Richard Keys on Talksport - On in 10 mins

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Gray and Keys have destroyed what is probably the pinnacle of the assistant referee's career to date and turned it into a circus. She did nothing whatsoever to deserve that. Gray and Keys deserve all they get.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

If you've worked in a factory this kind of banter goes on all the time , it happens in real life , regardless.

I have, a while ago now. I am sure it does. But I bet times are changing there as well.

 

[Hiney]

Are you deliberately missing the point?

To clarify, say what you like to your mates and work colleagues when the cameras have stopped rolling, and in the pub. Don't talking about "hanging out the back of it" and "have you smashed that" when the cameras are rolling or about to roll in front of a full production crew and other guests.

I don't like "loose women" either. I don't particularly respect people who hand-wring and sneer and constantly blame other people for their own failings you see. But the day it comes to light that a member of Loose Women is caught asking about and mocking the size of the cock of another panelist's ex or something similar in a working environment is the day I'd expect that woman to be sacked. Until then, you're simply not comparing like for like.

This is real life and sexism is unacceptable in the workplace.

unacceptable , yes but it still goes on amongst the well less educated employees.

I was talking about the initial incident not the one you are referring to.

 

[Simster]

The fact is he is saying it is not acceptable, apologised 100 times and will lose is job and livelihood so its job done.

Ah well done, you seem to get it! Yes, justice has been served. He won't act like a complete tosser in his next place of work will he.

 

[The Spanish]

"she's a strong girl" - says it all. Totally betrays his deep rooted view of women

that they are strong?

 

[Simster]

I was talking about the initial incident not the one you are referring to.

Well you should be, because that's the incident he is losing his livelihood over, not the first one.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Ah well done, you seem to get it! Yes, justice has been served. He won't act like a complete tosser in his next place of work will he.

Well done Saint Simeon.

you make it sound like something properly bad has happened.

seriously though, in deserving all they get, it appears dismissal is being viewed as an appropriate punishment for workplace sexism. is it really though, really, really, just everyone whooping and going off off off like when its a sending off, and then happily cheering their own players on for committing similar fouls?

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Well done Saint Simeon.

Come off it Uncle. You are the one on your high horse.

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Missed this, anywhere I can re-listen online?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Keys sounds like a man who would resign if the money was right. Sky bosses should cut a deal and get rid.

 

[Marc]

Come off it Uncle. You are the one on your high horse.

he never FAILS to amaze me with his wisdom

 

[Simster]

Well done Saint Simeon.

But you're the saint aren't you Gareth? It's you writing your usual hand-wringing bollocks at the expense of others who have the temerity to disagree with you, that he deserves his punishment:

The holier than thou attitude and hypocracy of a lot of blokes on here is even more of a concern.

Absolutely pathetic.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

unacceptable , yes but it still goes on amongst the well less educated employees.

Sexism has nothing to do with levels of education.

A female partner in a huge law firm was being paid less than the other 36 partners (all of which were male) and then they ousted her when she became pregnant. If anything, this is another high profile case and perhaps more people will start treating people as equals regardless of race, gender, disability and so on.

 

[Tooting Gull]

Frankie Boyle next in the chair?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Come off it Uncle. You are the one on your high horse.

Not really but I pretty much agree with everything The Spanish has said. Everyone on here is making out they are perfect and have never made an error of judgement or done something they regretted. Anyway the pack has got what they wanted, Blood has flowed and he has been well and truely flagulated in front of the UK public.

 

[El Presidente]

Compared to what Gus says on Twitter this is small beer shirley?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

But you're the saint aren't you Gareth? It's you writing your usual hand-wringing bollocks at the expense of others who have the temerity to disagree with you, that he deserves his punishment:

Absolutely pathetic.

Oh the irony.
