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."

LMAO. . . . . .

Even commentators are in on the action.

What say youz lot??

I have always hated these two especially Andy Gray. It is annoying watching Andy Gray handle a Liverpool game. the fool is always partial when commentating.

this latest news shows how bleeped up and unprofessional he is.

I understand your grouse but we forget that these people are first of all human.

Just because they are seen on TV and seem to take on impartial stance when running commentaries on English/British teams does not mean that is actually how they feel.

Just like you and I these guys are fans of some other teams.
They also have their best/preferred players. They loathe other players with a passion just like you and I.

I could imagine someone like Jamie Redknapp swears alot and labels players all sorts.
His only saving grace is he has not been caught.

Personally, I think they should be fired but i don't see that happeneing.

yes they are human but that act was not professional.
