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."

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."

Sunday's briefing: Eddie Howe frustrated by Isak saga as Wilson joins Hammers
Speculation over the future of Alexander Isak at Newcastle rumbles on, while West Ham have signed former Magpies striker Callum Wilson. In Scotland, the William Hill Premiership is under way. Howe frustrated by Isak saga Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has admitted the situation surrounding unsettled striker Alexander Isak is 'far from ideal'. The Magpies rejected a £110million bid for the Sweden international on Friday from Liverpool, who recently beat them to the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt frontman Hugo Ekitike. The 25-year-old did not travel to Asia for Newcastle's pre-season tour due to what the club called a 'minor thigh injury', only for talk of his unhappiness to emerge. Howe said: 'I don't really know what is going to happen next. The situation is far from ideal and it is quite complex.' Newcastle, meanwhile, have signed Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale on a season-long loan with an option to buy and reportedly made a £65.4m bid for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. Wilson joins Hammers West Ham have signed Callum Wilson on a one-year contract following his release by Newcastle. The 33-year-old former Bournemouth striker scored 49 goals in 130 appearances in five years for the Magpies. Wilson said: 'I'm excited to be joining a massive football club like West Ham.' Holloway angered by fan behaviour Swindon boss Ian Holloway said he was 'absolutely disgusted' after a fan allegedly threw part of a seat at rival goalkeeper Myles Roberts in a tense 2-1 defeat at 10-man Walsall. The flashpoint occurred in stoppage time, shortly after Connor Barrett scored what proved the winner for the 10-man Saddlers in the Sky Bet League Two opener. Holloway added: 'Whoever you are, you should be ashamed of yourself. I am going to hunt you down and find you.' Opening day frustration for Rangers Rangers slipped at the starting line of their William Hill Premiership campaign as Motherwell hit back for a 1-1 draw at Fir Park. Gers skipper James Tavernier headed in from a corner in the 14th minute but Russell Martin's side never found any rhythm and Emmanuel Longelo drove in an equaliser three minutes from time. Newly-promoted Livingston came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Kilmarnock, who paid a heavy price for the sending-off of George Stanger. What's on today? Scottish champions Celtic begin their bid for a 14th title in 15 seasons as they host St Mirren. There are two other games in the SPL with promoted Falkirk taking on Dundee United and Dundee facing Hibernian.

Joanne Robertson's beautifully murky folksong and the best of the week's new tracks
From Blackpool, EnglandRecommended if you like Grouper, Sinéad O'Connor, Dean Blunt Up next New album Blurr released via AD 93 on 19 September The best of the UK underground right now resonates with a dank hum, a grimy, disaffected feeling. You don't need me to tell you why: just listen to Moin, Mark William Lewis, Quade or Still House Plants and let the feeling mingle with the deep sense of dread already entrenched in your bones. One strand of this sound's DNA can be traced back to Dean Blunt's warped experimentalism. Anyone attuned to the enigmatic London musician's output is likely already aware of his long-term collaborator Joanne Robertson, a fixture on 2021's Black Metal 2 and last year's Backstage Raver among others. For those outside the Bluntverse, she's likely to go overground this year as the latest tendril from its world, her new album Blurr adding folky shades to this invitingly squalid sonic scene. Robertson is also a painter, and uses improvisation in both media. 'I want the works to almost fail,' she once said. 'I struggle with conceived notions of beauty.' The songs on Blurr hang together like spider webs, her blurred and belly-deep acoustic strums seeming to have no beginning or end. There's a blunt weightiness to her playing that might recall the Kentucky post-rock scene of the early 90s, which anchors her searching vocals. She has a way with unearthing hypnotic pockets of melody; single Gown has something of Sinéad O'Connor's Celtic hymns to it. Moments of sharpness evoke confrontational early Cat Power; the softer shades Jessica Pratt's watercolour delivery. Meanwhile, the distance at which she sings brings to mind how Grouper's music feels like following a wraithlike presence through a misty forest. Cello by Oliver Coates burnishes this uncanny sound world, one that finds unexpected openness and hope in the murk. Laura Snapes Snooper – WorldwideFlagbearers for the antic, lo-fi 'egg punk' sound, the Nashville band return with a Devo-channelling single, frontwoman Blair Tramel contorting herself with a series of gymnastic commands. Oren Ambarchi / Johan Berthling / Andreas Werliin – ChaharThe trio's terrific Ghosted project continues with another of their steadily rhythmic jazz quests, this one animated by a killer motif from double bassist Berthling, flexing under Werliin's funky drums and Ambarchi's fidgety guitar. Nourished By Time – Baby BabyThe best single yet from the underground US pop star's upcoming new album: he rants against political apathy as new wave washes around 80s R&B flourishes and vocal samples in a psychedelic spin cycle. Enny – Cabin FevaWith the impulsive spirit of slam poetry given the discipline of hip-hop, Enny's flow is always a pleasure. Here, over a spartan jazzy backing, she raps about preserving her self-respect amid a power-imbalanced relationship. Rema – KelebuRather than settle into masses-pleasing middle of the road pop after his mega-smash Calm Down, the Nigerian star has been admirably edgy and propulsive, and this galloping track is proper pell-mell madness. Witch Fever – Fevereaten'God put my weight under his thumb / told me I'd soon become undone …' The Manc band's frontwoman, Amy Walpole, confronts the man upstairs with magnificent goth rock that broods then rages. Ondo Fudd – LimelightCerebral but never dull or bookish, the British dance producer Call Super resurrects his alter ego for this futurist take on Chicago house, its bassline taking on different hues as if passing through pools of coloured light.
