The Cwmbranistani doesn't do tongue-in-cheek.
She's fine, better than Tydlesdley & Tyler
Personally I'm not sure if she's commentating well or not because I find her voice to be like listening to white noise.
Red button commentary is good.
I originally thought it was Jacqui Oatley, who I have always thought was dire, but this Vicki Sparks seems to be better.
Some of the male (ex-player) commentators and pundits are far worse though - Henrik Larsson, Giggs (zzzz), Lawrenson.
On silent
Bloody awful
Dont care what anybody else thinks - I can't stand it
Jesus there's some old sad acts on here, it's 2018, try and keep up
Vicky Spark was the reporter who David Moyes said 'deserved a slap' for asking him a challenging question.
I'm shocked - SHOCKED - that a thread of this kind is on this forum.
Bloody hell, go out for a couple of hours and the PC brigade turns up. The only reason they have a female commentator is because of all this PC crap, not because she/they are good enough. If a person MAN or WOMAN deserves a position they should get it, not because it’s Politically Correct.
What a load of bollocks, just because you’re stuck in the past doesn’t mean everything that’s new and scares you is because of the PC brigade.
There are plenty of talented and knowledgeable women who are football journalists. There is no difference in the male and female genetics which makes one more able to commentate on football so why should it be limited to just men because you like it better?
Most of the complaints seem to be about the sound of a woman's voice rather than what she's saying, so it's probably not fair at say she's not got the job on merit.
Otherwise are we saying it's fine for women to commentate, as long as they have a voice as deep as Dave Seaman.
If you are fragile enough that listening to a woman talking about a game ruins your enjoyment of it then the problem is probably yours not hers.
It's just a change from what people are used to, I can guarantee that the same moans were had when the first female newsreaders etc started turning up, and now nobody bats an eyelid.
They should stick to womans football for commentating. As reasonable as womens footy is its totally different from mens, hence they cant give as good a commentary. Other than that they should stick to housework 😊
I've been on the phone to EE for the last hour or so ranting on about their garbage service, so didn't get to hear any of the commentary. There's one woman commentator whose voice I don't like and I think it might be Vicky Sparks, but I don't mind the other ones I've heard, there's quite a few male commentators whose voices I don't like - e.g. Tyldesley, Motson, Green, Drury.
That sums things up perfectly. Most of the comments were about her voice which I found grated on me so I listened to the alternative commentary. Afterwards I switched over to Ascot and there was a female commentator in the parade ring who was excellent (as are Kelly Cates, Gabby Yorath etc).
It was about the irritation factor and not her gender for me.
