Sky Sports under fire for "anti Liverpool FC bias"

[Rafa Shankly]

It was indeed.

Theres plenty of ex-Liverpool players working in the media, probably more than any other club and most of them are pro-Liverpool. Fact of the matter is, Gray is Sky's chief pundit and he happens to be a bitter. I think we should be adult enough to handle a little bit of negativity. After all, Hansen and Lawrenson are the main men on the Beeb and I've not heard any mancs or Evertonians threaten to stop paying their tv licenses.

I wonder how many of those people in the article will actually pull the plug on their Sky subscription when Sky take no notice.

im not taking a view on this.

but theres a difference in being pro one team and anti one team.

ive no problem with ex pros being biased towards their former team,i like seeing that infact.

i could be wrong but i dont think any of our ex players who are now commentating are anti any team.

thats the difference.

Speaking of Lawro, anyone hear what he said in the week as Veira was being subbed?

Something along of the lines of: "they used to say Momo Sissoko was the new Veira, well it looks like Veira is the new Momo Sissoko"

Lawro makes me laugh sometimes. He called everyone who uses the BBC player rater 'geeks'

To be fair to Andy Gray, for an ex-blue****e he has gave us a few good "take a booh san" and the famous "You BAUTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYY".
To be honest, its that ****in ape, cockney, dumb **** ex gmtv presenter Richard ****IN Keys that gets on my tits. If there was ever an anti liverpool presenter, commentator whatever you wanna call em, its that ****ing idiot. Did you see Soueys face the other day when Keys was ripping into us, he looked like he was gonna give Keys a Glasgow kiss. Wasnt him that said without Gerrard and Torres goals we would be 10th or 11th in the league? He can find the brains to figure that one but cant find the brains to figure that without Gay Boy Ronaldo's 22 goals and Rooneys 9, United would be in a similar position. What ****ing idiots Sky have on their books, but we still watch it. Its like watching a car crash at times, you know you shoudlnt watch it, and it makes you feel dirty and grubby, but you JUST have to take a peek just to get some weird kick out of it. Human nature I suppose.

What an absolutely embarrassing and cringeworthy situation. Just awful.

I seem to remember Andy gray going of his head when Gerrard scored the winner against olympiacos. Not defending him like just thought it should be viewed from both sides.

Belive it was OH YOU BEAUTY

I still, to this day, believe he thought that shot was going wide.

eh?

Do you not think its a bit......sad that people are actually moaning about commentary on a football programme?

[kopdan]

plus I'm not on my own according to some other replies.

They on a wind up too?

Just stick me on ignore

I don't like Andy Gray but I find this kind of protest a bit embarassing. Does nothing to counter the stereotype that we're a city which revels in feeling sorry for ourselves.

Spot on. More self pitying bollocks. People need to get a life. Writing letters to complain, feck's sake. Get a hobby. Utterly embarrassing. The mancs will be pissing themselves over this.

On the subject of anti-LFC bias, I was watching Gillette Soccer Saturday yesterday and Torres' winner was clearly greeted by a groan and "Oh No" by Matt Le Tissier. All other goals generated a cheer, some jubilation, or "It's IN!!"!!

So what? They're not robots, they're people. If they dont want us to win, who cares?
