    Other than Dion Dublin, have they had a single male pundit?

    They do if they are going to endlessly shoe-horn a female pundit onto the coverage of the mens game, equality and all that.

    Maybe no male pundits want to do it as they don't actually know anything about womens football?

    Watching Italy u21s at the moment. All Male including the commentators who are so much better to listen to as neutrals. Hiw come they can be unbiased when its English commentary on the England cricket matches but when it comes to football they cant? Just find it very irritating.

    I do not understand the need for a pundit of the opposite sex to be on every game. For me, I want to see men offering analysis on the men's game and women offering analysis on the women's game. They've both played their respective sports so have them giving their views. As good as Alex Scott and Dion Dublin are when analysing the games featuring the opposite sex, why not just have female pundits for the female game and male pundits for the male game. Surely that provides so much more insight and less apparent box ticking.

    I genuinely don’t care as long as they are knowledgable. Give me Alex Scott over Shearer every time. Men’s or women’s game.

    They're not different or respective sport. They're the same sport. Why would a man or woman be any less qualified to comment on the game of football than anyone else? Surely an insightful pundit is the most important thing?

    So why don't we have former Unibond players as pundits on MOTD?

    What a comical, farcical and heartbreaking end for the Scotland match. VAR again, talk about drama.

    Ignoring the loaded inference would you have an issue if there were?
