    What a great job she did as stand in for Simon Thomas on Saturday. Female presenters have taken some stick in recent months (in some cases rightly so), but I thought she was a natural.

    Was thinking this at the time, better than Simon Thomas for me, shame about the pundits, Sherwood & co.

    Agreed - she was really. The right amount of "banter" too. Although I don't think Simon Thomas was that bad. Whoever follows Stelling is towing anyway - like when Moyes followed Ferguson.

    She did great, seemed much more relaxed and the 'banter' seemed much more natural than Simon Thomas.

    She did good. Surprised Thomas was allowed to miss due to covid in his household.

    She's a woman who has no concept of the mans game. There are subtleties she can't grasp. She should stick to doing women's stuff like cooking and childminding. Make me a sandwich.
    Not my thoughts but there are some neanderthal people who think like that. If she's good she's good. If she's crap she's crap. Gender is irrelevant.

    I was impressed-it can't be easy with a continuous stream of information coming in your earpiece and trying to interact with the pundits. Jeff had been doing it for years

    She was great and better than Simon Thomas. Sign her up!

    I also like Sue Smith.
