BBC tees post match

I don’t think that’s right at all, local BBC radio and local news have always had a fan representative on, I know Rob appeared for years so it’s not exactly out of the question for someone to appear because of their links with podcasts, fanzines, forums etc. I highly doubt anyone is picked because of their gender

An how much of that fan representation has been white males?
 
She should join them for her own show on a weeknight in the sports hour. But agree its abit wrong she's on every post match give other fans a chance to express their opinion
 
I can appreciate why we have to have equality because any form of discrimination is wrong. That said it can often lead to tipping the scales from one side to the other with no balance. Personally, I find her very refreshing and with a degree of knowledge worth listening to. And far better than many of the men who ring in. I also prefer listening to her than Neil Maddison tbh. I find she has a broad depth of knowledge. She can analyse the teams formations, tactics, and outcome of games with ease.

In the media there was the complaint that ethnic minorities were under represented. So, taking that criticism on board we now have a situation where the vast majority of adverts include black people with a noticeably more reduced inclusion of whites. It has gone from one extreme to another, rather than sensitively and fairly many now say.

Has this rectified the problem? I think not because recent surveys have shown that the majority of people from ethnic backgrounds STILL feel they are under represented!

I think the great Martin Luther King once said 'I wish we could judge a person by the content of their hearts rather than the colour of their skin' and stop focusing on gender or race once and for all. The world has become a ticky box, tokenistic society that satisfies very few but seems to anger many. On all sides.

Probably quite a lot? Not sure why it matters either way? I doubt anyone is picked for anything other than their football knowledge

Are you a white male?

If so, that’s why you’re not sure why it matters. Traditionally, representation in football on the media has been purely white males. It’s important other races/genders are represented.

I agree, but I don’t for a second believe that’s why anyone is picked to be on BBC radio

Then I owe you an apology. I thought you were saying the exact opposite!
 
I also think she has a lovely feminine voice. Call me sexist for saying that I don't care. I believe in giving compliments where compliments are deserved. This isn't 'Toxic masculinity' talking, it is a man from Teesside who sees nothing wrong in complimenting and expressing views that are not meant to cause offence.

I will always open the door for a lady, always walk on the outside of the path nearer to the road with a lady too. Again the modern 'thinkers' may perceive this as sexist. I give not a fig. I am old school. This is how I was brought up and I am too old to change now. Not that I want to.

I once saw a female struggling to carry boxes up a flight of stairs at work. I offered to carry some of them for her to be told 'Are you implying that because I am woman I am weaker than you, and can't carry them myself?

'No. I am only trying to be helpful' was my reply. I walked away and left her to it.

When will this madness end?

Very much smacks of a woke sentiment having her cast her opinion at the end of the game, she could at least have something honest and fresh to say if she is an outisider from the club however she just comes across as another mfc sycophant on the airwaves “well we’ve lost yet again but we will go again against hull on Tuesday, up the boro, onwards and upwards etc etc”

What does woke mean to you?

Who isn't fed up of callers ringing up but the presenters have to tease a few words out of them.

Dana is extremely knowledgeable and more importantly for a radio a good speaker.

But she talks and talks and says nothing of any substance !!!!!!
She’s fell into the’safe’ space where she’s frightened to say what she really wants to say to stay on the airwaves
She’s rubbish
 
I really don’t get what some of you have against her - apart from jealousy! She speaks eloquently, with knowledge and can string a sentence together far better than a lot of the callers.

Like it or not, there are women whose knowledge is as great - if not better than a lot of men!

Leave the lass alone.
