Abusing due to sex is obv not on but Caren Karney is on a par with Micheal Owen for banalities and stating the obvious. She is shocking.

Alex Scott does know what she is talking about but here voice is like chalk down a blackboard, to me, same as Jamie Carragher.

Gabby Logan is great, as was whoever was the commentator on the women's world cup. However if you think someone is crap you shouldn't worry about saying so with out the PC brigade coming down your neck.

I quite like Alex Scott's voice but find Caren Karney a bit shrieky and one pitched tbh

I am an old sexist.

I don't want to listen to a woman's view (or listen to their commentary) on men's football. I don't want to listen to a scousers view on men's football.

I go to men's football to get away from women. I did not play mixed football.

I would not post abusive comments but I will voice my preference.

Neg away.

Even shrieky woman from the old days of LBC isn’t as bad as Karney but it’s the BANALITIES “he ran for the ball but didn’t get it” as it goes off. “He took a shot there” as the ball is shot at goal. “That was a pass from Mr A to Mr B” yes it ******* was you don’t need to tell me I can see it was a sideways pass.

The amount Karen Carney got was shocking. It was justifiable for Leeds fans to call her out about that arguably incorrect statement she made, but mixed in with the reasoned debate was swarms of misogyny.

[Worksop Palace]

I like Alex Scott. She’s intelligent and knows her stuff and talks clearly and concisely. Far prefer her to the likes of Sutton.

Carney is terrible as is screechy woman - Vicky someone ?

Bianca Westwood on Sky is beyond awful. Michell Owen is ok.

There’s plenty of shite male pundits as well by the way. Sky did the right thing getting shot of Le Tossier, Thompson and Champagne Dickhead. Merson is cringe as well with his ‘he’s hit the beans’ ‘goal ...and it’s Desmond’. Do fvck off.

[palacemetros]

Worksop. Michel Owen is shit mate. He's scouse, but that's not his excuse.

Alex Scott is the best mainstream pundit on tv at the moment after Gary Neville, for me.

I like Alex Scott and, if I have the right woman, I also like Karney (though I'm not sure if she started out as screechy woman and then chilled out, or if they are two different people). Anyway, I thought the woman who commentated on a couple of our recent games made some very insightful points, far better than we're usually served up.I like her.

“Screechy woman” is Vicky Sparkes, the same one David Moyes threatened to slap.

Karen Carney is brummie. So a slightly annoying accent of course, but nothing wrong with her pitch imo.

[Nostrils]

Oh, I might like screechy woman in that case (when she's not screeching, of course). Definitely not a Brummie I'm talking about.

I forgot all about Moyes saying that actually. What a tosspot.

I'll take note who I'm listening to next time, it's going to bug me now

They should just get Hazel Irvine to do all sport. What a lady.

Football punditry, male or female, bar a few exceptions, is beyond awful. Dumbed down cliche riddled bollocks. Rugby and Cricket put it to shame.

As does American football, and probably American sports in general. They really do their research stats wise over the pond.

I think the NBC punditry I see occasionally on palace streams is better on average than Sky or BT.

Danish commentators are much more observant when it comes to in game tactics and what is going on.

Yeah totally I really don't think I have an issue with women and football, I'm all for it, my daughter plays and loves going to SP with me but the problem is most of the female commentators just get on my tits. especially the screechie one.

That female linesman sorry woman seems to do a decent job. Quite like her.

Agreed on both!
