    just turned of MOTD , and there was woman football commentator , who sounded like Sue Barker. Frankly i think its political correctness gone too far. I love women, but c'mon would they like it if Trevor Brennan or Alex Ferguson presented off the rails or the latest fashion programme.
    Somethings in life are traditional, and shouldn't be messed with.

    No joke I just watched that and was about to come on here and have my own rant about it

    She seemed to screech everytime the ball went near the opponents half

    because you would assume fergie or trevor would not know anything, or much, about fashion.

    If the woman knows here football then its fine by me. Without having heard her commentate, i would still reckon it is safe enough to assume that she can not be any worse then some of the halfwits we hear most of the time anyway.

    I dont particlarly care about the whole "Oi, Women, Noooooo!" thing, but when actually listening to her, it annoys me. She's so Shrill. Its like being at a match and hearing women screeching. Its just not easy on the ears. Im sure theres a chick out there who's voice would be music to the ears doing commentary, but it aint her.

    to balance things up , i can't stand that Fat chap who seams to be the main BBC footy commentator , another highly strung drama queen -- forget his name -- volume control on the remote is a blessing

    Gabby Logan is good too !!
