Dinho lad Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'm starting to think that those rumours that came out a few years ago about Andy Gray sleeping with Martin Tyler's daughter were true now. (The rumours came out after Sky stopped using the Gray/Tyler combination for their live games.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mugatu Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Shame to be honest, always thought he made games sound more exciting than what they were. FIFA 12 won't be the same. Someone at EA is currently crying into their keyboard thinking of all the commentary that is going to need to be re-recorded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Can't believe people are surprised/annoyed really. I mean I expected the original thing to be swept under the carpet but once it was in the public domain and crucially other examples of sexist and/or misogynist behaviour from Gray were uncovered Sky were always going to have to act. His position was untenable. Anyone who is employed needs to look in their company's equal opportunities/discrimination policy and they'll see exactly the same kind of thing this decision has been based on. Disciplinary procedures (including dismissal if necessary) are the order of the day. It doesn't matter a jot that this stuff happened off air, he was at work and that's all that matters. The bigger the company, the more robust the rules. For a company in the public eye 24/7 like Sky then it was ultimately a no-brainer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised by the decision but disappointed that Keys hasn't gone with him. Highlights the real reasons behind the sacking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
