It's really time for Ole to earn his salt now.

I actually thought it was good that the BBC had included someone who perhaps wasn't lucky enough to have had the best education or maybe didn't have parents that were able to help her educationally like many others do.
She was honest and was working alongside two specialist BBC sports commentators.
Not everyone receives the education they may deserve in their early years.

Well done to her for accepting the challenge and well done to the BBC for giving her a chance.

A better description would be 'lowering of standards'. Or if you prefer it more in the vernacular, dumbing down, innit.

But she did have two specialists alongside her.
She was able to comment on the game as an experienced former international player.

Your criteria would probably have denied Ian Wright becoming the relaxed, insightful pundit that he is now.
It's too easy to just stick with the polished educated gems.

Let's have a mixture of personalities, backgrounds and educations.
We don't need Emily Maitlis alongside John Murray.

An experienced former international player but at a completely different level. Ian Wright played the same game he commentates on.

Ian Wright has improved as a pundit. When he first started out my son (ex producer Jonathan from The Guardian Podcast) used to have to write it all down for him as he knew very little about the modern players.
 
















I got mobbed last week for merely mentioning that our safety margin had gone from 11 to 7 points and that probably wasn’t great. I daren’t mention what it is now, good lord. Arguable who really is doing the bedwetting here
