New MOTD Presenter

[Smurph]

I took the comment as highlighting how ridiculous the comment above it was myself.

Maybe

I can't watch results show on Sky during the 3pm kick off's on a Saturday. The pundits on there are awful.

And now they have that useless bell end Mike Dean on as well, that was the final straw for me.

Awful referee, always made the game about him.

What about the gay bloke box?

Stick your app in?

I'm like Darran, who gives a f*ck

No issues with a woman presenter... not so keen on women commentators on men's games . You don't see men presenting or commentators on the WSL so there is no parity or equality

I'm just glad jug ears has gone

Eni Aluko, just to watch Joey Barton go into meltdown.

You're right, there is no parity or equality.

Do you know how hard it is for a woman to make a break through in journalism, let alone the male orientated world of sport.

The likes of Paul Merson, Jermaine Jenas (before his self inflicted meltdown) are two a penny and get gigs anywhere they like with little to no effort in landing the job.

Oh yes, Jenas, forgot about him. Also Michael Owen, Owen Hargreaves. It’s a long list.

I get people waiting up to watch MOTD before t'internet, but when all the Prem goals are available for free about an hour after the game on the Sky website anyway I'm kinda surprised that people still do, no matter who presents it.

Don’t think I’ve watched MOTD properly for about 20 years now.

Anyhoo, Kelly is a great choice.

The list is pretty endless.

It's amazing with what some viewers will put up with depending on the persons genitalia.

I agree with the current mens pundits being a pain to listen too..but with all sports, you have past players being pundits from rugby, cricket, hockey and boxing giving insights from their experience as past past players. I don't have an issue with that. Similarly, Alex Scott is used in the same format across different programmes.

Sport has evolved massively and women's sport especially since the professional era needs the same female contribution to drive it.

Personally, women's cricket works well with Mel Jones, ERB, Lydia Greenway and especially Natalie Germanos as pundits

I’m all for women’s rights, as long as my dinner is on the table, and there’s a nice crease on my kegs
