Lee Dixon could commentate on a bank robbery, a UFO landing and a T-Rex riding a unicycle at the same time and still sound like he's describing a rainy Tuesday afternoon trip to pick up his dog’s ashes.

The difference between sports coverage by Sky Sports is so stark. For Football it is the most rage baiting, triggering nonsense.

For Cricket it is the best coverage anywhere and I would argue it is the best sports coverage in all the sports we show in the UK.

[Richard @gamray]

why does every video these days have to begin with the arty shot of the person coming in and sitting down

[Andy Sykes @AndyJSykes]

Anyone bored of all this yet?

#AI

[Jack Walsh @LinnetsTVJack]

Someone take AI away from these non league sides 🤮

Just pure laziness, whip something up on canva, it'll look 1 million times better and more original.

There's plenty of volunteers who will do you a decent match poster free of charge.

It's getting embarrassing.

[Mark Tonge @mwtonge]

Is this whole AI ruining media in non league football? All I keep seeing is the same generic stuff and it looks awful!

Appreciate, time is precious and it's hard to find people to do it, but come on, a bit of originality please!

Don’t mind paying £39 but what I do mind is paying £6.75 per ticket in fees.

Smaller promoter, granted, but this open rip-off of music fans is getting ludicrous

[Doves @dovesmusicblog]

Tickets are on sale now for our shows at the Glasgow Barrowland on Sept 17th and Blackpool Winter Gardens on Sept 18th. We are looking forward to playing at these two iconic venues.

Hull City should’ve been relegated to League One, based on xG.

They’ll be playing in the Premier League next season.

Strap yourself in for the usual…

‘I cannot believe X has been picked ahead of X. Tuckle (sic) is clueless’

….from Twitter ranters.

Salah will be furious all this attention has been taken away from him

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Dan Burn ahead of Harry Maguire is absolutely baffling. On grounds of form, experience, leadership, penalty-taking. Baffling.

[Andy Sykes @AndyJSykes]

Like this from a national broadcaster ⤵️⤵️

[Catherine Warr @HiddenYorkshire]

not the point really but the creeping use of "could of" instead of "could have" in quasi-official social media statements is a shocking decline in popular literacy

[Luke Edwards @LukeEdwardsTele]

Southampton told Dom to show some respect. They showed Middlesbrough none. They tried to belittle a journalist for asking a question they didn’t want to answer. They lost on both fronts

[Matt Salmons @matt_salmons10]

I’m delighted to share I’ve started a new role as Social Media Manager for @ntfc.

I can’t wait to bring some new ideas in, building on the behind the scenes content we produced for Chris Hogg’s arrival this week! 🤩

Excited for challenge ahead, up the Cobblers! 🙌

[Andy Sykes @AndyJSykes]

Really good episode this - Smithies comes across as really humble and considered.

🗣️ "He'd be on the touchline shouting LINDA!" 🤣

When Ian Holloway made the QPR players watch Coach Carter in training!

From day one your ambition was clear - AND you were willing to put the graft in.

Fantastic work ethic and deserving of this first step on the ladder.

Well done Ernie lad

(P.s. get a proper haircut now?)

[Ernie Bratherton @BrathertonE15]

Season 1 in football ✅

Over 30 million views across the board which is really pleasing and shows the hard work and best practise we’ve put into place has really worked 🫡

A bit of down time now before a big life change coming up but I’m excited for what the future holds 💙

[Andy Sykes @AndyJSykes]

Every single word of this 👏 ⤵️

[Josh Bland @JoshBland13]

Some immediate thoughts on the fallout from spygate.

Why I believe Southampton's comeuppance is a moment to savour in a modern footballing landscape governed by cynicism and individualism.

The refusal to accept refereeing decisions + the normalisation of ref blaming is why we ended up with VAR. There are still numerous decisions where people use being “baffled” often due to not knowing the laws as an excuse to blame + abuse referees

[Twe12thman Boro🇦🇹 @Twe12thman]

"Are you a cheat?" asked @DomShawEcho
"Show some respect" replied the @SouthamptonFC press officer.

He knew. He knew what they had done and yet told a respected journalist to show some respect. Shameful.
