Not sure about BT Sport in early 2021, but, if anyone's interested, these were the targets from the BBC's Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2016-2020.
- 50% women on screen, on-air and in lead roles across all genres from Drama to News by 2020
- 8% disabled people, on screen and on-air including some lead roles by 2020
- 8% LGBT on screen portrayal including some lead roles by 2020

Yes, good - that should improve the punditry all round then.

The only thing I ever ask for is competence.
Exactly, wonder if any of them know the offside rule? If they do they could come on here and explain it to those ignorant souls that frequent this board.

They missed a trick there, could've combined a football show with cooking punditry.
I didn`t see it tonight but everytime i have seen it it goes something like a game i saw at the end of last year .
Watching a woman try to tell two players how Liverpool got it wrong when Graeme Souness is one of the panel members and a current player who plays against these same players week in week out is ridiculous . It would be like me telling a woman i know exactly how child birth feels .

I like Clare Balding and Gaby Logan. They seem to command more respect than the new wave of presenters. Has anyone seen Lawro lately?

A lot of truth there, it's amazing how many middle aged males have been indoctrinated/castrated and now fully support this 'positive'' discrimination quota driven bollox.

Call me a sexist dinosaur but I have to agree with the thread opener and portlock seagull.
Mind you the only pundit I listen to with interest is Warren Aspinall.

I don't really care who you are as long as you make sense. Karen Carney is AWFUL. But then so is MacManaman. Cashley Cole can barely complete a sentence.
Ebony Rainford-Brent makes more sense on C4 cricket than any of the Indian men. Is she a "quota"?

It’s ok, certain conversations in society are effectively banned now and if you put forward an alternative perspective then you’re immediately labelled as such. Let the name calling begin. Because you can’t strike a balance. It has to be polarised. 100% for. 100% against. Nothing in between is allowed remember!

If Alex Scott was on, I'm in.
Pity she wouldn't be with you or any other man for that matter.

So of all the televised matches this season, 1 of them will feature an all female panel?

Nobody is preventing you from speaking. On this thread it’s various posters calling themselves dinosaurs, that’s all.
No name calling here. I just don’t really care about the gender of football pundits. I like Alex Scott and Gary Neville.I don’t think much of Souness, Keown, and quite a few others. The fact that they have played the game at the highest level doesn’t make them any better at being pundits. It’s probably just down to personal taste.

I agree, but the way society is today you now have to be careful what you say, even for the smallest of things. I just try and laugh at this Bollox.

But you’re not the problem. Others feel the need to apologise for holding their view because by and large they get attacked by the zealots. Worse still, as with other ‘society issues’ people feel they can’t express or mention them. Watch and wait...you’ll see exactly what I mean in a mo
These days if you say you're a middle-aged male, you get arrested and thrown in jail.
