Richard Keys giving a Keegan type performance on Talksport at the moment, in his ‘apology’ he has already had pops at the Mail, Sun, Rio, Karen Brady.
The City or the player.
The upcoming Dreamworks film.
Does he address at any point why he’s such a cunt?
“There’s many people drinking from the well of success that we dug” 
Gray - Utter utter cunt.
Keys- Alright sort.
*Keys’ daughter is tops aswell. I’m sure MBB will do the honours with photos etc…
My sources tell me Richard Keys has resigned…
Heard some of that interview with Keys on Today FM on the way home. Fucking idiot, he was apologising while blaming everyone except himself.
SSN confirming that he’s gone now anyway.

Before or after my exclusive Rocko?
In his statement he said “i couldn’t go on without Andy”. :rolleyes:
The interview was basically him implying something for 5-10 minutes, the interviewer asking him if that was what he was implying, and him responding “that’s for other people to say, I couldn’t possibly say that” :lol:
It was a masterclass in how to sound like a complete cunt.
Hey Richard, would you smash this?
Top notch stuff there, never knew Keys had this in him
Only a bikini, but spoilered for those who might be looking in work.
Can we get rid of Andy Burton now please.
She looks like Richard.
In related news:
Sam Matterface, a former Sky Sports presenter, agreed that Gray was not popular among colleagues. “He had an aura; an air about him of being untouchable,” he said. “I’m not really surprised that another incident has come to light. I always had the feeling, even though I had cordial exchanges with him, that he wasn’t very popular among the people he worked with.”
Matterface, remember this cunt? He was banging Natalie Sawyer. He was sacked from SSN for unspecified reasons before Christmas and now works for TalkSPORT. Sawyer has been off SSN for the last while as she’s had a kid with Matterface. They christened the child Sawyer Dennis Alan Matterface. FFS.
indeed the fucking hairy hands on her.
I never liked Sam Matterface because of his name. Sawyer was fantastic in the last year and now I know why. :lol:
Didn’t realise Matterface had been sacked. He’s no worse than that horrible hun cunt Jim White anyway…
Stitched up.
[b]Richard Keys apology: transcript of important quotes
Sky Sports anchor Richard Keys has given his first public interview since a series of leaked clips highlighted his apparent sexism. Telegraph Sport looks at the key quotes[/b]
On agreeing to a radio interview:
“There’s a firestorm raging out there and it’s been very difficult to step into the middle of it to try to get across the way I’m feeling and correct some of the misinformation that’s been put about. I don’t have an agent, I don’t have a spin doctor, I don’t tweet, I don’t have blogs or websites. Finding myself in the middle of something like this is most, most discomforting for me.”
On apologising to Sian Massey:
"I would like to re-iterate what I said to Sian Massey on Sunday afternoon, during the second half of the Blackpool v West Brom match. Not, as reported, at 5 o’clock on Monday evening. I rang on behalf of Andy and myself and made an official apology which Sian accepted. She and I enjoyed some banter together and we left on very good terms.
“I can’t tell you any more about the conversation beyond the fact that she was in good spirits and I expressed my disappointment that Andy and I, in misguidedly having a little fun, had got it wrong. There’s no excuse anywhere for anybody to make a judgment on someone else’s ability to do a job because they are male or female.”
On the aggresive tone of his initial comments about Massey:
“It was ironic. I know when you listen to these things in the manner in which they’re presented they sound very different, but of course it was all part of a much wider conversation that everybody on the day was part of. I’m quite certain that football isn’t inherently sexist, but I think that football is full of sportsmen that enjoy a little bit of ‘lads mag humour’. Is it for me to judge that? No, it’s for others. In dressing rooms, in pubs and many other places on Saturday there was a raised eyebrow [at the use of a female assistant].”
On his on-air support for Massey:
“Amongst the things that haven’t been mentioned, right at the start of the game I said, on air, ‘there she is, a female assistant today, we wish her all the best, of course we do’. At half time we said she made a very good decision. One of our studio guests said ‘we all held our breath’. We all did. And I can tell you from my conversation with her, so did she. Am I defending what we said and did? No. I’ve never had a problem in my life saying sorry when I was wrong. We were wrong. It shouldn’t have happened. It did, what can you do beyond that?”
On the media reaction:
"There are some dark forces at work here. I asked if we could make people aware of the fact that [Massey and Keys] had had a conversation and thought it was best for both parties to move on. I was told ‘no’. And 24 hours passed, by which time the world had gone mad. I don’t know why I was told ‘no’… I remember saying to Sian ‘I need to make this official, on behalf of Andy and myself we unreservedly apologise for our behaviour. It was wrong.’ I won’t tell you what her response was.
