[Football] The other Dick Head at it again!

[AmexRuislip]

Leon Knight has launched an astonishing foul-mouthed tirade at female football pundits.

The 35-year-old, who has played for 15 different clubs, said “this equal rights b*** has to stop” and told women pundits they can “f*** right off”.

His ten-tweet rant appeared to be aimed at former Arsenal player Alex Scott as she appeared alongside Jamie Redknapp and Jamie Carragher for Sky Sports’ coverage of England versus Switzerland on Tuesday.

Well you don't expect anything different really

'I ain't sexist at all but....'

I'd like to know how much Alex Scott got paid for that night's work compared to Redknapp and Carragher.

On the one hand if they are doing the same job they should be on equal pay. On the other hand, if the value of Redknapp's contribution is deemed to be higher than Scott's then why are Sky foisting a reduced quality viewing product on me by having Scott rather than, say, Souness or Gary Neville?

 

[Ernest]

Anyone offers more insightful analysis than Redknapp, if I was paid less than him then I'd be insulted

 

[Whitechapel]

Leon Knight, he’s alright.

It is good to female pundits/presenters being introduced. What people forget is that most of the men, I remember Lineker being a good example, struggled when they started.

Can't even say Alex Scott is 'struggling'. She comes across as intelligent and knowing what she's on about. And her command of English is a damn sight better than 'Arry's offshoot'.

Many of them still struggle. There are far worse pundits than Alex Scott stealing a living giving their views on football on TV - Monotone droning Mr Cliche Owen and Red-rimmed specs McManaman for a start.

Presenters, Reporters and Pundits:
I respect the women the same as the men.

Commentators: I'm with Leon Knight.

....or Leon Knight's for that matter

Totally agree. McManaman is really clueless...

Female Match commentators NO , have to turn off the sound , which is a right pain when i'm listening to the radio ( from what iv'e heard already ) , in studio punditry YES , i actually prefer the ladies than the Screeching Scousers and Monotone Mancs

Saw the title and thought it was about Jeremy Corbyn!

Alex Scott is good. I think he needs to pick a better target and there are plenty of them.

 

[LlcoolJ]

Knight is a horrible little shit.

I can only presume that he's been turned down by numerous women because he's a ****, had a bad relationship with his mum and never dealt with it, is gay and has had to repress it his whole life or all of the above as he absolutely HATES women.

 

[Lurker]

Alex Scott is good to look at. I think he needs to pick a better target and there are plenty of them.

Edited for accuracy.

Lovely bit of eye candy, but she talks in cliches and platitudes.
Nothing insightful ever comes out of her mouth.

I listened to her for a few seconds after the Switzerland match and I couldn't take anymore so I switched channels to the BBC News which was just starting.
The first female to come on screen was Cressida Dick, followed within seconds by Diane Abbott, so I switched back to Alex Scott and muted the sound.
Worked a treat.

LK is damn right, Alex Scott or any other woman 'pundit' views have absolutely no validity whatsoever having never played the men's game and having only played to 'park' standard. It's an absolute insult to successful ex footballers who have played the game at the highest level such as Redknapp, Carragher, Souness to have her or any other female beside them on the panel as an equal. You may as well have me on the panel (ex park footballer).

As for 'arry' what a snob!!! Why mock someone's working class East end accent? Your type probably purport to hate middle class 'Tory scum' and yet mock someone because they have an accent reflective of where they were born? Incidently would you refer to Hope Powell as 'ope' as she was born in Lewisham so therefore doesn't speak with a clipped home counties accent?

What Diane Abbott that intelligent, articulate and high calibre MP whose senior position owes everything to her talent as an MP and nothing else. That woman of the people??

Is Mr Knight still in his flat in the dark wearing only his underpants and off his tits , while watching endless repeats of his goals from 10 (?) years ago?
