Mate can’t lie you’re having a mare on this thread So you can make a joke about it if it is a man but if I had said it about Alex Scott then I would be berated for it by what I believe would be the minority of snowflakes on the forum. Double standards again. I disagree that I am the one having a nightmare on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftfagos Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 I’d just be happy, once in a while, to watch one of our games without listening to a ‘you could cut it with a knife’ Scouse accent. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare you! You should not be listening to their accent as they are there to analyse football not where they were brought up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhandfox Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 Why can't people accept it should be about you skill, knowledge and ability whether you can do a job. Not your gender, colour of your skin, your religion, sexual orientation, social background. It's simple really, all of us, no matter who we are, have had a door shut in our face at sometime in our life due to some form of discrimination. Don't fear change.......

Otherwise she's talks the same breeze and clichés the others do about anyone outside the big 6. Neville is the best by a country mile for me. Carraghers one of the worst. Agreed. She offers no different view to male pundits. I feel people try and justify her because she's a woman. Most pundits, male or female, are shit lets be honest. Good ex-footballers, but failed managers, trying to tell current managers what to do. Edited 23 February 2021 by Fox92 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is worse is you call me dense yet you can't see where you have double standards because it suites the Snowflake agenda. I am not offended by anything you have said. You were offended by me finding Alex Scott attractive. How you think by me finding someone attractive on the tele is sexualising girls in the workplace (actually you should be using the term female) is just plain weird. Alex Scott is fit. There I said it. I also think she is really good at punditry too. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently my opinion of her punditry skills is invalid because I also think she is attractive. This in turn makes me a weirdo sex case apparently as she is talking about football. I still do not know at which point it is ok to find her attractive as there does not seem to be a line drawn.

This may be true, but, and i'm sorry if people disagree, football is about passion from a pundit and commentator point of view when you watch the match and i just don't get that from female pundits. Reeling off tons of stats and being extremely knowledgeable might be fine for some, but i want to here Gary Neville type OOOOOOO's and Gooooooooooooooaaaaaaalllll's and there's only one thought i'd have if Alex Scott started doing that. It also reminds me of olympic netball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RonnieTodger Posted 23 February 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 23 February 2021 Some nonsense coming from both sides here. Our manager never played a high level of the mens game, yet he knows a thing or two about football. Also, the comment about Alex Scott's looks was fine. I cant remember who mentioned it, but it wasn't crude, he praised her punditry alone and he didn't suggest that it's had anything to do with why she's sat in the chair. If one of our female fans comments about Schmeichel or Iborra being easy on the eye, no-one bats an eyelid. Stop trying so hard to be offended. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think calling people snowflakes and pc pansies is probably not helping your case Mr. Beeblebrox I'd defer to the female members of FoxesTalk as to whether saying Alex Scott is attractive, per se, makes them feel uncomfortable. I might at the same time, in an attempt to get their honest and balanced opinion, utter the phrase 'lightly buttered Iborra' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 1 hour ago, TamworthFoxes said: That is true but I never understand it as a reason to support having female pundits. It is obvious the real reason is to seem PC. As an example, it could be argued that Big Dave Postlethwaite who played for the Dog and Duck in the Blackburn Pub League for 18 years and scored an unbelievable 830 goals should also have the same right to rock up as apundit on the BBC. Played the game and was succesful - Tick The Professional game a lot higher standard than what he played at - Tick So poor Big Dave has got the same credentials as Alex scott but never gets a look in. Wont somebody think of the equal rights of Pub Players/pundits who never get a chance. Poor comparison really. Big Dave has never played professional football. If you think she’s only on there to be politically correct then you’ve obviously never listened to her insights. If you had a builder coming round your house but it was a woman, and she had more success and similar levels of experience at her job than anyone currently on that firm, would you turn her away?
