I believe they are called Assistant referees these days but I know what you mean.

I agree the one where Andry Gray is saying basically 'PUT YOUR HANDS DOWN MY TROUSERS' was wrong as the female presenter looked disturbed.

I think it was this together with the other remark and probably others (which we don't know about) that caused his downfall. If not I am sure he is wealthy enough to go down the unfair dismissal route.

As far as 'loose women' is concerned it is an interesting anology. I don't watch it but if they are making sexist comments to or about specific guests (behind their backs) I would agree with you. There is a line where it crosses over from banter to revealing 'the true nature of the beast' so to speak.

I think it was really wrong for them to say that however that goes on everywhere and nothing gets done so I don't see why he should have been fired. I would have said it would of been fair enough for him to be suspended but firing is a bit harsh because he did apologise and you have to make mistakes to learn from them.

I used to enjoy watching Super Sunday and MNF with Andy and Richard. Without them, it won't feel the same?

I think a lot of what he said was a joke, but the thing he said about the linesman was a bit beyond the line.
WHO IS GONNA DO FIFA COMMENTARY NOW!?!?

FYI she was an Assistant Referee, who is a qualified referee. So yes, she is a referee.
