| Hopefully there will be an internet campaign to get Andy reinstated. He does a tremendous job and has done for the last 20 years. Sad to see him having to succumb to political correctness gone mad.
Its not as if he said anything in public, whatever you think of what he said. Complete over-reaction by Sky.
Even if Richard Keys is allowed back, it won't be the same and they will probably make him co-present with a woman!

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Ime glad to see the back of the arrogant pillock , he was a knob as a player , and has been the same since he got the job at SKY , all ex players ' pull ' current players for mistakes , just as the RL bozo with his ' silly penalties ' , yet they all did exactly the same when they played
The way Gray used to over analyse after watching hours of re runs in slow motion trying to make out he is some kind of genius , then stating the obvious

icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

| He`s an arrogant r swipe, good riddance. Here`s hoping soccers version of Eddie Hemmings follows suit.

yeh,glad he's gone - the past few years have been tedious with his so-called tactical knaus - he is a pillock but I fear we will see him popping up somewhere or other in the media in the not too distant future - probably Talksport..tho' I don't think I could stand another Collymore or Houghton ....

| Dirty Old Beggar !
Like how the co-presenter 'ignored' his lewd comment, maybe if he lost weight and grew his 'mullet' back she might have, well maybe not - the fow 'know it all' !!!

Yes it absolutely fits the crime ,when I first heard about it yesterday I thought maybe a trifle harsh for a bit of a joke about the girl in question not knowing about off side . We`ve heard the joke a hundred times before no big deal .But when I watched and listened to the whole of the tapes it made me rather sick to the stomach to be honest.If I was the parents of the young girl who must have worked her socks off to get where she has just to be degraded in that fashion I find it quite apalling. Methinks it was probably the women who work on the programme who got fed up of his boarish ways and "accidently " left the mic`s on.Probably fed up of being ignored when they kept complaining about his behaviour most likely.I think he will not likely get another job on tv at a million pound a year ever he will now have to resort to being interviewd on various shows , writing a book , taking part in celebrity wife swap and ending up in next years jungle with Ant & Dec to make his living. That will be if he is lucky.

I thought the same myself to be honest mate until i heard all the things that had gone on, no one else to blame but himself i wouldn't like it if he was talking about anyone in my family like that.

Which was the same argument some used to defend Ron Atkinson!

I read earlier in the week that Andy has a legal case against his phone being tapped (think it was against a News Corp paper) so that won't possibly won't have helped his case if you look at who employs(ed) him .
He then has a 'sexist comment' to a collegue leaked (some 4 weeks after the event) following comments he made off air about a female official (wonder how many times have we heard the mikes left on in all the years of them covering football ?)
I suppose its all just coincidence that his alledged private thoughts and opinons have come into the public domain now
Just out of interest I googled the other presenter he insulted as I hadn't heard of her.........wasn't what I expected.
Wonder what Stevo makes of it all

| Just worries me that they have set a precedent here and somebody people actually like might be the next affected. Seems like a very swift knee-jerk reaction - perhaps they wanted to get rid and this was their opportunity.
I am sure a lawsuit will be in the offing.
Believe me, if you had to put up with the drivel that passes for match analysis on ths side of the pond, you would be absolutely delighted to listen to Messrs Gray and Keys!!!
