Joey Barton says Alex Scott 'shouldn't comment on men's football' in a direct attack on the BBC's punditry golden girl... as former Sky Sports commentator Bianca Westwood takes him to task over sexist comments

Joey Barton has claimed Alex Scott 'shouldn't comment on men's football' as he continued his tirade on women's involvement in the male arena.

The former Bristol Rovers boss and ex-Man City player has come under fire for his controversial posts about female broadcasters and pundits this week, having tweeted that women 'shouldn't be talking with any kind of authority in the men's game'.

After his words generated huge outrage online, he was invited onto Piers Morgan's show on TalkTV, where he doubled down on this thoughts, hitting out at the 'woke agenda' and said the world was 'going crazy' due to the uptick in female presenters.
