Question of sport trio axed. (1 Viewer)

[Blind-Faith]

I don’t like her. All she did was “play” women’s football and now we have to put up with her all over our screens, presenting , dancing and throwing her twopenneth in on every football show going. And why is she getting all these opportunities? Is it because of how great she is at everything? Highly doubtful.....

Could literally be said about any form professional athlete that's now on TV in any other capacity. Including Dawson and Tuffnell.

I think she's a decent pundit. Better than a lot of the dross we normally have to put up with. Michael Owen and Jamie Redknapp to name but two.

I also can’t stand the Sue Smith either, I just switch off when she starts talking. Michelle Owen is ok and the same goes for Bianca Westwood.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Am I going to loose sleep over it? No. But it’s her, she just fucking winds me up.

Sue Barker- former sportswoman aged 41 when she replaced a 71yr old
Alex Scott- former sportswoman aged 35 when she replaced a 64 yr old

At a bit of a loss to understand what all the fuss is about tbh

 

[MusicDating]

I say good luck to Alex. Degree in Sports Journalism and Broadcasting, played for Arsenal, 140 appearances for England, only 35, I think he'll be perfect for the role.

Wait, Alex is...

Attractive? Smart? I’d rather stick my dick in a beehive. She’s just an ex “professional” footballer whoring herself out to any programme she can get on because she ticks boxes

Also, while we're at it, there is so much not to like about this post.
1. Undermining women's professional football. How do you propose she should have been more professional?
2. Why is the furthering of her television career "whoring herself out"? Is it possible that she is simply accepting offers of well paid work whilst she is in demand? Like anybody else in her profession would?
3. I'd be fairly confident that she'd rather you stick your dick in a beehive too.

Really like Scott as a pundit, not sure about as a presenter. Some absolute children on here.

I'm trying to think why appointing a professional sportswoman with a degree in sports journalism and broadcasting to present a TV sports quiz is triggering the response it is. It's mystifying, it real is, what is some peoples problem with her, i can't put my finger on it.

Give it John Amaechi 'til the end of the season.

1. women’s football is awful, truely awful
2. The woman’s on everything!
3. No that’s fair enough, no argument from me on that one

I bet she can't spell either

She'll be cheap.

 

[David O'Day]

I can't get enough of people losing their shit because a sports presenter who played 140 times for England, has a degree in sports journalism and broadcasting and is now an experienced sports presenter gets a gig hosting a sports quiz.

Hook it to my veins.

No pop no style, I'm strictly roots!

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I think the point has been spectacularly missed by a lot on here.

The issue is that in order to fill diversity quotas, very able people are being sacked from their jobs unnecessarily. How would some of you feel if you lost your job for no reason other than this fact?

I couldn't give a toss about Matt Dawson as a presenter really, but if you are filling a job to tick a box and taking it away from someone else in the process then there is a problem. I don't see anyone really frothing at mouth about this. It is just being pointed out.

 

[ajsccfc]

Looks like the only thing that would qualify her for the job in the eyes of Twitter racists is skin bleach.

 

[David O'Day]

I hope the team captains are Stormzy and the ghost of George Floyd

54-46 was my number

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Surely the only people who should really care about this, are people who avidly watch it, and really enjoy the current line-up?

The rest of us shouldn't really give a shit, surely?

Unless we're all planning to watch it now? And if so, they'd be entirely right to make a change!

Nope, everything is fair game in the culture war.

It's a load of virtue signalling by righties, isn't it

I'd argue that changing the lineup isn't an unnecessary move, it's one that they're most likely trying before swinging the axe on the whole format.

This is the most likely reasoning, it's a 50+ show that has been creaking for years. They've tried making it sub comedy sports quiz and all it flopped so this is the last chance before the go nuclear on it.

They need younger blood but those who are actual achievers in sport and not just there for the sake of diversity or youth.

Why not Nicola Adams as a captain ? Household name, achieved everything in her sport and now retiring. She's charismatic, and would attract some younger viewers.

Yes would like to see adams as a captain. I feel Alex Scott is on tv too much...bit like Balding a few years ago. Hope a captain is not Savage or Sutton...or god forbid Ian Wright.

Christ alive don’t say she’s on tv too much! She’s got a degree don’t you know

 

[shmmeee]

GET NEIGHBOURS BACK ON THE BBC!

It's gone to shit since it went to Channel 5.

While we are there, Byker Grove too.

BRB off to post Spuggy to the Not So Obvious thread

I'd have Dion Dublin ahead of them any day. Make a good captain but perhaps on telly enough already.

 

[Evo1883]

I'm just glad Clinton Morrison didn't get a job on it... Atleast be thankful for that, with all the talented BAME people out there how that illiterate twat keeps getting work is beyond me

 

[lifeskyblue]

Yes Dublin over those three every day of the week. Scott as presenter so might avoid a footballer as captain.

I’d have Nicola Adams one side , Rylan the other captain and RU Paul presenting. All bases and boxes ticked then so no one can complain

Poor Nicola Adams if that were the line up.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Dianne Abbott hosts it, with Zoe Ball filling in when she's not available.

Nah, to keep the scoring integrity Priti Patel is the fill in.

I swear they already do the QI scoring.

Do you reckon she'd present it in her 'alterback?
