Subject: and don't get me started on co-commentators -can’t stand any of them which is one reason why I watch almost no football shown live on TV these days. Just wish the co-commentators would understand that less is much much more. Fulham games are the worst - if we are not playing well don't need bleedin Steve McManaman or Alan Smith constantly to bang on about it. Really wish there was crowd noise only option on all platforms.
In reply to: f bloke 's message, "I have no problem with female pundits if they are knowledgeable or insightful - no different from the men. Many old pros offer v little insight to games whereas decent football analysts like Adam Clery of 442 offer way more insight. Also no problem with female anchors - Gabby Logan/Kelly Cates as good as any. Do struggle with many/most female commentators since voices get a bit screechy when excited or under stress. You need the right voice tone to commentate without irritating" on Monday, January 13, 01:59:20pm

  • Whatever knowledge and insight the female pundits offer doesn't come from experience. For every female pundit there is a better qualified male pundit who didn't get the job. (NT) -- Hammersmithender, Monday, January 13, 03:02:21pm (NoHost/31.94.74.67)
  • I think you don't need the playing experience to be a pundit - I think most ex pros don't have the work ethic or the intellectual rigour to match the best analysts - the BBC lot have next to no analytical insights whatsoever - they just pitch up and wing it. That said - not sure I have seen any of the female pundits really stand out on the analytics front although as an anchor I think Gabby Logan reads the game better than a good number of former pro pundits (NT) -- f bloke, Monday, January 13, 04:10:23pm (host86-134-8-67.range86-134.btcentralplus.com/86.134.8.67)
