut up about him. The Football Writers gave him player of the year, he is lauded as the answer to England's problems (even though when he's played for England he's not done particularly well), today's Observer has a large feature about him as the man who makes Spurs tick.
Unsung hero indeed!
*and relax*

3. Ray Wilkins: Scotty Parker
Are you going to refer to all players by chummy nicknames, Ray. Or just ex-Chelsea players. Who, despite the extensive singing of their praises in the media, are unsung heroes.
4. Ray Wilkins reading out every stat that comes up on screen: "well, that's 11 shots by Tottenham to 2 by QPR".
Reading something out that we can all see anyway is not analysis, Raymond.
5. Ray Wilkins saying "And rightly so". Fifteen times a game. Your job is talking, Ray. Try to do it with a bit more variety, eh?
I really don't like Ray Wilkins.

What about him saying "Young Man" about 80 trillion times a game too?

Oh and why on earth do they have a different commentary team for the 3D broadcasts?

This is why I don't have Sky.
Now if we want to talk about bad commentary, let's discuss Alan ing Green on Radio 5...

The thing with sky is that however evil they are, if you are a sport fanatic they kind of have oyu over the barrel don't they?
Not a great deal of options, either pay them direct, or pay them indirect, or don't get to indulge one of oyur great pleasures in life.
The rotters.

I can't honestly say HD makes a difference to me. And 3D is just a gimmick.
