Jambo-Jimbo Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Maybe she's contracted to present a certain number of shows. Pretty sure that was the same with Philip Schofield when folks were moaning about the number of shows he was on, until it turned out, that it was in his contract that he had to present x number of different shows. Besides, what difference does it make to anybody whether Alex Scott or anybody else for that matter is on umpteen different shows......jealously or is it something else.

Maroon Sailor Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 9 minutes ago, jonnothejambo said: I went off her a bit during the Olympics. I thought her and Balding were a right pair of pains in the arse. Hazel Irvine is light years ahead of them. Jermaine Jenus is another arse. I went right off him at the Euros although Danny Murphy is worse. Both Scott and Jenus also appear regularly on The One Show. How many feckin jobs do they need and without being controversial they are basically on these programs not for their talent, but to fit a certain criteria. I do like Micah Richards as he seems so natural, unlike Scott and Jenus. Mind you they are all better than the BBC Scotland lot with the exceptions being Tom English and Leanne Crichton. They are both very good. I would add Michael Stewart but he is not on the BBC these days.... Stewart was on Sportscene recently. Maybe the weekend of the Dundee Utd match Danny Mr Obvious Murphy is the worse pundit out there now bar none. Best for me are Hazel and Eilidh Barbour How Hazel hasn't been recognised for services to broadcasting is a mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) I suspect she's already in line for the MotD gig after Lineker retires or is lured away by Sky. Caught a bit of her new quiz show and the banter is excruciating. She is stilted and awkward and the contestants have clearly been told to adopt a fake attrition between themselves. Not unlike the farcical pantomime of the boxers weigh in/pre fight press conference. She ticks all the PC boxes so will no doubt go far. Regardless of whether she should or not.

Horatio Caine Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Have to be amused at the fickleness of JKB. Not so long ago Alex Scott was the darling of this board, with some posters apparently running out of kleenex. Now she's on TV too much and is shite anyway.

Professional in name only, it's very poor but strangely watchable IMO. The goalies are great fun. I think she's very likeable. But not a great pundit. I don't think there is any seethe either. So let me get this straight, you’re saying you’re a much better footballer than Alex Scott was and she wouldn’t get near any of the non-league teams you played in?

SectionDJambo Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Sue Smith on Sky Sports is the woman reporter who irritates me. I don’t have a problem with Alex Scott. She is appearing on a few different programmes, though, which is liable to have viewers getting fed up seeing her. I’ve never liked Schofield. Thinks he’s some kind of trailblazer in interviewing whereas he’s just a daytime magazine show presenter. Obviously really full of himself. There’s rumours he’s in line to take over The Chase from Bradley Walsh. It will be the death of it if that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinga the Swinga Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Does Football Focus and an afternoon quiz. Sometimes does women's football and helped host one 3 hour show last night. Pretty sure there are loads of presenters who do more. She's good at job and seems popular with lots of viewers. As for poster who slagged off Claire Balding, that's even worse. She is best sports presenter on UK TV, inclusive of men and women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making a comparison with Lineker is interesting. I remember when Lineker was new in media. The BBC had decided he would be their guy; got him elocution lessons and drilled and drilled him. His first few years were pretty painful. Some might remember him on Radio 5Live (it might have just been Radio 5 back then). It was like listening to tracle pouring out of a tin. I saw him recording the pilot for They Think It's All Over; the production team were working around him (& to a lesser extent, Gower) so that, although his name was a draw, it was only viable because of Nick Hancock, Rory McGrath and Lee Hurst. Lineker was wooden. However, I recently saw a bit of Lineker on his musical chairs quiz show and was impressed that he's a very smooth & confident presenter. Perhaps, with time, Alex Scott will be less grating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
