Video: Richard Keys swears on live television


Anchorman drops the F-bomb on our antipodean friends

While preparing a link for Sky Sports’ Australian equivalent Fox Sports, clean cut commentator Richard Keys done a very naughty word. Unfortunately for him, his faux-pas was broadcast live to our laid back colonial subjects.

Interestingly, I had the exact same blasphemous reaction when I first noticed how hairy his hands were. I’m glad he waxed them, I’m getting an HD TV soon…

Video: Phil Thompson reacts to Riise’s own goal


Sky Sports pundit fails to retain composure on live television

Mad props to the crazy kids at Pies for spotting Thommo’s reaction to Riise’s late own goal last night. Obviously unaware that he was partaking in a live broadcast, the ex-Liverpool defender was in his default ‘down the boozer’ mode, and started shouting like he had just sunk a fiver playing Hangman on the quiz machine.

If this is the level of professionalism tolerated at Sky, Ian Wright should get his CV down there pronto.
