mcsilks Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Keys and Gray merely said what many others were thinking. Keep women out of football I say. It's a mans game. I may be prehistoric in my views but I simply don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be prehistoric in my views but I simply don't care. Yes you are completely prehistoric and pathetic. Just because they said it and just because other people agree with it doesn't mean it is in any shape way or form a right thing to say...Many people would have agreed with what Ron Atkinson said about Deassailly, but does that make that right too??? Of course not, just like this isn't right. Sack them both, get them both in front of their own Sky cameras, get them to apologise to everyone and then sack them.

Alex W Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I am fine with female referees an linesman, which though a little odd, would be fine as long as they were good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkRam Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'm not sexist and I'm all for equal rights. So when I can get my car insurance with Sheila's wheels they can play football with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perky1106 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Can't anyone see it was a joke? If anyone things they were genuinely being sexist then they're ridiculous. People need a sense of humour transplant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's kinda right though, women aren't allowed to play with men at proffesional level, so why should the F.A feel in necessary to for them to officiate? Bet she has been fast-tracked ahead of male linesmen aswell. That wouldn't be sexist though - it's equality, isn't it? Maybe not. I don't care.

Football should be played by the best and officiated by the best. For obvious reasons, we'll almost certainly never have female players in the proffesional game. But if there are female officials out there who are better than some of the game's top male officials, then they should be officiating. It's as simple as that for me.

I was only saying that his comment wasn't as stupid as everyone thought. A few years ago a Swedish female was going to be signed by a male proffesional team (in Germany i think) but FIFA blocked it. Does anyone know if she was fast-tracked or not. I'm sure she was a lino at PP only a few months back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorksopRam Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Andy gray has been sacked .absolutely ridiculous More stuff uncovered aswell, apparently.

Wonder if he'll do an ITV2 series coaching girls football teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerous Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 apparently there was an incident last December. Looks like they wanted him out at any cost.If this means jamie redknapp is on my tv more I will cancel sky sports.I cannot stand that smarmy tw@t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghRam Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 whether we don't like him or not it's ridiculous that he's been sacked. He hardly said anything anyway it was basically all Keys and Andy Burton. They clearly just wanted Gray out and this is an excuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuespachRam Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Andy gray has been sacked .absolutely ridiculous The only thing that is ridiculous is that they havent sacked Keys too, his comments were terrible. Have you actually listened to what they said.? i cannot stand Rio Ferdinand but he has got it spot on when he calls them both prehistoric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Teale Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Its like a politican saying the wrong thing, he shouldn't have put himself in that position and people like sky have to show to be setting a very high standard. Have you heard it, I think its clear its not said in jest and he has been caught twice in the same day which I think left sky with one option. Pity as he was good at his job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
