Yes.

Yes.

For me it was 120 minutes of this.

But each to their own.

When you look at the great commentators of yesteryear they had great gravitas,the likes of Don Maskell,Ted Lowe ,John Arlott and Henry Blofeld where great orators.

Her commentary was like someone reading the telephone directory

<Her commentary was like someone reading the telephone directory>

I've heard that often.

From some poor fella with early onset from heading too many balls.

But nobody calls it out.

Did you wife tell you to type that?

Maskell, Arlott, Blofeld a different time and context.

Fond memories of all of them.

Women & BAME sports commentators are always put under a

closer scrutiny than white males ever are.

Is she a good orator,that should be the bare minimum for commentating.

I know you will say yes,despite the fact that her voice could send a glass eye to sleep.Forget the gender,is she a good orator?

Oration is for funerals & politics.

Her nerves were clearly shot to Hell.

No wonder.

Scary enough for anyone starting out.

Lineker was awful at the start but he knew the system favoured him.


I take it your wife is never allowed near the mic?

Jeez.

We've done well climbing out of the primeval mud 2b years ago.

Some are still struggling with the catchup tho.

I disagree - chances are there are a few creationists on here?

Silver.

By the look of the OP.

Aye.

I suppose being used to listening to commentators of Scottish football,she must be a huge upgrade.

Name some without googling.

So not a good orator then.Excuses given as well,her voice is so monotonous that if ITV had a different choice of commentators like the BBC millions like me would have switched coverage

<I take it your wife is never allowed near the mic?>

You've been quickfire posting that was 10 mins ago.

So that's a No then.

Why would I reply to such a childish post?

If that was male who 'bored' you this thread wouldn't exist.

Fact.

But they’re all British…?

<Why would I reply to such a childish post?>

Because you asked me if my wife told me to post a comment.

I came down to your level.

I've already said that McCoist and Savage are poor co commentators,you are the one bringing gender into the mix.Me I'm only interested in the quality of both context and oration and her voice was monotonous

<you are the one bringing gender into the mix.>



The fvkin OP is about gender.

From the guy who asks me 'Did your wife tell you to say that?'

Gender makes no difference for me,but her voice is not suitable for commentating on sport in my view.

You say different and even went out of your way to make excuses for her.So obviously you know that her awful voice is a weakness.I will call it out whether male or female,if the op was calling out Savage or McCoist you'd get the same response.Both should be retired from co commentating immediately

<Gender makes no difference for me>

So why did you bring my wife into it?

Suggesting she was the 'Boss'?
