FOOTBALL fans have been left fuming by Sky Sports' coverage of Wrexham during their Carabao Cup clash with Wigan.
The Red Dragons advanced to the next round of the competition after overcoming the League One side on penalties on Tuesday evening.
However, the penalty shootout was the most exciting part of the game as the League Two newcomers played out a drab 0-0 before full-time.
It was the club's debut on Sky Sports, having usually featured on BT Sport during their time in the National League.
The club's coverage has increased massively since its high-profile takeover by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds, 46, and Rob McElhenney.
But fans have now claimed that the broadcaster is "obsessed" with the Welsh club.

One fed-up viewer commented: "Sky are so obsessed with Wrexham it's frustrating to watch."
A second wrote: "You'll be surprised to know the rest of the lower league football world still exists and we don't care about Wrexham."
A third said: "Nobody cares about Wrexham other than a few thousand Wrexham fans. Just because they have Hollywoodland owners doesn't mean we need constant coverage!"
A fourth joked: "Wrexham getting a disproportionate amount of attention, well I never."

Another fan even joked that Sky Sports have switched their apparent focus on showing Leeds matches to the lower league side.
They added: "Sky Sports Leeds appears to have changed its name to Sky Sports Wrexham for the night."
Wrexham have enjoyed huge success since their takeover by Reynolds and McElhenney, also 46, returning to the EFL following their lengthy lay-off after storming to the National League title last season.
It has been a remarkable turnaround at the club since the arrival of the Hollywood duo three years ago.
The pair have revitalised Wrexham and the surrounding area and produced a documentary on Disney+ showcasing their work at the club.
Reynolds and McElhenney's actions have seen them named the "best owners in football" by fans online.
