Andy Gray Sacked

[sledge13]

Women don't understand football like we do though prewdiepants. If you're not a male you can't ever truly understand the male psyche. Likewise, after maybe primary school (if that) women never play football with guys, which is obviously a billion times the standard in many ways. Womens bodies aren't designed to do stuff in the same way as mens so they can never understand the game in the same way blokes can. For us its inbuilt, for them its learnt.

Gonna do a better post later when I'm not on the phone

There are several world class managers out there who didn't play football past their early childhood. They seem to understand the game just fine.

Understand the male phyche better, how men move better (i.e. how the physical side of the game works) and thus probably command a lot more respect as a leader than a woman would.

Psyche and physique? Wtf? Respect as a leader? No need for female doctors/nurses/psychologists/bosses/prime ministers then?

More importantly did you never see "The Manageress"?

Yeah she was well fit for an old bird...

LOL I know women that can play football better than you can. I'm going by your current shape and your description in your diary of your attempts to play football.

Some of the women footballers are excellent.

I was quite good when I was younger. There is a woman that does work for us in the holidays and she is built better than you and can play football better than I ever could.

When I heard (read) the commentary yesterday It sounded like a bit of boys banter to me...nothing I've not heard before and will definitely hear again as I stand in the Cop freezing my mitts off week after week...Still though, when I saw the clip that got him sacked I just though....ewwwww WHAT A LEACH!!!!

I'm actually looking forward to replacing the albatross with some fresh meat...I've been bored by AG's negativity for a while now.

FWIW I'm good with banter and the offside rule...surprisingly many women are ;oD

Yo cove I may have said it in a jokey way but I honestly believe women have no place in football as do probably most of the people who read this post. Obv some won't say so though

Every single female Chelsea fan I know knows the reason why Chelsea are associated with celery, after reading your answer in the Chelsea thread apparently you didn't,perhaps these female fans might be of the opinion that you have no place being in Stamford Bridge or calling yourself a Chelsea supporter if you don't even know basic stuff about Chelsea's history and the origins of certain traditions?

Andy Gray got sacked for making funny, tongue in cheek, stereotypical comments with colleagues who you would assume he is relatively close to.  I do that every day and have yet to be formally disciplined.

His facial expression when commenting on the female lino is totally irrelevant because, as anyone who has ever made a flippant, 'pretend to be serious' comment will know, this face is imperative to the success of said joke.  The recipient must believe you mean it...

If you watch closely, the microphone funny in the studio was met with a laugh from the female colleague.  Just as she goes off camera. Funny shit!

Some people need to get off their moral high horse and see these jibes as what they are.  Andy Gray's prowess as a pundit is totally irrelevant when he has been sacked for something everyone does in one way or another.

Mon the Gray!

+1  I said exactly this when I heard.  A sad day for sports.

What a joke to get the sack for some off air comments than any bloke might have said. Ok, so they were stupid, but so what.
