She made my ears bleed which isn't the best ever thing that's happened to me.

Hello mert. -
So she sounded a bit different. Big deal. What were you expecting - she's not going to sound like Paul Robeson, is she?
She was OK. She's a commentator so it's hardly important. They're all pretty crap.
I remember it was big news when a woman first presented a sports programme. Now we're all over the shock, the Universe hasn't collapsed in on itself, the Four Horsemen haven't ridden into town.
OK, it might take our ears a bit of time to get so used to a woman commentating that we don't notice but give it time, people..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.Comment

I don't really know why anyone's bothered.
From Martin Kelner's article in today's Guardian:
Finally a woman gets to commentate on a Premiership football match on Match of the Day. All right, it was only Fulham v Blackburn Rovers, but what a triumph for female emancipation as Jacqui Oatley got to say things like "Jason Roberts found himself in acres of space there", "Fulham caught totally square at the back" and "What a crucial goal that could be", all statements previously thought - and still thought by Dave Bassett and the Daily Mail's Steve Curry - impossible to utter without being in possession of a penis..

I thought she did a perfectly acceptable job. I was actually surprised by how disconcerting I found her tone. I'm sure I will get used to it - much like I did with Johnathan Pearce.
She is much better than John Barnes."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

alan green is the topdog. i also think chris waddle is decent on 5live aswell!I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman.Comment

I used to really like Green and sometimes still do but he is often too much opinion and not enough description for my taste. He would be very good on TV I think.Originally posted by simey85 View Post
Waddle can be good but he seems to have a lot of preconcieved ideas about things. He was talking before Mpenzas Man City debut and he had written him off before the game and although he has been very good for them IMO he has never uttered a word of praise for him."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

Finally saw her last night.
She wasn't good, but neither are most of the male ones these days either. It did seem strange though but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
As for the high pitched screams when goals are scored, aren't women supposed to do that when they're excited?
Dreams come true. Without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.
