I’m not bothered about female pundits but female commentators in football just don’t do it for me. It’s not due to gender, it’s the pitch of voice. Pat Nevin also has the same effect. I have to turn off the sound.

I also agree about great female commentary / pundits in other sports. Suzi Perry is great in MotoGP and respected by all in the sport.
Thank god you said it.

You can have differing views without being a dick about it like Barton is

I’m the same as you Des, some of the female comentators that scream at the top of their voice can be grating but they’re not all dreadful.

As for quotas I’m not a fan but if it’s temporary until they manage to build the women’s game well that’s fine too

It might be the wrong way of thinking but I prefer watching people that think like me, behave like me and sound like me etc and that’s why I much prefer the arseyness of Keane over the women who analyse the game in infinite detail that are far more insightful than me.
