Sky Disrespect

Post by wewantourdarbyback »

I have never in my life complained to a TV company till today.

However, today is the 10th anniversary of the death of Chris Loftus and Kevin Speight in Turkey at the hands of Galatastary fans. There was a much publicised (by both Leeds United and Yeovil) minutes silence to remember them, along with the Leeds fans turning their back on the match for the first minute.

Sky chose to go back to the studio and talk about the match while the silence was on, with the studio background clearly showing the players with bowed heads in the and the fans standing sill in silence while they chatted away.

As far as I could see they couldn't have been more disrespectful. They chose to show it in the background while talking about the match. I have never felt so angry at a broadcasting corporation.

Agreed, that's disgraceful. :evil:

Also, before the scum match last week (I couldn't be there, had to make do with Radio Northampton), there was minute's applause (for one of their fans I believe). The scum commentator said "I much prefer the minute applause to silence, it means I can keep talking." :shock:

Sky have said they were not made aware of the intended mark of respect

If true, I can understand how a live TV broadcaster could make such an error

Andy Townsend made a GLARING error today on Talksport.

The 'Chunky' Sports Guy Moose was trying to beat the record of 'keepy uppies' in x minutes..... He only did NINE.

Andy then stated "If they had been Pork Pies, he would have done more, then scoffed them (Or words to that effect.

I DON'T THINK SO ANDY...................... The Moose is JEWISH :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: And a Vegetarian! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
