I don't tend to listen to the show on Sundays, but for the little I have caught I don't think it's that bad. I've not paid enough attention to her factual accuracy, but if we are going to judge her on that (and it's entirely fair that she is) then the same yardstick should be applied to other presenters/commentators/pundits and as we've seen they can be considerably lacking in what you'd expect to be their "specialist subject". In terms of diversity, and this isn't a dig at Lang Toon Saintee as they just mentioned it in their previous post, I'm all for it actually. Imagine the annoyance of Scots if all our presenters were replaced by English ones who had never played the game up here or even watched much of it on TV? People would go mental. To me, while not a direct analogy, is the same for blokes who have little involvement in Women's football commenting on the games. Now I appreciate there is more to Sportsound than just football, but you can see where I'm coming from. I could be wrong here, I often am.. , but isn't this her first main presenter gig she's had? If that is the case then it's only fair to see if she grows into the role. Most presenters do take time to find their rhythm. She has a stutter of some sort , I've noticed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
