Early this week Sky Sports analyst extraordinaire Andy Gray was sacked from his £ 1.7m p.a job due to some 'sexist' comments he made about the female lineswoman (Sian Massey) who was at the Liverpool V Wolves game last weekend. He commented "Women do not understand the off-side rule" after she judged correctly Torres was not offside when he scored.

Now the story has become huge after his co-presenter has also resigned when a clip on you tube was posted when during a half-time talk (off-air) he was heard asking a colleague whether he "smashed" it (slang for F***).

Women are up in arms, i see women as always want to be treated special, quite frankly am fed-up of them playing this victimization card, whats wrong with guys having banter, we all do it all the time, women are usually part of the joke but not the butt end something they don't seem to get. i wear a suit to work, so does my wife..ohh no i forgot she wears a 'Powersuit' what hogwash but no that apparently is fine, is that not sexism?? Or something i have heard a zillion times men can't multi-task?? excuse you!!


The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic.

I was really surprised the sacked Andy because of that.
