An Evening With Kevin Keegan OBE <\/em>in Bristol last Friday when he made the questionable comments \u2013 though he was largely full of praise for the women\u2019s game and its development in recent years.<\/p>\nAround 250 people were in attendance and his remarks drew a ripple of applause, with Keegan of the belief that women footballers are not qualified to critique the men\u2019s game.<\/p>\n
In comments relayed by The Times, Keegan is quoted as saying: \u2018I\u2019m not as keen [on female pundits], I\u2019ve got to be honest, and it may not be a view shared.<\/p>\n
\u2018I don\u2019t like to listen to ladies talking about the England men\u2019s team at the match because I don\u2019t think it\u2019s the same experience. I have a problem with that.\u2019<\/p>\n
He continued: \u2018The presenters we have now, some of the girls are so good, they are better than the guys. It\u2019s a great time for the ladies.<\/p>\n
\u2018But if I see an England lady footballer saying about England against Scotland at Wembley and she\u2019s saying, \u201cIf I would have been in that position I would have done this,\u201d I don\u2019t think it\u2019s quite the same. I don\u2019t think it crosses over that much.\u2019<\/p>\n

Despite his criticism of female pundits, Keegan insists he is a big supporter of the women\u2019s game.<\/p>\n
\u2018It is a great time for the ladies\u2019 game,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
\u2018When I was England manager [from February 1999 to October 2000] I went to coach the England ladies and I had this perception of what the quality would be like and they were so much better than I thought they were going to be.<\/p>\n
\u2018I joined in and then I thought, \u201cI\u2019m getting out of this!\u201d I couldn\u2019t get the bloody ball and one of them nutmegged me, that finished me off.\u2019<\/p>\n
Keegan, who used to work as a TV pundit but has not done so for some time, was also critical of modern commentators and feels they \u2018talk too much\u2019.<\/p>\n
He added: \u2018I worked with Brian Moore who was the best. At a World Cup final he would say, \u201cKevin, don\u2019t talk too much let the pictures do the talking.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018A lot of the pundits now talk too much. Don\u2019t keep talking, talking, talking. They don\u2019t want people like us any more, our day is gone, it\u2019s time for the next generation.<\/p>\n
\u2018There are some very, very good lady presenters and I\u2019m working with one in two days\u2019 time, Terry Yorath\u2019s daughter, Gabby [Logan].\u2019<\/p>\n
