Token female tv presenters on sports programmes. Started by the bbc with MOTD, followed by the rugby on rte and then seeping into gaa coverage of both hurling and football. Pc brigade gone mad to fill a quota.

Women rugby commentators! WTF you don't hear Matt Dawson talking or commentating on women's rugby or Shefflin talking on Camogie. It not even close to being PC, it's daft
::)
Your comments are exactly why this has to happen. I pity your wives/sisters/daughters if this is your attitude towards efforts to get women on an even keel. That you think women have nothing worthwhile to contribute to sports discussions is really sad. Does that translate into wanting to make the GAA Discussion Board all male too?

My point is simple, I haven't seen a ex hurler discussing camogie games or a ex footballer commenting on ladies football. I don't mind Alex Scott though, played at highest level and well tuned in.
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

The women are there purely due to their gender, BBC for example has well known quotas. GAA on RTE is becoming ridiculous with pundits there purely for quota reasons, pundits that have never played the game they are analysing. Oh and we won't mention the female Sky Sports presenters that are there for their journalistic capabilities, nothing to do with the tits hanging out and being easy on the eye..........
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

Some sweeping statement there and over the top PC shite, because someone thinks someone who played a sport, at the level and intensity of that being shown, is in a better and more qualified position to commentate on it or analyse it that someone who hasn't.

Murray Walker never drove in Formula 1.

Phil Liggett was never a professional cyclist.

Don't watch 200mph traffic jams or the most corrupt sport on earth, your point?

You don't have to have driven a formula one car to see who is winning and say things like there goes said driver?

That there are people who still think Boris Johnson is a loveable rogue and not the dangerous narcissistic fool he is.
