    When are we going to get a teenaged pundit then? Bloody ageism.

    Repeating yourself often is.

    I'm presuming that's aimed at me but could you be more specific?

    I no longer watch match of the day. The reason being the time eaten up by studio guests talking for the sake of it.


    Cloughie was right all those years ago when he had a pop at John Motson and said as a licence fee payer the programme should have more action and less chat.

    If people do not like the pundits then either turn the volume off at half time and go make a brew or something.

    I think Alex Scott is a good pundit. She's a regular on MotD on merit.

    I think it's good that they are opening up the opportunity to new pundits. I have no problem if they are male, female, old or young, from the elite part of the game, or from the Unibond league, as long as they offer useful commentary. I'd also prefer NOT to have endless analysis, and more behind the scenes stuff.

    We have had to suffer decades of Mark Lawrensen, Garth Crooks, Glenn Hoddle etc, in post just because they are ex pros. Don't even get me started on Quest and Clinton Morrison who actually struggles to string two coherent words together.

    As others have stated, Alex Scott holds her own comfortably and gives a knowledgeable insight. Not seen enough to form an opinion on others yet, but credit to the BBC for opening up new opportunities.

    I agree. Not just football. The number of times I turn the sound off during programmes. I wish there was just a crowd option.

    I mute horse racing because the commentary has started to get opinionated. All I want to know is where my horse is not how well it's going.

    Invariably the horse that is going well on the outside runs out of steam and goes backwards.

    The commentators curse definitely kicks in too. Just watching Australia v Bangladesh and the co commentators were commenting how well Aaron Finch was batting. He got out next ball.
