How on earth Keys has not gone as well is unbelievable ,the man (Keys) must have not one ounce of self respect or loyality in him . The Watcher hearf him on Talksport, it was embarrassing, he just kept digging & digging himself deeper & deeper into an already massive hole.'"
He has just left.

| Tbh I'm very happy about this because I've never liked Andy Gray and Richard Keys has been replaced by the best man at sky. Jeff Stelling. Just get Chris Kamara as the new commentator and oh my.

| Will Sky (now that they have taken the moral high ground) remove the scantily clad and objectified women from Soccer AM? To increase the irony, maybe they should invite Sian to strip off?

| I suppose this saga will go down, as 'one we will never really know the truth on'. However its pretty rife that Gray and Keys have been treating production staff like garbage for years and in truth under Vik Wakeling they 'got away with stuff' that new exec Barnie clearly didnt like and like plenty idiots if you give them enough rope.............
Ive spent many hours this week in the car listening to all this and I feel in truth both should have been sacked for their original total disrespect to the lady running the line on Sat. This in my opinion wasnt banter or tongue in cheek it was blatant male chauvinisms, how dare a female run around on my grass attitude. The comment of should we go and explain the offside rule was quite ironic considering Sian got everything 100% correct.
To survive the above was a miracle but it was clear to me then that the duo didn’t have many friends left in high places to save them and the mystery you tube subscriber who effectively finished them off with the video coverage of Gray's crude comments to Charlotte were quite unbelievable.
Only a handful of sky employees could have got that footage and effectively that was the last nail in Gray and Keys coffin.
Not sure who advises Keys but that hour on talk sport this afternoon will probably ensure his media career was over, had he been on for 15 mins I might have just believed he was sorry and it was a one off mistake but is blatant attempts to justify some of the comments during the full hour just made his position untenable.
However, I do have sympathy when the England captain starts slagging them off on twitter, people in glass houses ...............
Obviously I don’t know Gray and Keys so on face value they appeared to be very good at their job for 20 years and have enhanced sports broadcasting to new levels but just maybe they got too big for their boots, and the comments Keys made to a new junior production member of staff to try and get him to remove chewing gum from his shoe was disgraceful.
Final word on this is why did it take sky 6 weeks to take action against Gray/Keys for their comments against Charlotte?????
Just a little joke that has landed in my mobile :-
………..I’m loving the new Fifa 11 game for the Xbox every time the mrs comes out of the kitchen to pick up the controller Andy Gray comes on the screen and bellows…. Get back in the f ing kitchen love…………..

| Common decency and credibility, why is there page 3 girls? Why do we have prostitution? Why do we have strip clubs? Maybe they should think about stopping these before sacking Gray, women tell jokes about men as well its natural....... Theres something behind the story which the media isn't telling us I'm sure.....

when you're picking up £1.7 million per year decency doesn't come into it - as for their credibility,they were becoming old-hat,predictable & utterly boring - it is definitely time for a change...well done SKY & Keys for doing the decent thing...

I hope uk society isn't summed up by people like you ! and please don't make a sweeping generalisation about one particular race - you're insulting the vast majority of the Pakistani community

There might well be.
Can't remember his name but didn't sky sack someone a few years ago for something similar ?.
Why does there have to be an agenda against him ?

| What I would say about all this is that there are politicians who have done far worse than these two and still hold down top jobs. The whole thing reminds me of a shoal of piranas. One comes to feed then a few more then before you know it the water is boiling with them all trying to get their share, then one by one they fade away in search of their next victim. Their whole famillies will be embarresed because of all this. Is that the price to pay for this crime. A TV scab as I call him was laughing about a fellow presenter loosing his job and career and it could really threaten his familly life. Over the top is what it all is. I don't condone sexual harrasment in the work place but he hasn't exactly trapped someone in a quiet corner and pushed himself on her has he. The whole affair makes me sick.
