Good. He deserves nothing else; there'll be a 'disrepute, dishonour & disgrace' clause in his contract which will make this easy for Sky to enforce

a 'disrepute, dishonour & disgrace'
I'm assuming (with hindsight) that that's what Sky's HR & legal department would have spent the last few days looking for.
I'm also guessing (again with hindsight) that a fair few of the behind the cameras staff at Sky mustn't like the idiot. Quite a few tapes were leaked.

Overhyped nonsense from start to finish.

and just as he was pursuing the News of the World for phone hacking...what are the chances of an off air, off colour remark being broadcast by Sky to suit Murdock's evil schemes? No that's never happened before...

Is it wrong that I agree entirely with his sacking but still laughed at that picture?

Ridiculous PC knee jerk nonsense. Although 5live did say that this relates to a previous incident, details of which are at present unknown, rather than the last couple of days.
Looks like they were just waiting for an excuse to get shut of him.

I hope that this is due to him being naughty and not to do with his case against NoTW.

why pc knee jerk nonsense?, if hed said the same things based on race rather than gender should he have been sacked?

Which again, would have been pc knee jerk nonsense.

Don't you think you made enough of an eejit out of yourself yesterday?

Really? He was being paid a great deal of money to represent Sky; now that he's tainted goods, they've done the sensible thing and off-loaded him.

None whatsoever. If others do then that's their perogative. Im quite comfortable with my views so I really would let it bother you...
Don't get me wrong, Andy Gray is a tit, but what he did was no way a sackable offence. There is obviously an additional agenda at play on this one.

Good. He's a dinosaur.
I know its panto, but he has slated Arsenal for years even when they have been playing the most amazing football he has ever seen.
He was an average player and a poor pundit. Glad he's gone. Hope he rotsPosted 1 year ago # -
You see how much trouble one woman official has caused.......think what would happen if more were encouraged to join!
Lets make sure they never get the vote!" What's that? Emily who? never heard of her!"

I assume that Sky invoked the clause that said "if you only speak in the present tense, even when commentating on past events, your employment may be terminated summarily".
Shame that the BBC haven't got the same in their agreements, or they could have got rid of Mark Bright a long time ago....

Feel sorry for the girl herself - she's been when & truly blown up into the public's conscience & withdrawn from the game she was supposed to officiating at tonight.
I'm sure as a football official she has heard alot worse that 'hear love do you know the offside rule'

All a bit ott sacking him, what next thought police.

Nope it needs a higher average value of IQ...

They must be under immense pressure to get the descisions correct. She must have been even under even more pressure, knowing that she will be scrutinsed by thousands of men with the same views as grey. Glad he got the sack, microphones on or off he still has those views so he should have been sacked straight away.

Not really, highly paid person in public view expressing an archaic and stupid viewpoint (albeit in a joke), deserves to be shot. I mean fired.

Yeah, sure, from the half-wits in the pub. Not from supposedly intelligent sport lovers in a position of some authority/meaning. There's no defending it.

Great to see Sky taking a stand against sexism.
Now, who's the soccerette this Saturday?

No, it's the folk who like to dictate to others what they should say/think who should be sacked.

excellent warton
He was an average player
He was PFA young player of the year, a Scottish international in the day when they had an embarassment of riches and had such a long and distinguished carrer because he was an average player

The man is an idiot, he represented everything that is wrong with modern football and Sky telly.

Wasn't meant to come across as defending them was an observation mostly from hearing the boos from the wolves fans after the first Liverpool goal on motd.
