Alex Scott speaks well in fairness, but some of the others, fucking hell.

That high pitched screeeech from one on the radio is ear piercing. 

Agree with that, if all reporters/commentators were as good as her, it would be a much easier listen.

There's some terrible one's at the moment, and I've yet to hear a woman commentate on a football match to an acceptable level.  Sounds sexist, but its not, its the quality of delivery and surely women can't enjoy listening to it any more than men do, as you say it can be ear piercing.

Black (?) or white, male, female or binary etc, all we want are people who know what they're talking about.

 

There is a clear movement towards more inclusivity for BAME / female presenters and I'm all for it as long as they're better than whoever is doing the job now.

It's not coz she's female it's because she's shite, full of herself, sounds ludicrous and too fckg ubiquitous. 

... & thanks. But I think I'll cope.

 

I'd rather listen to her than the likes of Chris Sutton who just gets angry so he can sound controversial

it's "amusing" listening to Robbie Savage and Sam Quek (who isn't even a footballer) on R5 (or any other male ex footballer they have on) - they all can't wait to talk over her and clearly don't take her that seriously - Savage always seems to be questionning the logic behind any of her opinons in order to make her look stupid

Agree with what you're saying, I'd add that its about delivery and voice as well as knowledge.  If they all sound like Alan Ball it doesn't matter how much knowledge they've got, its hard to listen to if they are commentating.  Jacqui Oatley was good on Sunday Supplement for a few months earlier this year, she knows her stuff, but when she commentates on MOTD or the radio, I have to turn it off, too screechy.

Yes, very annoying.  Permanently playing either the pantomime villain or the resident comedian, very little normal discussion.  On 5 live its like they can no longer have a discussion without loads of bantz and mickey taking to the detriment of getting their points over.  I don't mind it from a natural like Ian Wright because that's his personality, its the forced humour just for the sake of it that grates.

Surely quek should just shut up, and let savage talk in order to make him look stupid
