Gray & Keys In Sexist Row

[Shaggy]

She's ****e, end of story. Got players names routinely wrong, faked excitement when goals were scored and did the Brooking trick of simply describing what happened even though you can see it..."He's run down the line, he's crossed it, and the centre forward has headed it over the bar". Yeah thanks.

[Neil Young]

Tony Gubba did that for his entire career.



Gubba - it's an odd name.

[Shaggy]

Gubba and Sinstadt represented the halcyon days.

The worst now is the chronic Alastair Mann, the BBC's former 'Partridge of Granada'.

[Vermilion]

Is it wrong to want them sacked..?

No. And what's more, i think the lady lino in our game was spot on.

But it'll be intereseting to see how sports journo's handle it when she does make a big mistake, which will happen, as it does to all linesmen/women.

[Arn]

She should take them to court and sue them.

[Drago]

She did get one call wrong so no she didn't have an excellent game. Getting no pat on the back from me for getting a call right either.

[Shaggy]

She was good and got a hairline decision absolutely spot on. It wouldn't be quite so bad if what they'd said was funny...but **** me....the old "I bet she doesn't even know the offside rule!!!!!!!1".......yeah, hilarious and not at all predictable.

I know, it's such an easy job innit.

edit: But i bet if she'd got that call wrong she'd get plenty of abuse ?

I don't know Mann. Sinstadt was great. Gubba was bloody awful though. It was always really obvious he was doing an offline voiceover but then he'd pretend he wasn't by acting all surprised. "Oh and it's a goal!" Wow, really convincing.

Like when Sky used to pretend their Spanish football commentary team was at the game and talked about Gerry "Less grey than he used to be" Armstrong rushing into the studio from the "commentary position."

Not really but comments like excellent game should be kept for someone who made no wrong calls.

She did ok, nothing more nothing less.

Haha yeah

Mann is on MOTD every week, does games in the north west/north.

I love those after-the-event overdubs

Drago is just a bit weird. Luckily enough you can ignore people like him. He make comments just to get an argument going. He want to create a fight.

It's a big relief that you find me weird.

Not sure who said she had an excellent game, but imo she got the big decisions spot on, it's impossible, absolutely impossible, imo, to get every thing right, not many lino's have excellent games, a1 performances with no error, so i don't know what more she could have done.

Also, i see no reason not to give her a pat on the back either, just as i would if a male lino had got those decisions right, if she'd got that marginal wrong, it could have been a different more nervy game, so for that i'm grateful, yes it's her job, and yes she should be able to do it, but this is football, it's not a proper type job and there are so many variables, fan abuse for one, the girl did good imo.

[Shaggy]

No ref/lino has ever gone through a 90 minutes getting every single decision absolutely spot on. Just doesn't happen. She had a very good game yesterday.
