Was Joey Barton Correct When He Said Woman Should Not Discuss Mens Sport - 6 Like(s)
Joey Barton was spot on in my opinion, of course he'll likely be cancelled now and probably be flogged in public as well.
Most women I know have no interest in football, they have even less interest in women's football.
If you have kids or family members playing ladies football then ok they'll be involved when it's their own family playing, apart from that no, they have women presenters and pundits on just to satisfy the woke crowd.

Its a strong statement but no one better than Mr Barton to raise an issue that should possibly remain silent.
It is noted that a lot the Oral news outlets use Ladies on the broadcast panel , I suppose its to extend the hand of friendship.
Then again a lot of the Lady presenters are quite knowledgeable in relation to some sports" and tom appears from his mother basement once again!
Why bring up barton when on multiple past posts you complain about lads following and watching English sports?
I really home you had a bad motorbike accident as a kid or something otherwise your dribble is just plain inexcusable tripe"]That last paragraph is more ignorant and insensitive than anything Barton said, regardless of who it was aimed at.

I think you'll find the vast majority of people will agree with him but will be afraid to say it in case they get cancelled. As he said himself, not one man professional soccer player has called him out as being wrong.
It's not sexist to say that men's soccer and women's soccer are two completely different games so both genders should just stick to analysing their own is it? If that's considered sexist then we are in trouble. Surely it should just be an all female panel for women's soccer and an all male panel for men's soccer? GAA panels should be no different.

Replying To oneoff: "But like I said Kerry clubs have won less Intermediate All-Irelands since it went to 8 senior clubs. So again Where's the advantage you keep talking about?
Senior clubs have their own championship though. Strand Road won Munster by winning it last year and Dingle are in the final this year. What's unfair with that?
In last years final there was two players from Rathmore playing with East Kerry so not exactly the "pick" as you say." Clearly if a strong County like Kerry with many clubs has only 8 senior clubs then their intermediate champions have an advantage going forward, if they fail to make that advantage pay that's their problem but does not mean they don't have an advantage to start with.

I'm no fan of Barton, but he raised a valid point. He just put it across appallingly, which is no surprise really....

He's completely wrong.
Plenty of women have a strong interest in sport.
Plenty of the existing players being booked to these shows are uninformed or un-engaging.
Live sports coverage increasingly accounts for the non-streaming content that is being produced by media outlets and is being engaged by the general public and has the largest budgets. You'd be limiting the number of meaningful broadcasting roles available to women to a ridiculous degree.
Joey Barton should almost never be listened to. Wait until someone with half a brain brings this up as a real issue before debating it.

I haven't listened to the interview because I choose not to listen to him speak as he's a very unpleasant individual but have seen the headlines and from my own perspective I find it ridiculous that women pundits are on most of the panels for men's football now. I'm sure they are a lot more knowledgeable than I am regarding tactics and so on but it's not something I'm a fan of.
Kevin Keegan said the same thing a few weeks back and I'm sure there's lots for and lots against. It won't change now regardless.

Joey Barton's argument is nonsense; what would be wrong with men talking about women's knitting? It's just knitting. Stupid, stupid statement from the first word to the last (based on Tom Smith's telling of it).

Replying To Fionn: "I see the CCC of Dublin CB have awarded the Senior Football Div 1 League title to Boden.
Cannot understand how Crokes couldnt field some sort of team, even if they wanted to rest their star players....
But anyway, all done and dusted now.
If you refuse to play - the opponent gets awarded the victory.
Congrats Boden." I heard Boden wouldn't move the game, and they didn't have to to be fair. but very close to the Leinster final too

Replying To bad.monkey: "Shambles of a league run by Dublin GAA - it started in February ffs...still going in December. Most of the matches in past two months were conceded or walkovers. Fair play to Crokes, hopefully this will get the county board to sort it out" Fair play to Crokes? How many adult teams do they have? No serious game for another month. Could easily have played it and used their squad. It's embarrassing.

I'd agree with him - when a woman says an elite male player has done something wrong I'd always think to myself as if you could do better? When Ian Wright says a player should hit the target, you go fair enough sure he knows what he's talking about.. but I Jill something or another saying it is like the fat lad in the pub saying it… it's meaningless?
