Trumpet Posted 14 August 2022 Share Posted 14 August 2022 Joe Cole played football at the highest level and can’t string a sentence together. I’d have my missus on any panel ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can give the refs all the tech they want but when standards of officiating are so low anyway it's not gonna have the desired effect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Taylor is very, very poor. Lost control of the game. It’s his fault we saw ugly scenes. You don’t need VAR if you are actually focusing on the game. Of course, even though Mike Dean has retired he still has to be the centre of attention. Watching football for over 60 years I can’t think of a worse referee. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb Posted 14 August 2022 Share Posted 14 August 2022 I honestly think VAR has just allowed for greater injustice and more subjective sway. Subconscious or not, the standard of decision making is so far from where it should be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, is there any circumstance in which you wouldn’t just view the presence of a woman on a sports panel as tokenism and therefore be against it? Surely, with sky/bt/bbc employing female sports pundits, it shows that we have some talent being given a chance that historically they have not been given out of hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad you see it that why. I don't think female pundits are forced into slots at all. Look around a stadium next time you go there are plenty of women there watching of all ages, and many of us enjoy chatting about football. There are even a few of us on this forum! Shock! I'm astounded that people still have this attitude. I'm not sure you actually realise how sexist you are being! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majority of football pundits are so thick and have such little knowledge about football. I also think that you have to factor in a lot of the current female pundits played football when it wasn't fully professional so the tactical insight is going to be pretty limited. I always say this when talking about punditry in general but compare it to cricket, and in this case the female commentators when you have Alison Mitchell, Ebony Rainford-Brent and Isa Guha, who are are very articulate, knowledge and compelling to listen to, and it's absolute night and day. Gender doesn't have to factor in (though of course it does for some) but championing female football pundits is pretty pointless when we should be championing decent football pundits, period. Look at the clowns on Soccer Saturday; that's your benchmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends if the woman is sue Smith. Because she gives women pundits a bad name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
