good on yer, Souey
Off point here but what is awkward turtles?
Would appear some are offended
No it isn't. Positive discrimination is discrimination and it doesn't fix anything. It is a sticking plaster, and doesn't address the root cause.I'm broadly in agreement but until we are no longer institutionally racist positive discrimination is needed.
Awful wording from the BBC that putting words into his mouth.The BBC creating drama, he didn’t call football a man’s game.
That reminds me of Albert picking on Juninho, except Souness even has someone holding him back.
Err meWho has said women shouldn’t be involved with mens football?
The BBC would probably have binned him already.Awful wording from the BBC that putting words into his mouth.
Chris Kamara and Don Goodman didn't play many top flight games if any. But its a spurious argument anyway. How many failed managers comment on managemennt on tv these days. Just because you werent an exponent doesnt bar you from passing judgement in a TV role.
100%. I don't agree with the idea that only players that have played at the top level should be pundits but that is clearly the system that Sky operate. The premise of the pundit is that they are an expert because they understand and can relate what is happening to their own experience. The women clearly don't have that experience. They have mostly played a very low standard in front of no fans. Tactics in the women's game are very different to the men's as well.Don Goodman doesn't sit in the studio during Super Sunday on premier league games.
Anyway, you are missing my point - I'm not saying you should have played in the premier league, I'm saying that sky clearly do.
Sky clearly only let male pundits who have played in the top tier in the studio on super Sunday. They would never have some bloke who has only played league 1 as a pundit next to Souness.
It's undoubtedly tokenism from Sky.
My perfect punditry team would be Michael Ricketts and Mohammed Shawky. Been there, done it and got the T-shirt.Well I suppose the idea of an expert pundit is that they’ve been there and done it. Off the top of my head, they did have Eddie Howe and Roberto Martinez on a few times, who I don’t think played top level football
But, It’s hardly unique to sky… match of the day has been like that as far back as I can remember…. Trevor Brooking, Alan Hansen etc
