tneafry Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1349729/Sky-Sports-presenters-sexist-diatribe-female-linesman-Apprentice-star-Karren-Brady.html Sky Sports presenters Andy Gray and Richard Keys were at the centre of a sexism row last night after they questioned whether a female linesman knew the offside rule during a Premier League football match. The commentators, who apparently believed their microphones were switched off, were recorded making disparaging remarks about Sian Massey, 25, before Liverpool?s Premiership clash with Wolves yesterday. They also criticised Apprentice star and West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady who had yesterday written about sexism in a newspaper column. Commenting on Ms Massey, Mr Keys said: ?Somebody better get down there and explain offside to her.? Mr Gray, a former Scottish international footballer, replied: ?Can you believe that? A female linesman. Women don?t know the offside rule.? Mr Keys replied: ?Course they don?t. I can guarantee you there will be a big one today. Kenny (Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish) will go potty. This isn?t the first time, is it? Didn?t we have one before?? Assistant referee Sian Massey The Sky presenters made disparaging remarks about assistant referee Sian Massey Later in the exchange, Mr Keys said: ?The game?s gone mad. Did you hear charming Karren Brady this morning complaining about sexism? Do me a favour, love.? Ms Brady had said she had ?experienced sexism at its rankest, lies about my personal life and a level of calculated mischief that is simply appalling?. Asked about the pundits? remarks, she said: ?I think this just sums up everything I said in my column.? During the game, which Liverpool won 3-0, Ms Massey angered Wolves by refusing to rule Raul Meireles offside before he set up Liverpool?s first goal. The replay showed that she made the correct decision. When The Mail on Sunday put the transcript to Mr Keys, he said: ?I have no recollection of that. I have no idea what you are talking about. 'My recollection is that I wished the young lady all the best.? When told a recording existed of the conversation, he said: ?If you have a tape then you don?t need me to talk to you.? Last night The Mail on Sunday sent a transcript and a copy of the recording to a Sky Sports spokeswoman. She was not able to confirm or deny the veracity of the clip, which was provided to this newspaper by an anonymous source. Mr Gray could not be reached last night.

The Merse Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Richard Keys is a hairy freak, and a complete ****** to boot. Andy Gray has been irritating me more year on year too. He either talks absolute shite or points out the bloody obvious and says it really loud to make his point clear. Would love Sky to re-jig things.

Mods, please change the title to "Keyes and Gray have a laugh and the lilly livvered mob get their hairnets in a ******* twist over it cos they've got **** all better to do". Thanks in advance. I need to get a grip? did you read it? i quote the first sentence of the article "Sky Sports presenters Andy Gray and Richard Keys were at the centre of a sexism row last night after they questioned whether a female linesman knew the offside rule during a Premier League football match." Thread title is mearly from the article. In their position they should probably know better and know if this was to get reported that people would kick up a stink. I think Keys and Gray should concnetrate on their own jobs of not pi$$ing people off and being incompetent at their own jobs rather than brinign out what seems to be the oldest joke in history that a woman doesn't know what offside is. The comments don't bother me personally, I just think they are not the most appropriate in their position. So I ask you, sifter, why should I be getting a grip?

I imagine the pile of death threats Stewart Lee got for his jerry springer opera show that to be true . Back to Keys and Gray given the comments attributed to them was recorded off air then do they really speak to each other as if they were 70s style Stand ups? For Keys to refer to Brady as Luv reminds me of a sherrif in the deep south calling the coloured man as boy !

LOL !! Is this the same Anfy Gray who constantly goes on about 'daylight' in 'close' offside decisions ? He played the game for 20 year s and still doesn't know the offside rule. At the game in question , the crowd were going mental at the female asst ref , screaming for offside but from my seat I could see the monitors of the journos and the goal was clearly a good decision. Had a good chuckle at the home fans going apopleptic until they saw Sky at half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
