to be fair why can journalists get away with slagging us as a club(hence indirectly slagging the people who work for us off) with only an apology and not be banned. Why because this official is a bird is it worse than that or any player swearing at any ref, yet they don't get severely punished?

reeks of double standards so therefore I don't agree with his dismissal when he gets such a severe punishment compared to anyone else who is completely unprofessional in their football related job.

Sorry for shouting, but HE HAS BEEN SACKED FOR SUGGESTING TO A JUNIOR FEMALE COLLEAGUE THAT SHE PUT HER HANDS DOWN HIS PANTS

It's ridiculous that he has been sacked for this.

These leaks are an obvious witchunt, he wasn't representing SkyTV during the time that the cameras were off, he was joking around with his mates. Some fucking cowardly twat decided to maliciously release this footage purely to get him the sack.

I disagree with the whole notion that him making sexist remarks, off camera, means that he should be sacked as a football pundit. Nobody is tuning into Andy Gray for ethical discussion, they are doing so for football analysis. This has never hurt the ability to do his job, and it's a woman move by Sky to do it, hope he gets picked up by ESPN as soon as. It's popular to slag him off simply because he is so popular, but at the end of the day, he's a good pundit and the voice of football in this country.

Sky has lost a top pundit here for absolutely no reason. Trust me, the 'big games' won't feel the same from now on. Gray/Tyler gave the footage a big game feel, and nobody will notice this until it's too late.

so would you sack me for that comment?

No, but depends on the circumstances...depends on whether it was the first time you said it, your tone and demeanour when saying it, who heard you and whether it was intended to incite trouble with female colleagues...the point being you would create an uncomfortable atmosphere which could impact on the working environment

well here,s one for you"women dont play football for any premier league teams because they aren,t good enough"

just got fifa 2012 it's great when the wife picks up the controller Andy Gray shouts 'get back in the F*****g kitchen.'

I'm actually shocked at how little sympathy there is within the footballing world for him. Just been reading what the journo's on Twitter are saying and most seem to be actually rubbing salt into the wounds...I've always hated the twat, but it's good to know he's universally disliked...

Couple of pertinent points raised though -

If Sky are having a sexism purge, are they getting rid of the weekly Soccerette feature?

And

How long before AG starts getting linked with managerial jobs?

He ain't my voice, nor is he the voice of most of the people i know who watch the game. If anything he's often been described as a parody of himself. Maybe he was good 10 years ago, but not now...

They'll give Rednapp the job who IMO is a much better pundit...

Sorry.

Good point, well mdae. Many will miss it, though.

Thought the videos was innocuous and the funky zoom in zoom out effect going looks not like some sort of transmission distortion, but some sort of effect put on a video by powerful video processors, like you might have in a major commercial btroadcast studio, say. Anyway, I'm calling bullshit.

I don't agree with what he said, but sooner Andy Gray than that idiot Ron 'The N Word' Atkinson
