Am I the only one who finds the sight of Keys putting his feet on the desk all the time really annoying? Saw him do that in the box at VP once, the disrespectful little scamp.

I like Andy Gray however I don't watch any games on Skysport  because  Andy is  the pundit. I like him because he brought lot of pleasure to my life watching the Villa that 1 season when he scored and he scored!

I think he  has over stepped the mark and Sky are correct to take the action they did. Not worried about Andy he is a wealthy man and  ESPN beckons.

I have to say that's a bit harsh in my view.  Obviously Sky employ the host of blonde lovelies on Sky Sports News for their considerable knowledge of the sporting world.

Same here.

You employ a host of blonde lovelies?

  The only time i think that comments like that are unacceptable, are if they are on a regular basis, and a bit sinister, and threatening.

  Now there is no evidence of that , so we have to give him the benefit of doubt.

  Can every man on here honestly tell me he has never made a suggestive comment

That will teach Gray to sue the News of the World.

Why do we have to give him the benefit of the doubt? It looked both slightly threatening and sinister to me.

I've never made a suggestive comment in the work place like that, no.

Have you?

There's a difference between employing attractive women to front your news coverage and having your employees make lewd comments to them like that, though.

Unless them being attractive means it is fair game.

Me neither. Be in the now or in the stone-age, your choice.

You're not alone. It's one of my pet hates.

Not unless proposition 304 passes. And we all pray it will.

Yup, it's hard to have fun without sexually intimidating someone in front of your mates.

No, the path I think we should be going down is the one where "you can tuck me in if you want to" is not acceptable chat in the work place.

What meaning is it that I'm seeing in that that isn't really there?

I'd agree with that. And not that this should really change anything, but I suppose you could say that in most work places you wouldn't find a woman with smutty images of herself on google.

What's come out in the last couple of days has mainly just reinforced what's already known about Gray. What I find curious is that Sky has suddenly decided that it cares about it.

Mirror website has new link to a video of keys making lewd comments about women - looks as though he will get the sack tomorrow as well!
