It's Super Sunday! Lets go live to the gantry with Martin Tyler and our star signing...



Jim Leighton making a comeback?

He's lost the Swiss butter mountain he had dripping off his forehead and it looks like he's found his teeth again.

He forgot about the off camera offhand rule about off colour rermarks. he is not the first...

From listening to his remarks he doesn't agree that Women can be officials in the game, so maybe he should walk away from the game if he doesn't like it. Along with his mate and every other bigot.

Oh and I assume the "Soccerette" will be dropped from Soccer AM too??
That's what I was hinting at earlier.

It's a disgrace I tell you. A disgrace.

The concept of irony is wholly lost on some people.

If he's got the boot simply for what he said at the weekend (though there's probably more to it) then it's pretty harsh because he didn't say that that female official didn't understand the offside rule, but that women didn't. Big Ron was different because his comments were made specifically about Desailly.

He's still an idiot though, and he should have apologised like Keys did.

Soccer AM is indeed rubbish, but as Sky has now become the moral guardian of the football coverage I would hope it follows the theme through into Sky News, where it employs ex-models as presenters and Soccer AM where casual sexism is rife too.

he wasnt popular on here, but i liked Andy Gray as a pundit on Sky,
but i feel he probably wasnt that popular with people he worked with, he got set up, and they then took the opportunity to get rid,

a bit like when  John Gaunt went from Talksport, you just felt that they were just looking for a reason to sack him because he was such an obnoxious fat twat [ is that fattist, or twatist ?]

hey Mac, maybe he'l have a spare bit of time to open to your Asda now

Judging offsides in the epl is slightly more nuanced and difficult than turning up once a week to 'analyse' the extent to which a striker has "SMASHED IT".

Having heard the recording seems keys was way worse, he seems genuinely angry that a woman was working in football, didn't realise the capacity to judge offside comes from the penis.

Rant over, sorry everyone
