The Keys/Gray Offside rule...



According to one tabloid newspaper, Qatar-based Arab TV station Al Jazeera want to snap up former Sky Sports football presenters Richard Keys and Andy Gray.
Al Jazeera want to sign Keys and Gray

Is the Middle East ready for our not-so-dynamic duo? Seriously though, the downfall of Richard Keys and Andy Gray has been swift and dramatic.

Both men were recorded last Saturday making unkind comments about female referee Sian Massey's ability to do her job before the football match between Wolves and Liverpool at Molineux. They also commented on remarks made by West Ham vice-chairman Karen Brady about the levels of sexism in football in the Sun newspaper. Both Keys & Gray were censured and subsequently suspended by Sky.
However events took another turn after Sky sacked Gray following further allegations of his behaviour. Richard Keys then decided to resign.

What now for Sky Sports? Well I hear Jonathan Ross & Russell Brand are looking to reunite...
But my sympathy is reserved for 25-year-old Sian Massey. Through no fault of her own, her career in football is on hold due to the intense attention from the media.
