Am I the only bloke in the world that doesn't find her physically attractive?

She annoys me and I've said before that she reminds me of Dolph Lundgren.

I had to google her to see who she was....and I have to say, I wouldn’t consider her remotely attractive, and I’d say the photo above has had some “adjustments “ .

Same. I just never saw the appeal. And I do find certain Irish (famous) women attractive- Saoirse Ronan, I feel, is genuinely pretty. (Imo).
Because even in her interviews she comes across well.

You can just 'sense' a nasty person.

Joanne Cantwell.

Since she took over the Sunday Game from Michael Lyster she's like a bossy little primary school teacher. Doesn't allow panel members express themselves.

Add to that Ursula Jacob. She is a terrible analyst and her voice is the hardest to listen to on tv.

She's always been like that. But seeing as she's female she'll never be called up on it. Plus the only reason she even got the job was because she's female yet she's made out t be this hero.

Ursula Jacob wasn;t a bad analyst at the start but she's just saying the same thing ver and over again now. Yes her voice would go trought you. Yet if it's brought up people are being sexiest. For a bit ob balance i also find Tommy Walshs voice had to take when he's on as well.

Exactly. She was a great hurler. The strike off the ground v Cork one year.

But the sound of her etc. I find, and I don't mind saying this, all the female GAA analysts suck the life out of the game. All boring repetitive crap about the game.

Ger Loughnane, like him or loathe him, saying Dublin were playing pure constipated hurling in 2013! He's out to grass.

Cyril Farrell on Lar Corbett in 2011, 'he's like Bin Bolt as such like'! Des Cahill, 'would he be a relation of Usain Bolt?!'. There used be serious craic. Cyril knew more about every hurling team and camogie team. Again out to grass.

The way this world is gone, individuality and characters replaced by automatons, on and off the field.

No matter the sport the female analysts will never be criticised no matter what they say.

In soccer Stephanie Roche is often rolled out. Baced on what? One goal from almost 10 years that she's still living off despite being found out by mutilate clubs since.

Whitmore was getting a lot of flack on twitter over the weekend over her hypocrisy with the media.

What does she do? Posts banal comments on her account about Liverpools match and requests music tips from her followers to generate retweets/replies. Like sheep they all respond and hey presto! All of the previous negative comments are buried.

I will never understand how stupid fans can be. They think they have a connection with these people but in reality they are simply being used.

I cant understand how someone like Whitmore has "fans". Maybe I'll start my own fan club.

If it wasn't for 'flack' she wouldn't even have TV career right now. Ms Flack stepped aside, pending an investigation/ court case regarding a domestic violence incident.

(I'm not making any comment about her subsequent suicide. I'm not gonna go that low).

Unfortunately reading the last few pages, there are always idiots who take heed of jackasses who try to ‘impose themselves’ as ‘influencers’ .

You would wonder why irrelevant people reporting on irrelevant people matters so much, I couldn't give a fiddlers what the ****ing kardashians do, I wouldn't know who they are, only for the papers and TV ads, also, TV soaps are not my thing but the papers are always saying stupid **** like Simon cheats on Rebecca and a car crash kills 6 of the most popular characters in shock hollyoaks news, except it isn't a shock, and it didn't happen, except in fantasy land. Then the same people complain about the impact of the internet on their mental health, there would be no impact if they turned off their phones and laptops, and went for a nice walk. If what happens to celebrities and fictional TV characters really upsets them that much, how would they face a real tragedy? My best advice is live your own life, and create your own highlights, because it's a once around the block experience, and you will never get back the time you waste on irrelevant people and things.

Alan McLoughlin hasn't had half the red carpet roll outs from RTE that Stephanie Roche has had.
She's done very well out of it and credit to her but you're right when you say female pundits escape criticism. Leeds United calling out the BT Sport pundit about their relegation season being one other example.

Sone Aluko is another person I'd add to this, I have great time for Alex Scott but when they were both on covering the World Cup in Russia it was night and day the difference between the two. Aluko's agent must be incredible she keeps ending up in these roles. Most recently Sky Sports News ran a story that she was leaving Aston Villa women's team (she was DoF - again how?) to take up a gig in LA. So? Who cares? Villa almost got relegated, talk about landing on her feet.

While i have no issue with her there's no way a male player would still be talked about had he done the same thing. Anytime i've seen her as a pundit she's never added anything, again if it was a male pundit they wouldn't be givenas much of an opportunity as she has.

Her carry on as a sideline interviewer over the years was disgraceful, pig ignorant.

RTEs whole GAA coverage is a shambles. Probably the only thing Mickey Harte ever got right was boycotting them.

At the time there was about 1/10th of the cases in Bulgaria as there were in Ireland.... the cheap labour was the lazy narrative from some.

Having had dealing with Kealings (it rhymes.. unfortunately) it's not just him that's smarmy.

The whole company is like that.

I remember the goal and the big contract that followed and in an interview after I got the impression things weren’t going well with her in the club (France or uk?) , was it a case of a lucky goal ?

Eli Aluko? yeah she's dreadful, (she did commentary covering for Sue Smith who is much better on Soccer Saturday and she couldn't string a coherent sentence together), from her whinging about her poor book sales and other things, she's plays a few cards a lot - race/gender
