    So I’m trying to watch the buildup to the Ryder Cup on SS…..who do we have to entertain us?! Laura “Mrs Doubtfire” Davies…..some wan called Henni who’s clearly reading off an autocue and then there’s the presenter who looks like she was dragged out of a wedding reception to host the thing, she then enlightened us telling us that Ireland was a continent<doh>

    Wtf is going on with men’s sport now? It’s ****ing painful and unenjoyable to watch.

    I have absolutely no issues with female sports presenters. ef6ee9c51487949c6009434394976fcd.jpg

    Women have infiltrated sports and they're as boring as the men

    If they'd brought with them something different I could've rolled with it, but they talk absolute ****e too.

    So wouldn't you rather have a woman talking ****e about sport than a man? One of the good things about being married is the ability to just ignore completely when a woman talks ****e. It saves having to turn the mute button on.

    I don’t disagree - but I’d like two things…

    1) can the women commentators with the higher pitched voices please bring it down a couple of notches
    2) can the gals with the mockney accents just stop it - innit

    They're as boring as men?

    In general, I find they're far worse. Ie about 15 years ago we were first introduced to female commentators, in the form of Jacqui Oatley doing her high pitched squeak through the odd match on MOTD. It was horrific and only seemed to be there for gender equality.

    Now that the profile of women's football has risen (despite it still being ****e and unwatchable), half time analysis now invariably has the token female pundit. Some of these like Alex Scott are okay, but on the other end of the spectrum we have the unbearable Emma "I'm rougher than a badgers arse, wanna fight about it?" Hayes.

    Watching women’s football should be used as a technique in Guantanamo Bay
