Hull v Sheff Weds on Sky Sports 2 now (1 Viewer)

Anyone else watching?

Just caught the last 10 mins and have to say I am not at all happy about the insensitivity of the Sky commentator.


Basically, the Hull keeper dropped the ball from a corner and an on rushing Sheff Weds forward bundled the ball into the net, kicking the keeper in the head in the process.

The keeper lay prostrate on the goal line for 9 mins 40 secs and was surrounded by at least 6 medical staff, including doctors etc. Put in a neck brace and taken off on a stretcher.

So what did the commentator do? Show concern? Nope. Just kept talking about the keeper being at fault for the goal and also for the first goal and how Sheff Weds could well now win and what Hull had to do to get back into the game etc. Basically chatting away for at least 6 or 7 mins and showed no compassion or concern at all at any point for the Hull keeper, who was obviously very seriously hurt.

The game stopped for 11 mins.

You would have expected the entire time to be talk of concern etc. or at least be constantly referred to rather than just keep talking about the error and how he was at fault etc. To just carry on as if nothing had happened was in very poor taste.

Game still going. Now in 101st minute.

Nope.

He started talking about it after about 10 mins, but just seemed to totally ignore it for the first 7 or 8 at least.

The keeper hardly moved and was obviously really badly injured, yet the commentator merely talked about how he was at fault for the goal.

That was a foul, the keeper had it in two hands and their attacker kicked it out of his hands.

Ball was already over the line though and therefore it was a goal and play was dead.

Would have been a clear foul otherwise for sure. Definite booking too.

Steve Bruce has just said he is not in a good state. Either his jaw or eye socket.

Yes, he held his face, but he didn't move a single inch for 10 full minutes and lay completely still.

It should. Agree.

Do you also have 6 medical staff around you while you're 'performing?'
