| 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!!!

| If it had been about someone's colour or sexuality he would have been rightly sacked, this is no different.
Of course, what everyone is not mentioning, is that Grey is suing the NOTW who of course also own Sky. You cross Murdoch at your own risk. It isn't co-incidence that these tapes have been leaked is it really?

| Whats the difference between Andy Grays comments, and the comments those five hags on 'Loose Women' make every single day on ITV? Like an earlier poster says, its all down to Rupert Murdoch. Hes the most powerful man in the country, he can make idiots believe whatever he wants. Him and Simon Cowell have been dumbing down the country for years. Murdoch creates that many 'False Flag' stories he must wonder how he gets away with it.

Making apologies to anybody who will listen to him - but methinks he's heading in the same direction as Gray - doesn't appear to be his first sexist remark.
All seems a bit OTT to be honest - but that's the world we now live in.

| And the man that effectively has sacked him, Rupert Murdoch, will still continue to print pictures of naked women on page 3 tomorrow no doubt. Oh the irony.

| Seriously considering cancelling my Sky Sports subscription in protest. What a joke, these things happen in everyday life and most of it was pretty tongue in cheek stuff.
The young lady in question did a pretty good job on the line and made a really good call for Liverpool's first goal which made what had been said look even worse. Sky have really over reacted, looks to me like someone had it in for Andy Gray to be honest.
