Don't worry Fordy, you'll never convince him. Over a third of the footballers in the PL and Championship are black, but if TV companies try to even up the presenter representation it's because they're 'woke', apparently.

 

I'm okay with equality of opportunity as long as it doesn't appear to be tokenism. Women pundits on men's game is a problem for some people I know (men and women), I'm still undecided at the moment.
It's happened in cricket with Isa Guha (rather an fortunate name for a woman) and Ebony Rainford-Brent. It helps that they both appear quite knowledgeable and talk sense. Plus I find them both quite easy on the eye. I have tried to be diplomatic with that comment Fordy but am I being borderline sexist?

 

I used to watch it and enjoyed all 4 of the panel and Jeff. I stopped because I was either going to more away games or watching them on iFollow which isn’t difficult even if you are in this country. I’m sure many up and down the country are the same, which watch pundits talking about other clubs when you can watch every game of your team now. I also think it’s a bit old hat now watching the scores come in, you can go out and just check on your smart phone for score updates. I don’t think mixing it up will change the ratings much if at all.

 

Exactly if it’s your own team you’d be focused on them not the scores. Ifollow will have taken a decent number of fans up and down the country away from watching Gillette soccer most people can find a way to watch their team now even if it’s a 3pm kickoff on Saturday.

 

Apparently the audience for it has been going down steadily over last few years, if they don’t turn it around it might not see out the season.

one last role of the dice by the current production team

 

Yes agreed in full there. It's borderline patronising and quite insincere how blatant they are box ticking. I noticed a lesbian couple snogging on a Renault advert other day, now down at the pub I'd say with the lads thats great, but not sure if I'd want my kids seeing it.

 

Sad times, black people only make up 3% of the population. BLM has a lot to answer for, it's been a really vigorous bullying campaign. I read in the paper young people are now getting offended by a full stop, what chance has society got if someone is petrified by a dot!?

So what they're doing is pointless pandering basically.

 

The problem today is that if you take the piss out of someone although they may not be offended and actually find it funny, a third party may be offended on their behalf. That's life today I am afraid.
As newspaper columnist Richard Littlejohn would say: "You couldn't make it up"

 

You'll have to add Carragher to that list then,he's a total intelligible kangaroo

 

Now you know how we all feel when you *@?$-er-nees break out the rhyming slang!

 

Taking lessons in Yorkie mi'sen

 

if you're daft enough to believe full stops are offending people you'll believe anything

 

If you watch The city game on your iPad or laptop and you’ve got soccer Saturday on your tv, pause tour tv for around 2 minutes when the city game kicks off. That way with the delay you won’t know about the goal before it goes in on ifollow
