Thread for continued speculation on l'affaire KEYSY etc, rolling reactionary stupidity/misogyny/prejudice in football

Think they shd probably get rid of Keys too unless they want this shit to look slightly conspiracy-esque.

He's got himself into an awkward position there, and he's just said to the boss: "Go on then, put this fat face out of a job."

TIK A BOO

in all seriousness it's amazing if they keep keys and lose gray. at least gray attempts to offer insight. keys is just a smug dickhead, and what he said was way worse.

"new evidence of unacceptable behaviour" says guardian. presumably hence why it's not keys as well - guess they checked his internet history.

apparently they found new evidence of offensive behaviour. about twenty fucking years worth of it imo

dude'll be working MLS games in the states soon enough, watch :(

i look forward to seeing him on a dodgy internet feed this weekend

in all of this one has to wonder how richard 'keysy' keys is reacting on social media.

Sky Sports today terminated its contract with Andy Gray.

The decision, which is effective immediately, was made in response to new evidence of unacceptable and offensive behaviour.

The new evidence, relating to an off-air incident that took place in December 2010, came to light after Andy Gray had already been subjected to disciplinary action for his comments of 22nd January 2011.

Barney Francis, managing director of Sky Sports, said: "Andy Gray's contract has been terminated for unacceptable behaviour.

"After issuing a warning yesterday, we have no hesitation in taking this action after becoming aware of new information today."

may be this?

"The lewd scenes, involving fellow shamed colleague Richard Keys, show the pundit asking Sky Sports News presenter Charlotte Jackson to tuck a microphone pack down his trousers. Gray suggestively asks Jackson: ‘Charlotte, can you tuck this [microphone pack] down here for me love… Tuck this down here.’"

Sian Massey has apparently been withdrawn from the match she was meant to running the line on tonight.

WestwoodLee@RossKinnaird still the punishment doesn't seem to fit the crime. It's a PC world now. It's a shame cos he calls a game better than anyone.

Bet they used a Mac to send his you're fired email tbrr

Tik a Bow sun.

And the FA is now run by a Jew? A bad day. a Very bad day.

next their make a statue of justin fashanu riding a pink tiger

nearly posted to the premier league thread before i remembered the hoo-ha previously.

couldn't be happier that gray has been sacked.

i do hate the over-use of c**t on the premier league thread - is dick not sufficient? - but gray is probably the biggest cundick out there, with an ego in inverse proportion to his brain.

always loved/hated his explanation of formations on the graphics, when you new that he'd get one of the wide players to drop in behind the front man.

keys must be on borrowed time.

anyway, i'm behind my tractor boys tonight.

is dick not sufficient?

when you have cunt you want dick, and vice versa. faraway hills and all that.

sorry i've gone a bit "do us a favour love" there

ah bollocks

i didn't have a cunting clue what you meant anyway

whatever: cunted is an action of hitting the ball, we try to keep it to that

except when discussing john terry, andy gray et al.

anyway, good luck for the game tonight a hoy hoy.

rip andy gray

this is could do with being laid to rest in the ilf shitty memes graveyard tbrr

Keys presumably still on some level of disciplinary warning, Gray presumably now gone through every level of "STOP FUCKING DOING THAT" that he can before his HR department have no option but to terminate his contract.

srsly nobody cares about richard keys, even the scum rags aren't going to make a cause celebre out of the world's least memorable tv presenter

Don't see how you can go thru the levels retrospectively unless say you're also engaged in legal action against your employer.

Am just guessing as to previous, otherwise I'd reckon he might have a case for unfair dismissal.

yeah dunno how long the court case has been going on for or whether News International has routine black ops contingency plans for rogue presenters

srsly nobody cares about richard keys

I do, I've never liked him or his hairy ends, even when he was hosting the Tour de France on Channel 4 back in the 80s.

fwiw there is v little faux tudor shit in wilmslow, tho i appreciate you were channeling betjeman. i appreciated rio's echoing of ronan upthread, he is a shitLAD, w/ all the honour that goes w/ it

the literal shit-revelry; gratification as brought by enormous mounds of excrement within which one chooses to carouse

never read betjeman, wilmslow is just synecdoche for footballerland

and nb&s, of course people HATE richard keys, but i don't think many people care enough /for/ him

paradoxically, if he had become /more/ of a shouty clarksonite, he might get more support from the scum papers and the truelad.com contributors

as it is he is just some wallpaper that said some stuff

hairy wallpaper

the osborne family fortune iirc

one of my friends has expressed his fury (via the medium of Facebook) at Gray's sacking on the grounds that he will inevitably rinse them for £millions in an unfair dismissal lawsuit, which will cause the price of Sky Sports subscriptions to rise

not sure he's given this the close analysis it warrants tbh

betjeman is a fucking stain on our literary character

abominable poet

idk what the notional ref to betj is other than sneering at suburbia via condensed signifiers like mocktudor, which is kinda outdated since most upscale exurban development these days is pofaced quinlanite hackwork or barclays homes stuff distended by 800%

have seen metroland which i can kinda sympathize with but didn't really rate

the redknapp clip is as mentioned a new low

keys is /done/

the leamington lycanthrope has his jaw to the kerb and the righteous jackboot of the press will shortly do the rest
