To be fair to him, the highlights from that women's FA Cup Final were hilarious

Richard Keys and Andy Gray have rubbished Gabby Logan’s claims of historic sexism, insisting they are "easy targets". In their first joint interview with a British newspaper for more than 10 years, Gray told Telegraph Sport: "I’d like to be more like Keysy and say, ‘F--- the lot of you."
BBC presenter Logan, writing in her memoir 'The First Half' that was published this week, claimed that former Sky Sports duo subjected her to sexist provocation about her pregnancy on board a flight to the Champions League final in Istanbul in 2005, an accusation that both vigorously deny.
Keys, 65, who in Logan’s own words helped kick-start her career in the 1990s, insisted that he would be taking legal action. “I did more for her, in the early part of her career, than anybody,” he told Telegraph Sport. “Andy and I were easy targets. It’s easy to have a go at us. I don’t intend to see her in court, but I think there are things that can be settled away from that.”
Gray added: “I was really disappointed. My life’s about today and tomorrow, not 10 years ago. Or in that alleged case, 17 years ago. I want to move on with my life.”
The pair left Sky in 2011 after tapes were leaked of the presenters making derogatory and sexist remarks about female assistant referee Sian Massey, as well as making inappropriate comments and sexual innuendos to colleagues. Gray was sacked following the release of the video showing him making inappropriate comments to the presenter Charlotte Jackson. Keys then resigned.
Gray, 66, explained that he was deeply upset by those taking potshots at his character from a distance. “I find it difficult when people who don’t know me have such a damning view of me,” he says. “I’ve never been able to get my head around it. What I can’t understand is the people who’ve never met me, who don’t know me or my family.
"I’ve got three daughters, for f---’s sake, and I’m supposed to be a sexist? Come on. I was brought up by a mother on her own. Richard used to say to me, ‘Don’t worry about it, leave them.’ But for some reason, it gets to me. I’d like to be more like Keysy and say, ‘F--- the lot of you.’”
During an extensive 2½-hour interview, which you can read in full below, the pair give their views on everything from the state of Sky punditry to their defence of Qatar’s right to host next month’s World Cup. Keys and Gray are adamant that they have learned how to be more progressive. “I had a women’s team come to me a few years ago, Coventry Sphinx, desperate for kit,” Keys said. “They asked, ‘Will you sponsor us?’ I said, ‘Yeah, but I don’t want Richard Keys on there. Put the name of the local children’s hospice.’”

A mate of mine worked in Skysports when Keys and Gray were employed and he hated both of them.
Most of the women were very wary. But after they were sacked the whole culture of the department changed for the better. The Athletic picked up on that.

I've been over here for the past year and watch a lot of stuff on BEIN. It's just like watching the early days of Sky when the two were on there.
Proper old boys club.
