Clive Tildassle He believes that there would be a “biological progress” of the attitude of football fans towards women presenter, commentators and pundits and eventually they would be purely on their ability.
Tyldesley, who was senior commentator of ITV from 1998 to 2020, feels that there are many examples of women within sports broadcasting, such as Gabi LoganHazel Irwin and Robin Cowen, who have already completed their sex, have stopped having an idea.
East Manchester City Midfielder Joy Barton It is very important for women to be part of men’s football, being part of Panditri and commentary line-ups, but Tialdsley is confident that the approaches are shifting.
He said, “Football moves at its own pace and I think the football fans treat any kind of progress with any kind of suspicion,” he told the PA news agency.
“So the more female voices we hear around football, the more accustomed we will become for them.
“No one thinks of Gabby Logan or Hazel Irwin as women broadcasters, they think them as excellent broadcasters. And I think it’s almost an organic progress where people start overriding any other ideas familiar with the excellence of performance of people that you can have.
“When you listen to someone as competent and as Robin is considered as Cowen, I refer to anyone to argue that he is not one of the best 10 commentators working on television.
“I see him from his content, from his rhythm, his insight, with the accuracy of his work, his vocabulary, and I do not see his qualities, which I probably in my estimate in the majority of male commentators. But it’s not because it is a woman, because he is a good commentator.
“I think systematically, the more we get accustomed to seeing and listening to female voices and face around football, the more accepting we will become and then we will start our opinion whether they are good, bad or indifferent.”
Tyldesley and former England striker Darren Bent visited Bushi and Oxy FC in summer to promote a match between the Football Association on 15–16 November to promote the silent support weekend of the Football Association and provide a comment on a match between Garston Ladies FC.
At the end of that week, the parents are asked to shout and avoid shouting and young players are banned themselves to ban themselves to clap on the pitch and clap in an attempt to make their decisions.
Like commentators, Tyldesley believes that in the ground level football, parents need to think what they say and when they say.
“If there is a lesson to learn from the commentators, it is that my great patron, the late Reg Gatridge, used to say – count every word,” he said.
“And a part of it is not saying anything from time to time. Reg was very early to remind me that this time is not resting, thinking that time is thinking.
“There is a lesson, I think, for parents and for junior football viewers. The words that you spontaneously shout, encouraging most of the time probably out of despair.
“They are not only landing on the young ears, they are landing on the ears of the referee, often at the age of only 14 or 15 years, and they are landing on the ears of coaches who have been investing for a long time trying to promote the right kind of culture around their teams.
“Think, as a commentator has done, what words at the tip of your tongue are suitable and if they have the effect you want you want them.”
