I've noticed that people who like to dish out"banter" don't seem to like it when they get it back.
Sounds like your one of them
@@jakeansell5408 Sound like what? Someone who dishes out banter?
there is a fine line between banter and bullying
@@tfootball8704using dark humour between him and his mate is now bullying?
I liked your comment and made it 124 so I took it back to let it remain 123
The fact he cheated on his wife who had cancer with his daughters friend really puts it bed that he isn't a very nice guy

Him cheating on his wife was just banter
blueragebull he pulled out so it was not cheating
Cheating on wife has nothing to do with what happened.
Oh do jog on
You’d always see keysey hanging out the back of the daughter’s mate
He smashed it
You can say all you like about Richard Keys, but the best premier league days were the days with him and Andy Gray, no question about it
Bang on
Andy gray commenting on liverpool united was like what jim ross is to the attitude era
I watch them both now on Bein sports. Just like the good old sky sports days. Hey sky's loss Beins gain.
Yes but those days being good had nothing to do with them so what is your point
The only reason for that is him and gray have so far been around for the vast majority of the PL's televised coverage. It's relatively early days yet, but I'm enjoying carra, neville, henry, given, bellamy etc much more than those dinosaurs who offered next to no insight into the game for fans.

Richard Keys returned home from riding a horse, his wife said "had the horse out for a gallop?". Richard Keys said "it was just a canter".
A man said to Richard Keys, "what do you serve your wine from?". Richard Keys said, "just a decanter".
Richard Keys was pulled over for drunk driving. The cop said "have you had any alcohol tonight?". Richard Keys said "no". The cop said, "what have you been drinking then?". Richard Keys said "it was just Fanta".

Richard Keys went on a snorkeling trip off the coast of The Bantahamas.
When Keysie finally re - surfaced, Graysie asked Keysie what ocean creatures he'd seen. Keysie spoke of beautiful tropical fish, a few small sharks, some squid, but seemed rather taken with a huge ray he'd seen.
"A stingray?" asked Graysie. "No," Keysie replied.
"It was just Manta"
ASMRWhisperLight. Is it a bird, is it a plane?.... No, it was just Santa
Christophe David Nice one Christophe! Anyone else got a good Keysie gag?

Richard Keys one day felt like catching up with some old-school cartoons he grew up watching.
His mate walked in and asked "was that Snagglepuss on the telly just now?"
Keysie replied:
"It was just Pink Panther."
Richard's wife walks in on him watching something sketchy, Richard quickly turns the TV off and exclaims "It was just Setanta"
I think i can speak for all football fans when i say that none of us miss Richard Keys.
Derby fans dont like him.Roy McFarland once had a go at him over what he said about them.
Him and gray set a bar to this day sky haven't been able to get back to

Keys would have us believe he is a victim. The interviewer did not ask enough relevant questions. However I do miss Andy Gray's voice on MNF with Martin Tyler. That was the double-act worthy of note..

Jimmy Saville was your dad.
They weren't joking about! It wasn't "banter!" Anyone could tell from the tone of their voices that they were disgusted that a woman was running the line at Wolves that day. Sorry but if the host wants any credibility then THIS is the line that he should've pursued - they seem pally so that's obviously why he bottled it.
so what ... its not illegal to have an opinion....

