Sky Sports commentator criticised by viewers for reaction to stunner from Cardiff’s Ollie Tanner

A Sky Sports commentator has been criticised by viewers for his reaction to a stunner from Cardiff’s Ollie Tanner against Bristol City.

Ollie Tanner produced an extraordinary goal which caught many people’s attention with footage doing te rounds on social media.

But it seems fans were disappointed with the commentator, saying there was a lack of enthusiasm and excitement from him for what was a well worked and a screamer of a goal. Judge for yourself below, do a comparison for both Cardiff and Bristol City’s goal, does the criticism from viewers seem fair?

As mentioned, Ollie Tanner’s screamer put the struggling Bluebirds ahead in the Severnside derby, but Luke McNally managed to salvage a point for Liam Manning’s Robins.

The result sees Bristol City sitting 16th in the Championship table, with 11 points from9 games played, while Cardiff remain bottom with 5 points from same amount of games played.

Bristol City: O’Leary, Tanner, Vyner, McNally, Pring (McCrorie 18′), Williams, Knight (C), Hirakawa (Sykes 55′), Mehmeti (Bird 55′), Twine (Earthy 84′), Armstrong (Mayulu 55′).

Subs: Bajic, Naismith, Wells, McGuane.

Cardiff City: Alnwick, Ng, Goutas, Chambers, Bagan, Ralls (Rinomhota, 77′), Robertson (Siopis 84′), Colwill, Tanner (Kanga 77′), El Ghazi (Daland 66′), Robinson (O’Dowda 66′).

Subs: Horvath, Turnbull, Willock, Méïté.

Bristol City’s Liam Manning said per Sky Sports: “We started the game well and again have created a lot of chances without taking enough of them.

“Over the nine Championship games we have played this season, I am pretty happy. We have only been beaten twice, but we have drawn too many and need to address that.

“I wasn’t pleased with the way we started the second half, but again the lads have shown great togetherness and character to fight back when things have gone against them.

“The injury to Cam Pring did not result from anything intentional. First and foremost, our thoughts are with him and I am waiting to hear more on how serious it is.

“It looked pretty bad and Cam has gone to hospital. It is an injury to his lower leg, but we are not sure yet whether it is a break.

“It was a great header from Luke McNally and not a bad game to get his first goal for us in.”

Cardiff caretaker Omer Riza: “We have taken four points from six and can only view that as a positive moving forward.

“I think it is plain to see a difference to when I took over and that I can lead a team by being professional in all I do. I have worked hard for this opportunity and, of course, I want the job.

“I know I am ready to become a head coach. Whether it is at Cardiff or not remains to be seen. There are no immediate plans to talk to the board, but I am sure they will want to speak to me about this game.

“Ollie Tanner has scored a beautiful goal and the players are deflated in the dressing room because we had the result in the palm of our hand.”
