I'm not sure the 'but it wasn't said live on air' excuses work here as they were at their job and sexism in the workplace isn't allowed under the sex discrimination act.
It's a tad convenient that these comments have been leaked by Skysports, his employer, whilst he's in the process of taking the NOTW to court over all this phone hacking. Maybe it's a coincidence, who knows. |
I was thinking "oh they were probably joking" but unless they joke with an entirely unwavering serious tone, I very much doubt it.
-just wants Gray to suffer for being a continual dick about my free kicks on Fifa :bored:- |
i didnt think i would like karen after margaret but i do
shes rather fierce |
Sexism and racism are the norm among football commentators and pundits so I am not in the least bit shocked.
See Ron Atkinson, Jimmy Hill (who publically leaped to Atkinson's defence) and Dick Best. |

In the Sky Sports gallery a Female Worker leaked it. SkySports has loads of females working all over the place. |

The lineswoman also has some bad mates as one of them Sold the Sun this photo of her drunk. And they ask to get rid of the 2 Sky Sports Reporters. This is a can of worms I tell you. Feel The Force. |

Yes a Thrusting Sex Drive as well. |

I wonder if they knew the Lady in the SkySports gallery that would hear them. I think its a Joke and a Joke Dig on that female tech gallery worker but she did not laugh and sold the off air clip to the press fast. |

Ron Manager (Paul Whitehouse) and Tommy (Mark Williams) are taken aback when a woman is in the presenter's chair and starts talking to them about football. They respond as you say, and eventually ask her to go and make them a cup of tea "luv"! A very apt sketch the BBC should dig-up and re-show to rub Sky's noses in it at the moment! |
Quote:
No it was a Recent sketch on the Harry and Paul show. (no clip found) at a Football match, and the 2 of them were not having a female presenter. No Sky is loving all the Free ads for SkySportsHD while the Bloated BBC spends hours debating the 2 presenters |
Maybe so arista, but Eamonn Holmes seemed a bit sheepish about discussing the incident on Sky News Sunrise this morning :hugesmile: He didn't pour over the tabloid front pages for half as long as usual! I see the Guardian is even getting-in on the stirring with articles like this:
What does it take to get sacked in sports broadcasting? A rogues' gallery of presenters and pundits and the fate that awaited them after their indiscretions Jimmy 'The Greek' Snyder A Las Vegas bookie with an NFL punditry slot on CBS, Snyder broke bread with a TV reporter in a Washington restaurant in 1988, and came unstuck with comments about black athletes: "The black is a better athlete to begin with because he's been bred to be that way. This goes back all the way to the Civil War when the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have a big black kid." Sacked Ron Franklin The veteran ESPN commentator addressed touchline reporter Jeannine Edwards as "sweet baby" in a production meeting on New Years Eve 2010, then responded to her objection by calling her an "asshole". Sacked Chris Price In 2008, the freelance BBC Radio Manchester reporter described Bradford City's defence as "having more holes than a Spanish aircraft". A week earlier, a Spanair jet had crashed, killing 153. Not invited back Alan Pardew Watching footage of Michael Essien tackling Ched Evans while on the Match of the Day 2 sofa in 2009, the then-Southampton manager opined that the Chelsea midfielder had "absolutely raped" his opponent. Not invited back Ron Atkinson The ITV commentator and Guardian columnist accused Marcel Desailly of being a "*******ing lazy thick n****r" when supposedly off-mic during Chelsea's 2004 Champions League semi-final defeat in Monaco. Sacked and loses newspaper column Rodney Marsh On a January 2005 edition of You're On Sky Sports, Marsh claimed David Beckham had turned down a move to Newcastle after hearing about trouble with "the Toon Army in Asia". The previous month, over 200,000 people had died after an earthquake and tsunami in the Indian Ocean. Sacked Richard Keys In 2007, introducing highlights of the Faroe Islands v Scotland Euro 2008 qualifier, the Sky anchor finished his link, then added the following open-mic flourish: "Daft little ground, silly game, ******* off." Slap on wrist LIFE IN THE BROADCASTING LANE |
"but Eamonn Holmes seemed a bit sheepish about discussing the incident "
Sure they are his mates. I love telling Karen Thrusting Brady to give it a rest luv. She said on Radio 5Live yesterday morning "It makes her Blood Boil" Give her a Whip. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/...87_308x122.jpg |
I think the biggest irony in this is that the whistleblower production assistant will probably end-up getting the sack whilst it will be all forgiven and forgotten for the 'lads' by next week.

Unless she is protected. Karen Brady has yet to go onto a TV news studio on this, I guess on Radio we can not see her breaking her pencil. |

Quote:
I hadn't seen that one before. The sketch I mentioned to arista from The Fast Show is in a similar vein, except from the studio and the 2 pundits (Ron Manager and Tommy) being gobsmacked that a woman is being allowed to talk about football. |
so basically, they were mocking her because of a decision she made that turned out to be right? is that it?
|
Quote:
Questioning the lineswoman's offside decision was really just a symptom of this apparent prejudice. |
Quote:

Yup - but god knows what they might have said if the lineswoman had made a howler at any time during that game (which all officials do all the time!)
