Richard Keys and Andy Gray caught out...

    Sky Sports presenters Richard Keys and Andy Gray got caught out live on air after a technical glitch meant some of their comments were heard during a match.


    Veteran anchor Keys and chief analyst Gray were reportedly heard talking over some feeds of Arsenal's 4-1 defeat in Barcelona on Tuesday criticising Gunners winger Theo Walcott, with Keys also joking about someone's flatulence in the studio.

    England international Walcott helped create the opening goal, but had an otherwise disappointing performance at the Camp Nou.

    At one point during the match, the 21-year-old went to ground, Keys was heard to say on an online stream of the match: "Get up, you stupid little boy.

    "You've been s***e, son, in your daft pink boots - absolute rubbish."

    Later on, former TV-am presenter Keys asked studio pundits Graeme Souness and Ruud Gullit: "Who's farted? It's not me."

    Gray was also heard laying into Walcott on a feed picked up on Dutch television.

    The former Everton, Wolves and Aston Villa striker said: "That Walcott's s***e, isn't he?"

    With Lionel Messi's sensational first-half hat-trick ending the tie as a contest, Gray's attentions turned to half-time refreshments, and he was also heard asking: "Is someone going to get the teas on?"

    A Sky spokesman denied the incidents, saying: "There were no technical issues with the audio on the night.

    "On Sky coverage no conversations could be heard behind the live match commentary, and we did not supply any feeds to outside broadcasters. Richard has no reaction."

    I'd rather hear them talk like that in the real commentary than the shíte they usually come out with.

    "That Walcott's s***e, isn't he?" - I didn't watch the game but that's probably a far more accurate description of Walcott than whatever they actually said about him on air.

    So they are actual real ppl, not cardboard cutouts then..... Hardly surprising that they go on like everyone else is it? Who was it who made racist comments recently?

    Doesn't surprise me. Keys has a history of this thing with that stuff he said before one of Scotland's matches. Unlike Lineker, Chiles, Stubbs, Bill O' etc. and other station presenters I think Keys comes across totally disingenuous and rather unpleasant. Much prefer Stelling to be Sky's main host than that guy.

    Not as bad as that Jim White pr*ck.

    Ever since Keys and Redknapp laughed at Samir Nasri when he was praying at half-time on his debut, I've had no time for him.

    In this case, he's probably right. But still.

    Yeah I'd say he's a fun guy to sit down and have a drink with. Especially if he brings Rachel Riley with him. :cool:

    Ever since he laughed at me for eating haggis, I've had no time for him :mad:

    I was just about to say the same thing. Watching football on sky with the 2 of those twats really makes it so painful. Obviously they won't, as even if it did happen it isn't really news, but it would cheer me up no end.

    Why would they get the sack? It's not as though they called him a 'lazy n*****'.

    Walcott is s**te though and I cannot understand the hype about him so I couldn't blame them. He is basically a faster version of Jermaine Pennant (but possibly even more useless).

    The upside would be no more Final Word and missing the 1st half of Spanish games in the pub.

    But they're the one's who have CREATED the hype about him - so why not blame them?

    Was it not Peter Pantless that started the hype about him?

    Yes true, was a few years ago in Cardiff for the FA Cup semi final, was staying in the same hotel as the Sky Sports team, anyway was getting breakfast and Richard Keys and some other sky sports guys were in front of me, I was dishing up a good bit of haggis( beautiful stuff) and Richard Keys turned to me and said what's that!! he didn't seem to know what haggis was, so explained to him, he started laughing but more in are you mad for eating that way(you needed to be there really :P)

    On a side note, Alan Smith, Paul Walsh and Sir Bobby, were well well sound, no sign of Andy Gray though.
