Hampshire Red Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 The BBC have called their result yesterday their first win since July. Does it really count against that shambolic outfir across town? Then on BBC MoTD highlights, they (two women, politically correct in every sense out of three) desrbided the home team as 'Bristol' - does this both anyone on OTIB? There is only One Team in Bristol and they certainly werent losing to a team in pink shirts yesterday. Worth a letter or two to the national broadcaster who seem to think football commentary should join cricket and rugby commentary as being best delivered by ladies who have never played in a mans' game. Fine that they commentate on WSL but really, what next, some little beauty criticising a front row for not being aggressive enough against an All Black front row? Good on Chorley by the way but scenes of their mens dressing room being giggled at by Alex whatshername is just taking our game to new lows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I think it's just great that the Blades have finally found a shambles easy enough to beat. I just knew their first win was not far away as soon as I saw the draw. Nothing wrong with female pundits, so long as they know what they are talking about. Rather see them than that overpaid, big eared, crisp munching twit on MOTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only Alex Scott was as knowledgeable about the game as you she could suggest that Jamaica international Bobby Reid was going to get an England call up. How’s that coming along by the way?

Harry Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Male pundits refer to us as Bristol as much as female pundits. So, I guess, nothing to see here. Move along. And for what it’s worth, I think Alex Scott is an excellent pundit. Better than many of the men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviestevieneville Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Couldn’t careless if it’s men , women, gay , straight. All they need to be is knowledgable about the game. Gabby Logan, Alex Scott , Kelly cates (dalglish) Laura woods as examples are excellent football presenters/pundits . Certainly much better than the likes of Robbie savage, Tony pulis , Ian Holloway and Paul Merson . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herta Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Must be cold out there in the cave this morning. We get called Bristol all the time. Alex Scott is a brilliant pundit, gabby has been around for years precisely because how good she is. Seriously, why do some men hate sharing the game with women so much?

Some of the other pundits mentioned above at least offer some entertainment with their experience in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcredandwhite Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I would expect it has been the same for Sheffield United and Wednesday too - both being referred to as ‘Sheffield’. Oxford United are referred to simply as ‘Oxford’ - but there is an Oxford City too. Swindon Town are referred to as ‘Swindon’, but there is Swindon Supermarine too. I do find it slightly annoying when we (or the Gas) are referred to as ‘Bristol’ though - a bit like to the same level I’m annoyed about some mushrooms that are going off in the fridge - I really should have cooked them. What a waste of 99p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there was me thinking that Hampshire was an educated county.... I love fishing in these difficult times. You might notice that from some of the light hearted nonsense I post. Then again you might think they’re serious threads. They aren’t. Mind you I liked how Alex Scott pronounced Milton Keynes. And Gabby Logan referred to them as MK Dons. I ended up wondering if Milton was related to Maynard. John not Nicky. And which cock would get upset about her calling Rovers Bristol. And who’d start a thread about it. Well here’s the winner........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underhanded Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I joined OTIB in 2017. Post semi-regularly, yet read a lot of threads and posts (I don't venture into the non-football forum, I wonder if this is what it's like?!). I enjoy deliving into threads of all shapes and sizes, and fully expect there to be questionalble debate, opinions I disagree with, and the occasional oddball spouting nonsense - that's par for the course on a football forum. However I doff my cap, congratulations on creating the most moronic and tragic thread I've read here to date. The absolute STATE of it. I'm almost impressed. I hope everyone enjoyed City's win today!

Hampshire Red Posted January 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Love the replies, so some of you have all got the point. I don't like the gas being given the name 'Bristol' as implies there isn't another, nor a much better team in Bristol. Also, I like Gabby Logan but find it odd that two woman plus Dublin are asked to present 90mins of men's football. They aren't bad would wouldn't you all find it odd if Antony Joshua presented tv coverage of ladies beach volleyball when there are ex-players who could take the mic'. Anyway, we are through to round 4 of the FA Cup and the bluefew can concentrate on getting their oranges delivered to a new training pitch. That feels better.
