It's canny funny when all the wife beaters get hot and bothered that a woman can now be on a football show. I think she's canny, certainly better than a lot of male footballers who've tried their hand and fail miserably.
Is it possible that you can just think she's not very good at being a pundit irrespective of her gender? I think Clinton Morrison is the worst pundit around which, I assume, makes me a racist.

She'll probably be alright as a presenter tbh, she was on the women's football last night in the host role and was far better at that than when she's on as a pundit.
 
Class news. I'm really pleased for her.

What with this, the female top flight ref from Washington and a lady winning the Grand National, it's turning out to be a topper year for lasses 😎
 
Dan Walker had never played eleite professional football, but is a damn good presenter. Alex Scott has played elite professional football and is not a damn good presenter.

It remains to be seen whether or not the role of anchor is suited to a presenter who likes football or a footballer who likes presenting.
One of the things I like about her is that she doesn't like the sound of her own voice too much. I reckon if you put some ex footballers in the presenting role their guests would never get a word in edge ways. She's got enough knowledge to be able to input into discussions from time to time but also seems able to sit back and let others discuss. Think I've normally seen her as a pundit, so no idea how good she is at presenting, but it's a relatively low key role tbh (don't think it's half as well watched as it used to be) so it should be a place she can learn and improve at it. Like I say she comes across as canny and easy to chat to so in that sense she's probably a decent fit for the role, just needs the experience that she'll only get from gigs like this

Of course you can think what you like, but it doesn't stop the fact that most will have a problem with her being a woman, rather than her being a bad pundit. Theres also plenty of Alf Garnett's still about who don't like to see a black bloke on the TV too....its just the way it is.
 
Didn’t realise football focus is still on. Good on her, I’m sure this news will bring joy to millions. Dreams can come true, Aim for the stars and all that shit.
 
Don’t think I’ve watched Focus since Bob Wilson’s days. I tune out from most football TV/radio shows nowadays. Footballers are dull as dishwater to listen to and the presenter bantz is shite.

Christ I’m on downer today, bloody SAFC 😠
 
I think she’s ok..I mean she’s no worse than any of the male pundits sitting there stating the obvious..I never felt she had the insight of Shearer or Ian Wright..all about opinions..tell you who’s very good on Sky sports..he’s only done co commentating up to now but when I’ve heard him he’s been superb..Efan Ekoku.
 
I know a lot will think she is being criticised for being female, but I think she is a god awful pundit and struggle to listen to anything she says. It was obvious that she'd get this job but anyone who usually cites the "passion" of players when analysing a game, isn't a particularly insightful pundit. She might actually be better suited to presenting as she'll just be anchoring rather than being expected to provide detail which she is completely shit at.

Still fit as though.
 
In truth it doesn't matter who it is, you inevitably get the same armchair experts who know the game inside out 100 times better than the chosen host.

At least this way it gives the misognistic leftist-hating anti-licence paying racists a run out for their money.
