    Former Lioness Fara Williams is gearing up to roar down mouthy ex-footballer Joey Barton after his claim women should not be commentating on men\u2019s football.<\/p>\n

    Unemployed manager and ex-Manchester City player Barton sparked a sexism row after comparing women\u2019s views on the game to go-karters discussing F1. He also singled out Alex Scott saying she should not be a pundit and called blokes who support them \u201ceunuchs\u201d.<\/p>\n

    Fara, England\u2019s highest-capped female player, says: \u201cJoey is going to come on a podcast in January with myself and Rio Ferdinand to have a debate about it. Of course I\u2019ll put him in his place.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI think he has some valid points in what he\u2019s saying but the one point that isn\u2019t valid \u2013 and I won\u2019t agree with \u2013 is females shouldn\u2019t, and aren\u2019t qualified, to talk about men\u2019s football. That\u2019s nonsense in my opinion and I\u2019ve already voiced that to him. We\u2019ll have that debate.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The former midfielder, who retired at the end of the 2020\/21 season, is calling for cleaner talk all round, on the pitch as well as off.<\/p>\n

    She adds: \u201cFootball is the only sport where females seem to be talked about by men.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    "We\u2019ve seen over the years male and females speaking and commentating on athletics, tennis, boxing, cricket and rugby and you\u2019ve never heard any of those sports\u2019 males commenting about females talking about it. It\u2019s only ever football that has that. I\u2019m looking forward to the debate with Barton.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Unhelpful commentary causing unnecessary distractions has had in a detrimental effect on players\u2019 performance and the quality of recorded footage, according to 89% of parents surveyed by Google. Their new AI-led feature Audio Magic Eraser will allow users of the Google Pixel 8 to rub out shouting, swearing or any unwelcome noise from videos.<\/p>\n

    Fara, 39, says: \u201cI have nieces and nephews that both play and there\u2019s so much pressure on youngsters to be the next best thing when really they\u2019re in their development phase.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI\u2019m a coach myself and there\u2019s a huge dropout because of unnecessary nonsense of things they don\u2019t want to hear and negative feedback or criticism. The magic eraser would be perfect to erase Joey\u2019s voice from what he\u2019s saying.\u201d<\/p>\n

    After playing for Great Britain during the 2012 London Olympics, helping the Lionesses to a runner-up position at the 2009 Euros and winning two Women\u2019s Super League titles with Liverpool plus the FA Cup with both Arsenal and Everton, Fara chose to retire for her personal well being. <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    In 2020 she was diagnosed with kidney condition nephrotic syndrome, which can lead to ankle and leg swelling. Now Fara is proud to see the female game going from strength to strength.<\/p>\n

    She says: \u201cWhat the Lionesses have done \u2013 winning the Euros and getting to a World Cup final \u2013 has changed perception and put a little bit of respect on the game of women\u2019s football. <\/p>\n

    "There seems to be this stigma with football that it\u2019s meant to be a male-dominated game and women shouldn\u2019t be playing. The Lionesses in the last two years have changed that perception which is fantastic for the game moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
