Andy Gray / Richard Keys / Sky thread

[Villa'Zawg]

...
Less educated ?  i think not , this is how i am in real life why should i allure myself into something i am not ? , I am not some boffin who has a degree at oxford .I portray myself the way i am and the way i was bought up. Life is too short for people to be condescending on others.

Whatever you do, don't allure yourself into something you are not.

Having only read the first and last pages of this thread I'm guessing the NOTW exclusive was that Andy Gray had a habit of being late for grammar lessons. The little rascal.

Punctuality is the virtue of the bored.

Yes, but possibly not the point you imagine.

No it was  entirely the point i imagined , using a spelling error with their and there thus getting an arrogant response in return , ingenious .

Unintentional comedy gold there.

Punctuality is the virtue of the bored.

Punctuality is the virtue of the respectful.
Punctuation is the virtue of the precise.
Whereas self-proclaimed idiocy is the virtue of the, well, idiotic.

I don't think he was very good at his job, he was a patronising git who pandered to the media teams, especially Man U.

Why did you watch him then ?

I watched cos I am interested in football. Amazing, eh? That might be the weirdest post I've ever read on here.

I don't recall you having a go at Andy Gray before this erupted, it amazes me how all of a sudden people like you turn on someone who was in your living room for 20 years ( apart from Paulie, who has always hated him).

His private life is that, his private life.

He was excellent on Sky in my opinion and ensured that football was communicated to the masses far better than anything that the terrestrial stations dish up.

Shush you, you'll ruin it for everyone! I haven't laughed so much in ages

Aye of course going to a a school that is located in an rough area is obviously going to poorly educate pupils due to the idiots that disrupt lessons .  ...  Poverty has got nothing to do with it .A kid in Africa will grasp the opportunity given to them if they had the same opportunity to learn , here the snotty little bastards have got it too easy .

My initial point still stands regardless of your upbringing or what school you attended no body has an excuse anymore (unless they suffer from learning difficulties )  .

And my mistake i did not know that it was required to be punctual in a forum , i should check up on the Internet rulebook on that one ...

Will they? Got any proof of that or did you just make it up?

I'm sorry, but poverty is a major factor in some children under-performing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-11309250 That is one of many, many sources you'd find on this matter. Your point doesn't stand, it falls on its arse in the light of scrutiny. Or using google for 30 seconds. Isn't educating yourself using the internet amazing?

And, no, obviously there is no internet rulebook but when you're banging on about how no-one should have an excuse for not being well educated, you might want to make sure your use of grammar doesn't make you look foolish.

I tend to agree

Someone famous says something they shouldn't have when pissed

Whoopee do

is it any different to ashley young exposing himself on webcam?

[Dave Javu]

I agree with this:

"We've entered an era in which private conversation is impossible. Ever since Gordon Brown was caught calling Gillian Duffy a bigot, the tape's been left running. Paranoia is at an all-time high. MPs can no longer talk to their own constituents without suspecting they may be undercover reporters. Celebrities can't listen to their voicemails without wondering if they have been transcribed and passed to the newsdesk. Football commentators can no longer yap like oafs in their downtime. Everyone has become a reality show contestant nervously awaiting their own Shilpa Shetty moment."

[Chris Smith]

To a certain extent, Deej, but the issue with Gray and Keys was that it was in the work place. It's not just a normal private conversation when you ask a junior employee to put something down your trousers.

Yep, if I was caught doing something like that then I would expect to be booted out. The fact he was the voice of Sky live football only adds to it.

I have always hated him too.

[Mac]

I've hated him the longest.

Joint longest, actually
