"..and i don't agree with that in the workplace"

The question is not so much about Andy Gray and Richard Keys being sexist or not, I think it’s about what you can and can’t say in the workplace, what you should and shouldn’t do in the workplace and above all what’s right and wrong.. The two of them are highly paid in a high profile job and whether the cameras are rolling or a tape is running they need to behave themselves at work. In most professions the kind of comments they made would be cause for action, therefore their positions amplify the situation. Richard Keys comments in front of Souness, Redknapp and Gullit brought to mind David Brent trying to impress Finchy with his laddishness in The Office, so cringe inducing were they. Clearly there are a lot of staff members at Sky who were waiting for an opportunity to burst the bubble of the old boy network. Their Super Sunday and MNF inane banter and woeful lack of insight was not enough to get shot of them (at the time of writing Keys is still in a job) but whatever the case, t...

The Sun Says no to Sexism

As the Sky sports soccer sexism saga staggers on the super soaraway Sun steps in with this measured and dignified view of the incident. Preparing for an interview in the build up to Liverpool's premier League game at wolves on Saturday, a pitch side reporter tells Gray: "Apparently a female Lino today, bit of a looker, according to Steve the Cameraman" Pulling a disgusted face , Gray says: "a female linesman?" The reporter replies: "he says she's all right. Now I don't know if I should trust his judgement on that" Gray snaps: "nah i wouldn't I definitely wouldn't" (copyright N Syson) Funny that; having seen her picture I would

Women know your limits

Silly girls running the line at football, I mean why do they do it? surely they would be happier at home crocheting a tea cosy or getting their legs waxed. After all its a bit cold to be out there in front of all those leering blokes. It's a good thing that Richard Keys and Andy Grey, The Cannon & Ball of sports broadcasting, were able to let the nation know the truth. tut tut, silly ladies wanting a bit of equality. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/01_04/sky.mp3 Keys & Gray's comments SKY's training for presenters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS37SNYjg8w Keys & Gray / Cholmley-Warner & Grayson

Hitting the wrong Keys

During an online streaming of Tuesday's Champions League coverage Richard Keys confirmed his dullard status by being caught on air during an online streaming of Tuesday's Champions League coverage slagging off Theo Walcott.At one point when Theo went down under a challenge, Keys was heard screaming, 'Get up, you stupid little boy'. He then added 'you’ve been s***e, son, in your daft pink boots - absolute rubbish.' Shades of Ron Atkinson. Keys is supposed to be a broadcaster of repute yet showed, by these comments, what most have known for a long time; He and Andy Gray are cemented into the fabric of Sky Sports and are unquestioned in their punditry, a punditry that has not moved forward an iota since the start of Sky’s ‘Alive and kicking’ coverage began. Add this to the aural orgasms omitted by the pair on Tuesday and you have a fitting match with the levels of stupidity reached (or should that be breached) by Talksport. If this seems like another attack on pun...
