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

We settled down to watch a much anticipated sporting experience to find it spoilt by continuous interruptions showing replay after replay. Then replays of replays. Then replays of replays of replays. Then tactical replays after tactical replay. It was a bloody nightmare. Do you not think rugby fans are capable of understanding what it going on.
Have the producers forgotten that there is actually a game going on which people may be interested in. All the non action moments in a match are as important to a fan as the main action. This gives people the whole feel of the match atmosphere instead of having to watch something they have, again and again and again. It get frustrating and tiresome.

Can you please ask this commentator to cut down on his verbal diarrhoea when commentating on an incident. He goes on and on and because of this the match has moved on and several minutes have been missed.

Just a short summing up would be ideal.

Why does the Sky advert for the women's 6 nations concentrate solely on the England team - have you forgotten you have subscribers in other 6 nation countries ? Will the coverage be similarly biased ?

The coverage is being ruined by the sound effects picking up mindless singing and chanting. Please stop this. Also the endless shots of gormless /drunk spectators is tasteless and embarrassing.

Andy Walker is a totally biased against Rangers commentator, his comment about Kris boyd loving the abuse and said he was really sad about the abuse Dave Clarke received is inexplicable, so its ok to abuse boyd but not Clarke, get a grip Walker, if you are going to condemn shouldnt it be the same for everyone

I am a big fan of Jeff Stelling. But he was most unprofessional with his comment on Gillette Soccer Special this afternoon when he described Swansea's goal at Portman Road v. Ipswich Town as a ‘who cares goal'. It was also unfair on the home team. Please apologise Jeff.

Why is Gary Neville doing the commentary on the Manchester derby. He is a dye hard Manchester United player . His commentary is biased and you would think he is a manager of Manchester United. He should be impartial and he is not
I don't support any of them I just love football.

Why is there no tennis on sky sports, I think I will discontinue sky sports. BT sports seem to have the monopoly
On the tennis so maybe I will change to them.

World Cup opening match in 2019 and no female opening commentators. This doesn't set an up to date view for my 10 yr old daughter who loves cricket.

Garry Woodland`s round yesterday (friday) 65 was two shots better than the rest of the field! when young Enoch from Wales recorded a 66! only ONE behind and that achievement should have perhaps been Mentioned!

Surely its not beyond the ability of technicians to SUPPRESS THE RIDICULOUS AMERICAN VOCALS when watching Sky US OPEN GOLF.
We have had enough of the yelling etc. of the American [censored]ted noise which surely can be stopped so we do not have to tolerate ( in the hole"

Why are there advents every 10 minutes on the US golf coverage? It is absolutely ruining the enjoyment of watching one of the biggest golf tournaments of the year.

Can you please provide a lot more actual golf play, rather than a lot of discussions and ads. If not, I will have to reconsider my subscription. You do not constantly interrupt a football or rugby match with ads, so why golf! It's getting unbearable!

Currently watching SA vs Afghanistan on the red button Saturday 15.06.19 - 13:40 - technical issue means we are hearing your production team chuntering on in the background the whole time. Beyond irritating and extremely distracting. I am not clear how Sky can be so unaware of the lack of quality of their output.

Why do Sky insist on having foreign commentators who are clearly biased in favour of their own country ?
Even when we are watching an England game we can at any one point have a New Zealander and Australia and an Indian commentating and they all seem to be all so anti-English.
Doesn't really make sense for an English audience and is very annoying.

Plane circles for no golfing reason. Environmentally irresponsible (pollution / noise) and annoying to large area of countryside. I find it annoying and intrusive as a spectator and the players must be distracted. The need is apparently visual relief from the golf! Still pictures would suffice and if not a silent drone would be ample technology.

In the 8:30pm segment on July 24th 2019 the female reporter reported on the transfer of Pedro Obiang and was unable to pronounce either the players name or the club he was moving too properly.This was unprofessional to say the least.

Can you explain why Celtic 7-0 win over st.johnstone highlights weren't shown during the build up to the kilmarnock vs rangers game and all the other fixtures goals and chances of the rest of the league on Saturday the 3rd of August were shown?
Comes across very bias and pro rangers absolutely shocking coverage!

I think it would beneficial for most of the uk who watch premiership football to have commentators who have a neutral accent.
Listening to local accents, especially if it is not your own local area is really irritating & annoying.
Can you please keep neutral

We were going to buy sky sports today, switched on to sky sports news and saw a lady talking/presenting, I understand equality, but, as a woman brought up on football it's so off putting, so not buying today, ladies for lady football, men for men's football, !
