You implied that you had decided his comment was uncalled for because you've been told celebrities shouldn't punch down.

And yes, she is trying to build a career out of creating online content. And regardless of whether you think she's talking shite, it's just massively shitty of him to single her out because she's a woman. She's literally doing no harm to anyone so and doesn't deserve to ridiculed on social media by some arsehole trying to create a diversion from the fact he was trying play down a racially motivated murder committed by his brother last week. If younger audiences like that sort of thing then let them crack on.

Exactly this. I myself will admit, unabashedly, to preferring male commentary over female. But I'm not appalled like this wanker when a woman commentates, nor do I need to see a shrink for not changing the channel. He did what he did because he's desperate to whore himself to some rancid, far-right broadcaster.

If you don't like the commentary, and you're in a position of spotlight, keep it to yourself and have a little grumble in private. But to air his insecurities publicly like he did, and denigrate and discredit the work of an entire gender and start a conversation that didn't need having was cowardly. And to single out that City vlogger, a grown man attacking a young woman doing her level best at something, was slimy. Thing is, viewing figures will always dictate; if so many are put off by the females then those figures will plummet and a change would be made, but they're not because most men aren't total wet wipes.

He's a lowlife. Always has been, always will be.

Pretty obvious at this point that his views on this aren't really driven by a want for higher standards in punditry, it's just straight up misogyny. He's now essentially saying women shouldn't be in any workplace around men. And apparently when a married man has an affair with a woman, it's the woman rather than his own poor decisions that will end up costing him his marriage.

Doubly egregious of him to then try and bait female presenters into publicising his shitty podcast and accuse them of being too shy to debate him. He's thick as fuck.

It is misogyny, not even implicit. I fucking hate misogyny more than anything else in the world. If he steps foot in the Etihad again I hope someone chins the ****.

Ah yes the good ol' days!!!!

None of this passing the opposition to death - This was proper football.

'Don't bother awarding us the corner ref, we've more chance of conceding on the break once Barton inevitably hits the first man again. The awarding of a goal kick to the opposition will be ample thank you'.............

Agree 100% with him regarding commentary and punditry they have never played men's football. it would be like a weekend golfer commentating on the Ryder cup. Pretty sure that they're not used on the overseas broadcasts so I use my iptv

Is this a poorly telegraphed Clarkie?

I've played at a Sunday league level in 'mens' football so that makes me more qualified than all of the female pundits?

Coupled with that, as Wenger and Mourinho didn't play at s high level are suggesting that they can't give good insight into the game?

How anyone can think that the likes of Jill Scott are somehow less qualified or informative than the likes of Michael Owen, Martin Keown or Steve McManaman purely because she doesn't have a cock is blatantly incorrect.

struth.........
 
The need to have played at the highest level seems a little silly.

Perhaps art critics should have to paint to the standard of Rembrandt to have a qualified view, or maybe Sid Waddell should have left darts to those that have chucked arrows at the highest level.

Anybody who’s done their coaching badges are qualified to comment on tactics.

Can you imagine the uproar if a female pundit pissed around as much as Micah does, whilst adding the square root of fuck all insight into the game?

Fortunately, Barton’s plea will land on the deafest of ears and it’ll carry on how the broadcasters want, not what a washed up manager has to say.
