The bookies think Keyes will follow him out. Get Georgie Thompson on there, I could watch her all day.
It might sound extreme but could this see the end of Sky's monopoly over football? If they don't get the right presenters in it could turn proper **** like soccer am has. And who are they going to get in that can waffle on about total bollocks almost indefinitely?
It was brilliant when Lovejoy first started it, it was going downhill well before he left but it used to be great once upon a time. Sky can't go wrong on this one though, are any of us really going to stop watching live football on TV because of the presenter?? Gabby Logan has proven that we'll watch footy no matter who presents it
I only watch the big games on Sky anyway. I can't sit and watch a match I have no interest in unless its quality players. I wouldn't be able to watch something like Wigan v Stoke, it would bore me to tears.
Avsolutely ridiculous decision - whys everyone pussyfooting around, theres no place in MENS football for woman officials. We dont have female players playing in mens footie so why officials? They wont be able to keep up with the game physically. Political correctness gone mad. Plus anyone would laugh at that womans FA Cup game - the standard of play was hilariously bad!
I don't see the fuss myself. Are women officials going to be any worse than those jokers we had vs. Reading at the KC? Mike Riley? Stuart Atwell? Uriah Rennie? I couldn't give a rats arse who's officiating as long as they get the decisions right.
Don't want to come off sounding all gay or high and mighty, but I think he had to go, there is a massive push on equality in football at all levels, mainly aimed at racism but this has to apply to all elements of equality. Can you imagine if it'd been a racist joke about a black linesman, that would've been game over son no questions asked. Glad the prick is gone
Another one's been leaked http://fourfourtwo.com/blogs/fourfourtwoview/archive/2011/01/25/keys-in-hot-water-after-another-video-is-leaked-online.aspx Keys has got to go now, after sacking Gray for the same offence! Saying that i've seen many a ref give 2 different judgments on nearly identical fouls/tackles either way, them 2 must have pissed somebody off at Sky recently for all these videos to suddenly all be leaked at the same time. Hilarious!
Didn't I hear Andy Gray is in some kind of legal spat with the News of the World... owned by Rupert Murdoch and suddenly the Sky archives keep getting released in public... Wonder who owns them...?
You're absolutely right mate but that doesn't explain why this latest video would be leaked. This one only features Keys yet he's done nothing to upset the Murdoch Empire. here's the Andy Gray vs News of the World story anyway: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/press/sky-sports-andy-gray-determined-to-settle-score-documents-show-2178131.html# Almost makes you feel sorry for arrogant jock tit... almost
He's a prick and i'm glad to see the back of him. Let's see him try and manage a football team and see how Mr Know it all gets on in the real world.
Yeah that's always been my thoughts on him. If he's so knowledgeable why isn't he managing a top team to success every week? 1.7 million a year might help I guess, but, I really don't think he'd last 2 mins as a manager. Didn't he do a bit as a deputy at Villa or something briefly? Oh I'm not sure I'd call being a manager or anything else in football being in the real world btw
Actually, I was only thinking yesterday that it was about time SKY looked at replacing Andy Gray and Richard Keys. Gray was playing in the 70's wasn't he and I am sure it would freshen things up a bit with some of the more recent ex players and younger broadcasters. They are certainly getting a bit stale!
