Agreed, I don't mind him either. There are far worse out there, having to listen to Leon Osman was painful the other day.I think VAR has also contributed to the lack of conviction in commentary in general. You risk embarrassment if you go over the top on a goal only to see it chalked off by VAR. I think it's a combination of this and Tyler's age that has lead to a dulling of commentary on goals.
All in all he's still one of the better commentators on Sky. His depth of knowledge and understanding of context is very strong which imo is more important than the ability to raise his voice for a goal.
This wouldn’t explain every time he does it for goals that are clearly not offside.I think VAR has also contributed to the lack of conviction in commentary in general.

It’s funny because Liverpool fans say the opposite. He goes by narrative rather than club. Remember him screaming YESSS when Martial scored on is debut against Liverpool?Tyler is useless.
He absolutely hates Utd and kisses Liverpool's arse so if Keown is ripping into him, I say good on him.
MeWhen Martin Tyler does retire, who replaces him?
I think you are expecting too much of him. The commentators first job isn‘t really to inform us. He works for Sky. Sky is a big stakeholder. They need the PL games promoted. They can’t afford people turning away from the product. So he is actually more of an advertiser…That's a weird analogy.
Probably Giggsy till the end of the season.When Martin Tyler does retire, who replaces him?
Exactly. A large chunk of the Liverpool fan channels believe he absolutely hates them even scoring a goal. At this point I’m not sure which club he portrays to like anymore.Just shows it’s all in people’s heads. Arsenal fans think he hates them, as does Liverpool fans, yet you look on here and people are convinced he loves those teams. Bless.
He is factually past it though, he just isn’t good at the job anymore.
Keown is an absolute dick and as biased towards the gunners as it gets, so his criticism holds very little sway.

1. VAR doesn't just rule out goals for standard offsides, but also offsides in the build up or other infringements that can't be seen on first viewing.This wouldn’t explain every time he does it for goals that are clearly not offside.
Plus the Brighton opener wasn’t close to being off and nobody was asking for it.
You have to ignore VAR offsides and act as if it’s a goal before it’s checked, apparently the commentators gets the VAR feed and they can see seconds after the goal is scored if it’s close or not. It’s why you always get Carragher and Neville saying it might be chalked off as a team is celebrating.
I’d like to ask you what aspect comes from his depth of of knowledge that applies to commentating on a game? Especially if he never played the game?

That's quite a meltdown. Have pundits given up any pretense of neutrality? Keown acting like a disgruntled fanboy is quite embarrasing.
Yes. Years ago. Rightly or wrongly, I don't think broadcast companies give a rats about neutrality and impartiality nowadays.That's quite a meltdown. Have pundits given up any pretense of neutrality? Keown acting like a disgruntled fanboy is quite embarrasing.
On Sky, you have the likes of Carragher, Neville and Keane who have their obvious affiliations but are never so blatantly biased. Ian Wright referring to Arsenal as "we" is ridiculous to the next level.Yes. Years ago. Rightly or wrongly, I don't think broadcast companies give a rats about neutrality and impartiality nowadays.
He does though, just like every other football fan who doesn't support the Scousers.Exactly. A large chunk of the Liverpool fan channels believe he absolutely hates them even scoring a goal. At this point I’m not sure which club he portrays to like anymore.
Is he allowed to do that?Instead of going off on Martin Tyler, Keown should be focusing on City and how they're run.
Probably a huge no-no publicly slagging off a fellow commentator it feels massively unprofessional
He's the complete opposite of Tyler in that HE ALWAYS RAISES HIS VOICE whenever there is even a sniff OF A CHANCE. After a while it really does get ON MY NERVES.Darren Fletcher
I think he was just holding in a coughI mean he's 77, fair play to him for continuing his passion and travelling up and down the country.
I am amazed Sky haven't ousted him though, he's well past his best, he can barely talk on the latest Neville podcast thing.
Carragher never got that memo either, he called Rio a clown on tv.Probably a huge no-no publicly slagging off a fellow commentator it feels massively unprofessional
He gobbed at a child. Untouchable. I guess what got him off was he didn't smash anyone's back doors in...Carragher never got that memo either, he called Rio a clown on tv.
