Women and the offside rule - Andy Gray sacked

[Risso]

I really dislike her use of "dinosaur" as an adjective.

Yes, she was doing so well up until that point.

I'm no fan of hers but I did like her response.

from theguardian.co.uk
He said Brady had refused to pick up the phone when he tried to call to apologise, claiming that it may have been a tactic to keep her club off the back pages.

Brady responded tonight: "Perhaps Richard thought I was too busy making the tea and washing up to take his call but a cursory glance at the weekend's newspapers or television would have made him well aware that I was heavily occupied with the West Ham and Newham Council Olympic Stadium bid."

"West Ham's future in the Olympic Stadium is of far more significance to me than his future. It is most unfortunate that he has chosen to add insult to injury today by suggesting that this incident has done me a favour by getting West Ham out of the press, as after all I did not ask to be part of his sexist tirade.

"This is not about an apology to me, but about an apology to all women. Richard represents views that myself and those who work in the business of football find totally dinosaur."

I can't see much to like about that. Just typical spiteful crap. She's got where she is because she's a woman rather than in spite of it.

No, of course you can't. Spiteful? If it were do you not think it's justified?

It's spiteful because she's enjoying every second of pouring further petrol on Key's already incinerated career when he didn't really cause her any damage in the first place.

Err, Richard Keys comments at the weekend. Ring any bells what old monkey man said?

"Do me a favour love?"  As if she could have cared less.

I don't think anyones ever been particularly bothered about the thoughts of Richard Keys or "monkey man", which is actually a far more hurtful comment than anything Keys said about Brady.

You're right. I apologise to all monkeys.

You might wonder how she's found the time to talk to the media twice about this incident already when she is so busy.

[Macho Man Randy Savage]

Andy Gray, speechless.

A classic moment. Gray was quite gutted after the blatant bias he showed Everton during that game.

[Dave Cooper please]

   
Vile person, who is useless at her job.

So useless that people keep employing her at large salaries?

[Mac]

   


   Vile person, who is useless at her job.

  MON would be WHU manager now if it was'nt for her ineptitude.

  Tickets fiasco whilst at SHA, charging supporters for the away club, vile person,arrogant , ignorant, why is she held in such high esteem..

  Did;nt like Keys, but he was right about her.

Oooooooo that's controversial on here.

i think he was right too.  And besides, his comments were in response to Brady saying that WHU only got bad coverage because she was a woman!  Yeah, do me a favour love.

[hawkeye]

sanity on here at last

[saunders_heroes]

Trust Brady to stick the knife in. Vile woman, but at least she's a champion of anti-sexism (so she tells us in her weekly column in the Sun whilst earning her monthly wage from Sullivan and Gold's porn business)

The same couple of people to be honest.  And as she was arrested while doing that large salaried job, I'm not sure that honest is the most apt word.

[Lizz]

My knowledge of Karren Brady's limited to what's on here and in the media. Our paths are unlikely to cross though she's not someone I'd choose to mix with, and expect her opinion of women like me means the feeling's mutual. It's when the criticism of her is 'she's a slag/ugly/name calling only' with no substance that I feel ever so slightly defensive of her.

Anyway, having said all that, and hindsight being a wonderful thing, I think it was unwise of Sky to focus so much on Andy Gray and Richard Keys as presenters over the years. They're not indispensible, they'd have had to retire at some time, what would Sky have done if one of them had died? Richard Keys talking about 'Dark Forces'. Sorry, important as football is, this just smacked as self promotion to me.

Can't help but wondering if this is an example of there's no such thing as bad publicity. Sky will be able to announce the new presenters in a blaze of publicity, and they're certainly being talked about a lot lately.
