'Pundits'

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

Hasn't anyone considered the possibility she got us mixed up with the shower of shit from S6?

 

[Rob86]

She did even need to get into the stats, a quick view of the Championship table before going on air at GF & GA. we don’t concede that many and are the 3rd highest scorers, Madine is an addition to that.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Just popped the same in the shoutbox.

The only woman worth a wank (intended) is Alex Scott, the rest really don't have a clue what they're on about.

Irony ?

 

[Akinbiyi]

Irony ?

You go steady with those more posts than likes mate, no ones gives a fuck what you’ve got to say x

Worse by a country mile is........ Garth Crooks

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Women know your limits.

It really pisses me off that anybody could come on TV as a supposed pundit, get well paid and yet know F all about most of the clubs they’re discussing. She’s been on before and been equally clueless about us but there’s plenty of male ‘experts’ just as shite. We’re just long ball merchants, defensive, direct football battlers with little skill but lots of PASHUN according to some usually the twats who live and played south of Watford gap.

I’d just sack the goons for being inadequately prepared to do their job. If I did the same in my working life I wouldn’t have lasted 2 minutes and I tell you what, if I’d had the chance at that age to break into television after in many cases a so-so playing career, I’d make sure that I was a walking fecking encyclopaedia on the subject matter. Some are more bothered about their slick suits and high heels and that’s just the men.

There are some good-uns though. I think Liam Rosenior is different gravy...

Ah, I understand now - it's a popularity contest ?
& if I understand correctly, describing yourself as a Wanker garners los of 'likes'
Or have I missed something?

That's the level of punditry the Championship gets I'm afraid.

Colin Murray and Ian Holloway only people worth listening to when it comes to the Championship on TV.

And on 'Ceefax' (or whatever it's called nowadays) and Sky's reviews of the previous night's games the order of importance is:

European if featuring English teams
Premier League
Scottish 'Premier League'
Championship

Sorry, but Rangers or Celtic knocking over the latest no-hopers is not of more interest than The Championship.

Worse by a country mile is........ Garth Crooks

you mean the 'throwing the head back', 'eye-rolling as about to deliver The Semon on the Mount'? I agree.

Unfortunately the most knowledgeable of the sky sports ladies is sat behind a desk. Deputy football editor and big blade, kate Burlaga. Now that lass knows football inside out and would probably give our statistician John Garrett a run for his money for bladey knowledge. Fucks me off that you have to pay for sky and end up with anybody with a mouth pretending to be a pundit.

 

[Topplayersleave]

Male or Female, makes no difference to me, it is the part of TV football that is totally unwatchable

If I'm watching a match I put the correct channel on bang on the time it kicks off
As soon as the refs whistle blows for half time I switch over to see how the golf or the rugby or the cricket is going on, anything apart from the expert opinions.

I get embarrassed listening to it.
I can actually feel myself saying "Oh my God, what are you saying you fucking numpty"

It's like being at a wedding where the best man's speech is horrendous and you just want him to sit down and shut up

So the TV channel gets switched now so I don't have to feel embarrassed for them

 

[TTMeysh]

I watch Soccer Saturday to see the scores come in, do I care what a drunk (Merson), old big nose (Thompson) or the clowns when we cut away to the grounds in Sloth (Dowie) and the parody of himself that is (is he still on it or is he just on Goals on Sunday now?) Kamara, I couldn't give a shit what they say, I've no interest.

It's as though Sky have decided to reinforce everyone's negative regional stereotypes: whiny scouser, degenerate cockney moron and unintelligible Weegie. With Le Tissier as a special guest from Planet Normal.

Snap fella.

If every pundit put as much effort in as Jeff Stelling does for Soccer Saturday then they would be much better off. He studies newspapers and the internet for all the stats of the players, looks for patterns, milestones, styles of play, and manages to know a bit about every club in England and Scotland.

Now if you're asked for your opinion on a handful of clubs, then surely you can come up with more than "they're direct" or "they need a goal scorer".

It’s just been on Talksport (I work from home and it’s always on),
Famous ex Italian international Fulvio Collovatti (now a football pundit on Italian tv) has been suspended because he’s said on tv

‘When I hear a woman speak about tactics it turns my stomach”

“I can't do it. If she talks about the match and how it went, okay. But she can't talk about tactics because a woman doesn't understand like a man," he said in an outburst that caused embarrassment on the set.

The 61-year-old former AC Milan, Inter and Roma defender subsequently apologised on Twitter, saying he was sorry if his words “had hurt the feelings of women."

Imagine these words/ opinions coming from Gary Neville on Talksport ha ha

His wife, who is a tv presenter has supported him by tweeting
"Tactics explained by a woman don't convince me. When I presented football shows, I never had the nerve to explain the 4-4-2,".

 

[BushBlade]

You'll like this man. From 3 minutes:

He’s a hypocrite. He dragged down punditry standards by calling the polish keeper a clown. He was always shouting his mouth off on TV. The older I get the less I like Clough.

He’s entitled to his opinion, just as I’m entitled to the opinion that he’s a stupid old cunt.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Think it’s a cultural thing.
I know an English women who is married to an Italian man, she’s now in her 50’s and has been to Italy many times over the decades.
She tells me that Italy is about 30 years behind England and in some ways it’s better than the UK, in some ways worse than the UK.

She said (in her experience) the average older Italian is still very traditional. They believe the men go out to work and the women are treat like princes, but need to stay at home bringing up the kids and doing the cooking and cleaning. Football in Italy is very much a mans sport, it’s in their blood, decades of culture can’t be changed overnight.

To be honest, it did it for me when a female commentator on Sky T20 cricket launched herself into a brainfart about facing 90 mph bowling....

Bad enough with the sexist comments on this thread without you introducing homophobia

I actually think Le Tissier is one of the worst
he hasn't got a clue what's going on beyond the South coast and North and West London

 

[nopigfansintown]

The older Clough got the less I liked him. He showed signs of denility and was of course drink addled His judgement on football matters dwarfs anybody in my life time by a distance though. The greatest.

 

[pommpey]

The lack of knowledge is extraordinary, not only this idiot.

Also Paul Parker and Darren Eadie have both been on this season muttering about our direct, unattractive but effective style of play.

Morons.

They've got a point though, eh? It's all long-ball, hoof it down the middle and knock ons to the target man/scrappy six-yard tap ins, isn't it?

Wankers

[Northyorksblade]

Chris Wilder just mentioned on his latest interview re Billy's new contract, some pundits think we need a striker. So he has obviously heard her or heard about it.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Laura Woods is excellent. I listen to Danny Kelly’s Friday evening show when I’m in and she’s very good on that.

Danny Kelly is TalkSPORT’s only saving grace and one of the best broadcast journalist there is. He wouldn’t have a “plank” sat at the side of him.

 

[moDtheGod]

Michelle Owen is the best by a country mile.

+1

Legit fan, knows her stuff and I have a bit of a crush on her.

 

[penthouseblade]

You'll like this man. From 3 minutes:

"I'm not saying I was the best manager in the business, but I was in the top one."

Total legend, fondly remembered!

Liam Rosenior knows his stuff doesn’t he?
