[Football] Joey Barton

[Springal]

Man who hit his wife, has a poor view of women being in ‘his world’ - what a surprise

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I think you need to re-read my post about the difference between commentating and co-commentating, sir.

The last part sounds wonderful.

Have I been caught up in my own hubris again? Ah, well

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I agree with him…. But in these days it is unwise to say so if you are a celebrity, unless you want to be contentious and make a headline

Only a matter of time and we'll be thrown into jail for refusing to do the washing up.

These days, if you say you don't like women talking about football, you get arrested and thrown in jail.

Everyone is indeed entitled to their opinion.

Unless they're wrong

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

He's got a point with the social media influencer bollocks, and social media in general and all it attracts. However, the irony is that he is using a very similar platform to get across his moronic views.

Influencers are a bit of a red herring though; they’re not aimed at the market Barton is talking about and even if they were, it’s very easy to avoid them.

Does this mean the Lionesses who won the Euros are over qualified to commentate on men’s England games then?

 

[Justice]

I’m generally too focused on Albion games on the telly to even acknowledge what the commentators are saying. I didn’t have a scoby why Green was upsetting so many last night.
Lianne Sanderson is irritating on TS if she can go a game with out saying that goes against everything I was taught it will be a miracle.

If only he’d just wrote ‘Karen Carney’ instead of women - most would have agreed!

Fair point actually. Absolutely insufferable.

Give me Emma Hayes over ANY of the male pundits though. She actually analyses the game and makes, you know, observations about tactics. She is quite brilliant and adds to any match.

Carney is the dirt worst - but not because she is female - because she is f***ing dreadful.

 

[jcdenton08]

Got to be on the gear surely?

My first thought too. These are not the sane actions of a sober unemployed football manager with a hope of finding another job.

Joey Barton in tosser shock, would be the headline.

I prefer men talking about the men's game... call me old fashioned.

The key to find out what someone really thinks is if you gave the female a male voice. Would they notice ?

I don't think there is a single football commentator, manager, or referee I have an issue with. The odd disagreement here and there in isolation, but it would take a lot to send me to keyboard rage. I'm more than happy to see females in the game. They just ask the same silly questions in interviews that men do. 'How important is it to maintain your team's winning mentality ?' I'd love a manager to give a contrary answer one day.

I don't spend my life looking for reasons to be angry (except when they changed the number 18 route in Queen's Park)

Sounds like a new campaign for the woke crew

 

[brighton_dave]

Only commentator I can't quite tolerate is Dion Dublin. I just think homes under the hammer all the way through a game.
Come to think of it, perhaps there's an opportunity for Joey under the hammer. I'd be happy to pay an inflation busting BBC increase to see that.

* abbreviation is British broadcasting association BTW....

I like the Chelsea boss when she’s done some of The Premier League football a while back. She’s a top person she is. That’s as an analyst though. Commentary by woman can easily go screechy.

..... Brian Sewell was no painter, but his descriptions of art brought it to life in a way others couldn't match.....

And Sewell's dedication to his subject was also on a level others didn't match judging by his description of his encounter with Salvador Dali in the painter's garden

Jill Scott and Gary Neville swapped profiles a while ago as an experiment https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...nd-gary-neville-swapped-social-media-accounts
