"Quite obvious they were looking for a reason to get shot IMO. Andy Gray is a dinsoaur with outdated views. Similar to some of the "real men" on here. "
u do realise most of the people on here are joking and looking for a reaction etc
Sadly there's a few joining you and a few other funny ones who aint getting it |

I can believe he is sexist but do you honestly believe he thinks that females just can't understand the offside rule? |

Who leaks this stuff anyway ? Internal matter imo, just a fkg witch hunt.
Quite obvious they were looking for a reason to get shot IMO. Andy Gray is a dinsoaur with outdated views. Agree - you knew when Sky started reporting the story today with the dialogue/video they wanted him gone. It makes sense to just get someone better in who costs less. |

i really feel sorry for people that dont see what he said was a fairly harmless joke (but at the top end of the bottom tier of harmless)
are we not allowed to tell jokes anymore?, is having a laugh and a giggle a crime? - (and yes i do include even at someone elses expense there too - other people are often used in jokes)
the long run of this type of mentality is that people become cardboard cut outs - too frightened to express an opinion to go against the grain - and woe betide anyone how dare make a joke - for fear of someone taking offence
if you choose to, you could take offence at a million things that are out there in this big world of ours
If someone could explain why that joke was so vile/sexist/crude/diminishing that a man should lose his job over it id be interested to hear it
time and place for everything andy gray is guilty of getting it wrong me and tighty having a joke at the bottom of a stairs casse tighty telling me to get my crippled butt up the stairs would be fine me and a doorman in same place and with same comment i would take offense and he would he feeling a little sore after i hit him andy hray miss judge his releationship with the woman and basically it is a type of domintation and bullying among friends it might have been acceptable |

while dubai said what he did in an exaggerated way, I'm still sure they largely represent his views that women don't really have much of a place in football.
I agree with that but obv ppl are baiting for reactions.

I don't think Charlotte Jackson complained did she? Think he brushed it off as the joke that it was and carried on with her work. It's just surfaced as a way to get rid of Gray. It's not been out there on the internet since the incedent.

the first 25 seonds of that they are talking about whether she might be attractive or not - have you never done that about a female colleague or associate? |

I can believe he is sexist but do you honestly believe he thinks that females just can't understand the offside rule? He's saying the words 'what do women know about the offside rule?' but he clearly means 'women have no place in football'. So in answer to your question, no I don't think he really thinks all women don't understand the rule. |

I'm sure there is something else here.
Didn't Keys apologise in Private?
I think Sky asked them both to apologise, Keys did, Gray refused (cos he's stupid). Keys keeps his job. Sky pull out all the other crap they have on Gray to ease public in.

I see what's happened here.
You were all behaving like the cavemen you are, then in popped Cavewoman with her club, and suddenly, everyone was "joking".
Nice backtracking boys. Must admit, I've rarely seen men pull out of a hole quicker than some of you managed it on here.
My work here is done, I'm going back over to Cos's diary to find the poison dwarf Pleno.
Carry on.
