Sky Sports News forced into extensive apology after broadcasting x-rated interview with Everton legend Peter Reid, even though it was pre-recorded!
Sky Sports have been forced to apologise after broadcasting Everton legend Peter Reid dropping the ‘f’ bomb during a pre-recorded tribute show to Goodison Park.
The club’s former midfielder and captain was recalling James Tarkowski’s dramatic late goal to salvage a draw in the final Merseyside derby to be played at the stadium before it closes at the end of this season.
Tarkowski’s thundering late strike was subject to a VAR check. ‘Someone said you had two chances (to celebrate),’ said Reid, in the Goodbye Goodison show on Sky Sports News.
‘You could celebrate there and then four minutes later you had the celebration. I said: “Yes, but what about the f***ing three heart attacks I had in-between?!
‘I’m sorry about my French!’
Within minutes a message reading: ‘We apologise for any bad language broadcast’ appeared on the yellow ticker.
