Oh the main commentator was a local (work wise) guy for sure . He knew so much guff about Swansea players and the commentary was very biased indeed. I presumed Sky was using Swansea’s ifollow
I still preferred them to don Goodman or Andy hinchcliffe
Think I heard that useless tw4t Hinchcliffe on a Premier League game on Sunday: the bloke has stolen a living for years with his ‘this is what they should have done’ retrospective insight.

Oh god yes. That and his refusal to admit he got it wrong first time round. He'll double down despite us seeing his mistake with our own eyes on the replay (which he sees too).
In brighter news good to see Jamie Mackie promoted to the Champions League Sky Sports panel. Talks a lot less waffle than Clinton Morrison.
I've found venting on here about poor commentators and co-comms a cathartic release.
Incessantly talking rubbish and shoehorning their preprepared facts, figures, and jokes seems to be the norm with many commentators. And because of the sheer quantity of games covered, the TV companies, just need to fill the seat as it were.
However, it's the inane and pointless inputs of the co-comms that utterly steam my urine, and if you've watched women's football, the co-comms are miles worse. If I had a wish, it would be to attach electrodes to the genitals of co-comms and every time they use the word 'quality' they get a sting, increasing in severity the more they use the word.
It's why we've literally been blessed by the Gods with Tyler. While I still think he doesn't need a co-comm, Sints does add something to our coverage.

My god they were awful. Kept second guessing every comment they made. ooh maybe it was, ooh maybe it wasn't. The red card was a red, yes Cook makes a meal of it but you can't do that plus the bloke dived to try and win a penalty - they were seriously asking if it should be a pen! Should have overlaid the pictures with Sints and Tyler. Great to have Andy back!
I streamed it via....., don't know who the commentary was supplied by, quite possibly Swansea's in-house team. Anyway, the bloke was determined Saito had scored our goal, even saying 'and here's the goalscorer Saito on the ball' about 15 minutes later. Magnificent.
Meanwhile in Belgium the commentator was excellent and rather than wanting to shoot the co-commentator, I want to put him on a pedestal. Brilliantly biased but fair. Welcome back Andy.
Watched the Sky highlights, assuming it was the same commentator as the full match most of his comments were "how has he missed that??", "what has happened here??".
I mean if he's there in the stadium and can't tell with his own eyes, then we're fooked.

I'm in Somerset 130 miles away from Swansea and I was probably nearer the ground than the commentators were.
