Watching the Melb/Geelong game on Ten , who is this Female Commentator ?? apart from having no ****en idea at all her voice is like nails on a chalkboard!!
I'm changing over to FoxSports1 and watch the Sydney/Carlton game.
And she's ****ting me with her random spurts of "and now they're in trouble, can they get it out of here?" and in the meantime the play has had 10 posessions and left the area...call the game lady!
Spot on!
Give her a chance guys, lets not be sexist, I mean I really doubt we could do a better job.
She must be well liked to have been in the media industry for 10 years.

Her voice isn't strong enough for starters!! You could hardly hear her over the roar of the crowd, there just wasn't enough depth in her voice!!
She was using more cliche's then any one i have ever heard.
She couldn't process what she wanted to say quick enough and was not keeping up with the game.
I've even spoke to some female footy fans today and on my facebook theres at least 5 chicks that had status' dissing her!!
If she's bad, which she was, she should be told how it is!!! Just because she's female is no excuse!! She's still a paid commentator, she's on the payroll and it's her job!!!
It really, really, really sh!t's me to tears that people want to give her a "break" just because she's female!!! It's a bunch of Bullsh!t!!!! If ya crap at your job then you should be told!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Arguing against you? The first line may have suggested that, but I was simply stating My Opinion which is one that is shared across both sexes.
I may have portrayed my opinion strongly, but that's because I believe in the fact, strongly, that she should not be treated any differently just because she is female!
So wheres the other threads on awful male commentators because theres plenty of those yet finally theres a female and because shes female shes copping ****. Even my mother rang me today and complained that there was a female commentating as she told me its a males sport. This is 2009 not 1960.

Exactly!! It is 2009, so why the hell should she get special treatment just because she's a female working in a male dominated industry/sport!?!?!? And there has been threads about bad commentators/umpires and other media personalities!!
She was shocking, her voice and here comments were some of the worst Ive heard in the 15 years I can remember watching footy. Why should she be excused of this? because she's female? Get the hell outta here! If she was good at her job she'd get praise, just like every other PERSON.
I'm all for a level playing field for every person, male and female, but she does not deserve special treatment because of her gender!!!!!
Was the thread needed? Maybe not. Was it relevant? Yes!! Channel 10 or 7 (can't even remember which channel it was on) did something out of the ordinary and put the spotlight on themselves and the person in question so of course it was going to cause debate/conversation/controversy or how ever else you want too see it!
