So, if one is drinking in the pub with friends, both male and female and the topic turned to the days games. Does a mans opinion of the game have greater weight than a womans? Do you check the peoples credentials on football before they comment?
Football commentary and punditry is just an extension of normal everyday discussion and debate. We all have our own opinions and are free to say someone else is talking crap, as i do often

Why should women be excluded from contributing to that? Seriously, removing a womans right to comment or express an opinion is taking us back to the middle ages
