Well when she started I made a comment to the effect that this wasn't right and trivialised the game.
My 11 year old daughter then said I was being completely unfair and sexist.
Within a minute she had changed her mind and agreed it just didn't sound right. ;D

I was watching it in a pub with the sound off (well, very low). My mate said he could hear her and I didn't believe him. What's the world coming to?

I honestly thought that her being the commentator gave us more air time, because they wouldn't dare risk any "sexist" allegations.
She was damn poor though.

I'm all for having a woman commentator but at least get one who's good. Another case of politicallly correct nonsense undermining genuine skill and ability in an employment process! That's one of the reasons this country is hitting the fan at the moment!! On a lighter note i agree Gabby Logan would be good! Hazel Irvine would probably do alright n all. There must be some very clued up ladystokie out there who could commentate! Though they'd need to have a nice voice aswell so probably not...

......or as one poster on another forum said -
".....and jackie oatley, it's nice that that the BBC hired a woman but they couldn've at least hired one who didn't sound like a b@stard "
bit strong? Nah, not really!

I'm still convinced that her "commentary" is done after the game and isn't "real time" at all. It seems out of sync, if it is done live she must have the reactions of a slug.

That's what I thought, she seemed to 'know' that Sidibe would score before the cross came over, no doubt she was commentating in real time but said something stupid.

Dreadful, just dreadful.
Okay, we may get female commentators but at least get someone with some talent and ability. That lady last night was really, really bad.

I'm obviously in a minority on here, but I think she's OK. I think she's a better radio commentator than TV, but certainly not the worst on TV. I'd rather have her than Motty anyday, but that's setting the bar quite low. But I agree that some of it did have a 'dubbed' feel about it, but that sometimes occurs with male commentators as well. Don't we have more important things to both worry about and celebrate ?

Agree with Malcolm - certainly not very good, but far from the worst (David Pleat?).

I suppose putting a tart to comment, while watching the Baggies tarts, is fair enough.

Very obviously tokenism employment , they need to get rid and fast. However she might not sound too bad when we've had an Albanian trans-sexual do the next F.A. cup final.

Let's make it clear, it has nothing to do with her being a woman, just that she's crap.
Having not watched MOTD for 23 years until this season (obviously) I am very disappointed with the commentaries that are clearly added after the game. We've had a few of these on our games this season.
They could at least do a better job. It was so obvious she was in a room away from the pitch (stadium?) and so unconvincing. With modern technology, they could at least make it sound like she was watching the game.
Just being given a badly written script and told to read it after the game does not cut it.

She was definitely at the game, interviewed Pulis and Moanbrey afterwards. For some reason she was asking Pulis about our away form? I'm sure she is the same fool who once said to Joe Royle who was then Everton's manager after they had beaten Liverpool that o.k they've beaten Liverpool but it is only 3 points..he replies, 'Only a woman would say that' ;D

I find her screeching really annoying, its the voice for me more than being a woman. She also uses a lot of stats as if to say I know what I am talking about, aswell as many cringing cliches.
PC gone mad, but I wonder if she would of got the job with a voice like that if she was 15st and Bellamys sister, I doubt it. All I can think of the BBC must watch the games with the mute button pushed.

I actually thought my 11 year old son had nipped into the commentary box to comment on the match. But then I realised that not even he could come out with so much bollocks.

She's got a lot better over time, she was really nervous at first and I wasn't sure she'd be any good but imo she's doing ok now.
Sexism's still alive and well in football then, just stop and think for a moment how it must feel being on the receiving end of all this abuse just because you happen to have ovaries.

Can't agree with any of that. If they're ok I don't care if its a man or woman but it sounds like she is reading it from a script and is faking just about everything. If they found a good woman commentator that'd be fine but she isn't remotely good imo

She's not getting grief because she's got ovaries. She's getting grief because she's crap. But having ovaries obviously clouds one's own point of view. Must be terrible being an inherently unstable ever changing bag of chemicals.

She's just a shit commentator-end of. Nothing to be with being a woman, Celina Hinchcliffe is quite a decent commentator I think but this Jackie woman is terrible. Motty was doing my tits in last night too! Regarding Van Persies goal-everyone knows that is a foul, maybe it shouldn't be but it is. The way he harped on about it was like someone has just been shot. And when Richards blatantly won the ball and gave the ref some stick (rightly so imo) he had a go at Richards and then when in the replay he clearly saw the ball being won, he still acted like Richards had committed a foul!

Claire Balding and Sue Barker are perfectly decent at their jobs no arguments, it is absolutely laughable that someone who seems to have no feel for the game whatsoever should end up being a commentator?
