And her name?

No idea.

If you'd have found out her name and looked her up, you might find she is actually an expert? I've heard a lot of male commentators spout a ton of clichés and be incredibly annoying!!

She hasn't played the men's game at top level.

When I'm watching MotoGP I want someone like Hodgy commentating. Someone I've followed 30 years.

Not some club racer.

Suzi Perry does the linchpin very well, but leaves the expert bits to Hodgy & co.

WTF. She may have won multiple world cups as a woman which makes her every bit an expert in football. Sarina Wiegman is the Englands womens manager, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarina_Wiegman won multiple trophies, managed the Netherlands and England in euros and world cups... is she not an expert then because she's not played as a man ?

Has she played the womens game at top level? I mean, they do play more football and less falling around pretending to be injured

I'm not sure any commentator is needed.

I've managed to watch football matches at the ground, been to GPs and other motorsports events without commentaries and it's been fine.

There's the odd gem of course, "the batman's Holding the bowler's Willey but Tommy Cooper did comedy so much better.

I've heard expert commentators talking absolute bollox. They don't have exclusive rights on accuracy, or any guarantee of it.

Let me interupt myself?

I told you. I wake up every day, right here, right in Punxsutawney, and it's always February 2nd, and there's nothing I can do about it.

I never have the volume up when watching football. I dont mind the pundits before the match male or female but during the game they are all annoying.

Just watching the footy and the expert is some lady I've never heard of.

If I'm watching any sport, I want to know and respect the expert's opinion to add to the enjoyment.
She might be very nice, but full of clichés and annoying

I'm all for lady presenters etc, but not the experts

So I've swapped to South African TV with English feed.

You really are quite the misogynist aren't you. I mean how dare they leave the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant that's what they should be.

Me too.I tend to turn the screen off as well which makes for an even better experience when the football is on...

There was nothing sexist at all, Ask a grown up to help you understand.

I'd be happy for Jenny Tinmouth to commentate on BSB as she's been there and got the t-shirt. Same with Marie Costello at the TT.

SCS.

My family are treating me to some new carpets as my BIL's mother recently passed and has left them with a hefty lump some of dosh.

Bought the carpets no problem at all but getting them fitted is turning out to be a nightmare.

I've have had 3 dates cancelled now which means i have used 3 days of leave up for nothing. Managed to speak to SCS's Operation Manager who didn't give a shit and blamed it on the lack of installers and the fact one had just left them which tbh i think is utter lies.

I have now been given a date of next monday when i am near on 150miles away from home so will have to take another days leave and hope they turn up.

If they don't, does anyone know where i should go to claim back compensation from them for wasting my 4 days of leave? If i was self employed i would of potentially lost out on £800 worth of business, i tried mentioning this to the operations manager who said it's not their policy to process any compensation claims!

I just want the fucking carpets fitted. Worst thing is that i stripped all the carpets up myself 2 weeks ago so i have been in my house for over 14 days now with no carpets!

Murray Walker and John Motson both had stellar careers in the sports they commentated

Its a fucking winner. Can you write an albums worth of silence? I can supply invisible headphones and we just get folk to bounce around the streets in some sort of uniform fashion while charging £15 a head (Y)

Maybe we could press it on invisible vinyl too, a silent album on invisible vinyl will be rare as fuck, we could charge £300 a press on launch...

I never did receive the invisible cake I ordered at the local Cafe, come to think of it.

That bit I've highlighted, ladies can present but can't be experts. OK, nothing sexist at there. No sirree.
