Sky Sports' kids stunt at Brentford was a FLOP despite the broadcaster's good intentions. Mercifully, Kelly Cates was in place as the responsible adult stopping the show from descending into chaos

'GOOD luck keeping your jobs,' said 12-year-old Naveed as he strutted past pundits Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards pitchside at the Gtech Community Stadium. 'Good luck keeping your viewers,' thought anyone watching Premier League Juniors on Sky Sports on Monday night.

Naveed was one of four children picked from schools in West London and Merseyside to host Sky's alternative coverage of Brentford's match with Liverpool - a one-off concept dreamed up by the channel for reasons known only to themselves.

Mercifully, Kelly Cates was in place on the pitch as the responsible adult doing her best to stop the broadcast from descending into complete chaos.
