Woman commentator on tonight's ITV FA Cup match mentioned Blackpool's "orange shirts". She's a real expert isn't she? Hope Joey wasn't watching.

Box ticked though

I've watched plenty of football in my lifetime and I'm pretty sure that shirts/colours have been the topic of conversation many, many times from all male commentary crews. Surprisingly nobody jumped on it on those occasions. Men are starting to fear women in the game and it's coming out on here week in week out. Just like women bus drivers were ridiculed in the 1970s.

One comment off BBC text tonight:-

"What are Forest wearing? There are some pretty interesting kits around at the moment but that one is simply awful. It's making me feel a bit nauseous. It's horrible.

Peter, Cornwall"

What a tosser he must be?

They just need to get the facts right. And they might be taken seriously

Yeah but Blackpool fans call their team the tangerines not the oranges........

Knowing the difference between the shades of orange is dead manly.

Who really gives a flying Feck?

Those of you watching in black n white?

[Tigerish]

Blackpool fans do

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

Why does it need two commentators anyway?

[Tigerish]

Yep. I don't remember anyone with Kenneth Wolstenholme in 66 and he did a pretty good job.

Without getting pedantic over shades of colour, if it was Burnley, you wouldn't say purple shirts, you'd say claret shirts because that's in their nickname. So it should be tangerine shirts for Blackpool, as opposed to orange.

Like you, I couldn't give a **** but because a woman said it people will be all over it.
