There was a female commentator on one of the MotD games last night. Listening to her, she was saying most of the right things that the male commentators would say but it wasn't the same. I couldn't get it out of my mind that she sounded like a young prepubescent teenage boy who had won a competition...
Yep it was cringeworthy and wasn't very convincing either.

The only aspect of the coverage I find disappointing is the use of Gareth Wilshire as a summeriser. He's not in a position to provide fair, unbiased analysis.

Same here and I had to mute it I'm afraid. Not anti women in sports broadcasting at all, Gaby Roslin is a first class sports presenter in my opinion.

Agree, presenting isn't a problem, I would add Kelly Cates to Gaby, but commentating is slightly different...

I think Tim is excellent. Commentary is a very difficult skill - he manages to not only paint a good picture of what's happening on the pitch, but also add the passion that you need at local radio level. Add to that his knowledge of everything NTFC for many many years and he is the right man for the job.
To be fair to Caroline I think she is improving. They have it right by only having her present (and not commentate!). I agree that ex players are a better option than Gareth for the un-biased analysis (no criticism on him), but to be fair they do utilise ex players whenever it makes geographical sense.
The only criticism I have of Caroline is in her post game interviews with JED. She asks all the usual questions which is fine, but we no longer get the slightly controversial questions that (for example) Joe asked CW back in Joe's early days. Tim also asks better questions, as do the summarisers on the odd occasion they have been involved. For me it would work better if Tim and/or the summariser chipped in with follow up questions once Caroline has done the basics.

A lot of the comments on here are dinosaur priceless! It's probably a good idea if some men got the hang of the idea that women not only watch football but also forge a career in the sports media. It's similar to the cringeworthy comments you get from some male passengers when a female pilot welcomes them aboard a flight.

Always remember the "wag" on a schools trip to Germany, when the pilot informed us we were leaving French air space and heading into Germany - murmuring "bombs away". Nobody laughed at all. ............thank goodness.

You mean I may have been on a plane flown by a woman. Why was that allowed to happen?

I don't mind a bird pilot, as long as theres a couple of mail co-pilots to take over the controls just in case her period starts mid flight and all rational thoughts leave her highly complex mind.

And to land the bloody thing. Seriously, can you imagine a woman trying to park it on one of those tiny Mediteranean runways?

I think this is very poor form by you; you are flying in the face of liberal opinion on here and mocking their views. To make it worse it is littered with spelling errors and bad language. On a more lighthearted note both USA and Russia Commercial Airlines boast fully fledged woman pilots. Would I prefer a woman pilot ...............no.
