SKY SPORTS reporter Keith Downie found himself embroiled in an online row with Mark Golbridge after being trolled by the football personality.
Downie ended up being involved in a shock social media spat with the YouTuber after reporting news of Newcastle United’s bid for Benjamin Sesko .
Golbridge ignited the row by delegitimising Downie’s reporting on a live stream.
He said: “I can’t see anything about a Newcastle bid. Is it Fabrizio Romano ? Is it David Ornstein?
“Oh, it’s Keith from Sky Sports. Oh, Keith. Keith from Sky Sports . Good old Keith from Sky Sports, never heard of him.”
“He added: “If you had told me it was Keith and Amar, I would’ve been like, ‘Oh my God.’ I actually don’t care.
“I really don’t care for Sky Sports and their updates. Imagine believing Sky Sports, says Daniel. Exactly. It ain’t 2017.”
Golbridge’s dig soon came to the attention of respected veteran reporter Downie, who laughed it off.
After being tagged in a video of Golbridge’s rant on X, Downie wrote with a laughing emoji: “Class, cos I don’t know who he is either — thankfully.”
After being told Golbridge has a “larger platform”, Downie replied: “He should probably be a bit more careful with the rubbish he spouts then.”

Golbridge appeared to take exception to Downie’s calls for him to be “careful” what he puts out into the internet.
The 46-year-old replied: “You literally work for Sky lol.”
Downie hit back at Golbridge – real name Brent Di Cesare – by writing: “LOLLLLLLLLLLL. What is this, 2017?”
His retort received over 1800 likes in comparison to Golbridge’s 142.
Scores of Downie’s followers couldn’t help but comment on his “cooking” of Golbridge.
One wrote: “STANDARD KEITH W.”
Another said: “DUNKED ON.”
And another said: “Ignore him, Keith. The real Man United fans don’t want anything to do with him.”
One remarked: “Big Keith dunking all over Goldbridge.”
Another chimed in: “Pahahahshahaa Goldbrige getting cooked hahahahaha.”
