Women and the offside rule - Andy Gray sacked

[Fasth56]

Too many people need to get a life!

You're very profound!

Perhaps reading your own signature may point something out to you!

And I'd refer you to your original point.

Heard the one, let the one who has not sinned throw the first stone, therefore from your sanctimonious comments I presume you are whiter than white. Perhaps you even wrote the inclusion and diversity book!

That's so pathetic I genuinely don't know where to begin.

If this was anywhere else they would sacked but those two are untouchable at Sky.  Both of them are a disgrace.

It's interesting they ban them for this game they won't be on at the weekend as it's the FA Cup so it will be another week before we see them again when Sky will be hoping this will have all blown over.

DING DING DING we have a winner! And you can't call it christmas any more.
And the whole point is that there was no humour meant in the way they said it.

This hysterical reaction will be forgotten about by the time Keys and Gray resume their broadcasting duties next weekend. They've been given a bollocking and rightly so, but all this is now is material for Talksport and the rolling news coverage. As usual, there is a orderly queue of wronged and offended sad sacks demanding the removal of their livelihoods.

Look, I'm not a big fan of either Keys or Gray. In fact, I'm of the opinion that that they become more and more cretinous with each passing season. But, some of the sanctimonious claptrap trotted out today has been totally over the top. Does anyone think this will lead to a serious debate about sexism in football? It's today's hot topic, nothing more. I think we should celebrate the fact that the pair of them have been made to look like the prize twats that they are and that The Premier League has an up and coming female official who has been given positive exposure thanks to Laurel and Hardy.

If you have been offended by this pair of misogynistic baboons then don't worry, you'll have forgotten it by Wednesday.

We're still waiting for you to tell us what we all think.

I hear Chalkie and his mates have got no sense of humour anymore either.

This has all the hallmarks of something spiralling out of control
No doubt it will be mentioned at PM's question time next

I dont really like the 2 of them but I do enjoy "what a weekend" on a Sunday tea time, it wraps the weekend up nicely

Gray and Keys are a pair of old puffters anyway....

Look I'm not defending Keys & Gray, however, where's the consistency ? Women can have snidey digs at men all day long and its just laughed off / banter.
Is the playing field level ?

Neither Gray nor Keys was laughing. It was not a joke.

I said exactly the same thing to Mrs VCTM tonight - she just smirked ........ life`s a bitch and then you marry .......you know the rest!!!

For all those PC watchers out there ......I`m just joking (in fact I sought permission from Mrs VCTM before I posted this).

Hang on, you said that they just said what everyone was thinking. That sounds a lot like defending them to me.

And I'm struggling to think of a situation where women would insinuate that they'd be clueless at their job simply because they're men.

Men can have snidey digs at women as well, and frequently do.

What neither men nor women should do though is specifically point out that a man or a woman can't do their job because of their gender. They might not be able to do it because they're rubbish at it, but their gender has nothing to do with it.

This is what you seem to be struggling with.
