Agreed. I watched the game back and was amazed with the amount of praise we got, after reading this thread. The commentary team - perfectly reasonably - enjoy games that have a close finish and that are in doubt right up to the hooter. Grix's try virtually sealed the result, that was the reason I felt Eddie shouted ohh no. Sky give us loads of praise all the time - but even when they don't - so what?

Yet funnily enough almost every Liverpool and Man City fan I know is convinced United are the media darlings. This of course changes when you speak to United or Everton fans who are convinced Liverpool are the team that Sky adores. By no coincidence whatsoever both Liverpool and Man United fans seem to be convinced in equal measure that they are the ones that are hated the most.
There's absolutely nothing in it, just as there's absolutely nothing in this, other than people seeing what they want to see, blinded by their own loyalties.
The real idiots are the people who pay Rupert Murdoch £25ish a month for a Sky Sports "product" that is freely available online then get worked up about the opinions of those whose wages they are voluntarily helping to pay.

| I think the fact they do us down is hilarious - we've gatecrashed the party, overtaken their beloved Saints, put plenty of noses out of joint along the way and done it with verve, audacity, skill, honesty, hard work and a hint of arrogance borne out of sheer ability.
Given SKY is in the entertainment business, viewers being entertained keeps the SL SKY team in a job and Wires are entertainment-personified they should be lauding us to the rooftops as evidence of what a wonderful game we have. If they are too short-sighted and brimming with resentment to see it, well tough - reach for the blood pressure pills or take up yoga Eddie, we kind of like this success lark thank-you.

| I agree that not having opportunity to blow smoke up the ass of Stains anymore, must really wind some of the Sky (and BBC) team up.
The bias shown to those bunch of ##### during they're heyday was sickening.

| I bet if you go on the Saints forum and ask them what they think of Sky's RL team they will say they are anti-Saints and pro-Wigan. The Wigan forum will say the opposite. If you go on any forum and ask those who watched last night if Sky were anti-Warrington they will not agree with you.
It's just daft. As I say, people see what they want to see.

| One that gets to me is the grief that Phil Clarke gets. If you listen to him, he is the one who gives us the most praise. Ok he does have a wigan bias but he doesn't deserve half the grief he gets at our home games. It makes me cringe every time he is given the abuse he gets.
Also after reading on here about the commentary i watched the match back expecting some real Huddersfield bias.....there wasn't ! Fuss about nothing.....

The real idiots are those oh-so-trendy rebels who steal the product online, thus depriving the teams they supposedly support of the cash that Sky give them to basically keep them in existence.... cock

The problem is, Hemmings is NOT a commentator, he is a studio presenter - I just found the 'Oh no!!' moment laughable and embarrassing, simply because it made the sport sound amateur in what was one of the biggest games of the year.... Any neutrals must have wondered what the hell was going on for the commentator to get so partisan.
For all his many detractors and obvious faults, you would never have got Ray French resorting to such OTT rhetoric - Sometimes these guys have to realise they are there to commentate on the action and not try to force their nonsense opinions all over the game - Stevo's constant criticisms of the officials are quite ironic, as we, as a sport, always try to make out that the relationship between Players and officials is so respectful, yet that buffoon shows little for any of them.
