Reviews and Complaints

The commentators covering the F1 weekend have showed bias towards a specific driver and have not presented the sport in the best light. Pushing for a penalty when the officials do it give one and continuing to show and speak about one driver when others are performing. The camera work also refuses to show other drivers during the race and will only focus on Lewis Hamilton even when he isn't in a race battle where others are.

F1 commentators are so biased towards Lewis. Can we please get other commentators that have some journalistic integrity that reports fairly and unbiasedly? It is unpleasant when you support other teams to listen to these commentaries talking about Hamilton 70% of the time. Some other teams and drivers perform well but we hardly hear of them. Ferrari hardly gets mentioned. It's nauseating at times to listen to these lewis fans.

I have been an avid F1 fan for over 50 years. F1 has always been about the best of the best by making motor racing an art form. David Croft has made F1 coverage unwatchable. His constant shouting is like going to a concert to hear music ruined by a non-stop belligerent audience member -- only worse. HE has ruined F1 for me and I will no longer be watching F1 until he is replaced.

It's absolute [censored] Ken !

Why have your staff on sky sports news particularly the ladies stopped wearing poppies, Rachel yankey and the blonde lady on now, blonde lady on earlier and Hayley McQueen yesterday appear not to be wearing them or hiding them

Can someone please tell Jamie Carragher to shut up in the commentary honestly Liverpool played West Ham today and all I can hear on the tv was his annoying voice, people are trying to watch the game on tv not listening to him for about 20mins talking absolute rubbish. Sky Sports I am making a complaint to you please step in and sort Jamie Carragher out cause I can't take it I pay to watch the game not to listen to him talk nonsense.

I wish to complain about the punditry of Jamie Gallagher even though I am a strong Liverpool supporter. He is completely spoiling
the game with his screaming and excitable commentary which IS NOT necessary. Please replace him immediately if you want more
viewers to enjoy the ‘beautiful game'.
I see no reason why we have to have two commentators for each match, the one who is usually an ex player often fails to understand
that just because he has played the game he has a divine right to lecture us all in a manner that is not only condescending but often incorrect.

Watching the highlights and you tell us the results in the adverts! Have only watched Q1! Purposely stayed off social media and news to watch the highlights and you've gone and ruined it for us! I mean seriously… now there's no point watching the rest of the programme! Boring now we know the result! What a stupid thing to do! Can you please think about what you're doing before ruining our watching experience on the future!?

This is the second time I have complained and irrespective of who I support, I believe that the way that commentators discuss players is derogatory. There is a difference between the way commentators discuss and state what is happening in the football game, and when they decide it is time to add their opinions. I just witness the Manchester derby and Gary Neville was being so harsh and quite rude towards his own team Manchester United. I am sure he does not wish to be bias, but he was rude past the point of explaining what is going on. Earlier in the week I witnessed other games where commentators speak so harshly of players that are merely trying their best. These men clearly have mental health that needs to be considered, and does not seem to be. It is atrocious the way these men are spoken about. I get there is competition and clear winners and losers in every game, but if the players heard this back, they may be hurt or their confidence may be knocked. Commentators should merely stick to what is happening on the pitch and refrain from adding their own opinions or stating the obvious. If your team is losing badly you do not want to hear "this is an awful show from this team and they can better". This makes the spectators at home feel worse than they already do, and God forbid the players hear what they are saying, they'll feel worse than they already do. No one person is to blame for a football match outcome yet these people seem to have a lot to say about it. I beg that commentators refrain from such detrimental opinions and merely state what is happening in the game. Even if my team wins a game, I do not feel proud as the commentators are discussing how awful a pass was or how humiliating it is that we managed to concede yet we won and I am proud of my team. This ruins my experience. I could mute it yes, but i like to see you who is playing as often they run so fast I cannot keep up. This is their real job, to tell me who is passing to who, who has the ball and who scored. That's all. Without saying awful things that would affect my mental health if I heard it back

Dear Sky Sports Team,

Having just watched the Manchester United vs Liverpool game On sky sports I would like to complain about the punditry. Once again no women represented and this needs to change ASAP. It is a tired format and the misrepresentation is not good for the evolvement of the women's Game. I expect to see a minimum of one woman represented every time I watch a match and I would expect a woman to lead the show 33% of the time. Also please get them into the commentary box, we want to hear their views on the game and their commentary.

Jamie Carragher is not a neutral commentator! He said live on Sky Sports that he wants to be in the Liverpool crowd! When are you going to start calling him out? He spits at a Manchester Utd fan (girl) in the face which is an offence in its self yet keeps his job? Shame on you Sky! By the way why don't you show Arsenals song before any game? Or other clubs ? You only show You Never Walk Alone! Again totally bias, or should we start calling you racist against other clubs?

