Watching it in real time I cringed. The host did make a point, but several times Evra either gave a patronizing clap or said 'wow' - it came across as ridiculously condescending.

And anyone who uses the word 'snowflake' in a context that isn't about frozen water would want to have a word with themselves.

This has nothing got to do with Aluko/Evra, but it's becoming extremely annoying that TV stations feel they're at liberty to have at least one woman on the panel or co-commentating.

BT sport have a few ex England female internationals on the show at weekends and all are useless, even today on RTE Louise Quinn offered absolutely nothing, bored to tears listening to her.

Siobhan Madigan who "commentates" on Soccer Republic is so bad that I've to mute the volume. You can throw in the girl (name escapes me) who does punditry every now and again in there too, she's horrific and offers nothing.

RTE sport had Cora Staunton co-commentating on the Roscommon vs Galway game yesterday and she made numerous mistakes throughout the 70 minutes and offered no spark or anything exciting during the game. 

I know there are plenty of male pundits/commentators that are fairly sh*te too, but I'm sick of this need in modern society to fill up certain quotas for the sake of it.

I think the biggest problem is that the whole thing has been made massively complicated in the name of style over substance. Referees, four-strong panels and inane questions mean we get very little tactical insight or well researched responses, (which, in fairness, could be why people were surprised at Aluko's response, it was highly unusual for this World Cup!) and end up with lots of 'bantz' and bad jokes.
I have said it many times, but I don't understand why the bigger names are automatically seen as ideal pundits, I would argue as to why they would have to be former players at all. I would much rather listen to Honigstein, Auclair, Wilson or Marcotti than Rio or Wrighty.

Perhaps something for the unpopular opinion thread, but I actually like Ian Wright.
 
There's something about Ruud Gullit that I find incredible irritating though
