The game was halted due to a mass protest against the club's owner Dai Yongge, forcing officials to abandon it. Stelling, a Soccer Saturday legend, was vocal about Sky's coverage, criticising host Simon Thomas' description of the protests as 'tennis balls on the pitch.' The 68-year-old left Sky Sports after more than 25 years and joined talkSPORT for morning coverage starting in December.
