Speaking of sky, the treatment of Tyler has been the worst decision ever taken by Sky Sports. Martin Tyler was a very neutral, talented commentator, great to listen to over the years, with a fine blend of knowledge and enthusiasm for the game.
The commentator on Wednesday night, Ian Darke, was frankly shockingly poor. Stick to boxing mate.
He has no real grasp on the game, and appears almost lost in his surroundings.
Which included this cringe worthy moment....
Ian Darke: 'If you cut open Jamie Carragher, he'd bleed red'..
Andy gray: 'Doesn't everyone bleed red'
Morevover, Darke kept getting overly excited at mundane things in the game and chipped in with some bizarre statistics and the wrong moments...
Which included..
'Rafa Benitez shared a few pints with Liverpool fans in a pub in Merseyside recently....
Not only was this comment factually incorrect, it didn't fit in with what he was saying beforehand..
Bring back Tyler.
Anyone agree ?
