Good to see Andy 'Mr Premiership' Gray given his p45 today. ;D
He shouldn't be punished for making what amounts to a private matter off air (though the thought of him sizing up a woman half his age as he visualises his corpulant frame grunting its way to climax is enough to make anyone vomit). But his view that the effectiveness of a referees assistant should be judged on whether that person has a Y chromosome or not makes him appear unable to form a rational or intelligent assessment.
Good riddance to the smug oaf.

It wasn`t that that they sacked him for, it was from a while ago when he asked a female co-presenter to stuff his microphone pack down his shorts, the recent thing somehow brought that into the spot light. It`s been on Talk Sport all afternoon, they have a clip of the offending comments.

I thought Talksport was where he'd end up (despite who owns it)!
Never mind Andy, there's still Channel 5 ;D

I might give my views on this latter, but it might be best I do it very late when you are all in bed.  |

I thought I would test the water and play Devil’s advocate at tea tonight and suggest that maybe women don’t know the offside trap and perhaps they were right.  You will be glad to know I did survive, just. It also appears that I am wrong and that they both know the offside rule perfectly well, which did actually surprise me a bit but don’t tell them that, although neither of us were exactly sure what happens when the keeper goes up past 2 defenders? Does one of the outfield players then become the ‘goalkeeper’ in this example and then you have to be level with the last defender (who is actually the 2nd last defender)? The active/non active bit confuses everyone, or rather is interpreted differently by everyone, so that doesn’t count. To be fair though my wife didn’t understand the offside rule, then again she doesn’t know any of the rules although she did raise an eyebrow when we talked about ‘interfering’, even so on that basis 1 out of 3 women don’t know the offside rule. |

So, Rich, you don't know the offside rule and you like Take That. Next you will be telling us you don't like pies and beer. |

his ignorance and arrogance did for him,we have had some damned awful jokers called referees all men at plainmoor,i cant possibly see a female who is good at the job being as bad as some of them we have seen.There will no doubt be an explosion of young ladies wanting to become referees just to prove a point,good,if there good enough who cares?i would laugh my borrox off if a woman presenter replaced him ;D