I'm disgusted to see that Sky Sports allow bullying and passive aggressive behaviour! Graham souness and Jamie Carragher were a disgrace towards Gary Neville today. I am an Arsenal fan and I am disgusted with Skys Liverpool bias! This behaviour could be deemed to be discriminatory against Manchester Utd football club on the basis that there were 2 ex Liverpool players and only 1 ex Manchester Utd player in the studio! It's ironic that Sky are a trail blazer for stamping out discrimination yet you allow this behaviour to go unpunished. Further more your only reporting on your app that Gary Neville called them both jokers.

Paul Di Resta he is make unfounded derogatory comments race after race about Lewis Hamilton. When as a pundit he should be impartial. Has he got problems whit Lewis. I think he should be sacked for his comments especially his view when Max vepaston car mounted Liwes car. He has only driven in 59 races and won nothing.
This complaint most probably get anywhere.

I thought Alison Whitaker had been replaced. No Ryder cup no European tour last few weeks. Only to watch PGA tour last night. If a colleague says anything she just jumps in saying she knows what they mean. Very little original comment because she had no life experience. She try's to talk with authority and seems to put herself on the same skill level as the best in the world. It's irritating. Sometimes saying nothing sufficient. Please replace I don't know anyone who is a fan.

F1's effort to expand its appeal to the US would do itself great favors by getting rid of this guy - he is obnoxious, loud, and has no sense of the level of irritation he causes the viewers.

Dear Sir / Madam

Firstly I want to say thank you for providing fantastic race weekend coverage of the F1 Championship series, as a huge F1 fan I love the amazing coverage you provide. I do however have a massive issue with just thing, commentator David Croft. He is without question the worst motorsport commentator I have ever had the misfortune to listen too, he makes the most ridiculous mistakes, weekly, he says absolutely stupid things and he raises his annoying voice in order to hype events in a race that don't need him doing so. As I mentioned I love the coverage you provide us but it is such a shame that I am now at the point where I watch races without volume in order to not have to hear his incredibly painful voice and stupid remarks. Please promote Paul di Resta, Ted Kravitz, let Martin Brundle take the lead role, but for the sake of all F1 fans globally, remove the microphone from David Crofts hand.

Thank you for your time

Regards

John Westover

I would like to make a complaint about Graeme Souness during the broadcasting of Arsenal Vs Spurs. I found his constant cyclical monologuing to be unbearable and it felt like the experience and insight of the other pundits was either shouted down or wrongly ridiculed. I want to know that he has been informed of his unbearable display tonight. I hope that this can be addressed and that the dynamic is improved so that others have a platform to say their piece. Thank you very much

After enduring the last year of her inane and manic contribution to Sky Golf's commentary team, I've decided to cash in my account and watch paint dry instead, although I am sure Alison Whittaker would have an expert opinion on that too.

I am a proud Aussie but I and everyone I speak to at my golf club here in Canberra realise that this lady is our worst national sporting embarrassment in the modern era.

I get it, you needed to balance the gender question within the team, but while there must be many professional lady commentators out there with the skills and experience from UK or Europe, someone has severely messed up in appointing AW.

Had to turn off the commentary on every golf competition she has covered ☹️ no more, it's gone, as you obviously don't consider opinion of you customers.

Cheers

I find it necessary to finally complain about your Rugby League punditry team of Brian Carney Phil Clark, John Wells. Every week their bias toward Wigan Warriors is embarrassing.
Their open dislike of Leeds Rhinos is also embarrassing.
Twice in the last month Leeds have beaten Wigan at the DW stadium stopping them scoring on both occasions and none of "pundits" gave any credit to the Leeds teams only concentrating on Wigan's short comings
Week on week they scrutinis very Leeds tackle saying the RFL should be taking action against this player or that player.
A compleat change of this punditry trio with a more balanced, none biased team will make the viewing experience for all Rugby League fans more enjoyable. Maybe watching how Fox Sport cover the NRL might also help. As it stands your choice of pundits are doing nothing for the promotion of the sport

Hi,
I am a Liverpool fan and was left discussed by Gary Neville's commentary during the Liverpool vs Leeds United game last Sunday.
Myself along with most people I watch football with generally find his commentary irritating and biased at times. This obviously wouldn't warrant a complaint but during Sundays game he crossed a line. There was an incident during the game where Harvey Elliott suffered a dislocated ankle due to a bad challenge. Neville's comments claiming he didn't think it was a foul were disgusting. It was a clear red card challenge. As a Liverpool fan having to sit there listening to a former Manchester United player claiming its not a foul whilst one of your players is screaming in pain is obviously not a plesent experience. Neville very rarely provides impartial commentary during liverpool games, understandably due to the rivalry between our two clubs. I completely understand that he's a good pundit but if he is put on liverpool games please put another pundit on for balance. I completely understand it probably isn't viabile to remove him from liverpool games completely but I know a lot of people that don't believe he is impartial during our games.
