Probably been taken out of context. I don't care who runs the match male or female as long as they get the decisions right.
Probably been taken out of context.
How would this be taken out of context?
Commenting on Ms Massey, Mr Keys said: ‘Somebody better get down there and explain offside to her.’
Mr Gray, a former Scotland striker, replied: ‘Can you believe that? A female linesman. Women don’t know the offside rule.’
Mr Keys replied: ‘Course they don’t. I can guarantee you there will be a big one today. Kenny (Liverpool manager Dalglish) will go potty. This isn’t the first time, is it? Didn’t we have one before?’
Later in the exchange, Mr Keys said: ‘The game’s gone mad. Did you hear charming Karren Brady this morning complaining about sexism? Do me a favour, love.’
Did they really say that in all seriousness or was it their idea of hilarious banter?![]()
I am going by the text in the Daily Mail - presumably the audio shall straighten things out, but I am ear mental.
Take my words back after listening to it. Bunch of pricks. About time they got replaced with younger presenters anyway, like they do to Female presenters on the BBC lol
How many times has Andy Gray displayed a complete lack of knowledge when it comes to the rules of the game? How many times have we heard him crapping on about "the last man" or "clear daylight between them" when talking about professional fouls or offside? Neither of these terms are anywhere whatsoever in the FA rule book.
Why on earth should any official, let alone Sian Massey, have to put up with that kind of shit? The worst thing is, the spotlight will be far more on her for her next game than it ever would have been otherwise, and her every move will be critically analysed by the sort of morons who scrape their knuckles along the same part of the cave that Keys and Gray do.
I've never seen anyone blame Howard Webb's failure to send off the Dutch bloke in the World Cup final on his balding head, or a harsh red card by Uriah Rennie coming down to him being black, so what has Sian Massey's ability got to do with her gender?
Made me quite irrationally angry that has![]()
(I might go and do some ironing to calm down)
