    I get your point and what you have in common is you’re both out of touch.

    Jesus Christ is everyone who posts on this board Alf Garnett in disguise? It’s honestly like someone is writing all these posts as a parody.

    The world is not like that at all, I’m not sure what bubble you lot live in or what media you consume but the world is not overly PC, in fact it’s still very much a straight white male dominated world.

    I’ve worked in 4 different capital cities and can’t say I’ve ever noticed anything overly PC or the work place being over run by Black, gay women. Maybe it’s just the valleys that are this progressive.

    The fact that not liking the sound of something is subjective, it's quite obvious that you do not get my point.

    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.
    Ah that's ok then, as long as we balance the scales a bit is that what you're saying? because that is not equality either.

    You’re missing the point though, no ones saying there’s anything wrong with not liking one commentator but the thread has been full of comments about all women being bad and should stick to women’s football etc.

    It’s funny because there’s been a link that talked about the reaction to women news readers being the same in the 60s and people don’t seem to mind them any more.

    This thread is embarrassing

    I'm hoping that a lot of the responses are wind ups

    I listened to the game this afternoon on 5Live with one of the better commentators, John Murray so didn’t hear the tv commentary. Just heard it on MOTD and I thought she was fine. I’d listen to her over Jonathan Pearce all day long.

    Re: Woman Commentator

    Just watched the highlights.
    I could barely listen to it so had to turn it over.
    I can't stand listening to someone who is out of touch with the game and talks a load of shite.


    We are talking about Martin Keown, right?

    Since you struggle to count past 4 I’m not surprised you think 2 sentances is a mini essay.

    Re: Woman Commentator

    The title of the thread is "Woman Commentator"

    If the OP wanted to complain about the voice of one of the male commentators would they have titled the thread "Man Commentator"

    If the OP wanted to complain about the voice of one of the male commentators would they have titled the thread "Man Commentator"?

    The fact that the commentator's gender is mentioned in the title suggests that it may be a gender issue, rather than anything else. Whilst the OP's intention may not be sexist, it is certainly an unconscious bias.

    Perhaps the title of the thread may have been better as "Sh1t Commentator".

    Pitch, tone, anything involving use of frenetic voices. I'm not going to debate or discuss. I employ over 250 women (60%) of my workforce because they are good at their (highly technical) jobs.

    Shouldn't that be "try to spell pedantic correctly"?