"For something that I felt was quite controllable… I’ve found the reaction to be extraordinary. I cannot believe the frenzy that has blown up. If I had been in a position to get out the fact that I’d said ‘sorry’ on Sunday I don’t think it would have done. What I would say is - because no-one said anything we appeared perhaps arrogant and dismissive of something that was very serious. We weren’t. I reacted to it immediately that I learned their was a problem.
“I could stand up, and have done for three days, and get battered, because I deserve to be. If the people who are passing judgment on this have any self-respect they will stop hounding Sian. Leave her alone. The cover of The Sun raised my eyebrow, I have to say… To put a photograph of her on the cover, from the angle that it was, was in my opinion not right in these circumstances. The people who did that have some serious questions to answer themselves.”
Was it innocent “banter”?
“I noticed Rio Ferdinand tweeted and said ‘Prehistoric banter, no place for it.’ Rio, are you telling me it doesn’t take place in the Manchester United dressing room? My information is that it does. That’s not to say it’s right. There’s a wider conversation here - is it sexist? Is it lads mag banter? Is it right? That’s not for me to judge. What I do think it is right for me to step out. It is right for me to say sorry, again. I hope, if there’s any good to come from it, it makes it easier for others to follow Sian.”
Does he feel stitched-up by colleagues?
“I don’t know. That is for others to make a judgment on. What else can I say about that?”
On Karren Brady
"I tried to ring Karren twice on Sunday night, she didn’t answer the phone. There is no answerphone on Karren’s mobile. That may be a sign of the times at West Ham, I don’t know. So I text her in case she saw a number she was unfamiliar with and didn’t want to answer. I said ‘Karren, it’s Richard Keys, I very much need to talk to you. Could you please take my call or ring me back?’ Now, she chose not to. I don’t know why.
“A by-product of all this is that it took her and West Ham out of the press. She knows and so does everybody else what a mess they made of appointing Martin O’Neill and she was getting it in the neck. She claims that was because she’s a woman. That is her view, it’s not neccessarily mine, it might be that others don’t share that either. But she payed that card, rightly or wrongly. My comment was ‘oh come on, do me a favour’. It was a view that didn’t come out, when you listen to the tape, in a manner that was acceptable. It was wrong, again.”
On sexism at Sky:
"Sky is not inherently sexist. Sky Sports is not inherently sexist. The football department is not inherently sexist. There’s a lot of good work that’s gone on at Sky over the years to make sure that’s not the case. It’s something that is left over from the era when [Gray and Keys] started.
“We’ve grown up with nobody liking us, we’re a little bit like Wimbledon. We had to upset a few people when we started to get noticed. All those colourful jackets I used to wear - I used to say I was driving a Mini so we had to make a bit of a fuss. These days Sky’s a Rolls Royce so you don’t need to make such a fuss. We’ve done an awful lot to make Sky a success, there’s many people drinking from the well that we’ve dug and enjoying that success: good. Because that’s why we did it.”
Andy Gray has been fired, what reason is there that Keys shouldn’t be too?
“None, I suppose. That’s for others to make a decision on. I’ve got to ask myself ‘do I want to carry on without him?’ and that’s something I have been doing.”
On Gray and their on-screen partnership:
"He’s someone I’ve grown enormously fond of down the years and he’s an enormously influential character in our business. He re-wrote the rulebook when it comes to analysis. He’s been described as a bully, he’s been described as sexist, I’ve been described as aloof. If operating the way that I do, staying away from red carpets, tweeting and blogging, keeping myself to myself for the benefit of my family, then I’m guilty of that as well. I don’t get overly busy, I don’t write newspaper columns, I don’t appear on radio stations except perhaps in these circumstances. I’m not out there, my ego doesn’t need that.
"I’ve loved doing my job for 20 years and I’m enormously proud of what we’ve done in those 20 years. Andy Gray, as a player, was signed because of his personality and success followed, everywhere he went. Our ‘prehistoric banter’ is not acceptable in a modern world. I accept that. We failed to change when everything else was changing around us.
“One of the reasons we liked to have banter was that we liked to do things differently. We did the best. We got people to air that were able to enjoy an afternoon as if they were sitting in their own lounge. Television studios are enormously intimidating places so we’d put people at ease by having a little chuckle and a little laugh. I’m not saying that what we said Saturday was either of those things, It was wrong and I’ve apologised again and again and again today. There’s no place for it in a modern workplace.”
