Hinchcliffe used to be alright, but in recent years he's become a right cocky arse. Always makes snippy banter comments. It's like he's got so confident in his own brilliant punditry that he can discuss the game like he's down the pub with his mates.
Great. Call her a rubbish pundit all you like. I don't think she's had a great night either. But I don't see the need for "Doris", because that specifically references her gender and comes across, to me, as misogynistic. Whether casual or intentional.
No I wasn't suggesting it was you.
And yes, yes I do have to react like that because of comments (not by you) like "clueless Doris". I don't have to tolerate that sort of shit and I'm not going to.
Oh I quite agree. But the male commentator has also been pretty ropey in this game, yet I don't see nearly as much stick coming his way.
Equally, I'm just a clueless Doris though, so what right do I have to an opinion.
Of course there are. But the difference is, they get judged because they are shit, not because they are men.
Twunts like Barton generalise an entire gender as shit commentators because one or two are, and plenty of people are, sadly, willing to go along with that
