Women and the offside rule - Andy Gray sacked

If there was a god James Richardson would be hosting every football programme going.

Yup.

Who would you replace Gray & Keys with ? they've become embedded into the whole PL mirage

Don't know, as I don't have Sky Sports, and don't believe that just because they, or any other self-proclaimed 'experts' for that matter are experts. However, they're not indespensible, and at some stage invincible as they appear to be, Sky will have to think about succession planning.

would you sack keys and Gray over this if you had control ?

Not that you asked for it but as a female, I would make them publically apologise but not sack them, leave it around to embarrass them.

I would be extremely hypocritical to want them sacked as I have made some offensive sexist comments on several occasions but also received quite a few. Having a thick skin as a referee helps I guess.

Keys has phoned Sian Massey and apologised.

One of the most ironic things about all this, is that when it came to a controversial decision, she got it right.

Exactly, and a very difficult call as well.

Tch! Women! They're only good for two things - dancing backwards and fetching the beer! They should all be kept barefoot, pregnant and chained to the kitchen sink up to their elbows in flour! </Bernard Manning>

She did get that one right. She got one wrong a few minutes later which wasn't picked up on but as the call came early enough in the move it didn't get to a potential Goal scoring position so wasn't a "Big Decision". It was about the same type of display as most linos give.

Would you fly to Tenerife or similar if they announced the pilot was female ??

Not sure i would to be fair, my mrs makes a meal out of zebra crossings let alone an air field

I've got a mate who's a pilolt and apparently that's a lads profession too

The thing that gets my goat about Sky (by that I mean Keys and Gray) is that they seem to think they have a god given right to do as the please and say what they want because their parent company 'gives' the clubs millions of pounds to show the games on TV.  I never had much respect for Keys anyway and its all gone now.  The way he has talked to people down the years has been disgraceful at times putting managers under additional unnecessary pressure with pointless questions and telling them to 'do better'.  Gray, albeit a Villa legend, has seriously gone down in my estimation simply because he seems like a 'yes man' as part of the conversation and agreeing with stuck up, out of touch keys and adding to the insults being thrown at this decent referees assistant, instead of telling Keys to wake up and smell the coffee.  TBH couldn't have been better timed in Keys 19th year, hope he doesn't make it to 20.  The wider issue is how long has this been going on for not just that they have been caught now......

Which is not entirely correct.

She tried on a lovely beige trouser suit in H&M down the Merry Hill on the way to Wolverhampton, but plumped for the black frock instead, so it didn't make her arse look so big.

Are you for real? If a female fire-fighter/ambulance person was saving your life, would you care that they were female and not male?

[villajk]

ahah, very good, Lee.

Considering you've not been able to spell pilot in two attempts, you're not the best advert for male supremacy I've ever come across.
