Andy Grey sacked (Merged)

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Source?

 

[Twinkle Toes]

What do you call a sexist old tosser who's lost his job & his Keys?

 

[Badger]

Not even a quick half second glance at the top threads?

 

[franks brother]

You're right, this was a very big call and I agree they have got it wrong. I'm not sure it was her opting out either, looking at the statement my guess it was pressure from the Officials Board, and possibly even the two clubs. It sounds as if every photographer was booked in to cover this match, with all cameras trained on her. They have decided she had become the story, but a good official has lost a match for nothing. I'd have just let her do the match, to pull her out is patronising.

Crewe Alexander now have about 2,000 sandwiches and pies going spare that they had ready for all the media that were due to turn up

 

[Aldo]

Oh no how else will they find another half-wit to play with machines, state the complete obvious, and pretend football started in 1992?

Brilliant, the bloke is a tool.

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Cobblers....I am hairless and my baldness has often been the source of many a piss take.....for goodness sake this is PC gone mad....lighten up people these things were said off air to workmates and anyone that gets offended needs to have a serious paranoia check!!!

 

[The French Mistress]

How can you say good riddance? Andy Gray is one of the best pundits around and has great knowledge about the game.

Difference between having great knowledge of the game and talking a good game. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke, let's have an English summa

 

[The French Mistress]

riser talking about the English Premier League.......don't know what happened there !

 

[Sussex Nomad]

So who is going to start the first rumour thread that Gus is on his way... to Skysports?

 

[Acker79]

I hope they don't replace him full time with Big Sam.

 

[smudge]

No more quotes, such as, "He's a footballer, & I call him a footballer, cos that's what he is". You need to hear the voice to get the full impact of what utter gibberish that man speaks.

I can see ESPN snapping him up to replace Tommy (the auld onion bag) Smyth, (with a Y). Now, if you're talking about tool's, he beats Gray.

 

[Yoda]

Let's hope they get one of the quality ITV pundits in to replace him

I'm still trying to think of one.

 

[Nigella's Cream Pie]

Is it time for a female pundit?

 

[Beach Hut]

Good news as finally that idiot is sacked.

 

[Marc]

I think we need a POLL as to whether he was actually liked! Personally I thought he was cack.....good riddance I say!

 

[Westdene Wonder]

Its ridiculous that a private conversation that in error was broadcast has led to a sacking, go to most pubs who were showing the game, or join a bunch of lads watching the game at home and you would have heard virtually word for word,it appears you are not only allowed to say what you think but also cannot have an opinion.

 

[mistahclarke]

Good job Im self employed I might get the sack otherwis... on Twitpic

 

[HseagullsH]

Couldn't agree with you more mate, i don't understand why so many people seem to hate him! He needs everything there is to know about football.

I liked him too but seems we are in the huge minority here

Not a fan of Richard Keys though, so it's the wrong way round for me.

 

[seagullsoverlincoln]

Guilty of the eleventh commandment-though shalt not get caught. Take a friggin bow now son

 

[armchairclubber]

Is it time for a female pundit?

I would.
