Does it piss anyone off having ex women footballers as pundits for the Premier league, Its just another box to tick to be equal. I don't agree with it, should be players from that league etc. What's wrong with nevile, redknapp and carragher spitting everywhere? Instead there's a lesbian giving her analysis for Chelsea vs Southampton.

It's PC madness to the ultimate extreme - ticking a box yet again.
Achieves nothing and contributes nothing to the programmes.

It's my favourite new hobby watching sky sports super Sunday and seeing how pissed off Graeme Souness gets when it's him kelly dalglesh and that bird who used to play for England.
He gets more and frustrated as the show goes on.

Whether it's PC nonsense or not, we need to work towards a balance. It's the FA who banned women's football and set it back 50+ years after all. How is the women's game going to improve if girls don't have role models who make them realise "I can be a footballer"?
I haven't seen any of the pundits on Sky, but some male pundits are pretty poor. Also, some pundits probably have to tone it down for the audience, to cater to the casual football fan rather than the knowledgeable football fan.

Michael Owen has been saying nothing of any meaning for years and getting paid for it.
I don't see the point in being outraged now that a woman has started doing it.

Pc has overtaken everything. I like to watch the cricket and there are some very knowledgeable ex players commentating bothan, Lloyd, tuffers, gower etc yet they now have women who totally destroy the entertainment factor the male presenters are constantly on their guard should they mutter something un pc
Women should stick to commentating on the women's game.

Weve been moaning on here for years about how shit the male pundits are, now we get a change and people are still moaning, it's like an Olympic sport in Stoke.
i don't have skysports but watch BT sport, some of the women are a welcome change to some of the male pundits

I bet it won't be long before men and women start playing in the same side next, well you never no they might just embarrass so stoke players I wouldn’t really mind that. As long as clubs combined their men’s squads, their women’s squads and their trans squads (are there any yet?) and then picked the side on merit (with no artificial quotas). They do it in equestrian, mixed doubles in tennis and badmington and, presumably, some other sports (although I can’t think of any at the moment) and, in those sports, women commentators are generally ok (except Clare Balding). |

Do people actually listen to the content provided, or does the steam coming out of their ears prevent this?
Case in point, Aluko at the World Cup delivered a fantastic appraisal of Costa Rica's playing style, formation and best players....meanwhile Evra and Henrik Larsson just ran through the usual cliches.

Achieves nothing and contributes nothing to the programmes. Absolutely spot-on summary, Dees - agree with every word.  I wasn't sure, but I thought there was only one (*) female footie commentator who regularly does half-time &/or after-match updates on BBC TV, and I - aaaaaggghhhh - cannot stand the sound of her voice. Whenever there's a snippet of her commentating on the action during a match, her voice keeps getting higher and higher & I literally have to turn the sound off immediately before I throw sth heavy at the screen. (*) I've just Gd 'BBC female football commentator' and two names came up - Jacqui Oatley and Vicki Sparks - and after hearing a bit (ie. as little as possible) of them both on YT they sound very similar and TBH I couldn't stand listening to either of them as their voices just aren't right for a footie commentator - and I'm not saying that because we're all used to listening to men's deeper voices - it's because in this case men's deeper voices are simply 100% more suitable. Stuff political correctness on this one - only men should do footie commentaries, and I can't understand how anyone could say otherwise! |

I really don't have any issue with anyone talking football as long as they are any good.
the unattractive scouse one, she's good rather listen to her than lots of the male pundits

I think it's a good idea myself.
For instance, have you ever tried to knock one out over Dan Walker on Football Focus??? Impossible!!
Now that Alex Scott is a regular however, problem solved!

Who gives a shit though really what Alex Scott thinks they're not associated with that league or men's game so I don't get it? That attitude excludes all journalists too. I often find journalists who have never played football have more interesting things to say than ex-players. Some of the best sport commentators never participated professionally in the sport they're known for commentating on. |

As Woodbine Wrightwat wrote in a recent issue of The Oatcake:
Great Scott!
AM I the only one who is at all concerned that Sky and BT Sports have yielded to political correctness and started to introduce too many female presenters, like Alex Scott (above), to our football shows?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m as in favour of equal opportunities as anybody, and who doesn’t like to see an attractive lady on the TV?
However, if you’re going to comment on top class Premier League and international football you have to know what you’re on about and I do worry about some of these young ladies.
Yes, they have played a lot themselves but so have all of the Sunday pub footballers in the country and probably in front of bigger crowds than you get at most women’s matches.
Most worrying of all is that these studio jobs used to be a nice little earner for retired male players and they’re now losing these jobs. No wonder so many former Premier League pros are reportedly in financial trouble at the end of their careers.
Since great lads’ magazines like Nuts and Loaded ceased publication the girls have had nowhere to go and earn some money in their undies and now they want the men’s jobs to make up for it.
I’m feeling very uneasy about to all to tell the truth!
