Women and the offside rule - Andy Gray sacked

[Ger Regan]

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.

Like many a big corporation, it has to be seen to be doing the right thing, rather than having any real wish to do the right thing.

Don't know if its been covered, but I think the pitchside reporter (Andy Burton?) being suspended for saying (paraphrasing) "Steve the cameraman says the female lino is a bit of a looker" is a bit over the top.

Anyone else agree?

I'd agree with that.

Although I'll retract my agreement if it means we don't have to see the oily tit with his gaggle of mobile phones on the desk acting like he's the most connected man on earth on transfer deadline day.

I was slightly confused by that as well.

The new video leaked of keys tonight making lewd comments looks like it's the end of him too- I'd like to see George gavin as the anchor man- those were the days!

Keys new video link of his lewd comments is on mirror website- can't paste it as I'm on iPod.

[pauliewalnuts]

You wont be able to see it, either, as the Mirror twats have just linked to the youtube video, which has now been deleted.

Yep, it doesn't really help the situation when so many struggle to see the difference in context (particularly on here). At no point (unless he has form) has Burton called into question the presence of female officials in the game or directed an off colour comment directly at a colleague. It muddies the water and will make everyone paranoid.

Surely though after the keys video was leaked tonight he must go too- can't really sack one and not the other- in the lineswoman incident keys comments were worse than grays- neither will be missed.

Bring back Hugh Johns I say. 'One-nil. Brian Little'. You need to say that in his voice mind you...

I also thought Barry Davies was fantastic, the last of the old school commentators who didn't think you had to scream or shout to do your job.

He sounded like an English teacher. Jonathan Pearce sounds like a cab driver.

It's back!

"Would you smash it?"

Christ, what a try hard prick.

Hawkeye is a tedious fucking moron who lives with his nan.

Hey, you're right! This banter stuff is awesome!

[Chris Jameson]

Too many people living in their own little fantasy world's.

Don't leave us hanging on, fantasy world's what?

[Chris Jameson]

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!

Please tell me he is in the company of Colin Murray who is also making inappropiate remarks?

Colin Murray was slapping a child in a wheelchair and Alan Green was abusing deaf people in sign language
