Andy Gray

dan78 · January 31, 2014

Andy Gray, the veteran Sky Sports football pundit whose career in Britain appeared to have been ended by a sexism scandal in 2011, has been hit by the emergence of a new video.

The 58-year-old had just made an appearance for BT Sport as a co-commentator for Stevenage's FA Cup tie against Everton, on a weekend while Michael Owen was absent. But the release of the new video, which dates back at least a decade, is clearly designed to undermine Gray.

As you can see above, it shows presenter Clare Tomlinson heckled with a chant of "Get your tits out for the lads" by Gray and his long-time television sidekick Richard Keys.

And here's me hoping that with Gray coming back he might replace that dreary, damp sock of a man Michael Owen

They are absolute prats. I cannot believe anyone wants to employ them or that anyone wants to see them on televsion. And Keys going on again about people being out to get them.

Their views are outdated and their actions are abhorrent. They made people uncomfortable and worried in their jobs - the behaviour of absolutely boorish men with little thought for anyone else.

Lol how England would it be of he's not allowed back on tv because he shouted 'get your tits out' 10 years ago.

I'm sure Clare never really recovered from this terrible tirade.

That's a dirty trick played by Sky that.

People like Gray need to be shown their actions are completely unacceptable. It is people like him that stop women from entering certain industries or keep them from progressing within them.

Bore off. They've been tits. They've been punished. Time to move on. They were great pundits and should be allowed to move on with their careers just like anyone else punished for being a tit a few years ago.

Video over 10 years old.

What a malicious tactic by Sky to release that.

Dirty.

Exactly.

Horrific from Sky that, also the only reason why Gray was sacked from Sky was because he was embroiled in a legal battle with the NOTW.

It's not about them being punished as such. I'm not saying they should be fined or jailed but they acted outside of the accepted standards required by their job. And, of course, because of their position it is very public. I'm staggered that anyone would want to bring them into their company. If I was female and working for BT, I would be very disappointed if my bosses decided to hire them.

I thought that dinosaur was living in the desert with his hairy mate, Keys?

This will sink him. Thank goodness.

Gray made the mistake of trying to sue the news of the world and Murdoch then put him on his hit list.

And they got sacked.

Now gray wants to get a new job, and they want to hire him.

End of story. You can't have it both ways.
