Ellen White retires

[Chutney]

Ellen White
Fair play and well deserved, has put in a hell of a shift over the years, and what a way to bow out.

 

[Zoophonic]

Yes. Fell 1 short of Rooney’s record.

 

[Pear-Drops]

No doubt she'll be appearing anytime soon as a SKY studio guest for a man's game

 

[BoroMart]

Great career and what a way to drop out. I'm sure some attention seekers will be along with sarky comments about it being a man's game, I find that an incredibly dull sense of humour personally Put your rods away and applaud someone that acheived everything they dreamed of through tenacity and dedication. Plenty of male Boro players I can think of who failed purely on that side of the game and could learn something from Ellen White.

And...why shouldn't she...had a fabulous career at club and international level so knows the game inside out. Funnily enough I've never seen anyone complain about a man commentating on a woman's game.
It's a game....if you know your stuff doesn't matter who you are to commentate

Well she won't do any worse than the men currently in there.

Yes. Fell 1 short of Rooney’s record.

Not sure I get the comparison really.

 

[fmttmadmin]

Tremendous career. And fantastic selfless decision to leave the door open for others

 

[Zoophonic]

Not sure I get the comparison really.

Many don’t unsurprisingly.

in mens football they’d be set for life financially in retirement, I wonder how women fare with starting a second career. There are only so many tv jobs and not everyone will want that anyway .

Lets hope so. Good to see someone with so much experience as a pundit

Remember the furore over Alex Scott taking over Football Focus?

A former player with 140 international appearances and a degree in sports journalism and broadcasting. Yup, who the hell thought that was a good idea?

I'm here to be enlightened if you want.

 

[Kevo4]

Ellen who?

Why do we keep pretending we give a hoot about it?

 

[Zoophonic]

I'm here to be enlightened if you want.

Nah.

 

[Tryasize10]

Nah.

That's because you can't. You're on here trying to bait.

 

[Zoophonic]

Well you are right. I can’t be arsed to “enlighten “ you

 

[Quicksilvera]

I wish she took Rooneys record before she called it a day but never mind eh

On the same subject, why should it only be retired PL players, why not give ex players throughout the game a chance
