Richard Keys and Andy Gray

[Hoop Blah]

Two middle-aged men in a bit of sexist bravado shocker!

It's about time Gray was questioned over some of the bollocks he comes out with a weekly basis. He and the majority of the others on the Sky team are awful and are as big a part of dragging the sport down as anyone else. I doubt they'll have to fall on their sword this little episode though.

As for a 25 year old running the line at that level, well I'm quite surprised in some ways, but as someone else has already said, she's not that bad a lino (which is surprising considering the standard set by Wendy Toms as mentioned in the conversation).

[Mr Angry]

She got the decision for the first goal totally spot on, and there have been times when male linesmen have got similar decisions wrong.

Personally, I think both should consider themselves extremely lucky to still be employed today.

^Exactly.

Yep the decision for the goal was spot on. She did get one wrong shortly after though.

I would like to see a revamp of SKY anyway. Andy Gray is annoying and Keys needs to move on now. As long as they don't get Colin Murray or Adrian Chiles in, I'm all for change.

Alarm Bells, I agree with Hyundai Coupe.

[jonboy29red]

seeing as the fa are up the backside of the sky i expect nothing to happen here but it would be nice for them to ask for an on screen apoligy next time there on air

[rfcjoe]

They've both been suspended for tonights game.

[Platypuss]

Pcunts in saying pcuntish things shocker.

[jumpers for goalposts]

I'd rather have a woman running the line than be sat in the stands to be fair.

You're not wrong

Sickening really, considering the continued deployment of Jacqui Oatley. *

It's interesting that Sky are considering their position, wheras Atkinson was out on his ear alomost immediately. So that means sexism is less of an offence than racism.

It's not really in the same league as calling Desailly a "fcuking lazy nigger". I'm sure if they'd thrown out a couple of words like "slag" or "slut" they'd be out by now.

er, no. Allardyce was always co-commentating tonights game.

[Big Foot]

Hmmm heard conflicting reports about when it was said - some say pre match, some at half time.

Anyway regardless it does raise some interesting points as mentioned above:-

- If they'd said something racist would they still be in a job this morning?
- What price loyalty? 20 years on service to SKY, will they be allowed their one strike?

I sense SKY desperately want to keep them, but if pressure mounts it may be difficult.

This isn't Keys' first muck up, he came out with the equally classic "silly little ground, silly fcuking game, fcuk off" about Scotland the other year too

[Skyline]

Keys is a Coventry fan, so given my antipathy towards that particular club, AFAIC he can just oxf*rd right off anyway

Check the Daily Mirrors website queero.

As mentioned at half-time of yesterday's game.

[winchester_royal]

On MNF Keys and Gray are in the studio....never commentating. So Allardyce being the co-commentator is completely irrelevant.

[floyd__streete]

Keys is clearly a f*cking arrogant tool anyway and an utter moron; this embarassing episode is not even the first time he has been caught thinking he has his mic switched off - he upset the whole of Scotland with his disparaging comments about their game with the Faroe Islands a few years back.
