Brady outraged

Karren Brady has hit back at Sky Sports' dippy duo Andy Gray and Richard Keys, who were accused of sexism at the weekend.

Gray and Keys - who were suspended from their posts this morning - were caught speaking off-air about female linesman Sian Massey following an incident in the game between Wolves and Liverpool, before Keys added a comment about the West Ham vice-chairman.

"See charming Karren Brady this morning complaining about sexism? Yeah. Do me a favour love," Keys can clearly be heard saying in the recording.

A furious Brady reacted angrily to the recording this morning, telling the BBC that the remarks were clearly sexist: "It makes my blood boil. I don't think any of the comments were anything other," she stormed.

"You know - 'we'd better go down and tell her the offside rule.' I'm surprised they didn't say 'we'd better go down and tell here to put the kettle on.'

"I was very interested to see what Sky would do about it - and as far as I'm concerned they have had a slap on the wrist and that is it. I'm genuinely disappointed. It never would have occurred to me that they had those views, whether public or private.

"It almost makes it worse that they're speaking when the microphones are not on as opposed to when they are on," she continued. "Because [they have] never really had the brass neck to say it publicly, they would only say it privately."

Brady has recently used her column in The Sun (who have been publishing pictures of semi-nude women on a daily basis for the last 40 years) to complain about sexism within the industry.

She also claimed that had she been in possession of 'meat and two veg' that she would have enjoyed a far easier ride during her career.
