Yorkie Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Aye, just heard it for the first time on Match of the Day 2. Christ - she was forcing that. It just didn't sound right, tbh. I thought it wouldn't make any difference whether it was a male or female voice, regardless of the quality of the commentating, but it just did. No ta.

Guest Gemmill Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I fell asleep watching MOTD2 and was awoken by the bitch. Not nice at all. I bet she was pretty self conscious about it though, which probably contributed to the "sounded like she was acting" theme in this thread. Maybe she'll improve once she's settled in a bit.

Guest nufc_geordie Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 To be fair she is quite fit for a relatively older woman. http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/presenters/media/jacqui_oatley.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I don't really understand why this is even under debate. I couldn't give a flying fuck. She does her job well, its just all the old fashioned morons who'd think she useless, they need to get a life. .....oh and by looking at that photo, erm.......I'd give her one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 It's not the fact that she's a woman, it's just the fact that she's a shit commentator. EDIT: Well, maybe she isn't actually a shit commentator - but like TMonkey says below me, she just hasn't got the voice to sound right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Making me cringe. She is awful. A Sue Barker type voice would be acceptable, this isnt for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 You need to have a strong voice to be a commentator, the likes of Tyler, Darke, Motson and Davies all have / had really powerful voices. This women has the voice of a 13 year old boy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 What got me was the way she went "With a backheel"....it sounded exactly like the piss-taking womens commentary you hear on things like Soccer AM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Having a woman as a football commentator is like asking a paedaphile to look after a bairn. Just plain fucking stupid. No wonder everyones always on the piss on a Saturday night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 in Italy, there are quite a few women commentators and sports presenters and they're doing ok, because women are generally more interested in footie there and don't just talk bollocks and also italian language is more melodic compared to english, so it doesn't sound that strange when a lady is raising her voice after a tackle or something..

womblemaster Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 in spain they know how to find a good looking girl. Well i think this girl was the presenter, not commentator. http://www.fulllatin.com/gallery/images/natalia_estrada/pics/ne18.jpg Shes done a few tv roles i think. Bit better looking than motty! However its rumoured that she is in fact a transexual. ...hard to tell tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hodgson09 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Women can commentate the women, let men commentate the men. The only place for women in men's sport is to get more beer and snacks if at home, to fan me when it gets a little warm, half time sex for stress relief, do a nice little dance if the match is a little drab, at no point is she allowed to talk never ever ever. Because it just isn't right now is it? It's like watching a movie they always ask questions when you just want to watch. I'm only a sexist when it comes to male sports, that is a time when we should be allowed to objectify women and treat them like slaves, because lets face besides that 90 minutes we are under their complete control. Stay away from our game women, you take everything else not our game please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that was doing my head in! "Just wide from the China captain" "So close from the China captain" I used to slate Motson for overkill on stats about players.
