Once you hear her say "brilliant" it's all you bloomin hear! Every 2nd word is "brilliant"

A lot of ex players, male and female, are terrible as pundits. There needs to be a balance between knowing the game and being able to communicate reasonably well.
FWIW, I agree about Gabby Logan and thought she was a decent presenter.

Michael Stewart is, IMO, mostly a fine analyst after the fact. However I'm glad to read some criticism on here as I think he's a poor co commentator, always trying to make smart a*se comments to his fellow commentator. He's also much less insightful when having to do it live though he's still way ahead of most when it comes to understanding what's happening.

Maybe they need to sack off the ex footballers and use journalists (male or female) or something. Articulate ones that can string a sentence together.Last edited by Danderhall Hibs; 04-04-2021 at 02:48 PM.

If the best we’ve got is Kerr, Miller, Dodds or Preston then I’d rather we didn’t bother. Just commentate and end the programme.

Chris Iwelumo is a pretty decent pundit IMO.

Funny, I was thinking same today. Not only is her punditry poor but she looks, how can I put it,.... Haggered and worn out.
Classic BBC for you though.

The reality is men’s football and women’s football are different.
Nothing wrong with that at all but if women are now pretty much mandatory as pundits in the men’s game then I’m afraid they aren’t going to be providing much professional insight, which is what pundits are largely there to do. In comparison to the top level of the men’s game you’d get much the same insight from anyone who’s played at juvenile level in the men’s game which I think is probably actually a bit higher a level than any of the female ex players have played.
If they are there to give the general chat that a journalist would then fair enough but most of the time that’s not really the case.

Since then I’ve seen many comments about how footballers or pundits look. Yes, it does happen and no one cares until it is a woman.
The thread you mention has a comment about Pressley’s face. Did you call that one out?Last edited by Andy74; 04-04-2021 at 06:07 PM.

I've never got past the slavering of Pressley to consciously think about his pus. Just remember him as more of a wrestler than a footballer. Thankfully Berra from the same WWF school is getting closer to retirement

Billy Dodds isn't half as bad as folk make out. At least he knows the players and can give some informed comment about shape, formation etc.
Iwelumo is pretty good as a pundit. Can't abide Shelley Kerr I'm afraid.
Alex Rae worst co-commentator by a mile.

Kerr surely has done the same badges as the men and therefore should be able to provide some insight & knowledge on tactics etc...
I dont like what appears to be a quota to fill. It shouldn't matter if its 3 females or whatever so long as they are good and knowledgeable. It is relatively new in what has always been a Male dominated, if not exclusive role until now.

i don’t keep a score card but it really is clear that in all sorts of walks of life women are far more likely to be criticised for their appearance than men.

I did not see the post you mention actually.
I might be in a minority here but commenting on a woman’s appearance when she’s a tiny minority in an otherwise male dominated sport, including punditry, isn’t that sexist?
I’m genuinely asking the question and want some one to explain why it isn’t if you disagree.

BBC Scotland’s approach of having one male and one female is getting a bit silly. They could surely mix it up from time to time whilst still going from a diverse pool.
Although Kerr is rubbish, she is generally no worse than the average pundit on the BBC.
The only one I’ve seen recently who offered any genuine insight on tactics and offered something different was Shaun Maloney. I seem to remember even he was slated on here though as he “sounded posh”.
