Alex Scott to replace Sue Barker as host of BBC's 'Question of Sport'
- Thread starter sammsky1
- Start date
Didn't even know Question of Sport was even still going.
Literally don't think I have seen it on the television for 3+ years

Alex Scott is a bit of a hottie.
One of the best pundits out there. Puts most blokes to shame to just regurgitate cliches and outdated ideas (Paul Ince, I’m looking at you).
I think she will be great.

I like the picture board round and home or away...
I tell you one thing it’s miles better than that “A league of their own”. Bullshit..

I am surprised its still going, its one of the first programmes I would expect to cut if the BBC were undertaking cost cutting measures, but I guess its cheap to make and must still attract viewers....
I don't watch question of sport, haven't since I was a kid, but Alex Scott is slowly becoming a female version of James Corden, just fecking everywhere

Has a degree in Professional Sports Writing and Broadcasting and been working in TV for years including hosting shows...
QoS is great and costs probably around 27p per episode to make. There are far better ways to cut costs.
Ah yes, the show that’s essentially They Think It’s All Over if it was run by LADBible.
Id just turn QoS into a public quiz show about sport and ditch the guest athlete aspect.
I might start watching this again. She is a very knowledgeable pundit and 
I like her. She's very sunny. Not watched QoS for years mind. It had become pretty stale. They should bring back They Think it's all Over.
I'm surprised by the number of Sue Barker alt accounts that are posting on redcafe, surely nobody else has found that show entertaining since at least the nineties.

Just ridiculous. Maybe BBC thinks Scott will be better than Barker at the job? Many people don’t think about these things first when instantly crying about whites or blacks taking preference.
Why do people make such broad statements like this by brandishing a entire country as racist based off a few tweets.
She was a top level pro tennis player originally. Won the French Open.
Because it’s true? And I never said whole country. I said you always get this reaction in the UK.

Yeah
Why do all these old whoppers on Twitter . think that a space goes before and after a full stop or comma and , love inserting them in random places .
bots
Think it was a thing for typewriters back in the 1800s.
There was a guy Andy Duferse used to write like that all the time in the newbie’s... Strange bloke.
She was one of the original presenters of what is now Soccer Saturday, but was called Sports Saturday
Get in!
I'm usually anti-quota ticking.
She is a fantastic pundit, one of the few women I like listening to on sport shows, Sue happened to be another actually. Don't worry I hate plenty of the blokes too.
Clearly qualified for the role and seems good fun, she should suit the position perfectly.
Glad it's pissed off a bunch of nationalists too.

There's racist people in every country.
It's called a Space Comma! (coined by this guy: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbuO3qj9_dSjnKQf-LhRqPA)
I'm only 26 and love it haha. Always a treat when it happens to come on when i've flicked on the box for a bit. Two of the best things in one - A Quiz & Sport.
I read an interview with Jeff Stelling about how no female pundit would take the soccer Saturday gig on sky after the recent changes because of the abuse they would get online . No doubt Alex was offered a spot and rightly so as she would deserve it
It is clearly not just a few racists and trolls out there and whether you blame Brexit Trump or whatever it seems to be getting worse .

Havn't watched this show since Matt Dawson went on it
I'd question whether it's entertainment myself, but each to their own.
I do get why some people take issue with this from the point of Sue Barker getting sacked. It's big problem for older people to lose their job because they are way less likely to get hired somewhere else.
As I'm not posting this on Twitter I'm also not jumping to conclusions. Was the show continually not performing in the ratings? Did she shit in someone's handbag? Was it purely a business decision? Did she get a new boss? I work in TV and there are not many reasons needed for an on-air talent to get the sack. In my experience the most common one is the last one, a new boss takes charge and want to put their stamp on things.

Yeah she should turn dumb the salary for two recordings per week
Her and the team captains have been moved on. It's a revamp of the whole show.
There is a female on Soccor Saturday, ex pro with short spikey hair can’t remember her name.
edit: Sue Smith is her name

Haven’t watched since Cliff Morgan left
They’ve lost a huge audience to A League Of Their Own
Those saying she's an amazing, knowledgeable pundit are such bullshitters 
.
She does nothing different. Same "He'll be disappointed with that/Good time to score/I've seen them given" clichés as every other pundit around.

I think she's fantastic. Charismatic but perhaps not as analytical as some. Most aren't very analytical though.
This role will suit her to a T.
Do you have a British or St Georges flag in your twitter pic?
Naw, she’s pretty good made Ashley Cole look like a right muppet last time she was on Sky..Those saying she's an amazing, knowledgeable pundit are such bullshitters

Maybe Sue Barker should present it again, she is the OG after all....
If Twitter was around in 1997, a similar rabble of gimps would've been shouting into the void about Barker getting the gig based on her gender.
