This Leeds game is exactly what football should be about...end to end, teams running at each other. Really breath of fresh air!

Which explains why she's never off the bloody telly. Ticks so many boxes for the TV execs! (It's certainly not for her analysis)

Very good pundit and quite measured.

She gets on my nerves. Prefer Karen Carney who seems to be more about the football itself rather than a media luvvie.

The young lady who was commentating on our game Monday night was pretty good. (Radio 5live)

She was a very good footballer too, before she went into the media.
She also p@ssed off Leeds fans with a comment she made about Leeds so she went right up in my estimations.

Don't the BBC have any other presenters they can use? Ms Scott is all over the telebox at the moment, and will be even more with FF, QoS,Motd, and numerous other appearances.
There are plenty of other diverse presenters of various genders, sexualities, ethnicity out there, and imo Ms Scott is not a particularly good presenter, or pundit, especially when compared to Claire Balding, Sue Barker and Karen Carney. Her presenting style always seems forced , and looks like she is never comfortable . When she first appeared a few years ago I hoped that she would grow into the role, and become more personable but she hasn't appeared to develop her skills at all . Her clipped vocal presentation is just annoying after 5 mins.
Diversity is good, and I say lets have some diversity from Ms Scott,

I think Alec Scott is a great choice,I find that Dan chap rather wooden and seems a bit out of place.
I think Alec Scott personality will help and being an ex footballer should bring about some more interesting discussion and a bit of freindly ex footballer banter simalar to what lineker brought to match of the day I reckon.
I'm also impressed how prepared she is whenever she is on a panel,I get the impression she has really worked hard on research and stats before an appearance.
I agree with Karen cerney too though,I was really impressed with her commentary and analysis on Monday,really good.
I usually listen to radio Sussex,Warren and JC are the best commentary team for the Albion in my opinions on but if Karen is on radio 5 again I will probably give that a listen instead.
But congratulations to Alec Scott thoroughly deserved.

She hasn't been confirmed for QOS or FF as far as I am aware. Only a lot of people on Twitter making an assumption she'll get the jobs as a box ticking exercise.

Ex 'park' footballer. Good ol BBC ticking those boxes. Would imagine a white, male ex professional footballer wouldn't have got anywhere near getting the job. If BoJo was to resign tomorrow I'd half expect her to get the role. Still she ain't bad looking so it has some consolations.
