It's amazing Tyler is still going. I'm 50 now, and yet I remember him reporting from the United hotel before the 76 cup final. I was 6

The Bruno remark was very clumsy. The rest is just typical sound byte chasing and hoping for exciting moments. Every teams support seem to think Tyler hates them.
A wind up of City fans.
We beat city and you lot moan about Tyler. Keep up the good work.
he said bringing on a player built like Frank Bruno he was obviously talking about Ighalo.
Yes..taking off a bruno..and bringing on a player built like (frank) bruno.
It's word play.
He should have retired.It's amazing Tyler is still going. I'm 50 now, and yet I remember him reporting from the United hotel before the 76 cup final. I was 6
yes but how is Ighalo built like Frank Bruno? there nothing similar about them
Hes built nothing like him. Its simply because hes black. Thats all it can be
Pretty sure he’s a gooner if anything (the OTT Wiltord rebound goal being good evidence). Pretty sure he wrote a book about them. He goes with the Sky narrative of having games be as theatrical as possible.
Undoubtedly he’ll claim the Woking card as media figures for some reason don’t like be seen as supporters of the bigger clubs, like how Adrian Durham swears he’s a Peterborough fan despite spending 80% of his show talking about Arsenal or Chick Young totally being a St Mirren fan and not at all a Rangers fan.

Yup thought that alright.
Comments like these ruin lives and careers.
Dodgy ? Get a fecking grip! A pun is now seen as dodgy
It's a throwaway comment based on name. Ighalo has a bit of muscle to him, obviously not heavy weight boxer thing.
But the important thing is clamping down on actual prejudice, not trying to stir stuff up from nothing.
And that’s a problem for some it seems

People are always keen to find racism and discrimination everywhere. All it does is get in the way of stopping actual cases of either.
Just as a matter of interest, and I’m a poster who respects your posts, what do you think is the problem here? Please explain why it offends you so
So you would rather listen to Arlo on the usa feed?
Can they though, really?
Wow, are people seriously suggesting there was a hint of racism about Tyler's frank bruno remark?!
I'm going to sound like a boomer, but feck me its PC gone mad!!!

Neville either got the humour or it went over his head. Or he's just saying stuff to look good when it suits him. Clearly was not intended to be a racist comment, why are you even complaining?
Lazy trope? How many times do other footballers who aren't black get compared to people of their own race? Loads of times. Also, "beast" every footballer with talent is called a beast. EVERYONE. Also those that show a lot of strength, and it is not just limited to black players. Seriously, you lot are just seeing race everywhere.
It was strange but he was just trying to say he has a big build, which he undoubtably does, with a typical commentator play on words.
Feel like some here can't stand any coverage that doesn't actively favour us. Nothing to see here IMO.
And yet they moan incessantly about MUTV as well.
To be honest I can't stand MUTV and it's borderline propaganda, but I solved the problem by just not watching it.
If you don't think it's that bad I think that reflects more on you tbh.
At the time I thought it was a bit weird, but he only said Frank Bruno because we were taking off Bruno at the time. It was supposed to be one of his "clever" play on words but it ended up sounding strange. Nothing racist about it, though.
Agree, he did try to pain this picture of a late equaliser and even winner from City.
Best commentator ever. PL will be weird when he retires. Still miss his partnership with Gray.
Only for Boxing. For footy, he's awful.
You obviously never experienced Barry Davies. Honestly, it's not even close.
Technically, Gray was a summariser rather than a commentator
Also Clive Tyldesley and Peter Drury >>>>
Rob Palmer and Kevin Keatings were wasted on laliga. They are miles ahead of Tyler...
I doubt he was being clever, or racist, he doesn't have intelligence. It was the comment of an ignoramus.
it's an exaggeration but it's obvious what he was meaning (and Iglaho is bigger than Bruno Fernandes). him being black has nothing to do with it, as others said, it's just word play.
Don't understand all the hate.
He does get overly dramatic sometimes and tries to paint a narrative to keep things interesting, and provoke talking points well after a match has finished and is successful at doing this - but he's also created some of the most iconic commentary pieces over the years and is synonymous with sport broadcasting around the world.

I just wish we had the option to silence the commentators, period. Or barring that, you could select which commentator to listen to with the match, one who rambles or one who just talks about the game happening right in front of them. Arlo, LeSaux, Dixon just won't shut up.
I listen to them for the derby, much prefer them to Gary Im not biased Neville.
