Sky Sports under fire for "anti Liverpool FC bias"

[Fiddy]

I have just cancelled my subscription to Sky.

And in a further protest against Gray's henchmen, I have shaved my arms and hands, stopped gambling and drug-taking, got an inch lopped off my nose and stopped stating the bleedin' obvious!

The revoultion begins here!

If you've got Sky broadband, dont forget to unplug your router now as well

£20,000 a week!!!!!!!! WTF

**** off V you're posting all the things I want to... Not fair...

[Fan65]

I agree - him & Tyler make Sky Sports what it is. It's entertaining even if he is a bit of a **** sometimes, and who can watch Stevie's goal against Olympiacos without his accompanying commentary?!

"3 - 0 Game well and truly over"

Enjoyed that one as well eh ?

He's a poor commentator in my opinion, great in hindsight but then aren't we all.

His was particulalry poor during the Inter game and did appear to be biased. I tried hard to ignore his inane comments but it's almost impossible.

I would rather he didn't cover Liverpool games as there are far better commentators out there.

As for writing in to complain, good luck to anyone who did, it's a free country isn't it.

[Skillz]

LOL. If Gray goes over the top with his bitterness in his commentary he will be criticised, letters will be sent. Why, because we have millions upon millions of supporters. Every forum i visit has a thread about it.

So why would anyone criticise another red for writing a letter of complaint. Let's be honest those of you who find it "cringeworthy" are only pissed off because it made the news.

It's a nothing story and not really worthy of debate IMO. Each to their own.

You do realise that next time Gray commentates on us, he's probably going to be so over-the-top nice to us..."and that's a beautiful 5 yard pass from Alonso to Gerrard"..."Carragher gracefully boots the ball down field, finding the opposition keeper with unerring accuracy befitting of a Liverpool player"..."Gerrard unleashes an exquisite shot from 30 yards that would have tested the keeper if it had been on target"...

After The City v Spurs game yesterday during his "The Last Word" show Keys asked him about our form and he said we are playing well now because Rafa is picking his 5 best players all the time now Reina, Carra, Masch, Stevie and Torres.

He pointed out our defensive errors against Reading and how similar it was to the scum goal we conceded at Anfield and something Rafa will have to look at.

He then went on to show some of Torres' goals and said how he seems to glide over the pitch and that he had everything needed to be a genuine real superstar, the world is his oyster and will always be Rafa's best signing.

besides the normal crap they spout about Torres being left out too much early in the season etc.. he seemed quite "nice" about us...or at least about Torres.

'Benitez is a talented and lucky manager but I think he's more luck than talent and thats a winning formula'

What a cock. He is a so bitter when Liverpool play in the Champions League. He was loving it when we lost to Marseille at home. 'Good pass there from (french bloke)'

I think everyone is wound up because Sky is seen as the primary channel for Premiership and Gray doing the majority of games is seen as the main pundit and as main pundit people think he is the best pundit in the world and knows a lot about football. Well he doesn't. I couldn't stop laughing when he kept and calling Leighton Baines, Barnes until Tyler told him it was Baines Hes lack of football knowledge of the lower leagues and European teams is unbelievable. For some reason, I'd rather listen to David Pleat.

I am planning on watching the repeat. I will report back the findings

get a life you sad tw*ts (not you guys, the one's who've spent the time writing a complaint to Sky)

edit....oops, just read some of the follow up mails....they're still sad though

[Helios Creed]

this has got to be a wind-up - The Fiver (The Guardian's teatime footie email) has been doing a running joke based on Liverpool fans' accusations of a "London-centric media anti-Liverpool bias" for ages..

[Joe King]

Andy Gray seemed rather complimentary of Liverpool and especially Torres on the Last Word. Probably got a boot up the jacksie from the London lot.

[Craig_H]

I noticed that too.

However, it's impossible to not compliment Nando Torres.
