The linesperson story will run and run
I HOLD no brief for Andy Gray but doesn't it seem a little unfair to give a man a warning about his conduct and then sack him for something that happened before the warning? writes Peter Rhodes.

Not that this female-linesperson saga is over.
The story has gone through the usual stages of disclosure, reaction and retaliation.
Watch out next for the "well, fancy that" moment.
This happens when a bright young hack finds an unknown professor doing obscure research into the human brain who admits that, yes, there is a difference between male and female spatial awareness.
The prof will be horrified the next morning to find his picture in the tabloids under the headline: "It's official - women can't understand the offside rule."
He will protest that he said no such thing but it's too late.
This one will run and run.
