Football Season 2010/2011

[SB_07]

Sky Sports was under pressure last night to discipline its top football presenting team, Richard Keys and Andy Gray, after they were recorded making sexist remarks about two female match officials and a leading female football executive.

I don't think she did too bad, in fact she was spot on with the offside decision. It really shouldn't matter what gender someone is so long as they make the correct decisions (at least most of the time).

Keys and Gray will probably get sent to Talk Sport now which is where morons who've crossed the line go off to die.

They have been suspended for tonight's game apparently.

Has King Kenny developed a sense of humour?

At the start, Dalglish jokingly asked Sky's male reporter whether he minded that there was a woman present.

That's the last of Andy Gray then.

I'd prefer it if Keys was never to be seen again tbh, not that I watch that channel anymore. What Keys knows about football I could write on the back of a postage stamp. He is just a front man for Sky Sports, in this case football, an "Elton Welsby" character if you like.

Sian Massey carried out her role as assistant referee very well imo.

The obvious trouble with Gray and Keys is that, they assume the role of premiership football is their own for evermore, and can say what they like........THINK AGAIN !!

This whole lineswoman thing is imo getting completely out of hand. From what iv`e seen and read it what just a bit of harmless banter. As long as whoever is running the line, be it a man, woman or transvestite it doesn`t matter so long as they get the decisions right (a from iv`e seen the lass was spot on).
Sian Massey must have heard that type of comment hundreds if not thousands of times and it`s just water off a ducks back.
Why is it nowadays that everything you say is taken as being literal. Do we not as a nation have a sense of humour.

Do you really think that Keys and Gray thought Sian didn`t know the offside rule even though the governing body has placed her in that position. Maybe you don`t like them but come on, this is just silly.
I`d really like a woman`s take on this, iv`e asked most females i know and they just shrugged and said "so what", we say the same about you blokes and cooking.
Are you offended by it?

Just been sacked...

Please don't replace him with Sam Allardyce. Not sure I would be able to cope!

There was another video leaked:

In the end I guess it was too much. Besides he wasn't especially good. "Can Messi do it at Stoke' was the best one.

I might be missing something but i don't see how that video is in anyway sexist?

Basically a man has lost his job over a private conversation he had with a friend, the world has gone mad.
