Geoff Shreeves was forced to apologise on behalf of Sky Sports after a libellous comment about Morrissey was aired during the live broadcast of Sunday Supplement.

Excerpt:

With presenter Shreeves and his four-man panel of reporters live streaming from home, the comment was heard at the start of the show.

A conversation was heard between members of the panel, before a libellous comment about the iconic frontman of The Smiths was heard.

The show continued, but following its first advertisement break, Shreeves apologised for the comments made by the Telegraph’s chief football writer, Sam Wallace.

Shreeves said: "At the start of this of this program a brief private conversation was unintentionally broadcast. It was not meant for broadcast and any conversation does not reflect the views of Sky Sports."

Fat gay vegan who said no one would turn up to the recent gigs yeah

It was broadcast=published, therefore libel.

 

[Gordon]

There's not a single thing about Morrissey's world to be jealous of.

Why are you on his fan site then?

Who is on your fan site?

They did not apologise or retract the statement. Merely said it was not official sky views. Well, duh!

I am intersted to know who or what has "cancelled" MOrrissey.

Also how thick does the speaker hav eto be to think Moz has just been "revealed to be a racist"

 

[Bluebirds]

Should be grateful that he got a mention on Sky Sports. I wonder if the conversation came about cos of Geoff Shreeves rather fantastic pompadour?

I think there's a nasty trill in the air...

You’re just jealous that you’re not on the payroll.

Yeah but he is on the Gayroll of Gary Glitter..."Do you wanna be in my gang...aaahhh!"

 

[Synonymous]

Most surprising thing about this, in current circumstances, is that someone was actually watching Sky Sports in order to notice.

 

[carlislebaz]

I requested moz to say, announce, or to say something controversial, the other day, he didn’t, and wouldn’t do so at my childish request..... but here we are, I actually put sky sports on this afternoon, the first thing I seen was a presenter , apologise for something, I thought, what was this, then moved to another channel....., You done it moz , without moving your gob, oh could I be you one day....VIVA MORRISSEY....

 

[Famous when dead]

More incredible insight from Fiona, I'm sure she's expecting the $25 wire transfer from Sam any minute now.

Just re-tweeted by Official Twitter.
I guess Sam has the password back

Correct. But this is what the permanently outraged do (left wing and right wing): 'Here, look! I am offended by this thing. I must show you the thing to demonstrate how outraged I am.'

It never once occurs to them that very few people would've seen it and they've just spread it around.

 

[bhops]

Yeah, because he pays most of them.

Or ex lovers like Mike Joyce, right thicko?

Public in blinkers.
Not cancelled because of his entire public in blinkers.
The man's a c***.

 

[Synonymous]

Pretty sure Morrissey actually is cancelled. I mean, whenever you see his name on a poster, it usually also says "cancelled".

 

[marred]

This is the main reason I can't see this going any further. Imagine a judge ruling that it's legally OK to call him a racist. He may as well go and live in a bunker, what's left of any career he has would be finished.

Well you'll have to cream your pants another way then.

 

[Raphael Lambach]

Morrissey will never be cancelled.
This cancelation culture is bizarre. Wasn't Morrissey right about Chinese?
