Blown out of proportion as per usual when women and their rights are involved.

It's absolutely ridiculous and was even talked about on Question Time! My personal view is that they were stupid to get caught but it's called banter for goodness sake, no actual harm was meant by it and the lady in question sure got the last laugh when she proved beyond any doubt that she, like me and many other women, do know the offside rule very well. Such a shame that the media are now ensuring that she can't get on with her job.

One of the comments on QT was that, as a nation, we are collectively losing our sense of humour; something I'd have to agree with.

She shouldn't run the line because her appearance would overshadow the game. An official should never overshadow a match.

As for Keys and Gray, they were at work, being paid by Sky at the time. A) It's up to them what happens, and B) If I did that in a newsroom I'd be straight out.

Too me, it seems somebody was out to get Gray & Keys, seems strange that all these videos have appeared on YouTube, I must have seen about three now, all separate incidents, somebody from sky has to be uploading them. I presume that the pair were blackmailing sky over new contracts or something, and as a result they released the footage to get rid of them.
I know what I am writing has little proof, but whatever happened it seems dodgy too me.
