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

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the notional ref to betj is other than sneering at suburbia via condensed signifiers like mocktudor, which is kinda outdated since most upscale exurban development these days is pofaced quinlanite hackwork or barclays homes stuff distended by 800%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

hang on, which redknapp clip?

"barclays home stuff distended by 800%" - awes

wait what's w/ the pic are we all oglers now

ha just coming to post that link

suggestion to mods: rename thread to "bring on the cunts: rolling reactionary football threads cunting it for the footie lads"

Repeated use of "it" says it all.

haha BURN xp

many xp - not just filled w/ bogus/mock tudor houses but wives who peroxide their hair - maybe i shld have waited for a third sign before i called betjeman. anyway alderley edge & wilmslow cld be skewered like this if you were so inclined but they are kind of peculiar & distinct

Was also just coming to say it's back up on Youtube, but internets was going dead slow.

SO MUCH CRINGE.

the sort of ppl who get upset about richard keys being called a cunt are cavilling reets

Repeated use of "it" says it all.

i alluded elsewhere keys and gray can get called to fuck.

if you're going to keep using cunt and defending its use, in a thread that's talking about sexism in football, at least explain why?

Swearing isn't sexist.

do you reckon it might be rockist tho onimo? i feel that's a discush we should be having

RICH KEY$Y
KNOWN ACROSS THE NATION
SMASH AND HANG IS MY FAVOURITE COMBINATION

Speaking as a girlie, I don't find its use in "bad sweary word" or "kicking a ball extremely hard" context particularly sexist or offensive.

the other guy is memorable? i don't want to be a cunt, but honestly you shouldn't watch sky.

http://i53.tinypic.com/mkanwm.jpg

nah, gray is not especially memorable but he has a kinda rep as a player and probably some 'roguish charm' to sky viewers i guess xp

richard keys is just not even there

Gray isn't a 'TV presenter' iirc

I have to say i did enjoy Gray's imaginary player dialogues. Not that he intended them to be funny.

would you smash it

are they talking about louise from eternal

The debate about the C-word has been extensive on ILX and my personal take on it is that the word as used in the UK has become divorced from misogynist invective in the same way that cock or dick as terms of abuse don't really connect to the image of the male member. Obviously in a private discourse with somebody who was offended by the use of the word I would avoid using it, but an internet message board is a different level of discourse in which the potential for offence is so limitless that a blanket avoidance of potentially offensive language is not possible.

In these cases we have agreed that only blatant hate speech is to be forbidden, which is why this board would not welcome, say, Jack Straw, to name one famous racist cunt.

surprising how buffon, baros and aaron hunt arent our 3 favourite current players

This is the 21st century, for heaven’s sake. As long as they are not distracting the male players with their come-hither smiles and intoxicating musk, or suffering their mood-altering “monthly business”, then what is the problem?

[...]

Gray and Keys’s crime was not to be sexist, but to be sexist towards women. Worse still, they foolishly chose to target not the entire gender but a blameless individual with a name, a heart, a face and a soul. Not to mention rather lovely legs.
