Haven't watched it yet though I have to say this news comes as little surprise.

Does anyone actually like the Sky commentary? Usually you’d get a few people saying it’s alright and they don’t mind it but it seems 100% of viewers detest it (fwiw I agree).

Stevo at least used to be a love hate marmite character.
Barrie McDermott offers something a little bit similar, Brian Carney at least has some knowledge of what’s going on. I like Jon Wells but he only seems to do analysis rather than commentary.

Has the bloke been drinking? He's never shut up. What's the boss of Sky Sports called? Barney Francis? Doesn't he realise that Sky, having paid millions for the rights to broadcast Rugby League are then employing this uneducated bloke O'Connor who causes committed RL fans to switch off, never mind the wider Middle England potential audience. Incompetence all round.

The former head of referees is the only person who thinks Philbin and Cahill have banged heads when he clearly went into his shoulder, what is the pillock there for ?

I think it's time for Hemmings to hang up his Mike.

He's been doing for over 20yrs he's now making daft mistakes with players, clubs etc

The others I can tolerate because they only do short pieces.

FFS Eddie trying to turn the accident between Houston and the ref into something.
