Sounds like you're lumping all women commentators together based on one person on match of the day

 

Like me saying I can't listen to Sam Matterface so therefore I don't like male commentators

 

Well I'm going off the only example I know of as the main commentator, so that's all I can go off. I also categorically said that for the most part the female co-commentators have been great. I think you are just seeing what you want to see.

Barton is a clown his appearance on the James English podcast was embarrassing. Barton is starting up his own podcast wouldn’t be surprised if this isn’t just some nonsense to whip up a frenzy and traction for it

Easy to forget about this after tonight’s game but Barton was on Piers Morgan tonight and unsurprisingly he’s changed his argument from all women shouldn’t be allowed to talk about the men’s game to it being earned on merit. I thought the interview was going well until he invited not one but three extra people on and it just became a shouting match.
 

It’s quite sad too that they invited that mess Pearl Davis on to obviously just spew out controversial nonsense. Barton of course loved her because she’s exactly the type of person he’d have on his own podcast.

That bit I agree with. They can make very decent co-commentators though when they're not trying to sound like the female version of Martin Tyler.

I’m the other way - female commentators haven’t really arsed me one bit.  I haven’t heard a female co-commentator I’ve liked.

 

 

 

 

 

I haven’t heard a male one I’ve liked either, though.  So there is that.

Imagine being on a show with Piers Morgan and there being two bigger whoppers than him

Canny funny how he started licking Bianca's arse saying how well she'd done to work herself up the ladder to becoming a respected pundit. But Gabriel Agbonlahor can get a primetime job in front of everone else just cos he played averagely in the Prem

 

Was desperate for him to answer the question about his daughter and if she ever wanted to commentate on men's football should she be allowed

His argument was all over the place he doesn’t once really give an answer why it’s ok for men that hasn’t played the game yet it’s not ok for woman who have played and that’s coz essentially he’s saying men can read and understand the game better than women wether they’ve played or not. He also massively back tracked from his original tweet.

 

and that Pearl lassie Jesus Chris she’s setting women back about 50 years with her ramblings. She probably doesn’t even believe half the stuff she says but you know give her a platform being controversial

Grifting is a legitimate career now.

Joe Cole can barely talk English and has landed a job doing punditry because he was decent at football. Sort that shit out before you determine someone's shit for having a vagina.

Only watched half of it so far, but Morgan appeared to go easy on him. He allowed him to dodge the question about male commentators such as Motson or Tyler who had no professional experience yet made very successful careers out of commentating.

 

Barton went off on a tangent and Piers Morgan obviously secretly agrees with him as he didn't pull him up on it like he does with others.

I don't understand this idea of "OK, women can be commentators/referees/managers as long as they're there on merit and are really good at what they do" 

 

There are fucking awful male pundits, Commentators, refs and managers, we complain about them every week.

I know the fact he’s a right ol COCK-ER-KNEE might annoy some people. But he seems like one of the better pundits, to me? 
 

I don’t really care about their accent or how good their vocabulary is. It’s just nice to have some insight and analysis.


Of the more recent ones to get into media and TV work. I think he is decent.

I like Joe Cole to be honest. Clearly enjoys the game as a viewer like Carragher and takes his job seriously rather than just chatting nonsense for cash

Indeed, and that's a bigger problem than sexual characteristics.

 

Tbh if Given wasn't a massive homer, he'd be pretty shite too, the ex-player stable are all a bit crap really.
