JimmyJimmy Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Fulham Vs. Blackburn Rovers New commentator for MOTD and I think she's awful. I don't want to hear some whiney, high pitched womans voice when I'm watching the football, thank you very much. It's almost as bad as when you are at pittodrie and you get some bint screaming into your ear every five minutes. I'm all for equal opportunities but can we make sure it doesn't apply to football commentary? I' don't mind Gabby Logan and other bits of stuff getting involved but I don't want to hear their voices for the whole game - most men watch football just to get 90 minutes peace from whiney voiced women. I'd rather listen to that prick from RobotWars. Not impressed. Jacqui Oatley: Link to comment
JimmyJimmy Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 No fishing here, we're opening a Pandora's Box with this decision from the BBC. What's next? Female lineswomen, female refs - where will it all end? Link to comment
robbo Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 have to admit, i didnt like it either which annoyed me coz ffs, its only football commentary, but it just didnt seem right somehow. much in the same way womens football just isnt football. Link to comment
uni_don Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 21st century folks. It only seemed odd cos we're not used to it. Granted, she wasn't excellent, but afterall it was her first time on the programme - no doubt she'll get better as she gets used to it. If a commentator is good enough I have absoloutely no problem with them being on the telly. Link to comment
Dandyjam Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Didn't think she was too bad - something you're more likely to hear on that Fanzone commentry on Sky Sports though. Would much rather have a male commentator but as already said could be just because we are so not used to it. Link to comment
JimmyJimmy Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 I suppose I'll just have to get used to her annoying whiney voice then. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 They'll never put her on a big game. Link to comment
Dandyjam Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 They'll never put her on a big game. Agree, well not yet anyway! She'll only get to commentate on mid table games involving Villa, Blackburn etc. When she does get a live gig it'll prob be an FA Cup tie where a Non League side is at home to Norwich or something!

Red Loon Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Fulham Vs. Blackburn Rovers Not impressed. Jacqui Oatley: Me neither - stick to volleyball and hockey Link to comment

BobbyBiscuit Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Personally thought she was alright. She at least never tried to force HER OPINION on the viewer in the way arseholes like Tyldsley, Drury, Motson et al do. She just described the action, wish more of them would stick to doing that. But in saying all that, she's no Barry Davies... Link to comment
Guest glasgowdon Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 My game on Saturday. We had a woman referee. What the f*ck? I couldn't believe what was happening when I saw this woman coming to ref our game. I had a wipe my eyes. It was a scandal. I also got booked for moaning at her and telling her what I thought of her performance, and the fact I didn't think she deserved to be in such a sport. Thought it was a sending off offence myself, so the stupid bitch couldn't even get that right!!! Link to comment
Guest glasgowdon Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 One thing that annoys me as well: the fact that in my opinion I thought she did a pretty poor job but this makes me sexist. :| Link to comment
Guest TenementFunster Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I thought she wasn't very good. But that just puts her in the same category as well known, notorious c*nts, Drury, Tyldesley, Motson and Peter Martin. I agree her voice is a little whiney but not the worst by any means.

The Proclaimer Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Women got full voting rights in UK in 1928 WTF? Link to comment
NPRC Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I'm just annoyed she's on the BBC. Get her over to ITV and stop David Pleat's whiney opinonated voice from ruining the all the European games I watch. Link to comment
