Female announcer - yes or no poll

[ROSM]

I have nothing against women being involved in football. Jacqui oately is a good commentator for example and Gabby Logan is knowledgeable and informing. However our announcer today sounded like she was auditioning for Milkshake.

 

[Bladders]

Did anyone get a look at the is vocal temptress?

 

[VAL1850]

She was about as inspiring as the team - Get rid

 

[tomfitz12]

she seemed very late on reading out everything that happened, be it substitutions or added time

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

She had more enthusiasm than our players. Keep her, I say.

Did she do anything wrong? If not, why the hell does it matter?

Tone too high pitched
Sub announced too late
Additional time announced one minute after board went up

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Needs to be a 'fence' option for me. If forced then 'no', but its probably something that just needs time.......

Looking objectively she didn't make any errors and was equal to Reynolds

 

[Guinness Boy]

Like this was the issue today....

Yes, she was on the train over with Richie Reynolds and Levo. She works in a gallery - no idea why that makes her announcer material - and as I said on the other thread, Reynolds reckoned having a female announcer could be a first for the Albion.

As for some of the other questions, she was probably too old / classy for many on here and no, they weren't that big!

What's the question?

Did we like her?
Did we care?
Do we want her to stay?
Did she do a good job?
Did it bother you?
Do you think it's box ticking employment?
Was it one, or just a feminine voiced man?

At half time I thought the usual announcer had been at the helium then realised it was probably 'Dickie Mint' of Diddymen fame...............

 

[JOLovegrove]

I know for a lot of people, it's just "banter" when talking about her chest size, but it does make disgusting reading. Really helping football fans live up to the caveman stereotype.

If we had a new male announcer, it wouldn't even get a thread, so why make one specifically looking at her gender?

 

[pwlr1966]

NOOOOOOOOOOO was like listening to cbeebs, thought the announcements in general were very low volume, couldn't here half the interviews

We have had plenty of threads about Richie Reynolds and when Paul Samrah and Attila used to do it there were many threads about them too.

I started this poll following the original thread to properly gauge peoples opinion as I was interested. It would appear 75% were not keen.

 

[Diego Napier]

Kind of sad that someone feels the need to start a thread like this. HB&B yes, a grown up no.

I've always regarded the OP as the most juvenile mod....

 

[Acker79]

Who was she replacing?

 

[wellquickwoody]

I don't care if the announcer is male, female or Martian. Whatever the case today, I couldn't hear a thing that was said.

Absolute bollocks. Total bollocks. Total misogynistic bollocks. How many threads were titled : that MALE presenter Samrah/Reynolds/Attila? Let me tell you - none. If it were another male presenter then this thread wouldn't even exist. As Merry Prankster said: expected better from you, Giraffe. Get your head out of the 1950s.
