Only a matter of time until we get some kind of quota saying teams must carry a certain amount of women in their team.
All it takes is someone to suggest it, press push the issue and build it up, get's rejected, someone cries "sexism" and it snowballs just like this incident.
We need to ban women from football matches and buying football manager before they start getting ideas.

Offending men? Don't make me laugh, it goes on all the time, not just Loose Women, but many many adverts which poke fun at and belittle men. And what about Sheila's Wheels?
Wouldn't be allowed if it was women being slighted.
I think I'll become a crusader for men's rights............

Clearly SHE did understand it as her call was correct? it was the two commentators that do not understand it as their call was wrong :P
Got to be honest I don't understand the off side rule nor am I interested in knowing it, football is a cr@p sport full of overpaid nancy boys
I do however think this has been blown out of all proportion, as usual...

I think this clip did for him, getting a bit friendly with Charlotte Jackson.

in supporting/condoning that behaviour you have to be consistent and say that you would have no problem with someone acting like that to your daughter
not sure I would tbh

That's Sky for you; Only out for itself, anything occurs that it considers negative towards its name, instead of defending and justifying their employee's actions and putting it into context (off air comments), it stabs its owns long term employee in the back and sacks him.
Now Andy is a bit of prat, but how Sky have treated him sums up this dispackable company's morals: They'll happily drag the name of some innocent member of the public through the dirt in their selective news reporting without challenge, but will happily off-load anyone from their own team to keep its name squeaky clean for just a few off air comments.
Now if I read the news right, its says they gave Andy a warning. Then they sacked him when further footage came to light....Hang on though, this footage was just as old as the first lot.. In other words, they sacked someone based on a retrospective action that happened before the warning was issued. If Sky had a 'proper' worker's union, they'd have a field day.
