Not meaning to sound sexist but its just not right. She just doesnt seem to have the same effect. Just seems very strange/ Opinions?

Yeah, no offence to her but it just doesnt sound right does it.

Not the same affect, kinda ruins the match.

It's really strange but trying not to be sexist, im sure we'll all get used to it:D

It would sound strange at first because it's always been men doing footy commentary, nothing to do with sexism, just that people have gotten used to a certain way of doing things. That said, I'm sure a British woman would sound better than former US international Julie Foudy did on FIFA 2000 :wacko: Oh GOD was that ever horrible. Of course, FIFA 2000 was horrible, full stop.

They actually have a woman working hockey colour commentary over here in Canada for TSN - former Canadian women's team captain Cassie Campbell - and she actually does a decent job

She works in women's international matches and some NHL games.

ok boys, even to me (a woman) it sounds strange if a woman is commentator. but in the end it depends on her voice and the passion (the way she comments) .
i know some very stupid male commentators in germany, making you think: shut the f*** up, you stupid moron! so a woman, if she has a good knowledge about football, is much better than an idiotic male commentator!

this lady didn't have no passion though. There was a goal and she harly even said any thing

I think all this equality stuff gets taken too far, a woman comentator doesnt really work, not being sexist btw, it was like she was presenting the weather forecast, she was saying things like oh its a nice sunny day here in london and oh dear brown has just slipped over.

it was strange. i am not sure if she was a good comentator or not cos it just sounded odd.
tbh see wasnt all that bad, better then andy gray (thats not saying much).
i also hate all this equal s**t, for instants theres only 1 man were my mum works but no one says theyr sexest.
