As a feminist, I welcome more birds in football.
Proper birds though, no skanks. They give birds a bad name.

It’s very annoying. Reverse discrimination is rife at the BBC

Agree. Also Isa Guha and Ebony Rainford-Brent (when she turns down the banter) are good. Cricket commentary is much more suited as it has a more restrained style rather than football commentary which has a much shoutier style which is probably due to having to be heard over the crowd.

Clare Balding is brilliant ?
FOMB. Fucking dire, more like. Constantly looking for some pitiful 'emotional' angle to whatever the fuck she happens to be wittering on about. Makes me want to throw up.

Not for me personally, definitely not commentators it just sounds wrong.
Presenters such as Hazel Irvine (Snooker) and Clare Balding are brilliant but I have yet to find a football presenter or commentator I like, although as I said Commentators for me spoil the game.

Alison Mitchell is a joy to listen to with her commentary of the Ashes, she's not overly high pitched and is the perfect balance when paired up along side the grumpiness of Boycott....oh, and she knows the sport inside and out.

Re: Female commentary on the BBC
How so? I don't like female football commentators because their voices are too high pitched, not because they are female

Football should only be commentated on by middle aged men.If that is sexist then guilty as charged.
It just doesn't sound right.

Some sports are a little more conducive to female commentators - cricket, for example.
Debbie Hockley was commentating on the NZ vs WI test match the other day, and she's just as knowledgeable as any male commentator, probably as a result of having played over 100 ODI's and 20 or so test matches.
It definitely helps that she has a deeper voice than most women too though.

Agreed. Fine as presenters, if they know their football and talk a good game, but terrible commentators. Too excitable and too high-pitched.

Its inevitable as females are better at talking than males.
Its simple females practice more.
