Scott made the joke in an Instagram clip
PAJoey Barton had said Scott “shouldn’t commentate on the men’s game” in a fresh sexist rant.
In the clip, Scott asks: “Who are you interviewing?”
The colleague replies: “I’m interviewing you actually.”
Scott says: “Oh are you? What are we talking about, Joey Barton?”
The quick-witted joke made Scott’s colleague burst out laughing.
During her footy career Scott won eight league titles, three WSL Cups and seven FA Cups.
Scott also won the Champions League once, and two Community Shields.
However, Barton does not believe she is qualified enough to speak on men’s football.
When quizzed by Piers Morgan about her commentating he said: “She hasn’t played in it.
“One is 200 years old and one is about 40 years old.
“It’s the same rules but football is about a lot more than rules.
“The games are at two different speeds.”
Barton said it was the same as him commentating on Formula One just because he can drive a car.
On Wednesday the former Manchester City and Newcastle star claimed women are not qualified to talk about the men’s game.
His tirade included saying that women commentating on men’s football was the same as him “talking about knitting or netball” – and called those who disagreed with him “eunuchs” and “fart parcels”.
Barton, 41, defended his comments on Piers Morgan Uncensored on TalkTV yesterday evening.
