BIG D Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/14639434/alex-scott-first-female-presenter-football-focus/ I think she'll be good and it's well deserved. I hope she's ready for plenty of stick though from the usual hate mob. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Seen a lot of it on twitter. People saying that they would have preferred someone who had experience of playing at a high level in the mens game. You know, a bit like Dan Walker and Mark Chapman. FF is worse when she isn't on it so I think she will be great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshy Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Much more pleasing on the eye too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzatheowl Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Very good pundit and the BBC think highly of Alex with her also presenting A Question of Sport from next series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Phew! When I saw that Walker was stepping down, I had a horrible feeling that Jenas was being lined up for the role. Nothing against him, but he's a bit bland. I much prefer Scott - she talks well about the game, isn't scared of an opinion, and has a personality that's easy to warm to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 So rather than wanting her opinion as a pundit they just want her there looking pretty and asking the pundits questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_1 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Big fan of Alex Scott – comparing her with some of the male pundits we have to endure is night and day. She makes Merson, McMannaman, Ashley Cole etc all seem like complete amateurs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh on occasions but she’s going to be the question asker not answerer, she can chime in occasionally but at the end of the day she’s been put in the job that they usually have none footballers in. She’s becoming a tv host not a football expert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Alex Scott is a good pundit / presenter and being easy on the eye helps as well. But I think she is in danger of being over exposed, seems to pop up everywhere. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I like Scott, she comes across well and knowledgeable. Good move and hopefully she gets involved in the analysis rather than just presenting. Unlike that Sue Smith on Sky Sports - God I hate listening to her. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
