Sky Sports have terminated its contract with commentator Andy Gray following new evidence of "unacceptable behaviour".

The decision is effective immediately.

The new evidence, relating to an off-air incident that took place in December 2010, came to light after Gray had already been subjected to disciplinary action for his comments of January 22, 2011.

Barney Francis, managing director of Sky Sports, said: "Andy Gray's contract has been terminated for unacceptable behaviour.

"After issuing a warning yesterday, we have no hesitation in taking this action after becoming aware of new information today."

Yeah, Thats What I Was Saying.
We Have Men's and Girl's Football.
Men Officials Should Stay With Men's Football, Where As The Girl Officials Stay With Girls Football.

But The Comment That Andy Gray Said Was Still Sexist and Now He Is Paying The Price For It.

Thats discrimination and is sexist.
It's true that there is womans football and mens football but theres no reason why woman can't officiate in mens when men officiate in womans football.

Did andy gray warrant getting sacked? i don't know. What he did was wrong and he was rightly punished but if he came out and apoligised and if he learned his lesson he should have still had a job. Everyone makes mistakes and the one way to learn is to learn from our mistakes.

I think this is a knee jerk reaction from sky, they are getting bad publicity over this which they wont want - hence why i think he has been given the chop.

And yes no more fifa commentary from him - thank god
