Another Sky Sports reporter does it !

Wed Jan 26, 2011 11:19 am

Copied this from a link about Sian Massey


Meanwhile, Sky Sports reporter Andy Burton was stood down from tonight’s Carling Cup semi-final second leg match between Birmingham and West Ham after footage emerged of him referring to Massey as a “bit of a looker” and making other disparaging remarks before Saturday’s match.


plus she withdrew from a match last night .............. if she hasnt got the bottle then with all due respect she shouldnt be assistant ref , and that comment goes out to all her male colleagues too :evil:

What the Hell is the problem with saying she is a looker?
They should tune into the girls on the Tv in the afternoon when there talking about guys and the things they say.
I reckon every one be it F or M should all be treated the same, if a women can do a job then let her do it.
We all know that guy as refs make cock ups so if a women makes a cock up so what ? it only shows that we are all human.

yeah but God help the 1st person who says a comment like " she's ugly " from now on to anybody :lol: I agree that M and F officials should be treated the same and open to same amount of stick as the M officials get , all be it slightly more toned down . For example " linesman stick that flag up your fekkin arse " you wouldnt say to a female official but maybe some sort of remark about being at home doing the dishes and ironing rather than being at the football would suffice :lol:

she was withdrawn from the game due to the current media goings on and Andy Gray being sacked, probably felt that there was no need to put all this media pressure on her last night and that it would overshadow the game going on

I don't see the point in getting suspended for saying someone is a bit of a looker.. Nothing wrong with that at all.

THIS is an example of how it will now be taken out of proportion everytime anyone says anything that could be remotely indicated as sexist.
