Don't you enjoy the "LADIES" then :hehe:

Fancy the sound of a female voice being so strange to you, that on hearing it you cannot enjoy a football match you usually would if you heard 2 male voices talking about it.
Then fancy sitting there in silence and moaning about it on a message board when all you had to do to hear 2 male voices was push a red button on a remote.
We have some English female footballer as a pundit over here. Not keen.
Her and Ian Wright mouthing off about how great this England team is
The ones I've heard have been a bit too cbeebies for me, maybe I will give a few more a chance and get "used to them" :hehe: don't expect me to do the same with Mrs Browns boys though, that's a step too far :thumbup:
Shut up Tone :hehe:
Keep Alan Green off the telly otherwise everyone will reach for the mute button. His accent is so harsh I always half expect him to bellow Ian Paisley style: we will march down the Garvaghy Road!
None of us modern thinking chaps would complain if female footy commentators did so while topless because males would be able to as they can parade around the streets bare-chested (aka topless) without being nabbed for a public order offence whereas women would be up before the beaks! How can that be equality?! Tits out for all, I say!
That was a joke really but I'm sure there are many men who have to work in predominantly female environments, as a woman who has been involved in the predominantly male environment of djing for over ten years though I can tell you now I would not want anyone giving me a chance just because I'm a woman, if you are good at something your sex will not come in to it. :thumbup:
You’re completely missing the point though no one is getting a chance just because they’re a women. These women are better educated and more knowledgeable than most male couterparts and are only just now having the opportunity to do the same job.
Would you be happy if you weren’t being booked just because you were a woman?
Rjk said I'm just not used to them so therefore I should give them a chance, that's what I meant.
"Would you be happy if you weren’t being booked just because you were a woman?"
That's the thing, it's been the other way around for me, my brother was a dj years before me, he's been doing it all his life and been dedicated to it, I learned to dj quite quickly in comparison, I only did it to prove him wrong when he said I wouldn't be able to learn, I got as good as him and I ended up getting offers of bookings over him for the simple fact that I'm a female so more of a novelty, I don't think that's fair either, do you?
Why should the fact that you are better educated and more knowledgeable on a subject give you the right to do commentary?
You should be let nowhere near a microphone if you have a rubbish voice.
I just want the best people for the job. If that's a woman or a transgender disabled black person then brilliant.
But the shoehorning of people into roles purely because they represent a minority can't be beneficial over time.
No it’s not fair but it’s not like men are completely blocked from doing it. Women have been for plenty of jobs.
They couldn’t be a news presenter because people didn’t like how they sounded at the time now that sounds ridiculous, we’ll say the same about female commentators too one day.
I couldn’t give a toss about it being a women because I want half the men to feck off because they’re shit what I don’t like is them forcing the issue just to be PC compliant
The pitch is important and that woman's voice was just plain annoying.
A decent voice is crucial in making the visual experience enjoyable, even in the event of a poor game.
It seems old JT might concur.... :biggrin:

Ah convicted racist, adulterer, briber of abortions, sacked from being captain of his country and all round wanker John Terry agrees with you, that’s my point ruined
Sat in a bar in Berlin watching the Portugal game and a lovely German woman was doing the commentary. I can't speak German but she sounded like she was enjoying it. She was superb!
Welcome to the new politically correct world , not only are woman in control of footy , every TV cop drama has women top to bottom running it and fixing crime whilst the token man is cast as an outdated alpha male , big drinker, living alone and on the take , the rest of the cast are usually of ethnic origin and disabled.
As much as anything else, the fact that the main character was almost always a straight white middle aged bloke for most of the last 50 years just means that that has been done to death, if you want your tv show to be a bit original then you arent gong to make a remake of inspector morse.
Men still get the vast majority of the best roles, and the majority of dialogue in films, and the highest salaries from movies, I think we can tolerate the occasional black wheelchair lesbian detective given the 50 years that have preceeded.
