K-Casino Analyzes Ofcom Complaints Over Gary Neville's ...
Ofcom recorded 576 complaints about Neville’s remarks criticizing Martinelli for pushing injured player Bradley during the Arsenal-Liverpool match, the highest for any program that week.
Ofcom received 6 complaints after Neville's comments during Sky Sports' coverage of Arsenal v Liverpool last Thursday, criticizing Martinelli's conduct toward Bradley.
While co-commentating, Gary Neville said 'You can't push him off the pitch' and said he didn't know how Liverpool players didn't 'whack' Gabriel Martinelli during the match.
The weekly audience report for January 6 to 12 shows Ofcom's weekly audience report logged the complaints as the highest for the period and noted no other programme received more than 50 complaints.
As a result of the incident, Martinelli apologised post-match, and Conor Bradley has since had surgery ruling him out for the domestic campaign.
During live coverage, Neville called the incident 'absolutely disgraceful' as Bradley was stretchered off with a serious knee injury at the Emirates.
