Danny 2,217 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 About time tbh, Sky need someone like Peter Drury. Not necessarily poetic, but just exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,432 Posted June 17, 2023 Administrator Share Posted June 17, 2023 Makes me think they'll get rid of Soccer Saturday, or perhaps reduce the coverage of it, with how many journalists have also been told they can go. Bianca Westwood, Jaydee Dyer, Dickie Davis, Johnny Phillips, Guy Havord were all regulars on Soccer Saturday. Don't mind Tyler leaving. He'd been stale for absolutely ages. Drury would be perfect.

Rick 2,283 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 They got rid of Bianca Westwood? Absolutely unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 2,217 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I’m glad they’re getting rid of Shreeves too, he never asks questions that relate to the tactics behind a game, how it flowed etc, always after a drama filled headline. Sky in general has become really tiring. I think they’re going to lean more down the route of youtubers tbh, which can be fun because its fans watching fans, but you dont go to youtube for football analysis.

Not quite the same, but didn't Sky do that a while back with the fan commentary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly the best option is just to get La Liga TV and listen to Graham Hunter, miles and miles ahead of most pundits we have in the UK. 2 hours ago, Bluebird Hewitt said: Not quite the same, but didn't Sky do that a while back with the fan commentary? They did but I think that was cause it was middle aged men who deliver zero fan engagement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoRoss 800 Posted June 18, 2023 Author Share Posted June 18, 2023 Peter Drury being lined up to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,410 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Best replacement in my opinion. Of those that are gone I'm surprised about Bianca Westwood. She is a pioneer in that field and has really grown in the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoRoss 800 Posted June 18, 2023 Author Share Posted June 18, 2023 Best commentator in the industry. Downside is he might not not be covering European competitions if he has an exclusive deal. Thought with the TNT rebrand, he may be promoted over Darren Fletcher as their main commentator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick 2,283 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 They should try and get McCoist in the door as well. Him and Drury are brilliant together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great shout. McCoist has rarely, if ever, disappointed when on comms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does but they are never going to limit Neville and Carragher's co-coms for the main slots. I actually think if TNT Sports are lining up Laura Woods as the flagship presenter, they should get someone like Jon Champion to do their games with McCoist as co commentary then. These two worked so well together at the World Cup and on Amazon's coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
