RedM Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I groaned when I turned on the tv and heard who the commentators were. Puts me off watching. He makes a comment and you can hear his smugness at how intelligent/knowledgeable/clever or funny he thinks he is. Ugghhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 BBC co-commentary choice of Phil Neville or Mark Lawrenson is the stuff of nightmares. Both of them have about as much insightful commentary to put through the mic as a sea cucumber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I am going to sound controversial but need to get off my chest how does everyone feel about the tick box on diversity and inclusion In respect of women now being a part of commentary teams and panels? i am trying hard to be objective but not sure how much Alex Scott, eni eluko and Jacqui oatley add to the party and it all appears a little awkward when they are sat next to true footballing greats. i may be slaughtered for this but meh I can take it but world has gone pc mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hate him. At least they have stopped the plastic Irishman from doing the England games any more. Remember once under Sven he started all this “we” nonsense, forgetting I suppose that he pretended to be Irish to play international football.

She was absolutely awful, and very noticeably so. Jacqui Oatley and to an extent Alex Scott have been ok imho. Certainly better than Phil Neville and Mark Lawrenson that's for sure. Haven't really seen Eni Aluko. People should be there on merit and there's people of both genders who don't deserve to be. Think Evra is terrible as well.

Hello Dave Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 This is gonna come across as sexist, but women haven't got a clue about football , and to have one as a commentator or pundit is just wrong.

nebristolred Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Bunch of idiots in here, some of these comments ffs I'll agree the pundits aren't necessarily the best, same with the women commentators I've heard. But there are tons of absolutely crap male pundits and commentators too. With a smaller sample size, it's mathematically going to be slightly longer before you find a great female pundit purely because there are less of them. I think in general most pundits are a bit irritating or a bit crap to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
