By the way, £1.7M a year fro talking about football!!??

Nevermind his shocking wages..... but absolute twatface like Andy Gray saying he wouldn't..... crime against fucking humanity. Yes Andy, yes you would if you could. Let's face it, you are not Gary fucking Lineker.

People on phone in's were giving it the old it's banter, fellas having a giggle, but it wasn't. The tone in their voices tells you that. If it was just banter they would have been laughing but they were serious.

I don't get the apology thing as they both obviously think what they said is true and them saying sorry ain't going to change that, they will be just more carefull next time what they say while wearing a mic. Sky need to fuck them off and get some new blood in, get Gabby Logan on just to rub it in!

I absolutely HATE Gabby Logan! Talk about getting a job just because of who your paps is! The fact she knows pretty much nothing about football doesn't seem to effect her. Kirsty Gallacher is someone who I wouldn't mind seeing back on SkySports to be honest. She seemed to talk a bit more sense from what I remember. Even Georgie Thompson, but please not Logan!

And Sky bury the Andy Coulson story with a public sacking for what ?the conversation of two muppets whats new football is full of banter, FFS. The loons now have the keys no pun intended. Record the banter and shite talked in East Level 2 every home game.

Stewards are all little hitlers, Munich this Munich that The club robbing bastards he is a lazy money grabbing bastard, you would be here all day and night if you quoted the stuff football generates. FFS pop on youtube you would here worse in 2 secs. Get a grip this is staged managed and stitched up.

She also had a fair pair on her I seem to remember! Not to be sexist or anything! ;-)

£500 or 5 mill thats football money is crazy, this is an agenda, Gray is being fired endof,there is more to this than Saturday, SKY/ newscorp run the media, Murdock has his smokescreen. Cameron /Coulson and the Oxford mafia have sliped away for now. Bullshit story fuelled by loons, Here and now I would not want to see any abuse of anyone, but who gives a toss really. Stitch up.

[Mase]

Here and now I would not want to see any abuse of anyone

Even G. Neville??

Well no he has himself to live with. Tough gig.

Seems Sky are trying to offload some baggage here and although I can't stand Gray and Keys, I don't like the way they are going about it. What was said was a disciplinary offence that should be dealt with internally and a statement of apology raised by the broadcaster as well as Gray and Monkey Boy.

Strange that Sky don't mind showing Rooney/Gerrard/Feltcher et al abusing the ref in front of millions of viewers but draw the line on something that was realistically said off air.

The fact that these clips have even been broadcast makes me think you are right.

Who decided to air them and why? I hope it is because they want to get rid, I am sick of Andy Gray speaking to us like he is the only person who has ever seen a football match before.

At the quoted 1.7 mil, I'd want to offload the twat as well. He obviously has a strangle-hold on someone there but they now have the ammo to release him for a fee nowhere near what he'd expect otherwise.

About time too and hopefully we will see some more knowledgeable presenters brought in who actually know the game in the here and now.

Spot on.

Am I the only one thinking they want to move Jamie Redknapp into a more prominent role and shift them out?

That said, Keys is a nobody with nothing at all to say worth listening to, whilst Gray worships the Sky 4 and is so condescending its unreal. If this does get them off the screens, We will all somehow have to find the strength to go on.

I just wonder how long it will be before the issue of Sky Sports News is dragged into the debate, as its basically a beauty pageant where the female presenters are concerned.

Agree. If you read the transcript, you'd imagine it was a bit of a laugh and a wind up, but it dertianly doesn't sound that way when you hear the clip.

Spot on. Besides he has about five different lines for each team in the league which he repeats every time these teams play. To fill rest of the 80 minutes left in the game he goes stating fucking stupid stuff like " Ah cannie wnderstand what Cite err dayin whit that totty lad Tevez up front. Ye need to awa tall lad there. Mancini is banger."

That's if he fails to notice we're not called Manchester United!

Wow, breaking news. A 25 year old girl likes to dance and go on holiday! That has to be one of the most pathetic 'stories' I have ever seen published by a newspaper!

[BobbyJ1956]

Number of things present here:
1. football is the last refuge of the neanderthal bloke with knuckles scraping the floor, as AG's comments and Ashton's posts show.
2. Gray has no time for anyone who didn't play the game. Understand that, to be fair.
3. what people say in private (and yes, women on basketball, softball,& soccer teams say the same and worse) is different from what goes out in public; Gray and Keys should have kept their locker-room jests/jibes to their own time, not when they were working.
4. Get rid of them.

Apparently Gray is in dispute with the 'News of the World'. No prizes for guessing who owns that. It's true about Sky Sports news but also Sky News. I don't notice too many unattractive, non short skirted, women presenting the news on that station.

What Gray & Keys said about that lino is disgusting & unfair & they deserve to be punished but so is the subsequent thought police jumping on Gray, in a seperate incident, for saying whether he 'would' or not when someone says she's a bit of a looker. It's off camera before the game's even started ffs. As if those boring tittle tattling shitbags on that crappy women's programme on ITV wouldn't talk exactly the same way about a bloke, off camera. They talk about blokes like that ON camera anyway.

Then we have the newspapers tut tutting about Gray & Keys whilst printing a picture of her in a mimi skirt dancing. Would they use a picture of Howard Webb 'getting down' in his Speedo's if it was about him?

Gray & Keys, all of the media involved in this argument, Sky & the thought police all make me fucking sick & deserve each other.

[john@staustell]

The issue here is that 2 guys who spend all week criticising refs and linesmen etc can take issue with someone at all. Surely any new blood of any sex, race, nation or planet can do better than the likes of some of the ones we have to put up with? From that point of view, and sexism aside, these comments are blatantly stupid.
