Alex Scott: The Truth About Match of the Day & The Online Abuse

[@KrishnaKini51]

Alex came to my school when I was 9 years old. Even back then when womens football wasn’t all that popular to the UK population, I’m so proud that she stayed true to herself and inspired lots of young girls and boys to chase their dreams❤

[@salk2555]

Yeh I don’t know how celebrities deal with that stuff, slander. Slander is peoples pain, they try and offload their pain onto you, it’s sad, it really is about them, not you.

[@whodouthinkuare]

Alex is such an interesting person. Her mother is Irish and Father Jamaican. She is so strong to be able to open up about her childhood trauma. She is such a confident person and I really enjoy watching her on most football shows.

[@adamstar7516]

Northern Irish, there’s a difference…. And yeah, the ‘father’ did a runner when she was a young kid lol. Not saying that’s a black man stereo type or nuffin lol.

[@ndipszingani2885]

Loved every second of this one!

[@FootballScoutsTV]

great interview. We do too much to prove to people

[@philbatt2079]

Before I watched this I like Alex a lot. I love her even more now! Amazing conversation.

[@dannews5694]

Brilliant. Great interview. Love the travel thing.

[@christopherflux6254]

I’ve seen interviews of her 10 years ago when she was still a player. She has come on so much with confidence and communication skills.

[@steveprice24]

This is an incredibly deep and moving podcast episode. I have learnt so much from this, and yet again that you for such thought provoking content. Huge respect to Alex

[@DarrenWalley]

Meghan Markle syndrome.

[@tonyscott4440]

Ask her if dad attended her first game for England

[@oiooi6460]

Claims she did not want to be a victim, but is trawling round all the daytime shows boo hooing in self-pity. Celebrity victimhood. The irony lost on her

[@AbdulGaffar-pv5bb]

She’s a terrible human being. Wouldn’t take a picture with my 7 year old Black sister but would take a picture with a 40 year old white male wearing Gucci and Louis Voutin shoes

[@stevencoe852]

some people need professional Help :)

[@tonyscott4440]

Cried down the phone to me saying Kelly had left and taken everything,sounds familiar doesn’t it? She said the same about me

[@JamesLenehan-es7ir]

Oh she is a trauma. Shocking presenter

[@jongallagher9280]

What an amazing lady, role model, athlete, broadcaster and high performer. I haven’t read Alex’s book yet, but I will get a copy. Another fantastic episode.

[@tonyscott4440]

Funny no proof but dad has proof she has lied

[@chris-cole]

Little Miss Alex, let me tell you something. I see beauty, strength and inspiration! You are verrrrrry brave for talking out about your past, I know how carrying the weight of past events can be a burdening weight but your strength and tenacity to be a winner should only be admired and celebrated. I cannot comprehend how people can criticise your achievements. It's simply crazy. Jake hits quite the point when he mentions it's just their anger talking, but we as a society need you on our screens! And not because of the typical "corrrr she's fit!", and you are verrrrrrry easy on the eye 🥵😍🥰🥰, but because of your journey, your example, to help our society accept that stereotypes in TV etc can be shifted to a more accepting/inclusive world. I judge you on your experience and ability to present football TV shows, if it's OK for Lewis Capaldi to sing "frrrreeeewww" and not "through" then why can't we accept accents etc as part of the person. I, for one, LOVE ya to bits!!! I think you're awesome! Well done on your successes, from Gunners n Lionesses, keep winning beautiful lady ❤️❤️❤️ Fantastic podcast guys 👏👏👏 New subscriber 👍

[@WillyJunior]

Have a glass of water buddy, you seem thirsty.

[@harrys1505]

Anything to do with the fact that she is promoting her book? Don't be so naive and gullible.

[@bentleyg50george]

@@harrys1505 well said mr h she sounds posh and very false fo me

[@WillyJunior]

​@@bentleyg50george posh lol, where are you from

[@WillyJunior]

@@bentleyg50george Well there you go. Anyone south of Leeds earning more than 20k a year is posh to you 🤣

[@justinengland9814]

Alex is such a beautiful lady inside and out.

[@adamstar7516]

She wouldn’t spit on you if you were on fire mate lol

[@tonyscott4440]

Why would you keep in touch with someone who allegedly so abusive even attending your dad’s 50th

[@DarrenWalley]

Meghan Markle springs to mind.

[@randomcomputer7248]

You are professional victim. How do you think you got a cushy job ? Victim for being brown and now she has to tell everyone about her daddy issues. People cant afford food and she wants to cry victim all the time

[@KateWood-ot8ox]

she got a good job because she got a degree and did internships at the football association, actually read her book before you judge her

[@randomcomputer7248]

@@KateWood-ot8ox I dont want to read her book, her having a degree doesnt mean much at all and I would suspect she was nursed through that to pass (i assume).

