[QUOTE=Jones28;6516479]No it’s not. We are being asked to see them as an integral part of football. Men’s football. To do that then they also have to be treated no differently to anyone else.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
There’s no shortage of men that we give stick to over how they look and that’s currently in addition to your Davie Dodds and Stevie Fulton’s. In the last few weeks we’ve certainly had the likes of Pressley, Morelos, Stuart Kettlewell getting mentions.
It is well meaning but it is nonsense.

In terms of football I’d say that the men in men’s football are far more likely to be at the end of comments about their appearance than women.
In discussing equality this cause is a little misplaced I think.

Not even the slightest hint of “well maybe because this person is in a tiny minority in a male dominated area, and maybe because she comes from a group that sees every day sexism in almost all the environments she is likely to encounter regularly I should moderate my behaviour when I talk about her”?
Instead you can make comments on her appearance, despite the fact that her ineptitude as a pundit shines through so glowingly that I don’t think anything more needs said about her.
Someone on here recently made a comment about Brian Rices gambling addiction and was rightly slaughtered, and I feel this is similarly important - the only thing is that Shelley Kerr can’t change her looks, BR can do something about gambling addiction.

Gabs Logan is a class apart no matter what sport she covers but she is a presenter, not an analyst.
Eilidh Barbour is another top notch sports presenter.

Why does a thread about female pundits always end up like this, can't it be discussed how good/bad they are without discussing her looks, I've only glimpsed at the Willie Miller thread but are there multiple posts about how he looks, I've known Shelley for a very long time as I'm friends with her sister and it's disgusting what some folk write about her, time for me to bow out

Shelley Kerr is an awful pundit.
Michael Stewart is the best pundit in Scotland by a good distant IMO.

Noticed most female pundits like to talk shirt numbers when describing play. More of a rugby thing that.

I see some Jambos over on oneleagueback think she'll be their next manager after Neilson if Budge has her way. Surely even Hearts couldn't balls it up that much...

Both are difficult. The difference is that Rice doesn't get slagged off on messageboards for his situation, he gets roundly supported. Kerr on the other hand, well put it this way: there are too many people questioning why she shouldn't give her a going over because of the way she looks.

Davie Provan is awful. It’s been said before but the combination of Steven Thompson and Mikey Stewart works well. How Chic Young gets near a microphone is beyond me. Cliche ridden dinosaur. I was listening to Radio5 live in the car yesterday and I’d forgotten what a good pundit Pat Nevin is. Shame he doesn’t appear on TV anymore.

Sportscence was awful with Kelly and Caldwell. Both were boring to listen to and droned on. Hopefully neither will be back on our screens anytime soon.
