Andy Gray Sacked

[gatso]

I also vote that we hang me out to dry (though I can't see any way in which my post is insinuating that she's easy tbh, I may however go back and edit it so that it is)

[Bongo]

I thought it implied cos wanted to get his legover and that he'd need some luck to achieve this.

Mantis, deleted my post because 5 minutes after I wrote it I felt it was a bit too flamey. I offer an apology but trust that you won't need to take time off to recover.

The fuck-ed upness of the week to which I refer is not so much because it would upset her what two Sky blokes had to say, but about her whole life getting turned upside down as a result.

She may be used to getting shouted at by folk in the stands on a Saturday when she's doing the lino thing, but probably not so used to being shouted at by reporters on a Tuesday when she goes out to get some milk.
Also might be stressed with regard to her future in football and all kinds of other hassle that comes from being thrust into the public eye on such a scale.

I'll concede she might be taking it all in her stride, I don't know. Fair to describe her week as being pretty fuck-ed up though.

I have recovered now but at the time I was tearful and distressed

Maybe she did have some fuck-ed up week. My argument is the media want to sell us this continuous lady in distress story regardless of how far from reality it might be. Redknapp's ex who Keys asked if he smashed was tearful when she heard those comments, Charlotte Jackson was upset and angry about Andy Gray's remark, Sian Massey is devastated, both wives of the pundits are upset and confused. That's a whole lot of upset women. I kinda feel the media, which is owned by men, paint women in a rather emotionally weak way. It doesn't really matter whether Massey shed a tear or not. If the media emphasised the toughness of her character instead of the supposed weakness it would be more beneficial to the image of women. Strong and able to cope with anything. The media just want to feck Keys and Gray over so they're looking to exaggerate the upset caused. But the bi-product of their strategy is a negative spin on how women cope with adversity. That negativity keeps women out of the boardroom, and in this specific example prob discouraged a lot of potential young female refs from coming into the sport. Pretty ironic negative gender bias in the way the press have reported this story. Laughable really.

So sad

[Graham C]

Dunno, just been a top man from Talk Sport on who said that he's decided to leave the station.

Seems all of a sudden, he was on at the start of last week, then all of a sudden he was away, and now has left!  

looking at his Wiki page (obv the truth!) his show was scrapped and on the same day he quit the station.  Something funny is afoot!
