I was wrong. Sky Sports did the right thing and sacked Andy Gray. Richard Keys quit, apologising at first but then bizarrely quoting "dark forces" forcing his resignation.
Keys said: “With success comes envy. The clips you have seen are fairly selective. They have targeted two individuals."
I'm sure it's a conspiracy, Richard. It's absolutely NOT because you're a nob.
This is the blog. A career-minded feminist with a good UK government job meets a handsome American man with a better US Government job. Add one ruby ring and a house on Capitol Hill. Result: a protracted struggle with the US immigration system. And a lot of down time...

Feminists - lace up yer boots!
Sky Sports football commentators Andy Gray and Richard Keyes, were caught off-air in this conversation about female Line Referee, Sian Massey, during the recent Wolves vs Liverpool match:
RK: “Someone should get down there and explain the offside rule to her”
AG: “Can you believe that? A female linesman. Women don’t know the Offside Rule”
RK: “Course they don’t. I can guarantee you there will be a big one today. Kenny [Dalglish] will go potty. This isn’t the first time, is it? Didn’t we have one before?”
...
RK: “The game’s gone mad. Did you hear charming Karen Brady this morning complaining about sexism? Do me a favour, love.”
Don't believe me? Hear the audio recording here.
Will these morons be sacked? Nah. Would they be sacked if they had made racist comments about players? Yep.
Here's a link to explain the Offside Rule for people who are not qualified Line Referees. No doubt it will also greatly assist any qualified Line Referees who are also female.
