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

And come away feeling intimidated by it, by the sound of things.

Keys resigns

"Dark forces". Grow up, you prick.

RIP Big Men

I'm probably the only cunt here upset about this,in that I actually enjoy Andy Gray and Keys on sky sports. Obviously they're arseholes and talk shite,but it just won't be the same for me anymore. Who is going to verbally fellate Rooney when/if he gets good again :(

If stelling gets moved then I'll really be upset.

men never make passes at cunts in dark glasses

Started to have sex with one of my girl mates, when she said "you cant tell your friends about this, I don't what my boyfriend finding out." I replied, "don't worry this is just banter!" LAD.

Actually listening to the Keys apologies now, unbelievably bitter sounding. Obviously not sorry.

only sorry he's got to work out where the next keys-gray gig is going to go down, now that it's not the media box at ot/anfield/stamford/emirates.

i hope he's calling numbers on a sunday afternoon bingo soon. with an o.b.e. for services to tosser charities under his belt.

nobody really expects him to be genuinely sorry or really understand the situation tho right? given the casualness of the original comments made only a few days tho.

Exactly. He's acting as if he made a one-off mistake which has been blown out of proportion, but the 'smashed it' clip gives the lie to that. "I'm sorry I'm now unemployed as I've been exposed as a total cunt" would be nearer the truth.

Is it possible that Sky could employ some actual journalists to do these jobs? I saw that the Bir/WHU game tonight had Stelling (who I don't really mind), Redknapp and Merson doing analysis. The latter two are just fucking goons, total idiots. I despair.

Redknapp is very handsome tho. No homo.

do you watch sunday supplement or listen to the podcast krau?

it's a sky show where a bunch of print journalists chill with like orange juice & croissants

i wouldn't say there's an astonishing increase in the level of insight, sadly

I've held my hands up. I was wrong. The big man's held his hands up. He was wrong. We've both held our hands up. We were both wrong. At times we've resembled Adams and Bould circa 1991! One mistake. 20 years. One mistake. Well, just goes to show. There's no loyalty in football. Not any more.

It's not me I feel sorry for. I'm still in my prime. Plenty of networks have wanted me over the years. You'd be surprised by some of the names. Let's just says that a certain West Brom supporting breakfast show host should be thanking me for his career. Tapping up happens. Of course it does.

But what about my mate. Andy Gray. He's given his life to this place. 20 years and hardly missed a game. Not like some of your modern pros who have to feel 'just right' before they pull out the microphone. Shameful. The way he's been treated. Shameful.

This place was nothing when we arrived. Do you think they ever dreamed about your HD's and your 3D's and your red buttons then? Do me a favour love. Look at the place now. Some people have short memories. But we remember. And the fans remember. Make no mistake about that. They're not stupid. And it's them I feel sorry for the most. The fans. No-one seems to have mentioned them in this whole business. No change there then.

"Football's changing and you've got to change with it Keysey" they tell me. Well if the change is for the better, if it's improving the game, then fine, you'll find me at the front of the queue leading the charge. But if it's not? As Andy says, "if it ain't broke don't fix it." Wise bloke Andy.

I don't feel that this is the end though. No danger. They'll be twists and turns before this all plays out. There always is. We'll see what happens a few games down the road when the new guys come in. I hear there going to give Stelling a go. Now Jeff's a good friend of mine. A good friend and a good pro. But I'm sure he won't mind me saying that he's untested at this level. This is a big step up and he knows it. This is Super Sunday. I wish him well but I'm fearful to be honest. The job's hard enough, but add in replacing a double testimonial legend, then the pressure will be enormous. Well we'll see. Will I be back? Well if 20 years have taught me anything it's that you never say never in this game. One thing's for sure though. You just can't take your eyes off it.

Super-rich Arab TV station Al Jazeera want to snap up Richard Keys and Andy Gray

I got a 'joke' text yesterday - fake Andy Gray job-seeker thing where he was looking for work in Saudi/Iran or "anywhere else women know their fucking place".

Does Andy Gray often send you joke texts?

lol at the description of Al-Jazeera as "super rich"!

though compared with the Mirror it's fair dos

Does Andy Gray often send you joke texts?

You see where I said "fake"?

Surprise!

Ugh.

jamie clearly picking up vocabulary from keysy. or maybe yung humma.

NintendoWiiUK | 10 February 2011

can only conclude it was a nice bit of meta from those clever japs

"Thank you – all of you – who helped me and Andy (Gray) build from some very dark places these past few months," it begins. "You've been fantastic. To those who know me well and are concerned about what may bite you going forward – be sure it will – from the brothers of airline pilots to those of you who placed unusual bets on the last day of the season and have had a fairly easy ride despite indiscretions in Vegas."

With a bit more effort he could position himself as Britain's answer to Charlie Sheen.

#winning vs #smashing

The duo, who earlier this year were still using state-of-the-art technology to present Premier League games on the subscription channel, are shown in the videos talking about football on park benches, filmed by what looks to be a cameraphone.

At one point in the now unavailable videos, the pair's discussion on football is drowned out by the noise of a passing van.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TlBaeUjO1g

you don't buy them. they don't come in packets.

This is the first time Gray has spoken about the events which took place in January of last year. I ask him whether he thought that was the end of his life and he says: “Yes.”

So did he think of killing himself?

The 56-year-old looks up and admits: “I would be lying if I said I didn’t.”

oh fuck off

“My job affected so many other people. I’ve got lots of family and friends that I looked after financially because of what I earned. Overnight, I couldn’t look after them any more.”

What Gray is now keen to influence are the minds that he can change. He is genuinely surprised when I say he had a reputation for being arrogant.

“You stagger me. I’ve never heard that levelled at me. I just can’t believe that. I’ve always treated people the way I would like to be treated myself.”

Arrogant? YOU STAGGER ME!!!!!!!!!

In all the 'banter' he has witnessed in his many years in the game not once has any of the stuff thrown at him included the suggestion that he may be a little bit arrogant? These dressing rooms haven't been doing their bantering properly obviously.

Best quotes:

“I do not see myself as sexist. Not in a million years. I have four daughters and I was brought up by a wonderful mother on her own. She’s 91 and is distraught about what happened.”

As proof he explains that the rector of the church in Lower Slaughter in Gloucestershire for his third marriage last month was female. “Veronica (James) was fantastic and we had a lovely Church of England wedding. There you are.”

But on Monday, Keys took to the pair's joint Twitter account – and gave the least patronising of blessings to a certain decision by a certain female assistant referee. The official in question was Massey, and it must have made her little day to discover that her correct offside verdict on Micah Richards's "goal" in the dying seconds of Manchester City's 1-0 defeat by Swansea on Sunday has been given the all-important Keys 'n' Gray stamp of approval. "For the record," tweeted Richard on behalf of the pair, "great call Sian. Delighted for her – as we were a year ago."

As they were a year ago? Forgive me for allowing daylight to intrude on magic, but Richard notoriously greeted the discovery that Sian would be running the line at Molineux with a supportive "the game's gone mad".

Just finished looking at other Mday progs. What did GNev mean when he said to Carragher 'you'd be the burglar'? Why? Cause he's from L'pool?

Keyes still going on about the dark forces of being a sexist prick and now claiming to have invented Gary Neville, Pundit.

Neville, according to Keys, owes him his television career. "He was my idea. Me and Geoff Shreeves. We sat with him in Manchester over a bowl of chips.
