Farewell Andy, thanks for the memories

[crodonilson]

Sad day for football fans the country over yesterday with the sad news that Andy Gray has lost his job, we will miss his banter with Richard and Jamie, his cutting edge analysis and his last word where he told us the truth on the big matters of the weekend.

May this much loved duo be reunited at some point in the future...

Farewell Andy, thanks for the memories, and in your own words 'take a bow son'

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Time to move on.

Couldn't stand the man. Glad he's gone but do feel it's all been a bit blown out of proportion.

Sure Andy, close the door behind you.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Not just Liverpool but the Premierships Liverpool.

TOSSER

 

[HP Seagull]

Absolute moron of a 'pundit'. Cheerio Andy.

 

[Jam The Man]

Best thing to happen to Sky Sports since the red button...

Well, you take your job into your own hands when you sue a newspaper that happens to owned by the same company that is the largest shareholder in your current employers and who are actively seeking to become the majority shareholder or your current employers.

I didnt realise so many people hated him. I liked him, he was part of me growing up with the game of football.

Maybe he can now move on and carve a career dedicated to sexist comments and stereotypes, much like this lot have done

Thing is you expect it with loose women. It does what it says on the tin.

You do not expect it from a so called "professional" sports broadcaster.

That point has been rasied several times in the last couple of days. Apparently when a woman does it's humour but when a man does it's banter. Frankly Loose Women is the best reason to switch off your TV since Big Brother.

so why is it ok to have a whole tv show dedicated to sexist comments and stereotypes, if its women talking about men? but an off air comment has the whole nation in anger?

If you've ever worked in a mixed workplace, you know the answer: because it's all part of a culture of sexism and bullying, which ensures that women can't be confident at work. You can switch off Loose Women; if you work with Andy Gray, you can't switch him off. You either confront him and risk harming your career, or you let it pass and feel humiliated.

At the risk of sounding trite. This.

Banged (sorry, 'smashed') the wife of one of his closest friends as well (he was best man at their wedding).

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke.

Good work that man!!!

That is class!

should carve that on his gravestone!

 

[Rookie]

The real issue in this whole thing is the amount of money Gray was on, absolutely bloody ridiculous. Did anyone actually watch his 'last word' or all the gumph on Monday Night Football?

Quality comment from him, quality comment from you.
