    @SkyHelpTeam Yes, they said they were calling about problems with my broadband. Thought he sounded dodgy, so I told him where to go.

  • mikecharlston
    Mike Charlston (@mikecharlston) reported from Witton-le-Wear, England

    @SkyHelpTeam That it would still be affected by the trees. Currently the line of sight in its current location hits the very centre / bulk of the tree. The location I suggested I think at worst would clip some lower branches. I think if mounted low enough it would not hit the tree at all.

    @SkyHelpTeam Can you send an engineer to find out why ( everyday) the main Q box loses signal? Seriously every day! It’s taken 3 hours to get this to reconnect. Surely that’s unacceptable ?

    I have no idea who this speed kid is. But can you imagine in the early 2000’s giving a tit like that air time. He’d be shunned. Never seen again. It’s utterly embarrassing that @SkyFootball are giving him airtime. Even after insulting Man United greats!! #skysports

  • mikecharlston
    Mike Charlston (@mikecharlston) reported from Witton-le-Wear, England

    @SkyHelpTeam We’ve had a call today claiming to be needing to check our broadband for issues we’ve had and they had permission from sky head office. The callers English was very poor & the background was noisy. Does this sound like something which is real or a scam?

    @SkyUK I have recently joined sky mobile but this morning in Newcastle from about 6am I had no service whatsoever. At the time I was attempting to get home after my metro journey was cancelled. In these days of COVID I carry no money and rely on my phone for payment

    Danielle Smith 💙 (@smudge79) reported from Marley Hill, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I have box sets with my package. The issue seems to be that it won’t let me download in SD. Yet have just tried downloading an episode of Will and Grace and it worked fine, in addition to the other episode of Chicago Med I downloaded from season 6. Seems to be a season 5 issue?

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi can you explain why you have put my pensioner mother's bill up by £20 in a pandemic. Bad enough doing this but even worse in a pandemic when she can't have anyone round to visit. She relies on her tv.

  • Hegster1973
    Rich Hegarty (@Hegster1973) reported from Consett, England

    @ADMusgrove @SkySports and @tntsports it's time to stop having co- commentators who played/support one of the clubs playing. The bias is beyond a joke now. I'm sure most of the TV fans will agree

    @SkyHelpTeam customer of nearly 19 years. I’ve moved home, the engineer came out & advised sky q can’t be set up & to get sky stream instead. I’m astonished that new customers can get this for half the price I can and there is no budging on that. I have cancelled my account!

    VAR RECCURING ERRORS: “WHO IS AT FAULT? THE TECHNOLOGY OR PGMOL OFFICIALS?”. I think to unpack this debacle that we have come to normalized as natural occurrence similar to daily human mistakes, errors by PGMOL officials as seen in almost all game week in the EPL, VAR is simply defined as “Video Assisted Referee”. To break this further, it is officiating a football match using technology i.e video replays, images etc to spot obvious and clear errors committed by the on-field human officials usually 4 personnel or actions sanctioned by the rules as fouls that were completely missed by the on-field officials. For VAR to be effective and not seen as in direct conflict or undermining the authorities of the on-field referees, certain parameters of the game state were defined as areas VAR can intervene like DOGSCO, dangerous play, incidents in the penalty box, violent conducts by players and these activities were categorized into 4 major areas i.e goals (and the attacking phase leading to them), penalties (awarded or missed), direct red cards, and mistaken identity. Now that we have defined VAR and clarified the intended use of VAR, how is it possible that a technology deployed to spot clear and obvious errors made by on-field officials somehow end up with recurring errors that lead to controversies, major talking points post-match every week and in most cases deciding the outcome of football matches? I am Arsenal fan so let’s use Arsenal specific VAR incidents as an example. 3 seasons ago at Newcastle, 3 separate incidents and VAR were unable to spot any. One of the incidents was if the ball had crossed the line. Subjective as at that time because VAR had no camera at the corner flag and no spider camera to confirm if the entire ball had crossed the line. Fast track to this season and at Nottingham Forest, a defender clearly used his hand to control the ball from going into corner kick. There was a camera at the corner, and we all saw that deliberate handball. Juxtaposing both incidents, VAR error at Newcastle had been effectively addressed with a camera at the corner at Nottingham Forest but yet outcome was the same. Arsenal this season at Brighton, Arsenal player deliberately holding a Brighton player in the box during an attacking play missed by the referee but no VAR intervention. At Mancity, an Arsenal player engaging in a violent act but was issued a yellow card instead of a red card. Both actions had no VAR error but officials’ wrong interpretation of the Rules and wrong decision. Typically, most OEMs and other manufacturers usually issue a warning and a recall of their products once that notice significant factory defect or recurring manufacturing errors to their products and such products are withdrawn within weeks, months or sometimes within a year. Before doing this, the OEM go through a process of investigation to determine the root cause, issue a notice to their customers and users and proceed to a remedy phase where repairs and replacements are undertaken. The question now is if VAR (technology) is the problem, who are the OEM of EPL VAR and why have no one asked the OEM to undertake this process of stopping this recurring errors? How come none of the media platforms in the UK ever done any kind of hit piece, editorial or investigative journalism on the recurring errors of the technology? Rather, we have an independent panel that review VAR errors, we have a Skysports PGMOL show where the Head of PGMOL do a review of the VAR errors weekly as well as other controversial officiating decisions, we have another Skysports show where ex-referee do a review of VAR good or bad calls, Talksports have similar radio shows, Ex-Referees have podcasts and Youtube Channels talking about VAR errors and we have media platforms doing annual reports like the one done by BBC, The Athletic and now ESPN doing VAR errors and impact on clubs, title races and relegation battles.

    @_SCFCBEN @onlyswanss @SkySports Why not? Could be a good route for us to go down. Knows our club very well. We’ve had some poor sporting directors, but I think he would be a good fit here in that role.

  • precinoti

    @__Mainoo37 @goodbadftblpod Not so much about what I believe or what my expectations for my club are. Every fan of any top team must believe and expects that their club wins the league every season. But Scholes and his buddies are not having these discussions as fans rather as ex- footballers and professional pundits. Their professional opinions are viewed as credible, insightful, critical analysis though sometimes subjective to millions football fans who see them as legends of the game and their POV must be from a subject matter experts with logical perspective. Arteta and Arsenal are the only team in the top 6 ( Liverpool and Mancity have lost their managers and key players) that has been competing for the last 4 seasons, not in any form of transition, semi rebuild or full rebuild process. Winning the league was not a fluke but an outcome of a 5/6 years project broken down in phases. The next phase for the team is to dominate the league, retain their title and win domestic and European titles. That Scholes can start making predictions in June 2 is not only delusional but clownish. He can as well just go to Talksports and Skysports and start doing like some of their clown pundits and say outlandish stuff just to generate revenue.
