    If we are going on merit Jonathan Pearce should be sacked a career of awful commentary behind him. Two other words Phil Neville!

    This is fair. Commentary styles appeal to different people, we wont all like the same thing.

    However, the people who make a blanket "no women commentators" and "its only going to get worse if they allow more of them to do it." are disgusting. There's just no place for comments like that in 2018.

    Women deserve the same opportunities as men.

    I don’t buy that the only way to explain having one female commentator is ‘BBC box ticking’. If they had a female presenter, commentator, minority, disabled person on every show, then maybe (I stress, maybe) but it’s not too much of a stretch to say she got the position on merit. The general consensus that I’ve seen online (if you avoid the right wing misogyny houses, like the daily mail) is that she did a very good job.

    Didn't say you did say that. Yes I know Phil Neville is not the play by play commentator. He still ruins a game for me far more than anyone else.
    It's subjective though I thought she was fine and did a good job as did others. You didn't like her and that is fine too.
    How you can say there is no way she got the gig on merit is frankly ridiculous. You have absolutely no idea what process was undertaken in the selection of commentators for these games. You are just making a assumption.

    You are of course entitled to your opinion (however deluded)

    Bit of a problem with women coming out there though.

    They're the same type of people that think marital rape should still be allowed.

    Lawro has always been a moaning miserable sod.

    I quite like that.

    Too much arselicking going on with some pundits.

    Yup, it’s like he “needs” to be in the news and talked about.

    I love women , but to say that she was any good is just not true . Everyone is entitled to an opinion ( however deluded ) mine is that in general women commentating on football aren’t comparable to men .

    I prefer Jacqui Oatley as a presenter. Although I think her commentary is good her voice goes way too high when the action gets exciting. I also prefer Gabbie Logan to Mark Pougatch as a presenter.
    I don't get why some people on here resort to branding people as some kind of 'ist' (racist, mysoginist, sexist, fascist etc) just because their opinion may offend their over sensitive views. People can have opinions based on personal preference and ability rather than race gender or politics.

    Indeed it is, what an absolutely pathetic thing to suggest just because some of us are expressing our own opinions (whether they be negative or not) on women commentating on mens footy. Shame on that person for bringing rape into this footy based debate. :mad:
