I don't get the bashing of females in Football punditry or commentary, they've played the game at the highest level and will know more about that game than the average Football fan.
Joey Barton can fuck off as well.
They have played at the highest level in the women's game not the men's game. Any average amateur sunday league men's team would beat the best women's professional team comfortably. That is not relevant to the argument anyway. It is perfectly normal to criticise or have a negative opinion about a women in commentary or punditry on TV just like we often do with some of the absolute jokers that are men in punditry. We shouldnt assume that any criticism is coming from a place of conscious or sub conscious misogyny or the patriachy etc.
There are plenty of good knowledgable women involved in the men's game and who deserve the opportunity to be on the TV. I think the likes of Emma Hayes, Mel Ready, Kelly Cates, Alex Scott and Laura Woods etc are as good as most if not all men on talking about football or other sports.
I honestly think Emma Hayes could manage in the mens game. I would love to see her get a shot in the men's game some day. I dont know if she has ambitions to crossover but i do know she is really clued up about the men's game and she is shit hot about tactics and has studied the top coaches in the world - Mourinho, Klopp and Pep etc
Joey Barton can fuck right off as well. The sub human anti vax fucking rat.
