Wilkin

Am I the only person who feels compelled to turn the volume down as soon as he starts spouting shite?

He’s a pain in the backside.
How the heck he got that job god knows.
He’s the most bias commentator, when saints are playing I want to vomit.
Last night he was unbelievable how bias he was.
It nearly kills him to say nowt good about Saints opposition.
It was so blatantly obvious last night.
GET RID SKY.

corrected your last words mate

GET RID OF SKY.

I dont think there is a decent presenter/pundit/commentator on the whole of Sky sports.
Clarke is more biased than Wilkin ,
JJB has a mouth full of gobstoppers,
even our own Wells has a degree in bulls**t

The presenters/pundits/commentators on Premier sport are much better, apart from Price obviously

pirate even if you can understand JJB he talks a pile of the proverbial

As well as Wilkin, I believe Sky have also poached Kyle Amor who, for me, is about as good as we get.

I didn't actually mind Danny Maguire on our Leeds game as he seemed fairly balanced despite his overwhelming connections to the Whinos.

the problem for me is that they just talk all the way through the game, i just wish they would shut up now & again👿

yorky I'm sure I've seen/read somewhere that one of the old sports commentators advisors that for TV, speaking less is more.

The viewer can see what is actually happening and therefore doesn't need a radio style running commentary. The famous Ken Wolstenholme world cup final piece is a good example. He didn't describe every bit of play, he summed up the action and sentiment.

One of my mates recommended a podcast with Jenna Brooks.
I looked at Mr Wilkin is the other contributor, which renders it inaccessible to me I am afraid.

Each to their own, I long since adopted watching all sport with no sound, other than cricket. Particularly with boxing I find that the lack of hyperbolic nonsense enhances my enjoyment and means I tend to find I have less problem with decisions.

mdean with you all the way mate
