Dr Gloom 21912 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 looks like he could be about to be cancelled, not that i think he gives much of a shit as he's pretty much retreated from the public eye the past decade or so. but if you look past the headline, there isn't anything that offensive about what he's said - he's basically applauding female pundits and players, but argues that they can;t offer as much insight into the men's game because they haven't experienced what it's like to play the men's game, so aren't as well placed as the men to comment on how it feels to play for england etc in that environment. i mean, that is demonstrably true.

Aye. Its like getting a non-league player to comment on PL games. Sure, they can give insight but im sure its not the same as experiencing top level football.

Alex 35062 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Doesn’t feel like a cross worth dying on, mind. When you live in a world where Michael Owen, Rio Ferdinand and Paul Merson get loads of airtime I can’t say lasses talking about the lads game bothers me. The other thing is you should realise that even a fairly harmless comment about it will be blown out of all proportion and overtake any other points you were trying to make 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it’s more a problem having them on just because they’re female. And by that I mean some are really good, others offer very little. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5217 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Not personally going after Keegan for this one although I think he would have been better off stating that anyone who hasn't played professional men's football has no idea what goes into it. Either way I'm going to blind eye this because I'm biased as fuck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44805 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 He would have got away with it at a talk-in up here. You can't trust the people of Bristol not to run to the papers though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21912 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 keegan might have had more of a point if he wasn't such a terrible pundit himself. someone just tweeted some of his best gaffes, which included my personal favourite: "the tide is very much in our court' there are some absolutely terrible male pundits out there. rio ferdinand last night, a prime example. i've been impressed by most of the female pundits - emma hayes in particular is very astute in her analysis. broadcasters should forget about quotas and just get the good ones on -male or female - and get rid of those stealing a living. i'm looking at you, michael owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually seem to have studied the teams and have a basic understanding of what's going on in front of them. I'll take that over a pair of dimwits like Rio and Owen like. That said the lass that was commentating the women's world cup was fucking brain-dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35062 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 When Keegan talks about football he’s great imo. Co-commentary gaffes is a different kettle of fish. And he does have a few of them in his locker tbf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
