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.”

A woman gave birth to him. Blimey.

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".

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.

Cummings may yet appeal over the decision and BBC Sport understands he believes he should receive a more lenient sanction, just as the chairman of the FA's referees committee, David Elleray, did this summer.

Elleray avoided punishment after he told Robert McCarthy, a black non-league referee coaching manager, that he "looked rather tanned" and asked him "have you been down a coal mine?"

Whelan is such a repulsive old bullheaded senile bastard he is probably loving this. Even if the managerial short-list was Steve Kean, Hockaday and some fucking tramp claiming to be Anelka's brother his ability to manage and sign players is fatally compromised and he shouldn't have got the job.

the problem is this lamentable preoccupation with punishment, the line is he has been humiliated so let's leave it at that, which judging by the lack of fuss the media mostly seem to be buying rather than acknowledging that this renders him unsuitable for any role in any industry with a position of trust

He added: "I would ask people to judge me as they see me.

"I made mistakes but I'm absolutely not racist. I hope going forward the people of Wigan see me as I am."

I personally have had to bear the consequences of stuff I did in the past. I was a betting shop manager with a predilection for gambling and had signed a caution for the theft of a fair few grand after too many degenerate gambling adventures. So a few years later when I was a qualified electrician, this caution for theft would appear on enhanced CRB checks whenever I was working in schools, government buildings etc. I had to carry this shit for over a decade and it caused me what seemed like endless angst for the best part of a decade at various companies. And this worthless piece of shit gets a free pass after a few months and implores supporters of the jumped up re-election recipients to see him as he is x0==

if you accept pro football doesn't really give a fuck about racism, homophobia, misogyny,

and if you accept that no accusations of crooked transfer shenanigans have been proven as yet

this feeb is still a terrible fucken appointment.

almost as if the provocation was the point rather than an unfortunate side effect.

maybe not the point exactly but im sure whelan is delighted in being able to able to fuck off loads of people

he is an awful fucking cunt and i have noted his grotty patrician victorian industrialist mentality here before

one of the reasons i have a residual fondness for mike ashley, apart from his baiting of the nufc fans, is that he gave evidence of the cartel operated by whelan and a few other retailers and since then whelan has nurtured a grudge against him

even criticizing him for wearing a newcastle shirt in the directors box (this from someone who made his fortune selling replica football shirts)

disconnected externalized and unrecognizable signifying structure (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 19 November 2014 22:23 (nine years ago) link

yeah sure the point can't be merely to provoke but then still, the noxiousness coupled with the sheer unnecessariness of the appointment - there must be a dozen out of work mediocrities that kind of got lucky with a shitty club a little bit once - reeks of favours or dodgy money or something

Ought Mackay to have rendered himself permanently unemployable through his charmless interchanges with his former head of recruitment Iain Moody, or should the game allow him a route back if he shows contrition and promises to behave better in the future?

The danger here is that many are depicting Mackay as some sort of sex offender, if not a mass murderer. His crime was being busted by a vengeful former employer for a handful of texts that were undeniably much worse than the “friendly banter” the League Managers Association foolishly suggested.
