Former Sky Sports commentator Bryn Law has accused his former employer of showing excessive bias towards Liverpool during their Premier League clash with Brentford. Law, who spent 21 years at Sky before joining Leeds United's LUTV in 2019, took to social media to criticise the coverage, calling it 'LFCTV'.
Sunday's match at Anfield saw Liverpool win 2-0, with goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah. However, Law pointed out that the broadcast team included only individuals associated with Liverpool: co-commentator Jamie Carragher, studio guest Jamie Redknapp, and presenter Kelly Cates, daughter of Anfield legend Kenny Dalglish. The only other guest, Izzy Christiansen, had no connection to Brentford.
Law argued that Sky should have included a former Brentford player or coach to provide balance. 'It's not difficult these days... loads of ex-players and managers knocking about who have done lots of media work,' he wrote. He also noted that a significant portion of the earlier Bournemouth vs Newcastle coverage was dedicated to Liverpool, including a segment filmed inside the Anfield dressing room and an interview with Reds boss Arne Slot.
The 55-year-old suggested that if Sky were unwilling to maintain neutrality, they should offer team-specific coverage via the red button, allowing them to 'go full big club with impunity'. Another guest, Izzy Christiansen, is a former Everton, Birmingham City and Manchester City player, with no connection to Brentford.
