Sky Sports under fire for "anti Liverpool FC bias"

[Skillz]

My biggest problem with pundits is the peddling of an agenda to back up their stories
Such as Torres for instance they constantly criticise Rafa for not playing him enough early on in the season, if I remember rightly he was rested for Portsmouth and Birmingham

His other absences were through injury

Its the same thing with rotation they have a pop at Rafa saying rotation doesnt work but they fail to realise that Ferguson does it as much as Rafa does

Its lazy journalism / punditry - if you have an opinion at least research it so see if it has any merits

It is a ****ing joke. "research" is a dirty word if you work for Murdoch, IMO.

[The Erectile Banana]

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.

Well said Matt.



I feel the same way.

Some people react to every little thing Gray says. It's at the stage where it has become tiresome. Yes he's a Bitter, but he's by no means the worst offender out there.

[Redspin]

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.

Fancy you taking a negative stance on an issue that concerns many Liverpool fans - and what a coincidence that you side with what you see as a Manc stance on the subject

[Jazzmaster]

Yeah **** it, whats the point in getting wound up by the biased pundits. It will be all the sweeter watching then squirm when we win the league (not this year obviously).

The thing that irks most people about Andy Gray is that he is not just a pundit - he is the main co-commentator and analyst for Sky.

If he was just another pundit like the Soccer Saturday crew it would be fine for him to show his true feelings every now and then, like Thommo does.

However, Andy Gray is the 'face' of Sky Sports football coverage and he should be more balanced.

Having said all that, he doesn't bother me too much with his views and comments. I love it when he has to be complementary (albeit begrudgingly) when we play well.

Not majorly, but taking the trouble to write a letter is, IMO, an example of self-pitying nonsense.

And this is why you were so HATED on ****-talk. Arguing that no-one has the right to tell another red they shouldnt read the S**.
stop winding people up on here who genuinly believe Sky Snot News has an agenda agaisnt our club. They ****ing have had an agenda, right from when Andy Grey AND Richard "the smug, ****ing hairy cunt" Keys were installed as "Pundits". That is a fact and we the people have a right to complain and it is NOT whinging nor is it "Self pity" it is a stance against an organisation that repeatadly slates another TOP premiership club yet lords up other so-called Big 4 teams like they were the best teams in Europe.
Little fact here - How many English clubs have been in two Champions league finals since the prem started? I'll give you a hint, it is the club you supposed to support.
Do Sky lord us up? Do they ****. United have been in ONE and apparantly they are not only favourites to get to the final but also favourites to win it. Same as Chelsea who have consistantly been dumped out of semi and quarter finals yet they are "one of europes finest" HAHAHAHA.
United were made to look like amatuers last year at the San Siro yet sky say they will win it.
**** Sky Snot News, I watch it for the football and comedy value of Grey and Keys and I can 150% understand why people will complain because these idiots go on too much. You expect it from Grey - being a blue****e - but Keys is the biggest ****** of the two.
So wind your neck in DJS before you become as hated as Grey and Keys and people start making complaints to get you off these boards.

[Jazzmaster]

Whoa easy there tiger. The tone of your letter contradicts the point you are trying to get across i.e. that everyone's view point has a right to be heard. Therefore, DJS' view is just as welcome on here as anyone elses notwithstanding that you or I might not agree with it.

Debate is required, not personal attacks.

I don't have a problem with individual pundits having a pop (especially if they are well informed and not just regurgitating the usual bollocks). In Sky's case the bull**** is constant, as though it is some sort of editorial policy. When was the last time anyone on Sky gave a reasonable and considered analysis of LFC or an LFC match. On that basis, I think complaints are entirely reasonable

Have you watched Outfoxed?
Its a documentary on Fox News and believe me, they are the same way. You mention a Kennedy and they go off on one like a red rag to a bull. Same with the Clintons. Its an Editorial policy. Outfoxed had all the proof with memos and **** and I bet you all of Abramovichs money Sky Sports has the same Editorial policy.
And guess who owns Fox News? Yes you guessed right - Rupert Murdoch.

was a joke about his weight by the way, not a personal attack. Should have put a next to it.
