Why did Richard Keys give the Ryder Cup score after the Chelsea Arsenal game?
I've never been so annoyed at Sky. They have both sport events and thye just gave the score out of the game that I'm taping on their other channel!
tried to find a contact email to complain but cannot be found on sky.com - funny that!
can't get out of my sky hd subscription but have typed letter to explain I will at least cancel my broadband. Am now lokoing for a suitable provider before I ask for my MAC address.
Absolutely unforgivable from SKY - totally ruined my watching of today's sessions in the ryder cup that I was just about to watch the culmination of.
You love the RC so much you were watching the football !!!!!!
What an overreaction !
And they say nurses have it tough !!!!!Thanks to MSE I cleared £37k of debt in five years and I was lucky enough to meet Martin to thank him personally.0 -
I tend to agree with the OP. For a golf fan it is a big deal, and it was VERY unprofessional of sky to read out the scores.
It reminds me when ITV always used to flash the premier league scores on News at 10 without warning as BBC were just about to start the highlights show on BBC1. Gits they were!!!!0 -
They gave out scores a few times, once during the Diaby injury and another time.
You could have watched it split screen if it meant so much to you.0 -
thanks for your support.
the ryder cup is a massively imoportant thing in my sporting calendar that happens once every two years.
Sky have paid millions for the rights of both these competitions. why on earth would they be so incompetent in giving the score away of a competition that's on another of their channels????
it's not a threat re leaving sky by the way - it's the only way I can 'complain' by taking money out of their pockets
if everyone was like this and just accepted their incompetence then they would get away with this time after time. yes, in the scheme of things they will still make millions no matter what I do, I understand that.
and sorry, I thought this was a 'vent' post thread - so I shouldn't even vent my anger on here?
If it was that important to you you would have been there watching it live.

Well why were you watching the bloody football if your such an avid golf fan?
i was pleased they let me know what was happening.."If you no longer go for a gap, you are no longer a racing driver" - Ayrton Senna0 -
I would suggest that watching a Sky Sports channel while trying to avoid information about what's happening on another Sky Sports channel might not have been your cleverest idea.
I'm not even sure Keys made a mistake in reading out the scores tbh.0 -
If you wanted to see both the footy but the Ryder Cup was so important why didn't you watch the Ryder Cup coverage then watch one of the many replays of the football or even Match Of The Day on BBC later in the evening. You could have tried to avoid the match score ready for MOTD like the Likely Lads did in the 70's

Don't be disheartened by the response OP. Threads like this are like gold dust in the Vents forum especially on a Sunday when there's only boring golf on the telly. Everybody feels compelled to join in the fun with the consequence that people like youself get ripped to bits.
Hang around on MSE, wait for the inevitable 'I was tortured by security guards at Comet am I entitled to compensation' thread and enjoy the entertainment along with the rest of us.0 -

You don't get out much do you? Watch out that your teddy doesn't hit something when you throw it out of your pram :rotfl:0
