Woman commentator on MOTD

Don't know why it bothers people to be honest. Just somebody describing the events.
Was there this uproar when the first female newsreaders appeared?

They were largely very good. So no.

Yet, your thread title seems all encompassing about females in those roles...

My thread title was "Vicki Sparks". Its been merged.

Well probably call your thread 'this female commentator' instead of referring to them all, you spanner.

Oh dear. It turns out that you're the "spanner"
My thread title was "Vicki Sparks". Its been merged

Whoever merged this has done a shit job. The thread title is not mine. I was talking about one commentator, not all of them.
Hence, it was called "Vicki Sparks".

im not sure i have heard a female commentator who i want to listen to, they are all shite, saying that most of the males are wank also.
 
I've always thought we could do with more commentary on the fashion side of things.
You know, whether colours really blend and whether stripey socks are really this year's big thing.
:cool::)

Alex Scott is a good pundit.
Gabby Yorath is excellent at presenting.

Match commentary is another thing though. But there's loads of awful. Male ones. Peter Drury is shocking, using big words that just sounds stupid in commentary. He started the must-win shit that no one ever used to say.
 
Alex scott must be getting a fortune flitting between her token female duties on bbc and sky. She isnt too bad actually but the while female invasion of sports tv is annoying as fk to be honest.

Should be nowhere near commentating on mens football, same as the lasses who commentate on the cricket and Rugby, they don't have a clue what they're talking about as the womens game is nothing like the mens game.
 
The pundits make me cringe...
especially when I see Rio Ferdinand and the other male pundits on the shows trying to look interested when really they’re thinking
WTF!!!

What a load of absolute shit. I have watched football for almost 30 years and would guarantee I know as much about it as the majority of men. Alex Scott for one is excellent as a pundit and would rather listen to her any day than the likes of Jamie Carragher or Jermaine Jenas.
Saying that I despise female commentators just because of how they sound, it's ear splitting.

You need to make your mind up bonny lad.

I was merely making the point some women (me for one) know as much about football as men (you stated women 'don't have a clue what they're talking about).

I don't mind women pundits but I absolutely hate them as commentators.

Agree with that. My issue is purely with female commentators. In fact, it's with female main commentators. Don't mind them as the second commentator, think they can do a perfectly good job presenting football and can be perfectly good pundits (Alex Scott, for one, actually seems to research her subject and I'm sure that, as a result, she knows a hell of a lot more about the matches she covers than most of the rent-a-cliche blokes sat next to her). There's good and bad ones of course, but that's exactly the same with males. Female main commentators though I just can't stand. As you say, they just don't sound right at all. When there's a chance and they raise their voice it sounds bloody awful. Maybe there will eventually be a good one but I don't think their voices lend them to it. When this thread comes up I always go back to thinking about the famous "Agueerrroooo" commentary and I can only begin to imagine what that would have sounded like if Vicki Sparks had tried to deliver it

1. Commentators

Of the current crop, I can't think of one whose commentary I positively enjoy, whose commentary enhances my viewing. Some are worse than others. Most seem to think they're wits or comedians, when they're not. Some just have annoying voices.

2. Pundits

Most are nuggets. Some at least do their research, but are mediocre. In comparison to the nuggets, they appear better than they are. For me, the only one who seems to offer occasional moments of genuine insight, intelligently articulated, is Liam Rosenior. He shows promise.
 
Just watching MOTD2 Swansea vs Brentford highlights and have just been able to put a name to the voice that I know to be Vicki Sparks.

Is this the same lass you tried to scream "Yakubu!" that time and her voice sounded like it was breaking?

No issues with women pundits or commentators but this lass is a complete parody. Absolutely horrendous.
