Female PA announcer

[Ninja Elephant]

Well, isn't it amazing what we find to moan about.

 

[Official Old Man]

In all the years I've been at the Amex hers was the only voice that I've understood. Come on then, what was that half time chat with the copper, cos I understood none of it. But she made a mistake and we all heard clearly what she said.
Still not right though, sorry.

 

[Rambo]

Think you will find she is Richie Reynolds Mrs, and yes she is fit.

A few things to consider guys. Firstly, it wasn't her first game, she has announced before. Secondly, she's not the first PA announcer to get a name wrong, but it appears for some it's a bigger deal because she's a women! Thirdly, she is one of the regular team who work on the stadium TV output and stood in for our regular announcer who was unavailable today.

For goodness sakes she was bloody dreadful.

Even the lady sat behind me said her voice was all wrong for announcing.

Margaret Thatcher hanged her voice because it was too shrill and screaming for public speaking. Quite simply a male voice is better for making announcements at football. Every time she spoke it was like being screamed at. Men don't go to football to listen to that.

And yes she ****ed up majorly with the sub announcement.

Also worth nothing that when she had a go last season or the season before the comments were exactly the same. Just don't let her have another go.

Nothing do with 'female', everything to do with being shite.

 

[Ferring Marine]

In the NW corner we sensed something was different, but wrong straight away. It was the tone of her voice which didn't work.
A sleepless night lies ahead.

Nobody complained last time.

Generally I agree with your points in this thread, but...

There was also a more overtly negative thread posted by Timmy.

She was the breakfast show DJ on Splash Fm a few years back

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I've no problems with her getting slated, she cocked up big time, it's these 'get back in the kitchen' type comments that I'm finding a bit depressing, that's all.

I agree. Even presuming they are supposed to be jokes, they are not particularly funny.

You mean you don't find them funny..

 

[Wrong-Direction]

This is a very sexist thread.


























Oh they can't park either.

...and as well as that I don't think she noticed that Brum brought on 2 subs at the same time, she was about 3 minutes late announcing the second of those two.

Not sure why the have to make announcements of subs and time added on when the information is :
1. Detailed on the big screen
2. The lineman has already held up his board.

How many times to we need the same information.

What get's me is the timing of the announcements.
We were under pressure just on half time and Birmingham put over a cross into our box.
Just as the ball was about to reach the players in the box she suddenly turns the mic on and screams "5 mins added"...
At least wait for the ball to be out of play or is in a neutral area of play.

Blind people?

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

i didn't enjoy her performance one bit.

And your thoughts on the female announcer?

 

[TSB]

The 1970's called; they want their thread back.

 

[227 BHA]

Her name is Anna Bingham . She sat with us at the player awards . She is thoroughly nice and a good presenter / announcer.

And a professional . Have some respect for gawd sake . She made one mistake

Agree that some of the comments are harsh but it wasn't just one mistake- at one point when brum made a double substitution there was no announcement until about 30 seconds after they'd run into the pitch. We were all looking at each other asking if there was going to be any sort of announcement of their names or not?

 

[gripper stebson]

It's MC correctness gone mad.

 

[Acker79]

Timmy is right, she should be respected, and we shouldn't have threads like this: https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showt...ugh-Who-hired-the-irritating-female-announcer
