Overt bias is killing Sky Sports’ Premier League coverage

Jamie Carragher has faced renewed calls to stop commentating on Liverpool games following his latest bout of verbal diarrhoea.

According to the former Reds defender, Ibrahima Konate should not have been dismissed against Wolverhampton Wanderers yesterday.

The comments were the latest in a long line of biased views delivered by Carragher when Liverpool are playing.

Sky must revamp their punditry line-up

Carragher has plenty of previous form for being unable to hide his bias when talking about Liverpool on Sky Sports.

His general tone would be more suited to the club’s own media channels rather than a platform which charges sizeable subscription fees to its customers.

Konate could have received three yellow cards in the first half at Anfield, yet Carragher failed to call it straight down the middle.

Sky Sports is not LFCTV, and fans shouldn’t be subjected to Carragher’s overtly biased nonsense during Liverpool games.

There are plenty of other pundits in the industry who don’t have Liverpool connections. Let’s have them on board rather than Liverpool’s biggest cheerleader.
