[Football] Sky commentators bias towards top clubs

[flint]

Just watched Leicester v Man City and commentators whinging about penalty awarded to Leicester.
Don’t care who wins but Walker as we know capable of hiding his fouls
What can be done to stop Sky thinking the make the rules

Money.

Support the big team, keep a higher percentage of their worldwide audience happy.

Well, I’m effing FURIOUS. Seconds away from winning £2.77 on my accumulator, now nothing thanks to that cheating, diving *******. I’m totally with the Sky pundits.

No penalty for me therefore no bias on this occasion

Vardy misses his penalty so Manchester City win. Very lucky.

If it had happened an hour ago fans might have made the last train. Oops!

Didn't look a penalty to me

Never a pen. No bias at all in the commentary of that match. Pro-Leicester if anything.

odd thread

I am a bleeding heart socialist (allegedly) but this anti top six whinginginging is a bit unnecessessessary in my view, A bit excessessessive, under the circumstances.

I would love to see the stats on how many of the top 6 teams players get match bans for too many bookings. Not many is my guess?
Thinking of an incident in the Liverpool game - Bruno booked for professional foul (correct decision) - 5 minutes later very similar incident happens up there end - we get the free kick but no booking . Then there is the obvious Lukaku Bong fiasco.
It is all about protecting the product for Sky and BT.

I do think that there is a general bias towards bigger teams, but on this occasion... it wasn't a penalty. Awful decision from the referee.

This.

Media desparate for big club failure.

Largely agree but when Iheanacho went through Claudio Bravo the pundit (Not sure who it was) said it was never a booking when it was a yellow card at the very least. You do wonder what game they're watching sometimes.

Looks like you got utterly conned by the dive.
