Oatley's voice is so grating

It may be the season of goodwill to all men – and women – and I know it’s terribly un-PC.
But Jacqui Oatley’s high-pitched commentary on Match of the Day is awful.
Before I get accused of living in the stone age (and that’s just from Mrs P), I’m not doing Oatley down for the sole reason of her sex.
She is clearly a good journalist who knows her stuff about football – even if she does support Wolves.
But speaking purely as a listener, her voice grated to such an extent that I had to hit the mute button.
The pitch she reached when Yakubu scored his hat-trick goal for Everton nearly set the dog off.
Bring back Motty and his sheepskin.
