I know we don't get on, but just stop, you openly admit you don't know anything about football, which in itself is fine, we all have the right to like, and not stuff, but the more you post about this in comparing the men's game to the woman's game, the more you're digging yourself into a hole. They're simply not comparable.

As for the women on commentary and as pundits, 90% are literally awful and it's shocking at how bad their knowledge is tbh, however i don't let it bother me unlike *cough* Zizu *cough* . But in saying that, a good 75% of the men are just as awful too. I rarely bother listening to any of it anymore.

I agree with @Swan about most of the commentators and pundits being godawful.

They have no clue what they're even on about half of the time.

There is ONE decent female ‘footie expert’ and that’s Sue Smith .. sadly she is locked into the Sky Sports Saturday LIVE Scores programme Channel 409 and doesn’t appear anywhere eise . She is actually knowledgeable and likeable- she’s a natural who doesn’t try too hard like all the others .

It’s the “it’s a man’s game” that’s hilarious though. It’s not even that important.

Whether it’s comparable or not.

Meh, you rarely hear the "it's a man's game" draconian view anymore. In fact, football is the biggest, most multi cultured, and universal game in the world. It brings people from all walks of life together. The days of the (usually white) racist/homophobic/misogynistic lager lout fans have reduced tremendously in the last 15/20 years. Most people aren't bothered if it's men or women on the commentary, or as pundits, but the issue is, and this is just the truth, in recent years (last 3 or 4) women have been rushed into men's coverage of football, which is perfectly fine in itself, but they are presented as "experts" which they clearly aren't.

But i don't really want to debate this, Arsenal vs Man Utd is about to start. My advice would be (to people like Zizu ) if you don't like it, don't listen to it, don't watch the chat before and after the game. It's not that deep. If you put men, and women together in the hat of pundits and commentators, a good 80% are shockingly bad and annoying. It's nothing new.

Excellent post …

For myself when required

I mute the commentary and sync with the BBC radio commentary or Talksport but we shouldn’t have to tbh

Interesting that you are able to know what people are likely to think about all manner of things

Quite a skill

Not all manner of things, no, but Ali is a self-proclaimed feminist and you are.....certainly not, so it's a logical conclusion to come to

You seem to think that I don’t respect women which is entirely incorrect .. the exact opposite in fact .

You have also had it in for me since I said that I didn’t like women boxing or doing MMA as I feel its just too dangerous as women are just made differently.

These two paragraphs contradict each other.

PS. I don't "have it in" for you, I find a lot of your posts in regards to women draconian and sexist so I'm going to call them out, I have a right to voice my opinion too even though I'm a woman

I will never understand how me caring about the wellbeing of female fighters can be seen as disliking women !!!



You seem to be always taking the opposite stance though … on all manner of things nothing to do with unqualified woman punditry ..

I seem to recall making disparaging comments about Katie Taylor ages ago - someone you idolise and so you just seem to hate on me ..

Nope. There you are with the "all manner of things" claim again. I'm pretty sure I've only ever taken issue with your outdated and backward opinions on women. Or are you accusing me of only pretending to care about women's rights because you said something bad about Katie Taylor one time?

I like Sue Smith and Clinton Morrison off of that Show, oh and Paul Merson.

The others I find to be a bit dull on there tbh.

You demonstrably don't respect or even like women Zizu and it pours out of 90% of your post by the bucketload. In fact I'd place you somewhere closer to outright contempt. This isn't based on "mind reading" or any mystical skill beyond ... reading. Just simply reading your posts about women.

It doesn't "cancel out" or "go on balance" -- you make your contempt for women clear on a near-daily basis... it's not undone by saying "but these ones are OK I suppose".
