That's pissed me off .

Gray is iconic. My generation have grown up with his voice as THE voice of modern day televisual football.

Absolutely horrendous decision.

Sky will be running back to him. Count on it.

Apparently it relates to something he said in December.

Which means, I imagine, he was warned about something, has done it again, and is now sacked

According to the breaking news ticker on the Grauniad site, it follows 'new evidence of unacceptable and offensive behaviour'

Absolute joke - the world's gone pc barmy!

Andy Gray is the one pundit who talks football sense. And the only co-commentator who spots most things instantly and doesn't need five replays before making his mind up.
A big loss to Sky's coverage.
I've had enough of them now.

U Mad?

Sky will miss him more than he will miss Sky.

He'll have a line of jobs waiting for him.

He's irreplaceable, who's going to be the voice of football on Sky Sports now? Gary Lineker?!

Joke.  Especially for an off air comment.  Wonder who leaked it?  Hope they're feeling happy now.

I know, I know.

When will they ever realize that Apple Mac has so much more possibilities re multimedia and content. No viruses either.

All good things must come to an end, and some bad things too. I won't weep for Gray, couldn't stand his faux excitement and how his rants would go up an octave, even when he was describing a pretty basic goal.
