Sue Barker to leave QOS

[fidelcastro]

Was there really any fuss 20 odd yrs ago when the always popular Barker replaced Coleman ? The BBC is so crippled with political correctness they were always going to replace the 3 with 1 x female /1 x black / 1 x white ( either sex ) Scott being a female black lesbian seems boxes are ticked already . She’s a bit lacking in charisma but seems to have progressed well so good for her .

Didn’t know she was a lesbian!

Lives with a former teammate.

I'll be honest, I didn't know she was a lesbian, as she didn't seem to mind when Bear Grylls gave her a bit of brutal rectal rehydration.

Lives with a former teammate.

Does she?

I suppose there's "lives with" and "shares a house with", but for whatever reason, I always assumed she was straight.

Whatever. None of our business.

Do keep up Frank rectal hydration is the new black, everyone’s into it

Large numbers of blokes assume female footballers are lesbians, so I'm surprised people thought otherwise.

Apparently it's acceptable to be in gay in female football but not in mans

I look at it this way:

How would you all feel if you were very good at your job but dumped on the scrap heap because of this diversity agenda?

[bobinho]

Wasn't there huge backlash from loads of old blokes when Sue Barker was appointed?

Some things never change it seems. Misogyny, racism, xenophobia.

Was there? I can’t remember it. Fair play to you for remembering that tho fella (if I may suggest you are indeed a fella and providing you do of course THINK you are a fella and want to be a fella although it’s none of my business or anyone else’s) Did I cover everything there? Good. Don’t think there’s anything in left there for you to be precious about.
Have a great weekend.

And God (add deity of your choice) forbid the wonderfully inclusive BBC advertise a job but stipulate only members of an ethnic minority need apply. ....

Im sure that’s fair tho somehow....

Alex Scott is dating a bloke off Corrie...........

I actually quite like her as a pundit......the one I can’t abide is the one who commentates on MOTD......her voice just does me in.

When Sue Barker took over from David Coleman idiots like you were saying the same thing about a woman getting a job

Refreshing a program after over a generation is hardly something to get your knickers in a twist but unfortunately a huge percent of our population have lost the ability to think critically and live on a spoon fed diet of the Murdoch and Barkley brothers press

[kentonclaret]

When they start wanting you to believe that Anne Boleyn was black that's the time to worry.

[Wile E Coyote]

just one moment accidentally catching a glimpse of "tuffers" (christ) and the rugby bore dawson, turns my stomach.
I suggested top gear as my worst tv show, but forgot this turgid mess.

as a pacisfist and a libertarian i would gladly shoot anyone that has appeared on a question of sport in the last 25 years and anyone affiliated with its production.

i would even include pets.

but still not as bad as on the buses. not even close.

I don't recall saying that to you or anyone for that matter. I thought Sue Barker was a pleasantly refreshing change. I much prefer to look at pretty totty.

It is you who is an idiot for tarring folk with the same brush for having an opinion.

A bit harsh on nick pope.

Do we know if Dawson is naturally just a nob or whether he's encouraged to overact and ham that way to make "good" television?

I take what folk say on here with a pinch of salt. Fabrication, exaggeration & disparaging comments are rife.

Colemanballs fully retired from broadcasting just three years after last hosting QOS.
