Just Deserts
The sacking of Andy Gray seemed inevitable in the end.
If his comments at the weekend weren't bad enough - his fate was sealed with more embarrassing footage of the football pundit.
In which he made a fool of himself with a woman colleague - young to be his daughter.
Wasn't this all just innocent banter?
Didn't look that way to me certainly - not least because the 'blokes' involved were the only ones laughing - at their own ridiculous antics.
Remember as well that these 50 plus men were 'big cheeses' at Sky Sports - authority figures who would have been difficult to complain about - if you objected to their behaviour.
So they should have known better - they were at work for goodness sake - not at home or in the pub - and they had a responsibility to set a much better example.
Maybe they were stitched up by a disgruntled member of staff - who knows?
But maybe they were serial offenders - with lots more to come out in the wash - if push ever comes to shove.
Can anyone imagine the 'voice of rugby' - Scotland's Bill McLaren - speaking or acting in that way?
Of course not - and that's why, sadly - Andy Gray has got his just deserts.
