Keys was involved in controversy while presenting The Faroe Islands against Scotland in a Euro 2008 qualifier on
6 June 2007 on Sky Sports. Shortly before closing the programme when he thought he was off-air he said "Nay promos, can't be arsed, that’s it, see ya. Come on. Yeah see ya. Daft little ground, silly game, fuck off." The feed was broadcast on the Sky High Definition channel. Sky apologized, noting that Keys was at the end of a six-hour shift and was directing his comments towards the Faroe Islands' "quirky" stadium inToftir rather than Scottish football. Keys retained his position at Sky Sports.
