It is true. Can't say I've seen loads of blokes climbing over themselves to heap praise on Chris Sutton or Danny Murphy before when they have been on analysis. Pretty sure if you asked Alex Scott she'd want to be treated no differently to anyone else who gives their opinion on football which you are Genome. VERY patronising.

Is it possible to praise anyone female in a male-dominated industry without being accused of white-knighting? No wonder this whole thing is a problem. I was just giving praise where I thought praise was due, I would've said the same if it was a new male pundit up against Carra and Souness.

Sounds like the issue here lies with yourself and not me, OMA.

Jadon Sancho "will learn from playing with better players like Rooney" according to Jamie Redknapp on Sky before the England-USA game.

Yeah, because he doesn't play with any decent players when he plays for Borussia oxf*rd Dortmund does he, Jamie?

The whole Rooney thing is a p1ss-take, good intentions? Yes of course, but in reality, we might as well include Pudsey Bear into the matchday squad.

Rooney wouldn't get into the matchday squad at Dortmund.

When Kagawa went to Man Utd some moron pundit said he’d have to get used to playing in front of a big crowd.

The Squad - 5 Live.

A group of educationally sub normal men talk over each other about Manchester Utd and Arsenal.

6 Premier League/WSL titles, 10 domestic cup competitions, the Champions League and 140 caps for England, but Kes doesn't think Alex Scott knows enough about football to be a pundit. Shock.

Genuine question.
Are there any male pundits/commentators for netball and women's cricket?

For netball, I don't think so, but then let's not be silly enough to suggest equivalence between women's football and men's netball.

On women's cricket - yes. Certainly Sky's coverage of the women's game generally uses the exact same commentary and pundit-ing team. Nick Knight and Rob Key normally front the coverage, and indeed it's Key who hosted the recent 'masterclass' on Sky Sports Cricket with Tammy Beaumont and Anya Shrubsole.

Yes, you will get some of the men's commentators/pundits covering England Women in cricket.

Netball is a bit different, seeing as far as I am aware, there isn't and England men's team.

Edit - as per the comment above. Key is the one of the main ones who does both. His daughter plays for the Kent academy if memory serves me correctly.

So for cricket it is the reserve team rather than the first team of Nasser, Gower, Athers and Botham but for Premier League football Alex is alongside top ex-managers and players.

It takes a bit of getting used to and I have no objection in principle and Alex is as good as or better than some of the old inarticulate pros who may have played at the top level but don't really understand the game.

Yet you seem to object, by highlighting that supposed 'level' of the pundits provided to women's cricket vs. Scott's appearance at the World Cup or on Premier League coverage. For what it's worth, both Hussian and Athers have covered women's cricket on Sky too. Gower and Botham only generally appear for home Test series.