This was Sky's excuse to bring in new pundit talent and promote Gary Neville, bring in Henry and Carragher. And to be fair it was needed, and Keys and Gray paid for it in ruthless fashion
Andy Gray was a brilliant pundit and that’s from a Blues supporter. He was always fair imo, unlike some I could mention now. Sky have always had an agenda and it’s the same now.
I miss those days and football was better back then.
It was just banter
No, it's not banter. It has held women down for hundreds of millions of years
@guyverjay never assume anything kiddo
If he "doesn't have any regrets" then why apologise?
He got advised to for the sake of his job probably. Obviously didn't work lol
He apologised because the new bosses at Sky said that if he didn’t then he’d be sacked.
Andy was sacked instantly & Richard resigned because of that.
Basically there were new bosses at Sky & they were gonna find a way to get rid of these two without having to pay out their salaries for unfair dismissal.
They were stitched up. I don’t particularly like either of them, but they were systematically shafted out of that job so that the new Sky bosses could push womens football & an ethnic diversity agenda.
1:28 a legendary meme was born..
shows what a pathetic politically correct world we live in
feminists
Nope, shows that the world is changing for the better. So just shuffle off mate.
griffnuts no, it was an off camera joke never meant to of been seen live, but some snowflake decided to send it in and ruin the commentating experience in the premier league, now commentators like Alan Smith are just boring and forgettable
Shows that we live in a world where we have respect for everyone, those two would never have joked about it with male refs.
GG2K7AU05 nowadays jokes about the opposite gender, race, and acts of terrorism, this is an extremely light joke made in private. Should never of been sacked
Sky is nothing without martin tyler and Andy gray commentary and Richard keys presenting end of story
Andy Grey is the Clarkson to Richard Keys Hamster.
Fucking hell who cares, bring back Keys and Andy Gray.
I loved Life's A Pitch. BT Sport had some great shows in their first few years. Now they are just a discount sky sports.
...i miss the Bants !!!!! 😁
I couldnt believe he is 65, i was convinced he was at least 75.
Not a chance Sian Massey ever said that it was just banter. This absolute joker.
That video where they're laughing at arsenal vs Croydon, had me in stitches. So funny.
True but the comments on the match are justified because it was pure banter😂😂💀
Yeah, it's still classic.
Richard and Andy on sky were the best
The only problem with your statement is that it's wrong.
DavidF 86 I’m sure Andy Gray and Richard Keys would agree with your statement! I mean it was only banter!
Gary neville has surpassed them.
@@dylancorcoran8801 Neville has good analysis, not even on the same planet as Andy Gray at commentary
Had an affair with his daughters teenage friend while his wife was suffering from leukemia.
Keys replied "It was just Cancer."
It was Jamie Redknapp, the worst pundit in football, who got Andy Gray, the best co-commentator in football, the sack. Keys has been replaced as host by Jeff Stelling and Ed Chamberlin both of whom I actually prefer and I think Gary Neville is a better pundit than Gray but no one else compares to him as a co-commentator
I miss them both. Gray with his Scottish voice and Keys with his English voice. Good luck to both of them. Just to be clear Chamberlain,Neville,Carragher.Redknapp.Souness and Hoddle I think are good as well.
Redknapp is a self absorbed airhead never was. Complete waste of space
8 years on and Gary Nevile is the biggest sell out, hypocrite and horrible commentator
Has Sian ever come out and said it was just banter? We only have his word for it, what she said on the phone...
I think she called it ‘patter and craic’ but when pressed she said it was ‘banter’
"Watching female football is like watching flamingos chasing a balloon across ice"
Ho Ho Ho better legs do what 😂FML 🤦🏻♂️
For future reference 👉🏻Though
😆🤣😂 Brilliant bants
"He didn't rewrite it, he invented it in it's modern form..." So he rewrote it...
Lmao, just shows how much bollocks this guy chats. Andy gray offers nowhere near the level of insight as the the current guys like carra, neville, henry, bellamy, given etc
@@thedunyadoneya2628 I think he's much better, as he's a long time retired ex pro, there's little to no bias in what he says. Neville is his equal but the others, including Carragher, are crud and just make up the numbers
Keys and Gray we’re brilliant.
I miss Richard keys and Andy Gray on sky sports sunday ,
Yeh cause of a room of lads never say anything remotely like this ... 👀
Dont miss Keys one bit but Andy Gray was a great co-commentator.
Yeah, that's my view too.
This man made sexist comments consistently for years. This was not a one time thing. Over and over again he spoke about how women shouldn't be in football and said they "don't understand" the offside rule. He now tries to claim it was just "banter." Racist, homophobic, and sexist comments are not "banter" they reveal the speaker's true feelings. He was caught out when he thought he couldn't be heard, his true nature was shown and he paid for it.
but hey how was he caught out, listen to what he said "a convo recorded on a mobile phone got leaked to the mail" and you think that is ok? what if someone was recording your conversations? and the bit about him saying good luck and speaking to her afterwards is also true. ffs even she said it was a bit of fun!!! and you do know about the whole apology thing. you see the press is very powerful with what they print or dont print. he apologised but someone didnt print it, until he chased them. you dont hear about all the civilians that US drones kill every year, why? because that would make the US government look bad. you dont hear about the fact this countries economics could escalate to that of the Wiemar Republic, why? you know. and remember that the Hyperinflation that was caused the rise of the nazi's
i believe that if someone was recording you secretly and illegally you would be pissed, i would. and im sure at some point in your life you have said something sexist, as a joke and not meant as anything else and that is in my eyes fine. im not saying it was correct thing to do. but it think it was blew out of context because of who he is. if that was you or me how many people do you think would care?
DrifterUnreal3 The point is that that was only 1 example of a dozen sexist (sometimes sexually harassing) comments he made at work. If you were caught making sexist comments at work you'd be fired too, and yes, decent people in your office would care. That's all I'm gonna say about it.
Defected Boss That comment literally makes no sense. Grammatically or logically.
It made perfect sense, read again.
Not banter. Banter is supposed to be funny, yet no-one was laughing. It was said quite seriously. Banter implies a bit of to and fro; not a bit of it was to be heard there.
Soeness saw the potential damage, as cameras running, gave Mr Keys a hushup kick. Good response.
Souness blamed Pogba.

