    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.

    Was it really that much on it's arse!? Can't see it being a final roll of the dice. I just think they're wanting to box tick. They got rid of Scott Minto today aswell, another white man.

    currently if they get rid of anyone it is likely to be a white man as that is what a majority of them are

    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!?

    non-white make up about 15% of the population. So if there are 7 people on a show 6 would be white if going to balance population.

    So what they're doing is pointless pandering basically.

    Why does it need to be balanced though? That's what gets me.

    I couldn't care less if it was 7 green aliens doing the show, as long as its entertaining that's the first and only concern for me.

    The world is going to s*** and I genuinely feel sorry for my kids and (hopefully) grandkids. Too many entitled and offended types are shouting the loudest and prioritising things that 90% of folk genuinely couldn't care less about.

    Spot on.

    It's should be who is best for the job. It's like when the BBC decided to have a token woman on every comedy panel show. It's bollocks, if you're funny enough to get on the show you'll get on the show.

    The thing about Soccer Saturday that I liked was that the pundits all got on and knew each other well enough to take the piss out of one another. Micah Richard's was on MOTD earlier this year and appeared to have some sort of personality so I think he'd fit in ok. Alex Scott has zero personality though so that's a no from me.

    What are they doing?

    So far they have reduced their spend per episode, maybe that is the whole point? The rest is speculation.

    Haven’t watched soccer Saturday for years, it’s shite, always has been, probably still is, and probably always will be, with or without the brilliant Micah Richards...It epitomises all what shit about modern football, the cheeky Nando’s, Facebook ‘bantz’, ‘big club’ replica shirt wearing, Tim Lovejoy types, who hang on every word the brain dead panelist’s say...It’s not for me.

    About time that boys club was taken down and new fresh current people to be brought in. Hopefully Merson goes as well. It's a tired old show and well done to Sky for shaking things up.

    True and I think they have MILF covered as well. A whole range to suit a broad audience.

    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.
