bennett Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Suttons fake arguments with Craigen on BT were horrendous, him and Boyd together are going to be nauseating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Sutton is actually capable when he just talks about football, but he’s chosen his path as professional wind up merchant along with Boyd so it’ll just be absolute toilet tv. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he covered SPFL for BT then he actually knew his stuff about the teams that were being covered and didn’t treat it like an old firm/England sideshow like most of the Sky pundits. Him and Boyd up against each other will be tedious though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggie_Murray7 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I don't actually mind Sutton. Behind all his obvious wind-up tactics, he at least knows most of the teams in the league. However, Kris Boyd likes to think he knows the rest of the teams, but we all know he's there for one team. If you stuck Sky Sports on without having any idea who James McFadden is, you'd be excused for thinking they had dragged a clueless punter in off the streets for the job. He adds f**k all. His "analysis" is fucking woeful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 They will be hoping that Sutton and Boyd copy the Neville and Carragher fake bickering act. It'll do good numbers on social media and create plenty of clickbait articles titled like "Sky viewers in shock as Sutton slates Gers hero!" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His "analysis" is fucking woeful. You might not like it, but i appreciate being told whether or not a striker "should be hitting the target" from a couple of yards out. These people aren't chosen because they are informative, knowledgeable or insightful. They are chosen because they are as knowledgeable and insightful as the average sky punter (lifelong Man U fan, Maidenhead, drinks Carling) and help the viewer feel good about their low level of understanding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Only in Scotland would adding a sellic-minded pundit to balance the staunch pundit be billed as a "revamp". There are lots of revamps needed to Sky's coverage as everyone knows - adding Chris Sutton to get some better fake arguments going probably wasn't part of anyone's list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I'd just like to point out that Chris Sutton once put Kris Boyd in his team of the week for his winner for Kilmarnock one time and spoke of how well he played in the game. Kris Boyd never played. Scott Boyd scored the winner. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Will never forget his on air apology to Celtic after Neil Lennon had a hissy fit about him. Absolutely terrified of losing his Celtic pundit status. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Walker is by some distance the worst thing about Sky Sports' coverage, it is absolutely fantastic news that he is gone. Sutton isn't perfect, but he is miles ahead of Walker in that he actually tries to analyse the game and has a lot more knowledge in general. Crocker next please. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thenorthernlight Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 The fact they have the “shock jocks” of Boyd & Sutton as pundits shows you what Sky think of “Scottish” football, it’s purely to appeal to the lowest common denominator of the Glasgow two, that’s patently obvious. And it’s exactly why I told Sky to poke it up their hole ages ago. IPTV all the way & fcuk Sky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
