While I won't miss his punditry, he was well able for dramatic commentary, and that I'll miss. I had grown accustomed to it.

Have to agree with this, I actually like him and Martin Tyler commentating.

When was that?

Was off air in December. This has been reported on Sky News as the reason why.

Yeah Charlotte Jackson didnt look too pleased in that video after he said it, so no wonder he was sacked for that.

Will probably miss his co-commentary but wont miss his punditry.

Warper · 25-01-2011 5:35pm

Great news alright, Gray and Keys gone. Sky were left with no option. As much as they would have liked to keep them, they were under immense public pressure to sack them both.

Dean Windass? Seriously? Chap can't string two sentences together without stuttering 10 times.

Have to laugh at Dean Windass on his soccer saturday reports, hes clearly there for his novelty northern element.

Alan Smith is fairly good though, Don Goodman isn't bad either. Sky will pay top dollar to someone though, would Lawrenson up sticks I wonder?

Now that would be good news.

WHAT A HIT SON!!

Dozen Wicked Words · 25-01-2011 5:37pm

I thought Alladyce was actually very good last night, didn't talk too much and wasn't full of too many cliches.

Has Keys gone as well? Would be great if he was as I cant stand him as a presenter.

I know people threaten to cancel Sky and berate it all the time, but if this means Jamie Redknapp gets promoted to co-commentator, I will set my fúcking television on fire I swear to God.

SantryRed · 25-01-2011 5:38pm

Keys isn't gone. Not yet anyways.

Leiva · 25-01-2011 5:38pm

Getting the sack is a bit much ..I reckon they have more on him or something else is about to hit the media.

Mars Bar · 25-01-2011 5:38pm

And Ms. Massey has been withdrawn from the game she was supposed to be officiating tonight...

He was fairly crap I thought.

Martin Tyler: Josh McEachran is coming on, won the youth cup last year with Chelsea.

2 minutes later,

Big Sam: I think Chelsea won the youth cup last year didn't they.

Nuts. Whatever the rights or wrongs of this, my only hope is that Richard Keys is sacked. I hate the man.

Yeah she didn't looked too pleased, as can be understood, fair play to her for ignoring it,

What a disgusting way to act towards the girl, he deserved the sack for that, I hope she reported him at the time and now it has come back to bite him in the ass.

Banjaxed82 · 25-01-2011 5:40pm

Himself, Rodney Marsh, Ron Atkinson and all the other disgraced should set up a rival sports channel.

In all reality, not a sackable offence.

Nothing wrong with reminding us who won the Youth Cup last year.

what the fúck's the point?!

it's like getting rid of Laurel, but keeping Hardy.

get rid of Keys GODAMMIT!!!!!!!

SantryRed · 25-01-2011 5:41pm

I don't know how anyone can complain about Gray's sacking after the Charlotte Jackson clip. He had to go for that! No doubt about it.

ntlbell · 25-01-2011 5:42pm

hopefully it will put an end to that awful bollox they started doing on MNF.

It would take them months to re-train someone to use that stupid ****ing machine !! :pac:

Sir Oxman · 25-01-2011 5:42pm

Glad he's gone, might listen to Sky commentary now.

bennyx_o · 25-01-2011 5:43pm

Sky have sacked football presenter Andy Gray with immediate effect.

The pundit had already been disciplined for sexist comments made about female referee Sian Massey before Saturday's match between Wolves and Liverpool.

The 55-year-old and colleague Richard Keys were stood down for Monday's match between Bolton and Chelsea.

And on Tuesday, Sky said they terminated Gray's contract "in response to new evidence of unacceptable and offensive behaviour".

Sky's statement continued: "The new evidence, relating to an off-air incident that took place in December, 2010, came to light after Andy Gray had already been subjected to disciplinary action for his comments of 22 January, 2011."

Sky Sports managing director Barney Francis said: "Andy Gray's contract has been terminated for unacceptable behaviour. After issuing a warning yesterday, we have no hesitation in taking this action after becoming aware of new information today."

Sian Massey has been withdrawn from the Bradford V Crewe game tonight.

Wow didnt see this coming at all. I wonder if keys will walk if he doesnt get fired

Yeah but isn't it suspicious that it suddenly emerged? Something about this is very dodgy.

Well being 2 immature, out dated twats isn't sackable, the comments are a disgrace. It's like something a teenage lad would say with a few lads around for show, most of us grow out of it.

You need a lobotomy if you think gray is sexiest.

Gone Drinking · 25-01-2011 5:47pm

They probably knew about the other clip the whole time, but just threw it out there for an excuse to sack one but not the other.

Otherwise they'd have to have sacked both of them

smokedeels · 25-01-2011 5:47pm

Will EA release a new a patch to remove him from Fifa?

I'm playing my Career mode in the Bundesliga and I'm sick of hearing about the time he nearly signed for Schalke.... but didn't.

folan · 25-01-2011 5:47pm

wonder if they will take him off FIFA 12. I hate him on FIFA games.

String · 25-01-2011 5:48pm

Was was Sian massey withrawn from the match tonight? Is it coincidence?

bamboozling · 25-01-2011 5:49pm

All the shouting for Kammy is a bit silly because after 3 games people would grow weary of his silliness.

To be honest all I want is someone with a clear voice, a knowledge of the game and someone who can give insightful analysis.

Surely that's not too much?

Dave! · 25-01-2011 5:49pm
