Guest Roger Kint Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 The Talksport moral outrage rumbles on today. they seem oblivious to the fact their own radio station were begging for calls/texts from listeners on Saturday for jokes and disparaging remarks about female officials BEFORE Gray and Keys said a word. Still we are talking about a station which regularly had text/call topics about peoples porn collections from 4pm weekdays Theres going to be some major when Gray and/or Keys start regular work on their station in the coming months..........

STM Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Not fussed about the whole female linesman/cheeky sexual joke nonsense. I'm just happy that two people who have massive influence over football fans have gone. Time for new ideas and new people IMO... even if Jamie "fucking" Redknapp is his replacement.

Guest neesy111 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Sacked football pundit Andy Gray plans to sue Sky Sports for £3 million for unfair dismissal and breach of contract, it has been claimed. According to The Mirror, the ex-footballer was with his legal team yesterday discussing a possible lawsuit against his former employer after he was fired following off-air sexist comments he had made in discussion with presenter Richard Keys. It is claimed that Gray is seeking payment for the remainder of his contract, believed to be in the region of £1.7 million a year. Gray yesterday issued a statement through his lawyers Schillings, which read: "I am very sorry that certain comments made by me have caused offence. Such comments were made off-air to work colleagues, and were of course never intended to be broadcast. "I was very upset when the comments were brought to my attention, and it was my intention to apologise on Monday night when I was back on air for the Bolton v Chelsea game. "Sadly I was unable to do so as I was suspended from the show by Sky Sports and have now been sacked. Football is my life and I am devastated by losing the job that I love. I am equally upset that third parties have been dragged into this issue." A source added: "He feels very down and a little embarrassed about everything. Exactly how you'd feel if you had just been sacked from a job you loved. It doesn't feel like he got a second chance or was allowed to apologise." Keys yesterday quit his job at Sky Sports for his own comments about female assistant referee Sian Massey, adding that "going forward without Andy would have been almost impossible". http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/broadcasting/news/a300468/andy-gray-will-sue-sky-sports-for-gbp3m.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 He hasn't got a leg to stand on, surely? Offensive comments made in the workplace, and how can Sky be expected to have people on screen who have been so publicly shown to be sexist morons?

Ronaldo Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I must say, unscripted Keys is a really good talker. Remove him from that deadpan Lineker-like role and he'd probably be watchable/listenable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously thinks he works in football, where you get sacked on a whim and receive a pay-off. Unfortunately, you work[ed] in the media Andy, which is part of the real world and in the real world when you get sacked it's for a reason and you get jack shit. In fact the best you can hope for is that your previous employer won't poison the well for you with subsequent employers and if you can get away with never having to mention it again you thank your lucky stars! They'll have sacked him for gross misconduct and he won't have a hope in hell of getting a judgement against them, he'll have signed a contract that says he agrees to abide by the company's equality and diversity policies and he clearly hasn't done that, meaning they're entirely within their rights to get rid of him. Apart from anything, just how stupid does he think they are? They'll have had their lawyers on this and will have been certain they had a watertight case before they did it and I'd bet my arse that Sky's lawyers are fucking dinosaur!

Were any disciplinary procedures followed? Did he get the chance to state his case? Why did Sky take no action after that previous incident? Considering his comments were not made in a public (ie broadcast) context, were his comments sufficiently serious to warrant dismissal without due procedure? Were other sexist comments made off air by other presenters / producers / cameramen on a regular basis with no action taken? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
