    @HLTCO I mean we can blame SkySports but if this kind of fan never existed then they couldn’t put them on. Rgds a fan in his mid 50’s!

    @skyuk why keep advertising live football so many games if no one can watch it on sky sports + it’s terrible

    @SkySports @ScotlandSky Why do we need to listen to Chris Sutton for a Rangers game? Proven to be biased against us. It’s bad enough with Crocker.

    @SkySports its great you have all this live football but if you could show it without it stopping every 2 minutes followed by terrible picture quality tjay would be much better #colu

    @charlieldrv @SkyHelpTeam If you can move to Virgin Media. Never had a problem and always turn out rapid for the few repairs I’ve needed.

    @Leverage_PNL @DeadlineDayLive @SkySports It's not Mikel's fault, it's Bertha's if anybody's! Mikel would have told the club which players he wanted weeks, if not months ago, but he's been let down, and unless we have a spectacular end to the window, we're in trouble!

    The issue is these English companies will look after the English game as Scotland continues to get the crumbs from a product that it contributes millions to . A NATION OF EQUALS APPARENTLY @SkySports @talkSPORT

    @SkySports All crap too. Amazing how many expensive signings are absolute flops

  • PowerBoy__
    therealniceguy🔴⚪️⚫️ (@PowerBoy__) reported

    @Nichol_5 @SkySports I stopped watching sky sports after games unless it's some viral clip, since 2014. They've turned into this sensationalism machine pushing negative narratives for engagement a long time ago and United are their biggest cash cow. It's best to not watch them & let the network die.

    @charlieldrv @SkyHelpTeam The same issue from mine I knew via X that we scored before it was shown on Sky +

    @charlieldrv @SkyHelpTeam 100% this, the game I watched early in the second half kept jumping back to the first half! Constant buffering and poor quality @SkyHelpTeam

    @GeoWordz @cdavison_afc @SkySports 4 years we’ve been hearing this same crap about getting attackers. Honestly bored of it now. The lack of forward signings will 100% bite us in the *** this season. Especially with Martinelli gone

    @AllThingsBlades Who actually cares about this silly stupid stats? He scored a blinder of a last minute winner that’s all you’ll ever remember! Skysports influence for the wrong reason.

    @SkySports All Liverpool had to do was spend this money for Klopp, what a stupid board they got.
