Ref Watch: 27/10/25

This is the 1st time I have sat down and watched live the new
format with Jay Bothroyd and Co, I've never watched a greater
load of rubbish in my life. If I was Dermot I'd tell SKY to do
one and leave them because Bothroyd has to be the most clueless
pundit I've ever heard from. He doesn't take anything on board
that Dermot says and seems to just want to argue with whatever
he says. I had to turn off after half an hour as it was so
painful!
I'd make a list of the issues I had with what was discussed, but
I'd literally be here for most of the morning.

I’ve never really been bothered to watch this segment live
although I have seen clips of this from last season with Stephen
Warnock and Sue Smith which I thought was sometimes pretty
decent. For those who did watch this last season, is it better
or worse now?

It’s got less juicy this season imo !!! They need to push the
boundaries a bit more ! Similar to way things are done in Spain
with referee appointments / discussions

I watched it regularly last season. However, after a few early
episodes featuring Jay Boothroyd, I gave up and I don't watch it
anymore. I agree that he's clueless (and I'd add ignorant) as a
so-called pundit. I hoped so much that Steve Warnock was just on
holiday and Jay Boothroyd was a temporary substitute. However,
when it became apparent that he was a replacement, I stopped
watching it.

Agreed stopped watching it after the first week. Bring back the
original four, although Rob seems to have left Sky.

Rob and Stephen have both left sky so there's no chance of even
getting the original format with a new host back. I'd say bin it
off because it's rubbish and other broadcasters should see if
they can get as close to recreating it as possible because it's
clear Sky won't.

They should get Hackett on there… that’ll fire up the football
pundits!

I must admit that I have only watched it twice this season but
last season I regularly watched it. That sums it up really. I
prefer pundits that know the LOTG before applying their view as
a player.