[@emperorhideyoshi3223]

@@randomcomputer7248imagine being this racist and deluded. I genuinely think you’re upset that you don’t have the temerity or grit to go through even half of what she went through which is why you’re trolling behind an anonymous profile while she’s actually gone and out and achieved stuff in the real world.

[@DarrenWalley]

I had just finished reading Anne Frank's secret diary. I began to look up to Anne & I saw her as an inspiration. UNTIL I saw this interview. Now I realise what a fraud some of these older so called 'Roll Models' are, compared to true survivors like Alex Scott. 😥

[@hammerX007]

Awesome interview, one of my favourite high performance interviews to date. So genuine, Alex you're a great role model for my daughter.

[@benfroughi]

Your daughter could do better than becoming a professional victim, whose greatest skill is being black.

[@spudgreg]

If your daughter ends up like her you’ve raised her wrong

[@alberthead4806]

brilliant

[@gelvisblue]

Worst presenter on TV by far. Not a patch on Hazel Irvine or Sue Barker.

[@ArranVid]

She has a twin brother who looks like her.

[@marcusclark5330]

This is an appalling interview ...one of the worst I have ever listened too in my life and I am a connoisseur of shite

[@DarrenWalley]

And me. I listened to some of the Meghan Markle stuff & that was great. Alex isn't far behind her. 😀

[@kukunase1686]

Alex is gorgeous

[@outsidepool4131]

Love the sarcasm 🤣

[@adamstar7516]

How else do you think she got on telly. Black? Tick. Good looking? Tick. Dresses sexy? (In the early days) Tick Tick. Talent? Errrrrrrrrrr, forget about it. Can speak? Nahhhhhhhhhh.

[@marcusclark5330]

Incredible? Are we sure? Is that meritocracy or just saying the "right thing". She's allright even good but incredible... I am sorry but that is contrived and does not actually do anyone any favours... I mean just shut up it's insulting

[@itsdutchy8922]

book selling stunts😆😆

[@bentleyg50george]

shes on nearly £200,000 pa her accent was posh to start with then it went more london very strange interview.But they are all actors.Its also a bit odd to launch a book when money is tight,

[@mediacenterman8583]

She has always spoken with an East London accent. Jog on!

[@frankross5545]

Attention seeking + buy my book

[@connorf1323]

I feel sorry for you Frank . Must’ve be struggling. Hope you’re ok

[@tonyscott4440]

Her mother did not leave me I left her and signed the tenancy of my flat over to her,she has lied many times

[@ammarsajid7284]

What a powerful and strong person. Alex Scott, all of my love and endless respect for you ❤

[@tonyscott4440]

She was never abused,she hasn’t mentioned she never sees one of her nieces because her brother has had injunctions taken out on him,yet she poses with him and goes to functions????

[@timcomley5948]

Jewish family roots but supports linekers comments 🙄

[@jozidozi]

What a woman. Wow.

[@harrys1505]

I was abused......so buy my book.

[@adamstar7516]

I’m a victim. Buy my book. Grow my brand. Just don’t look at my bank balance….. This woman has got everything in her life from fitting the wokey bbc black tick box agenda. She can barely pronounce a sentence properly. Her voice alone grates on millions of people. There are thousands who could do a better job than her yet bbc is forcing her into every open job in a desperate attempt to tick their boxes. That’s what pisses people off. AS, you aren’t good enough. Stremph?? lol it’s strength, bruva! You’ll get frew it, bruva. Dis is just another decline in standards that’s dragging everyfin in our country daaahhhn. Just look at the Westfield Centre any Sat afternoon. Afffleets? Jesus.

[@KateWood-ot8ox]

her book is 99% about football

[@jamiepitts6266]

Well done Alex for showing strength through vulnerability. Great podcast to watch, plus you are fit & gorgeous 😊

[@adamstar7516]

It’s stremph. Have you learned nuffin! 🤣🤣🤣

[@adamstar7516]

Is she still in ferrapy btw. And what’s ferrapy? 😂

[@SRTV2022]

Rags to riches 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@mediacenterman8583]

Alex Scott is a National Treasure.

[@alankelly8562]

She is annoyed with herself for not speaking out about the abuse sooner and it purely coincidental that when she finally decides to discuss it it’s in the form of a book. Not buying it nor the book.

[@tonyscott4440]

She didn’t speak about it earlier because it never happened,she didn’t mention Kelly neither

[@connorf1323]

Everything ok at home Alan ?
