Who Farted? Souness Or Gullit?

Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys was left a funny shade of pink after a verbal attack on Arsenal's Theo Walcott was heard during an online streaming of Tuesday's Champions League coverage.

The 52-year-old face of Sky's football coverage thought his microphone was turned off when he launched a stinging attack on the Gunners' fledgling forward, and his choice of footwear.

At one point when Walcott, who made Arsenal's only goal in a 4-1 mauling at the Nou Camp, went down under a challenge, Keys was heard screaming, 'Get up, you stupid little boy'.

He then added: 'You've been s***e, son, in your daft pink boots - absolute rubbish.'

Keys could first be heard asking those with him in the studio who was responsible for breaking wind.

Sitting alongside twice European Cup winner Ruud Gullit, and Graeme Souness, Keys said: 'Who's farted? It's not me.'

Keys has previous, too. In 2007 during a Scotland match in the Faroe Islands, the commentator was heard on air to say: 'Silly ground, stupid game, f*** off.'

On Wednesday a Sky spokesman said: 'There were no technical issues with the audio on the night.'

I think Gullit, he's the cheekiest of the 3.

his first name is ruud, how obvious could he be.

gullit is way too classy, surely? suspect if it was souey, he would've raised his hand before the others realized - sorry lads, that was one of mine. so naturally, it must haver been keys, by both elimination and the smelt it/dealt it principle.

gullit scruffed and immediately dived to the floor holding his face like he'd been shot imo

Gullit was in an advanced state of discombobulation on one of the Champions League evenings I saw a while back - the extent that I thought he was drunk or stoned or something. It was embarrassing to watch. So I'm going for him. Wouldn't put it past Souey to drop a little Scotch bonnet to keep everyone on their toes, mind.

Remember during Euro 2008 someone on the subs bench farted?

btw I love how Dan shows up on a football thread just because it says "farted" in the title :)

So it was Graeme!

This is easily the second most noteworthy anecdote involving Gramae Souness' anus

He's not nicknamed "The Beast" for nothing

Gray was also heard laying into Walcott on a feed picked up on Dutch television.

According to the Daily Mail, 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."
