Is it 12:15 or 12:45??

08:15 for me.

Legend's for the kickoff, then I've somehow got to stay awake for the NYC Paddy's day parade.

My life is sooo hard!

Can honestly say I don’t even notice whether it’s a woman or man commentating, maybe playing FIFA has normalised it? Really don’t get the meltdowns. There’s good and bad commentators, all the local radio ones on iFollow are men and the vast majority are fucking awful and certainly worse than the average national broadcaster female presenter.

The sky guy eulogies!

Have seen it’s 12:15 I was checking. my lads reffing in the morning and I wanted to make sure we were back

 

[dadgad]

The best commentators say v little and with a clear voice. The current crop are infected with hysteria - wish we could just have an ambient sound option.

 

[wingy]

There will be an option surely, choice,sky's all for that, monetise it!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Didn’t we put 10 past them in a friendly years back?

No idea

 

[robbiethemole]

Watch tv, listen to Clive and Oggy on CWR?? win, win hahahha

Reid on striker alert

Peter Reid has cut short his part in Coventry City's pre-season tour due to "family commitments" and to do a bit of business.

Try not to shudder

How can you not notice their OTT excitement when a player just crosses into the area for example? They're bloody awful

You are a sexist. I dislike and disagree with all your views.

What a fucking shitshow that was, along with Adrian Heath, the biggest load of wank as a management team ever.

Didn't know we went in for Babb again though

Saying women are bad commentators isn't sexist?

 

[baldy]

Saying women are bad commentators isn't sexist?

Are you actually stupid? I said there are bad male ones too - stop twisting things to try & impress

 

[curly_tom]

Are you serious? Wow

Of course it's fine to say that an individual commentator is awful regardless of their gender, but that isn't what you are saying. You're acting all shocked at being called out.

 

[baldy]

Saying women are bad commentators isn't sexist?

There's people at work who are bad at their jobs who are women & other women say they're useless too - being sexist doesn't cross anybodys mind when saying it - what an odd comment

"they're bloody awful" Have I misunderstood?

Who do you think I'm trying to impress? Am I virtue-signalling?

Stop being thick ffs - I was referring to another post - they are bloody awful - like other male commentators too which I've already said - weird take

 

[fernandopartridge]

Morrison is one of the better pundits - he's much better informed than many and does his research.

Agree with the general point though, the women are no better but in part that's because they tend to mimic the shit male pundits, e.g. all saying "For me" all the bastard time.

Ok sure. I'm the thick one here. You know what you said and what you meant. I will leave it here

Haha - such an OTT misunderstood reaction - unbelievable

Re-read your comments. Maybe it is OTT. I don't know, it's how I responded

 

[shmmeee]

It’s a really interesting area of discussion isn’t it

It’s not offensive to say you don’t appreciate the work that people are delivering

It’s a bit like the Diane Abbott discussion. She is useless and annoying, but if you only ever mention her and not all the other useless and annoying MPs it’s probably something deeper.

 

[JAM See]

It will be the least interesting of the 4 for TV, so a female frenzy on commentary and punditry

I'm in no way insinuating that correlation equals causation.

Just saying.

Genuinely bemused as to why this post has 2 laughing emojis!

wingy and Pete tho, they’ll laugh at anything. Bet Pete even laughs at this post.

Bobby will snap him at some point down their left. He'll be rolling around like Neymar. Nailed on yellow card.

It's 4/1 - like printing money that.

In fact I've just stuck £20 on it.

That’s one thing worrying me edgy. One badly mistimed tackle at high speed, and their player rolling round like he’s been shot.
Can see straight red instead of yellow, and game kin over.

Clive and Oggy being the honourable exceptions.

Bobby's got it in him - needs to be extra careful with VAR watching.

Mad innit?
All those retirees needing care and voting against cheap care.
Hopefully they've taken back control.
