Have you never looked at her and thought so or are we not allowed to mention it? You are making no sense. As was pointed out, it's irrelevant here, as is my taste in women (or men for that matter).

So finding someone attractive is irrelevant because they are a football pundit. Was it ok to find her fit on Strictly or not? Again, just so us knuckle draggers know where the line is.

Scotch Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 Alex Scott is a good pundit regardless of what she does or doesn't have between her legs. Yes, I'm sure that her being female makes her more attractive to hire for TV companies as it portrays equality but the simple fact is, shes far more balanced and measured than idiots like Owen, Murphy, Souness, Keane and countless others. Some of the pundits that we have are God awful. I think it's lazy and short sighted to suggest that one of the few decent ones we have is there because She's an attractive lady. I mean, c'mon, Clinton Morrison gets plenty of work and he speaks like he has pretty significant learning difficulties yet we are going to question Scott being hired before him? *Note* Despite him being terrible at his job.... I do happen to like Clinton Morrison. No idea why. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have, however, suggested that mentioning it in a debate about her punditry is irrelevant to the debate, and also an indicator of the double standards women are often held to. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 Gender isn't an issue and I get that having ex pros adds an insight and authenticity that is beneficial, but the best ones are generally journalists. They know the game and can articulate it best. Anyone who watches the BT champs league goals show will know that. As has been said, most punditry is garbage. Murphy, Merson, Crooks, et.al are all thick as pig shit and just roll out clichés with the occasional faux outrage over something totally meaningless to try and stay relevant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban.spaceman Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 I became an uncle for the first time last year to my niece. A few months later City announced they were acquiring the women's team and they were going professional. This made me proud to see us finally taking the women's game more seriously, but also hopeful because it would open up even more opportunities and avenues for my niece when she grew up. There's a new pathway for her to get involved in playing, coaching, officiating or literally anything behind the scenes, that didn't exist before. I'm pushing her into playing in the hope she can get me free tickets . There's plenty of men involved in the women's game, mainly due to the fact it's still growing, but also often because they're men and are given the role (Phil Neville as England coach?!) - I can't see any reason why women can't be involved in the men's game. Sian Massey is a fine lineswoman and has been for many years now. Stéphanie Frappart was by far our best referee this season. I like Alex Scott. I think she's a fresh voice on punditry panels and provides insight that some others - from a different generation - lack. She's also clearly very talented - cynics will claim that the BBC giving the likes of her and Jenas presenting work in other fields is quota filling, but they both obviously have a talent for it and why not give them the opportunity? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that female pundits not only have to be good at their jobs but they also have to be attractive which is a slap in the face when folk like Joleon Lescott, who is neither of those things gets regular work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is blatant doube standards. If you find it offensive for me to suggest that Alex Scott is Fit (she is) than how is it ok for Suzie to say that she finds Shearer fit? I think for the record Suzie should be allowed to say that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
