NUFC_Chris Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 He’s entitled to his opinion without people getting so upset about it, or it being even remotely considered controversial. Female pundits have not lived the same experience as the top level men when offering opinions on men’s football. The same could be said for men commenting on the women’s game.

gbandit Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Bizarre debate this one like. Think I’ll excuse myself, prejudice against women is misogyny. I’ve got no issue with people disliking certain female pundits but the idea that they will always be unwelcome or worse than male pundits is mad. See you soon lads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I’m fine with broadcasters having female pundits, but I also don’t think they’ve played the game at a very good standard, compared to the men, and I’m not sure their experience is all that relevant. If I cared about what pundits are saying, this may create an issue. Of course, most male pundits are shite anyway, which renders it a bit of a non-issue.

Its a solution to a problem that doesnt exist It's not sudden, there's been an imbalance in society with bias towards men for a long, long time It's a measure taken to address an imbalance in our society which can be observed in many aspects of society and culture, one of which is sport It's a solution to a problem that does exist but you can't see/don't care about because you're a man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Womens football is coming along in leaps and bounds . Its possible to have advancement for women and womens football without having female pundits / commentators the mens game .

WilliamPS Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Daft comments from Keagan, and before people go on about wanting men on men’s games, remember it’s the same root cause as all those ex pros who tell fans “you’ve never played the game at a top level so you can’t comment” it’s a way of busted old knackers protecting what they see as their patch from outsiders or defending themselves when their opinions are nonsense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Current WSL matches you seem to get much more time on the ball than you do in 2023 Premier League, but then the football of Keegan's playing era looks slower paced and less intense as well (remember being able to pass back to the keeper and have him pick it up?) . He still seems willing to stick his oar in about the modern game though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Using an example, if you're more interested in listening to the opinions of Agbonlahor or Merson over, say, Alex Scott, and your reason for that is "because they're men" then it doesn’t matter whether you say you're a misogynist or not, you're still the definition of one.

Wolfcastle Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) I don't mind Vicki Sparks at all which suggests its not about sex but ablity and style and to be fair cant stand most of the male commentators now either. There's just no art to it now. Pundit-wise there's a tendency to want some experience at the level they're pontificating on but at the same time since John Burridge's rant back in the day about not having a worthy opinion unless you've played I realised that's too blanket. The opinions of many footballers from the highest level might be interesting to know but whether they could transfer it into punditry or opinionated brain farts is random (Merson for example). Women hosting is seamless. Having a crush on Eilidh Barbour helps. That said Keegan's not said anything I disagree with.
