Tim Duckworth (@TimDuckworth7) reported from Bury, EnglandCan people who support lower league clubs stop bitching about how #SkySports are focussing on multi-million £ transfers, when many clubs face going to the wall, whilst paying £X PM subscription to watch said transfer activity. It’s hypocritical and you’re embarrassing yourselves
-
K e r r i (@KerryM811) reported from Horwich, England@SkyHelpTeam I’m struggling to connect to my home wifi. When it does connect its okay for a while then it drops off. This is happening numerous times a day. When I run tests it says everything’s okay. I’m paying a lot and not getting the service I signed up for - please help!

Terri Green (@happy21378321) reported from Adlington, EnglandWho’d have thought, absolutely disgusting customer support from @SkyUK paying a fortune for a package that is NOT delivering in any way. Spoke to a lovely girl named April her attitude definitely does not explain why she opted for a customer services role! DONT BUY SKY!!!!

Patrick Wan (@pwanandonly) reported from Horwich, England@SkyHelpTeam any idea how long this broadband outage will be? I will need my connection back by tomorrow morning as I will be working from home.
-
Todd Cunliffe (@01SixOne) reported from Bolton, England@SkyHelpTeam It wasn’t the case though was it he wasn’t dealing with anything else he simply was either being rude or got pre occupied elsewhere. As the advisor I spoke to on the phone was honest enough to tell me. His words were there was no reason to leave me on hold for that amount of time
-
Rob Hardman (@RJ_Hardman) reported from Bolton, England@_DC72 @SkyHelpTeam Had the same problem. Managed to get through to talk to someone on 0333 759 0627 to downgrade TV package
-
Steven Jones (@SteveJones80) reported from Horwich, EnglandIn context I have no idea how much talent is on the pitch at #UTDCITY (anyone care to put it in £‘s?) but I’d rather watch @OfficialBWFC any day. Turned that game off at half time it was that bad and that’s meant to be the ‘pinnacle’ of the Premier League. garbage @SkySports

Joe (@AviatorJoe94) reported from Bolton, England@SkyUK How can you charge a set up fee for something that’s installed by the customer? You’re affectively charging them for their own time 🙄
-
Beth Southern 🇪🇺 (@Bethan_Southern) reported from Bury, England@SkyHelpTeam No idea what my landline number is and don’t need to actually be told there’s an outage when there clearly is. You need to update your customers who have lost pay today.

KAY_EBI🐐⚖️ (@GOATEDKAYKENNY) reported@SkySportsNews @Modheemofficial This is now their stupid brainless narrative? Nothing else to run with, the @Arsenal juice dried up Skysports? Disgusting bums 🤧
-
jeanluc nsa (@NsanzaberaJeanl) reported@justcfc @SkyKaveh @SkySports One of the problem is people saying such bullshits but biggest is owners believing it. Chelsea winning is not related to buying Deadwoods like Garnacho Mudryk and Gittens Delap…. The problem is stupid decision makers and advisers
-
Real Legit LFC (@Real_LegitLFC) reported@SkySports English media are terrible. They stop talking about Rashford, Jude Bellingham, Trent A Arnold since they left England to Spain. But today, they are concentrating on Mbappe. It seems this attack on the French man is orchestrated?

Aaron Convey (@AaronConvey1) reportedBefore SkySports came in to show games behind a paywall RTE showed 31 games live out approximately 55-50 games. In 2014, Sky Sports took over TV3 coverage of between 8-10 exclusive games and increased it to 20 games a season while having 14 exclusive games behind a paywall. In 2022, SkySports either lost the rights or didn’t go back in to renew their rights. This opened the opportunity for RTE to take over the rights but they didn’t. instead GAAGO took them over. In the two years of GAAGo, they showed 38 games exclusively. That’s 7 more games than RTE showed on Free to Air television. In 2025, GAAGO was rebranded to GAA+. And again they went on to show 2 more exclusive games while RTE continued to show 31 games on Free to Air television. Now in 2026, RTE have upped their games to 35 shown on free to air TV while GAA+ is now showing 40 exclusive games. Since they ‘paywall’ has been introduced when sky sports started showing GAA games RTE have stagnated in increasing their coverage of the games. RTE have gone from showing roughly 50% of championship games in 2013 to roughly 29% in 2026. RTE in 2013 showing 31 out of 60 games. RTE in 2026 showing 35 out of approx 120. The issue lies within RTE not GAA+. If it wasn’t for GAA+ we wouldn’t see around 35% of all the championship games. The only argument anyone can have is if your county is repeatedly on GAA+. Other than that we are so lucky that we are in a generation that we have so much additional access to view games.

Technica Enterprise 🇺🇲 (@technicaent) reported@SkySports aren't your sportscasters supposed to be factual? It sucks to see an El Classico with a caster who only speaks praises of one team.. tiring, actually.
