She’s the female equivalent of Micah Richards, although at least he is entertaining. I actually much prefer Emma Hayes after listening to her at the Euros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I like her but as discussed in a thread about her a few weeks back I just wish she’d tone it down a little. Every goal, pass, save is gushed over as though we’re witnessing the second coming of Waddle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest OwlPastie Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I think she makes a good presenter, rather than pundit. I don't mean to sound misogynistic, but I think how you look goes a long way in TV. Of course, she's an intelligent, and likeable character. But no matter how great a pundit Steve Cooper could be, he's never going to make it big on TV. That's a face for radio right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raminpeace Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 She’s not great. reasonable visage but the bbc does insist on inflicting some rubbish on us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Does she actually commentate on televised games? I've seen her as a pundit and a co-commentator, but not as an actual commentator. Unless I'm mistaken in the above, why would they choose her for that specific role in FIFA, rather than using an actual commentator as they have in the past? I feel like I'm missing something here?

There are loads of male pundits who wouldn't be considered "attractive". Nearly all the female pundits would be considered "attractive". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's not actually a commentator on televised games, but will be a commentator on FIFA? We're not talking co-commentator here? If so, that does seem really odd. I feel like that can't be the case, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like that can't be the case, though? Yeh. It's not odd-she's really popular. When was the last time the FIFA commentary made the news?

It still seems odd to me for them to use a pundit / presenter as the main commentator, rather than keep with the tradition of using actual commentators. I thought the whole point was to replicate TV broadcasts as closely as possible by using the voices you hear when watching at home? Meh, it's no big deal - I usually mute the TV and listen to music when playing anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errol Flashman Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Oh, that FIFA! I thought you meant like on them official World Cup films they archive. Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
