Andy Gray dismissal, fair or not!

[netibiza]

I think there are double standards at Sky cos kay Burley remained after she practically trottled another woman reporter!

[joeluke]

Pathetic, sacked over a few sexist comments

Sky's Charlotte Jackson is hardly a shrinking violet, I bet she loved any sexist comments made to her......not all women are offended by such comments you know

......and as for his other indescretion, he's right about most women and the offside law.......if women want to be referees/linesmen then they should officiate in womens football matches, not mens football where they are likely to attract dogs abuse from players and the crowd

[jackthehat]

But SHE wasn't bothered by *any* abuse, joeluke...........and she certainly was right in her call as to the 'off-side' incident.

[milly143]

Everyone on a football pitch is subject to abuse from the fans. The players, the ref, the (male) linesmen, the managers. Everybody. It doesn't matter a hoot if she is a woman as long as she thinks she can stick the abuse, like the rest of them do.

LOL, LOL, LOL

[anneasquith]

the whole episode has gone OTT. if the women stayed where they belong, ie, in the kitchen,the boys could say anything they like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joggerjayne]

When Charlotte Jackson was doing her "girl on girl" photo spreads

(as she herself described them)

... I presume the team with whom she worked ...

... never made any sexual innuendo remarks at all ...

... none ... whatsoever.

Err ...

[joggerjayne]

anne ...

I think the only time I've been in my kitchen recently was when my BF came to stay, and I realised it was the only room in my flat in which we hadn't "done it" ...

... so we "christened" the work surface.

Oh, no ... that's not quite true ... I go in there to make coffee, sometimes.

[jackthehat]

But AG probably wasn't suing NoTW (another of Murdochs 'organs') at that time.......he is now.

[joggerjayne]

What is NoTW ?

[anneasquith]

two much info JJ.

[jackthehat]

News of the World.................he believes his 'phone was hacked and is taking legal action against News International.

News of the Screws JJ

[Dris]

Still think SKY must be rubbing their hands with glee that he gave them the oppo on a plate -result for them I suspect.
Wonder who from SKY 'leaked' the extra evidence hmmmm -let me think....

[joggerjayne]

Sorry, anne.

Oh, yes ... News Of The World ... duuh, me !!

[David90]

Get rid of Richard Keys as well. Bring back Rodney Marsh.

[wolf63]

I really can't understand the media time given to this non-incident. They said nothing sinister - only stupid comments in the wrong place.

It is never the 'victim' that cries foul in such incidents - a third part always seems to report the non-pc incident.

I have read and heard some very amusing jokes that have been derogatory to men - why don't I feel bad about doing so?

Bah!

[askyourgran]

I don't agree with women taking any part in mens' sports. If they want to play or act as lineswomen, coaching, do commentaries etc, let it be with their own womens leagues. Leave men to their own sport. Why some women feel they have to compete with men in everything? Let's have some division of the sexes please.

AG was wrong with his remarks, but that wouldn't have been a problem if she hadn't been there.

[Invictas]

He (and Richard Keays) are antiquated mysoginistic leviathans (hows that for a phrase!LOL) who should be launched on their dated ships and allowed to sink slowly into the sunset!
