if they did get rid of him would he have received a bigger pay off though as opposed to a payoff for disciplinary purposes?

But they already had enough to sack him with the Charlotte Jackson video.

Study up, he was fired for a different incident.

Second incident was way way worse than the first,it was a sackable offence on its own

There's still a few dinosaurs left with attitudes like that but attitudes have changed in the last 20 or so years. Same here. Sexism still exists and probably always will, doesn't mean we should put with it because men get discriminated against in other areas.

If the women was sexually harassing Andy Gray I'd question her sanity but yeah, it is still sexual harassment.

Spanish football supporters rejoice. No more of Mr Gray and his poxy last word.

sorry , only heard about that incident in the past ten minutes , my post was based entirely on the audio incident with keys

MrStuffins

there's no way Keys should go for what he said. An apology should suffice.

Andy Burton's suspension is a joke too. He didnt say anything bad.

But Andy Gray, you f*cking slimeball! After seeing that Charlotte Jackson clip i believe he deserves this sacking and every bit of bad publicity he gets from it.

I'd be surprised if Jackson's boyfriend, father or brother doesn't go around to his house and punch him in the face.

Interesting that reports suggest that Keys had phoned Massey and apologized while Gray did not.... the reason given? "no point in both of them calling".

Hrmmmm!!!

Thrill

Andy Gray to make statement shortly

dRNk SAnTA

I'll miss Andy Grey as Sky have absolutely nobody else decent to replace him.

strawberryb0y

People hoping to get a good new presenter should be wary that sky have always acted as though their viewers know nothing about football.

Richardson getting a job there would be very surprising.

It's an interesting point in fairness. I abhor Gray's and Keyes comments - they really sounded like buffoons. I'm guessing it was how serious they sounded rather than it being misinterpreted banter?

Haven't seen the news today but they were all over it yesterday which surprised me.

Good riddance to bad rubbish I say.

Leiva

I would say the happiest guy in the World right now is Andy Grays (ex)best mate ... He must be having a drink dancing around .

KeithAFC

Can't get away with that sort of tv if your working for a company like SKY.

I think both should be sacked. Both have made these sort of comments in the past. Get two new people in.

I'd imagine so, sky new have been covering it all the way. Don't ever underestimate sky's willingness to cover a story even if its about one of their own.

I think he'll be a bit more careful in what he says from now on and steer clear of anything sexist. He'll probably say something like "Life's a bitch"

I reallyliked Andy gray, and will miss him on Sky.

Think hes probanly a jackass off screen so hismouth got him in bother.

Think the sacking is OTT.

The_B_Man

It turns out your one was meant to be working tonight, but shes been recalled coz of the scandal by the FA, so wont be officiating. Thats a bit of a joke really. Punishing the victim.

Liam O

I'd say he'll wind up on ESPN or the likes, he wont have a problem finding a job tbh...

dilallio

Yes - Andy was a twat to do what he did.

BUT

Does anyone else think that it's more than a coincidence that at the same time that Andy Gray is involved in a legal dispute with The News of The World which is owned by Rupert Murdoch's son, stupid & sexist comments which he made off-air, suddenly appear and gets him sacked.

Doubt it,no on will touch him with a bargepole.

I hope he gets a job doing match color commentary like he was doing with Sky. He is very good at it.

How come there are no birds on sky tonight just some clown on his own, are they on strike

Leiva

Just got a text from a mate ...

I think Andy Gray & Richard Keys should both be sacked for their disgraceful sexist comments..... & both be replaced by birds with really big tits

to the tin-Foil hat brigade:

Who cares if he was set up? even if everything you say is true, it doesn't change the fact that what he did was a disgrace and he should've been sacked when it happened anyway.

It's sexual harrassment! Nothing more to it!

niallo27

So, Andy Gray's been fired for sexist comments on air.Surely, the whole cast of Loose Women should be fired to!?

Here's the latest one.
I think it's PC madness. If Charlotte made an official complaint it would be different I suppose, but I don't think she did otherwise it would have been reported I'd imagine?
I really want Keyes gone now though too, I can't stand him. Does anyone have time for the ware-wolf?

Somebody posted a copy of the original comments to a Sunday rag to get the ball rolling.

His big mouth did the damage no doubt but the comment he was apparantly sacked for was made in Dec 2010.

Yeah go on tell us. I don't get how that is sexual harassment. Its really harmless stuff.

niallo27 wrote: »

The one where he appears (or pretends) to take his penis out and asks Charlotte Jackson to "Tuck it in" for him.

Sexual harrassment. if it was your sister or your mother you'd be fuming! If not, I have no idea what kinda bloke you are!

Have you ever worked in an office full of women, or in a kitchen with a load of olde birds, now that's sexual harrassment
