Eni Aluko

Football is football, while there's probably slightly more nuance about the dressing rooms respective to gender, I think once you're commenting about what's happening on the pitch anyone can have a voice. People don't moan about the majority of sports journalists that haven't played to any standard.

That said, Aluko is an idiot. Wright has done so much to progress the womens game that all he's done is create more opportunity within it.

Maybe she would have mentioned Scott if the interviewer had brought her up to Aluko, just like they did with Wright.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, her problem is specifically that she wants men to step back from being pundits in the women’s game - she was very clear.
Of course she doesn’t have a problem with female pundits in the men’s game but if Eni Aluko didn’t have double standards she’d have no standards at all. 😎

I’m fine, but if people are just going straight up lie, I’m going to pull them up on it. At least Blarmy kind of apologised for even remotely comparing me to that bellsniff. Red Russian is meeting me by the Left Lion in Market Square at 6pm

I waited an hour. Just got back. No sign of Robbing. Livid.

Disagree. After hounding Wrighty she'd be after Scott.

I’d encourage people to actually listen to the interview.

The fact the Daily Mail have gone to town on this, tells you all you need to know though, tbh.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I did and have done so a couple of times before passing judgement.

Firstly, I want to get it out there, I am not sure why Joey Barton, the thug, is being brought up. Anyone that supported him against her needs their head examining.

On this specific matter, she is starting to come across as someone with a victim mentality. I hate victim mentality with a passion. Whether what she was saying is taken out of context is besides the point; she knew exactly what she was getting at, and I am sure she is bright enough to know the ramifications. It is just absolutely poor to call out a bloke who is probably one of the biggest advocates for women in football.

He recently paid out of his own pocket for a woman football to get her ACL surgery. And believe you me that surgery is not cheap because I paid for it recently.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yup, she's bright. Yup, she's set up scholarships out her own pocket similar to Wright. Look at her background and career and she's quite the thrusting professional in whatever endeavour she is chasing at the time. That trait doesn't always go down well with people and it certainly doesn't make you good at something. It might suit academia, sport and business but fall down in front of the cameras.

She apologised, says Wrighty's name shouldnt have been brought up within the point she was trying to make

“But it was wrong for Ian's name to be raised in that conversation, and for that I sincerely apologise.”

Amazing that she’s apologised for that, considering it wasn’t even her who brought him up

He's the most obvious male pundit in the womens game, interviewer was right to bring him up

She clearly regrets not saying something like 'im not talking about Wrighty with regards to this' hence the apology

No doubt some on here will be telling Wrighty how he should feel about this, that he's wrong to be offended and how didn't mean it, despite willingly answering the question and using his name.
