Holmesy Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) 4 hours ago, STM said: Yep, I was listening to an "ex pro" talking about Brailsford potentially going into Man United as director and they referred to him as not a "footballing person", as if you need to be an ex footballer to have a decent grasp on the game. Give me an Allcott over a shite ex footballer every day of the week. Absolutely no issue with women commentators, so long as they know their onions and as has been mentioned, loads of blokes who know fuck all. I guess it depends in what capacity he's going into the club. If it's head of performance it makes perfect sense. He's probably as good as anyone in sport at squeezing more performance out of athletes, using data. If it's chief goalkeeping coach, they're absolutely right, but which club is stupid enough to do that?! There are certain areas where I agree a background in the game is essential - case in point, these fucking morons who have never played the game systematically ruining it by implementing refereeing systems and rules that don't work, to justify their existence. As for pundits, i'd far rather watch some of the women than the likes of Merson, Clinton Morrison or God forbid, Bruce - a proven failure with no tactical knowledge at all, giving his opinion on Pep's team setup. Fucking chancers! Edited December 7, 2023 by Holmesy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I am ashamed to say I once had a Barton shirt I was only 20-21. But still no excuse. What an absolute disgrace of a human being he is. Can't stand the cunt these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) What's he trying to prove with that completely innocuous clip? Has anyone hired this woman or is she just someone on social media? Does anyone want to start sending him clips of some of the absolute dipshit men that are trying to make a living from football on social media, too? So funny how many men get up in arms about how women aren't 'qualified' to talk about men's football as if 90% of men 'analysing' the game have fuck all insightful to say.

This was what I was saying the other day to someone. When they were moaning about a particular female pundit/commentator. It seems too easy to single them out. When you can basically count on one hand the amount of decent male pundits we regularly see on the likes of Sky, BBC and BT/TNT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's far worse, mind I called him being a horrible little cunt and a bad signing from the get go. I almost wish I had social media back then so I could have it on record. On second thoughts, no I don't 16 year old me with a Twitter account. Good God no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I need is Michael Owen telling me the key to winning games is scoring goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Probably fancies aligning himself with the Andrew Tate crowd. Don’t be surprised if this moves onto antivax, anti immigration etc to fall in with that lot as well. Easy way to build a big following online and get yourself onto something like Piers Morgan Uncensored. Edited December 7, 2023 by Decky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 What an absolute doughnut. The clip he shared there is really exactly what the game needs to continue thriving. If that content resonates with a new type of audience and demographic, absolutely fantastic. Would I rather the game is welcoming to all types of viewers, and highlights the best commentators, panellists, journalists and sportspeople. Or would I rather see more topless, fat lads jeering profanely from the sidelines while listening to the likes of Michael Owen, Robbie Savage etc and protecting the 'men's game'. In reality we should get to a stage where there is no real gender split in football at all. However, obviously to protect the women's game I do think it benefits from separating male and female competitors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon no one wants him in management and no one wants him in the studio so it’s “I never liked football anyway. It’s shite and you know what’s worse, women! Am i right fellas?” No doubt he’ll be getting a co-presenting slot alongside everyone’s favourite cunt Laurence Fox if he keeps this up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
