I have no real problem with women commentating as long as it is balanced and insightful, and to be honest the **** that a lot of what these so called experts spout makes me cringe, I think Andy Townsend is probably the worst male one with his "Yeah that's a free kick anywhere else on the pitch but I don't think its enough for a penalty" crap or Leeanne Sanderson with her I will just repeat and repeat and repeat what I said 30 seconds ago and throw a few Christiano Ronaldo's in then repeat again commentary are my 2 least favourite at the moment. It also gets on my wick when they over sensationalise things to make it sound more exciting than it is. I understand that men's and women's football is different and should be judged on different merits but some of the crap you hear is just trying to get people to find it interesting on Sky because they do not get as many games now so are pushing us to watch women's football which if I am honest is no where near as entertaining for me but I understand that there is an audience out there for it,.
I think what I am trying to say is let the sport stand on its merits and don't over egg it. Sky have been doing this for 2 or 3 years now since the Yanks bought it which is one of the reasons I cancelled my subscription, they have been shoving American football (where they predominantly throw the ball with little use of the foot) down our throats along with Baseball (****ing world series there is only them, Canada and a couple of others play this game of rounders with a bigger bat) and Basketball (Netball with a backboard).
