I got my 10 seconds of fame through JB, the day he was released from Strangeways I was coming out of the jail at the same time after being in a meeting there and was on the news, I did chuckle to myself

Haha

 Who’d have thought a criminal record effects your career suitability.
 

Strange he went down the road of his skin colour, gender and sexuality before he thought about his time inside 🤔

I'm thinking not wanted as a manager, if someone employed that cunt as a manager I'd be questioning their reasons.

I presume he means on TV as a pundit 

That's what he's been harping on about all week 

He was saying British middle aged white men are under attack 

He can't be on about managers because that's what most of them are

While all this is very true.

I’ve thought this for a couple of decades.

Post his criminal and vile behaviour, I’ve been amazed at every club who wanted him as a player and especially a manager.

A horrible person to have around your club. Imagine being told what to do by that cunt.

Whether it’s punditry or management he’s been after, it’s obvious he can’t be trusted. Whilst I wish him all the best with his anger management, it’s clear from his time at Fleetwood he still can’t control it. 

Rather than looking at himself he blames everyone else. Women, skin colour, the wokery etc. etc. Proper cowards behaviour from a very strange man. The Gammons will lap it up of course.

 Barton I’m not keen but I’ve not seen him blaming anyone, he’s just making a point about women commentators. These mythical gammons you keep referencing seem to upset you more than they should.

Barton declared himself the King of Twitter, he is a fucking loon.

The fact is most women pundits are not very good, but are so are most blokes. Carragher and Neville were alright but now think the job is shooting the other one down. Keane and Richards just want think they are funny and laugh at each other. 
So his initial point has some truth but it is surrounded and overtaken by paragraphs of 'ain't I hard you woke bastards' bull shit.

I think Keane is ace. I could listen to him all day. Not commentary, but the overlap show with him, Neville Carragher and Richards is brilliant

I prefer the EFL commentators/pundits.

They don’t act like every goal, pass and bit of skill is the greatest event in human history and needs to have gallons of jizz splattered down our ears.

Theres some flatdicks involved there as well but I can’t say they’re any better or worse than the blokes.

Barton is scouse. He needs ignoring for that reason alone.

Think that is what annoys me about their punditry they think that and the Overlap is the same job, not see  Richards on there, but Keane comes across very well even when the joke is on him.

Richards has hit haircut three times a week at £300 a go, that is enough for me to dislike him. The screeching look at me having so much fun attitude is fucking annoying.

Aye

Keane is a top pundit for me. Quite like his sense of humour as well. 

R5 live makes good listening for me. There are some good female pundits, presenters and commentators out there as well and it's about time they were given a platform. It's hardly a takeover. 

Barton's tweet isn't just a nonsense rant. He's been actively trolling young female vloggers. Imagine being that sad a bastard to go after teenage girls for showing an interest in football. 

Quite like the clips you can find from in the stands and the pre-game build up. Adds another dimension to the game.

Lets be honest, while clinton remains on sky, theres at least one bloke stealing a living

No idea if its all of em, as i cant tell one from another, but its just it doesnt feel natural

There were some shockers during the Women's World Cup when they were trying to fill the numbers. 

I think a lot are okay now. It's bound to feel strange when you've been used to something else your whole life. 

Now Saudi Arabian commentary - there's a whole new level of irritation.

Firstly they try to hard, speak to much, less is more, in general they do know what they’re talking about but Id rather hear the professional opinion of someone who’s played men’s football when it’s a men’s game.

Thats not comms though, is it

I grew up watching tv comms with one bloke who hadnt played to any sort of level and it was descriptive and opinionated

no need for co comms...but i know some want that

I do think its tough for a woman to speak from experience about top level mens football

In fact, its ipossible

 

Last thing, when did you ever hear, when covering a womans game, what an awful miss

Its always, good try