Souness is actually very progressive and a good guy.

What really wound me up about the Keys/Gray thing at the time (and still does in general) was all of the people/media lining up to feel offended on somebody elses behalf. By all accounts Sian Massey took no offence, she probably couldn't give a fuck what two middle aged men on telly say off camera, believe me she'll hear far worse from the crowd stood a few feet behind her. It really annoys me when people get hysterically offended on behalf of somebody else who probably didn't give a fuck.
Their sacking had nothing to do with equality or sexism.. Andy Gray's legal action against Murdoch for allegedly tapping his phone had much more to do with it than anything these two said off camera. There were people in Sky who already wanted them out. Mobile phone footage doesn't send itself to the Mail on Sunday, that video of Gray putting the microphone down his trousers in front of Charlotte Jackson doesn't upload itself onto RUclips. Somebody has done all of that & it's nothing to do with Sian Massey.
I also remember Sian Massey was taken off of several games around that time, due to the intense, bonkers, unnecessary media attention around the whole story. For a few days the entire media became vocal opponents of sexism, but they all filled airtime and column inches for their own self promotion - Karren Brady etc. None of them gave a shit about Massey, she was just a convenient catalyst for them. All these people did was harm Masseys career to serve their own agenda against Gray & Keys.
I'm not saying Keys is a victim, because believe me neither of them two have lost anything. Both of them get paid more than they used to on Sky to spend all day on a Qatari beach & do a football TV show on Al Jazeera. The only victim was Sian Massey herself, deemed collateral damage in the medias quest to oust Gray & Keys. Personally I think Sky Sports is better now, with Chamberlain, Neville & Carra, but the Gray/Keys thing pissed me off then and it still does.
Bang on, if the person isnt offended its sod all to do with anyone else and it was off air anyway so no one else business or problem. Murdoch wanted them gone thats what people should talk about, that is dark forces. Sheep follow the rhetoric far too easily.
From what I heard... didn’t seem like banter at all
It wasn't a joke. A joke is a two way thing where both people are equals and enjoying it. This was not that.
“ He wrote the rule book ! “
People won’t realise how good and powerful they were .. and were brought down ..
From watching the clips of the comments made off camera it was clear to me that Keys and Gray thought they were untouchable... They'd been there since day one and thought they could do whatever they wanted...
They got played and they lost.
First rule of making a mistake; do not admit making a mistake. Blame it on the banter and fictional agendas. Poor Richard.
...Bants !!!!
What mistake? Having a laugh with his mate?
Getting sacked was good banter Richard! Just at your expense on this occasion. Don't give it out if your can't take it back.
I can't read a comment without the word "Banter" in it XD
Des Kelly wanted to laugh at him so bad but kept it professional
Andy gray made sky sports what it was he was second to none on commentary
And today he just married his daughter’s best friend 🤣
IT WAS JUST BANTER
Some People miss Andy gray but no one misses this pillick
They clearly had a hidden agenda against the both of them, there is a lot of double standards in the world, how did Kirsty Gallagher keep her job after being done for drink driving?

@@scottrobertson5554 He's got a foot like a traction engine!
He went on a tour to discover if he really was a sexist. It's called Richard Key's Sliced up Island.
He would give Prince Andrew a run for being too honourable. The mans fell on his sword for a good mate. He’s an example for us all.
Richard Nixon after Watergate “it was just banter” 👌
Keys feeling sorry for himself Yawn. How many other times did him and Gray talk like that without it being recorded? Good on the Mail and Sky on this occasion for the sackings, though I find both organisations sickening.
He's essentially saying he's annoyed he got caught.
I think I'm on the twilight zone or something, wth are all of this english people mad about? Those highlights were so laughably bad, AND they were supposed to be the height of women football in England.
I mean, those two are used to see the top tier of the UK's football, and they are suppose to respect lousy skill just because the players are women? I didn't expect the brits to be so politically correct...
@@SkyClap lmao stupid. Sian Massey is a ref, still officiating in PL because she's just too good.
