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.

Talking of Villa legends, Lee Hendrie is excellent as a co-commentator, does lower divisions and seems to have a genuine enthusiasm and knowledge for it.

Traf Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 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.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jol_BWFC Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Garth Crooks on final score is/was horrific. I haven’t watched it for so long, I’ve no idea if he still does it. For a while I was without Sky Sports and it was painful listening to him, Jason Mohammed, Chris Sutton and Jermaine Jenas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.
