So so SOOO sick of idiot women commentators in sport!  Presenters, yes, great.  Expert summarisers, like Alex Scott (rubbing thighs in the style of Vic Reeves on Shooting Stars), yes.  But Vicki Sparks and Robyn Cowans and the lesbian haircut that is Aleidh Barbour, just pss off!!!  With your ghastly shrieky voices!

Years ago women looked askance and sport and saw little boys with their games, and it became big-time and popular so of course women wanted in!  Like Gaming, once seen as sad boys in their bedrooms and basements, became big-time so now of course women want in and want to control games and their supposed sexism!

I am a woman but I don't like female presenters or commentators.  It is nothing to do with what gender you are but whether you know the game.  Playing some female football is not the same as premier league games.  I groan when I am watching match of the day and a female commentator comes on  Cry

If a woman can recognise a poor commentator and comment to that effect  then it kind of shows a woman can be a good commentator, not that they can't, but as of yet they have not met the standards of the listeners.

My Mrs doesn't like the female commentators on tv, but also doesn't like some blokes.

She can chat about football, with me and other folk at the game and in social conversations, and she never played the game

I quite like Alex Scott but she's more of a pundit, and maybe overused.

It might be that she had the timbre of a bored bricklayer and not the overexcited schoolgirl one often gets,  or simply that most people who do that gig are about as insightful as the Exchange and Mart, but I thought she was prescient and interesting throughout.

I don't care if they are men or women.  The vast majority of them are rubbish.  The box-ticking exercise is so obvious now, it is pathetic.

I'd say that some of the women know they have to work harder at the job.  Too many lazy feckers like Shearer and Macmanaman around - just think they need to turn up.

Can't think of many very good pundits, but Owen Hargreaves seems one of the best.

Why have so many ex-players as pundits rather than out of work coaches or managers?
