Pundits is a different ball game. To me Emma Hayes wins that one hands down. Presenting is not the same and Gabby Logan could do that job. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 12 minutes ago, Vidal said: Alex Scott is the worst presenter I have seen fronting live football, she is only there because she is female and black. Fronting live sport requires a level of clarity and depth of understanding and she lacks it. In my view the perfect example of someone in a position due to her characteristics rather than talent. Before people moan there are some outstanding female presenters out there, Balding is clearly brilliant as is Emma Patton, Emma Saunders and the Italian sky football reporter. They are far superior to Scott. Balding is the worst by a distance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 26 minutes ago, Tinmans Love Child said: I'd prefer an actual journalist/presenter supported by ex players personally, rather than a cast of ex pros. The Keys and Gray combo on Sky worked the best for me (until the smash it stuff ). Agreed with this, much prefer a decent actual presenter backed up by ex pros.

Presenting is not the same and Gabby Logan could do that job. Gabby Logan is an excellent presenter on all sports covered by the BBC and she doesn’t pretend to be anything else. I find several of the female pundits (Emma Haynes excluded) voices irritating. They rarely contribute anything of interest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree regarding Gabby Logan, i didn’t watch the World Cup so don’t know whether she’s improved or not but when Alex Scott started on soccer am she was pretty wooden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a fine broadcaster though I have an irrational thing about him. Listen to him on 5 Live and he invariably calls Man Utd MANchester United with loud emphasis on the first syllable. Yet he can't seem to get Man City right, usually mangling it as Manchessity. What's that you say, get a life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a high bar you’d think,but too high for many. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negan Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 53 minutes ago, Numero Uno said: Alex Scott will be up there. Jesus wept I hope not. Has to be the most average pundit/presenter there is. She unfairly gets a lot of stick, she also gets far too much praise, mostly people over compensating because of the crap she gets. Truth is, she’s boring. Everything she says sounds rehearsed. Far too serious also. Need someone who can have a laugh with the other pundits otherwise you might as well watch sky sports highlights. Laura Woods literally outperforms her in every department, would much rather she get it if it “has” to be a woman because that’s the world we live in now. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
