Female pundits

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Really impressed by Alex Scott, the girl on Sky Sports cricket is really good too.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Lol when reading the tread title I thought it was going to be a critique of Aluko as part of the ITV World Cup coverage team

For what it’s worth, she’s bloody awful

I don’t care if they are men or women as long as they give an insight. Alex Scott is really enthusiastic but just a cliche machine when it comes to analysis... just like a lot of the other ex players.

Aye.

I can't get used to them - too enthusiastic in a way that comes across a bit 'fanboyish' and when they move beyond the cliches there's just something about the way they word their analysis that doesn't seem quite right.

Complaints equally applicable to a lot of male pundits, of course.

By the responses on this thread just as well I never mentioned female pundits either. Anyone sang Mack the knife yet?

Alex Scott is superb but Aluko on itv is terrible. She was with Giggs a few days ago couldn't decide who was worse.

I switch it off when a woman tries to give her opinion on football.

Giggs has the charisma of a wet rag

Aluko, Evra and Giggs are all terrible pundits. Gary Neville and Ferdinand are pretty decent and thought Larsson came across fairly well.

[One Day Soon]

Radio 5 Live has a female football pundit fairly frequently and she's excellent. I think the one who is a former full back they have on either the BBC or ITV for this World Cup is as at least as good if not better than most of the men too.

pat nevin on audio.
**** listening to that neville tool.

The female pundits have offered better insight than their male colleagues, imho. It's good to hear folk who don't just roll out the same old punditry clichés.

Agreed, it's freshened up the format a bit and if we are honest some of the existing pundits are pretty rubbish. Can't decide whether some folk on this thread are fishing or not.

Some of the male pundits are horrendous and that includes the commentators..Butcher..McCoist ?!! Would rather listen we no sound.

The females seem to do some research while the males seem to try blag it just because they have played the game.

[Captain Trips]

Not a thing for me if male or female I rate them on what they say.

[blackpoolhibs]

I never listened to the ex wife, im not about to start now.

[Pretty Boy]

There's some excellent female pundits in football and other sports and some poor ones too. Same as with men really.

Ryan Giggs has been the worst of the lot so far. He must be packing something special as his personality isn't charmimg anyone into bed.

I will have to take your word for it. As soon as they start speaking I switch off both metaphorically and in most instances literally.

Fixed.

Couldn’t care less what gender the pundits/commentators/freeloaders/hangers-on are. Is long overdue the old boys pundit club was shaken up. I like Jaquie Oatley and Jermaine Jenas presently.
Particularly cant stand Pearce, Tyldesley and of course Lawro the lugubrious.

Tyldesley is excruciating.

I thought Aluko was okay.

Said it before, but some of the guys who were on programmes like the European Football Show on BT, and things like Talksport before that, would be great - Honnigstein, Balague, Marcotti, Hunter etc. I assume they are tied up to other broadcasters.

Sid Lowe was on one of the channels talking about Spain's turmoils and that was good.

As you say, gender doesn't matter a jot, it's the quality and insight of the co-commentary or analysis that matters to me

Dalglish's daughter, Kelly Cates, is different class on 5 Live. I'd listen to her every day before most of the ex-players who have played in World Cups, European Finals etc. Including her dad 😁
