  • TedHankyComedy Ted Hanky (@TedHankyComedy) reported

    @SkySports match choice is bloody awful. Filmed using a potato, no replays, one camera angle, crap commentary, audio coverage sounds like a polyphonic ringtone … good job it’s a really cheap subscription cost otherwise I’d be furious …FFS 😡

  • YatesMarriott YatesMarriott (@YatesMarriott) reported

    @SkySportsNews @SkySports Financial stability is guaranteed to those who work towards it. I have given listening ears to his mentoring and I have learnt that if you wanna get rich, don’t save your money, invest it with @JamesAlderson0 and watch how your life would be transformed for the better

  • ItzMullerCorner ItzMullerCorner (@ItzMullerCorner) reported

    @SkyUK … nice red button, when these refunds getting handed out? You’d be quick to cancel someone’s subscription if they didn’t pay, but don’t do anything when something is wrong that we pay for, money grabbers
