Mountain out of a mole hill. We are all entitled to our personal views, or maybe we shouldn't allow any free speech.

I picked him up last year and he's one of the lads
Scapegoat as usual and I agree with some of his comments having played in the odd game with a female referee

It's all over for Andy Gray Sky have P45'd him - he made some sleazy remarks that are on You Tube
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/9373280.stm
Despite what I said in Post 2 I found him very sameish on Sky but this would be a great opportunity for the BBC to do a bit of cost cutting - run down the contracts of Lineker, Shearer, Hansen, Lawrenson, Dixon etc and hire Andy Gray with Graham Le Saux as his sidekick

Whether we privately agree with him or not (I don't by the way), he had to go. The precedent was set when Ron Atkinson used the N word several years ago. People in the public eye have to be seen to set a good example at all times, especially those who can influence young people. A generation of young boys will have seen these comments on You Tube and they can't be allowed to grow up thinking it is Ok to make sexist, racist or other derogatory comments on the TV.

He was trying to bite the hand that fed him by going after The News of The World, some very clever people out there to set him up like that.
Will probably get a morning slot on Talksport

So men get punished for a sexist jibe yet the females on 'Loose Women' constantly get away it week in week out.

Andy Gray & Richard Keys have signed up with Talksport. They'll have a slot between 10am and 1pm starting on Valentines Day.
