JEFF STELLING has sensationally blasted Sky Sports' coverage of the pitch invasion which occurred at Reading.
The Royals League One clash against Port Vale was stopped by officials after a mass pitch invasion took place inside the Select Car Leasing Stadium.
Fans poured onto the pitch in protest against the clubs ownership and refused to leave the field of play, forcing the game to be abandoned.
However, fans were critical of Sky's Soccer Saturday coverage at the ground after host Simon Thomas described the protests as "tennis balls on the pitch".
Soccer Saturday legend Stelling then took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and blasted his former employers Saturday afternoon coverage.

Stelling said: "When a club which was in PL not long ago is in the position they are in this the biggest story of the day imo (in my opinion).
"Why [is there] no reporter there? Everyone knew there was going to be a protest!"
One user called Stelling out for being a former employee "who left but still wants a say in how things are done".
However, Stelling replied: "I am not Andy. I am a member of the public with a right to express an opinion."
SunSport have approached Sky for comment.
