Yorkie Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Didn't see it live but it's tedious as fuck how a significant percentage of coverage and analysis seems to be motivated by conjuring moments of drama/comedy for onward sharing on social media. "You won't believe what X Pundit did this week!" every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Sky are about 3 steps behind with it all tbh. Authenticity is a huge part of the reason things like The Kick Off are popular imo and they actually have that with Neville and Carragher. MOTD's whole Wright/Shearer banter thing is authentic as well, so it just comes across as obviously set-up when they put Keane and Richards together as this a whacky/straight man comedy duo.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 While I’ve no doubt Keane is passionate and has firm views on modern day football and today’s footballers, the penny dropped with me that his grumpiness is somewhat put on when I saw him in that SkyBet advert - the one where he goes to Craven Cottage. It’s exactly the sort of thing his personality and temperament would have you believe he’d never take part in, but there we go. Presumably money talks.

Keane was a breath of fresh air when he first his the scenes as a pundit. His desperation to say something controversial or act as if he is furious is a wee bit stale and predictable now.

Barnes23 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Nicely follows on from the discussion of punditry in this country further up the page. It's actually a joke from top to bottom, not a single one of them really worth listening to in any great level of detail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 But he's a good manager, played at the top level, worked under brilliant managers, won major trophies, a real great bloke. Who needs tactics to win football matches when you have a reputation?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolute fucking con merchant and part of the BBC gravy train. It's criminal he makes a living off the license fee payer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I must admit I really struggle with a lot of Sky's output. They've shifted slowly towards a more American/ESPN/Stephen A and Skip type of coverage. I have no issue with pundits disagreeing, where I struggle is when it becomes a shouting match.
