Sky man disciplined for Massey comments

The controversy surrounding comments by Sky Sports presenters Richard Keys and Andy Gray took a new twist today when reporter Andy Burton was disciplined for referring to assistant referee Sian Massey as a “bit of a looker”.

Burton was stood down from tomorrow night’s Carling Cup semi-final second leg between Birmingham and West Ham after footage emerged of him remarking on the appearance of Massey.

It followed Sky Sports’ decision to remove Keys and Gray from duty before last night’s Barclays Premier League game between Bolton and Chelsea after both were recorded making off-air remarks about Massey.
