Cold weather claims another race meeting
January 31, 2011
As January comes to a close once again the cold weather that seems to be blighting sporting events this year has claimed yet another victim as Ludlow Racecoruse has called of all racing today. We do still have meetings going ahead at Ayr and on the all weather course at Wolverhampton.
However with the sun now beginning to shine and create a little bit of warmth punters betting at Ayr will be hopefully warmed up even more by Paddy Powers cash back offer on the 4:00pm race today. If you back a horse that is winning this race at the final hurdle but then fails to win the race for you then you will have your single stake bet money refunded back into your account. The favourite for this race is Super Ally ridden by Brian Harding at odds of 5/1.

Will smashing Richard Keys be fronting sports on Arabic TV?
January 28, 2011
Following on from our story earlier this week on where Andy Gray would be heading next there has been new information received that the either Keys or the pair of presenters could be reunited on Arabic TV as the faces of sports for the Al Jazeera television. The station that broadcasts across the Arab World and western world via Satellite from Qatar currently broadcasts 8 sports channels. Al Jazeera is known for attracting some of the cream of British television presenters having employed the services of Sir David Frost, Hamish Macdonald and Rageh Omaar.
Once all the fuss has blown over concerning the remarks that Keys and Gray made concerning the ability of Sian Massey to know the offside rule and the further remarks featured in a leaded Sky Sports video shown on YouTube concerning whether Jamie Redknapp had “smashed it”

Where next for Andy Gray?
January 27, 2011
Following the sexist comments made by Sky Sports presenters Andy Gray and Richard Keys Sky Sports have sensationally sacked Gray as one of their presenters whilst Richard Keys has resigned his position as he has stated that “Going forward without Andy would have been almost impossible”. It may become quite sad now to watch the live football on Sky without Keys and Gray with his magic pen. There is even speculation that Electronic Arts may have to remove the commentary from the their next FIFA Football Game that is due out in November.
There is even some speculation (that was hinted at in a Richard Keys radio interview) that the real reason behind Grays sacking was that he was taking on the News of The World for allegedly hacking his and other celebrities mobile phone accounts and that as Sky and the News of the World are ran by the same company that it was inevitable that something would happen to his career.
The pair of presenters have been the face of Sky Sports since the television company began their football coverage of the top flight matches back in 1992 and there already Facebook campaigns in action to demand that they return to Sky. Gray and Keys will not be out of the game for long and are sure to turn up presenting somewhere soon.
What programme will Gray next feature in?
All odds for this special market come from bookmakers William Hill.
- Come Dine With Me – Evens
- Loose Women panellist – 5/2
- Match of the Day – 8/1
- Strictly Come Dancing – 10/1
- I’m A Celebrity – 12/1
Who will be Grays Replacement
It has been rumoured that Sky were looking to increase the screen time of some of their younger/prettier presenters and Jamie Redknapp fits that bill.
- Jamie Redknapp – 1/2
- Graeme Souness – 5/1
- Ray Wilkins – 8/1
- Chris Kamara – 10/1
- Alan Hansen – 20/1
- Chris Hughton – 20/1
- Jimmy Hill – 80/1
- Louise Redknapp – 100/1
Bye Bye Andy
We are sure Sky Sports will not be the same without him.
Sam Attwater is still the favourite to win Dancing On Ice 2011
January 26, 2011
The next celebrity is set to be booted off Dancing on Ice this coming weekend. We have already seen the first 4 contestants removed in what was billed as a quarter final phase to gain entry in the main event.
The first celebrity to be shown the door on the show in the proper format this season was former Coronation Street actor Steven Arnold after losing the dance off to England cricketer Dominic Cork. Cork is the favourtite celebrity to be eliminated on the next show on 30th January with odds of 9/4. In close to contention to follow him out of the door is Dave Vity (best known as comedy Dave from the Chris Moyles radio show) who is at odds of 7/2 and Denise Welch (another Corrie star) who is showing at odds of 9/2.
The favourite to win the show is still former Eastenders actor Sam Attwater who has been leading the Dancing on Ice Betting since the show started. One celebrity who is keen to win and improve the publics view of her persona following a very rough roasting she has had in the press is Kerry Katona. Katona was once the winner of I’m A Celebrity, the face of Iceland and a Celebrity Parent of the Year winner but recent stories in the press about her drug taking and personal life have not helped her cause.

January 25, 2011
Two of the leading football presenters on Sky Sports have found themselves in hot water over the weekend following the comments they made about the female official Sian Massey during the game between Wolves and Liverpool. Andy Gray and Richard Keys who when believing that they were off air made several suggestions such as that a woman should not be doing that job as they “don’t know the offside rule” and “somebody better get down there and explain offside to her”.
Following the incident the broadcaster Sky has released a statement stating that the pair had both apologised for their remarks and that the broadcaster had removed them from covering the Bolton v Chelsea game that took place last night.
