What did she say Rich?

I'll take your word for that chap. I just find her to be very argumentative and she always seems to try and cause some friction when there isn't really anything there.

Does she post on here?

That Nestor just needed another 6 months to turn the ship around and Mark Miles is a car park attendant

Pretty much spot on, isn't it. 

Why do people have to be labelled as within a group. Can't we just get to a point where people get jobs because they're fucking good at what they do, and not because they tick a specific box?

Caps don’t win automatic work and they don’t make a brilliant pundit either. The way you communicate, articulate yourself, do your research, inform your audience, how likeable you are and the chemistry you have with your panel are what makes a brilliant pundit.

“The women’s game should be by women for women,” is one of the most damaging phrases I’ve heard. It will not only drag women’s sport backwards, it will drag women’s punditry in all forms of the game backwards.

If you want to grow something, you don’t gate keep it. We want to encourage little boys and men to watch women’s football too, not just little girls and women. And when they see someone like Ian Wright taking it as seriously as he does - they follow suit. That’s how you grow a sport."

I just find her argument completely baffling.

One of the biggest jobs in football is MOTD. Currently 2/3 hosts are women. Both of whom are bloody fantastic, well read up, engaging and professional.

Can't argue with any of that.

At a time when we are seeing more female commentators and pundits in the men's game trying to gatekeep the women's game to women only will only result in a similar push back in the men's.

We need more female posters.

[Josh1873]

I try my best to bring some feminine energy.

A poster calling you "a big girl!", is not feminine energy, Josh.
