Chaser 1077 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Why is it that post match interviews always seem to be soundbite scripted pieces from the players? Everytime I watch a post match interview, they all reel out the same shite, same sentences which suggests to me that they get media coaching and none of them are prepared to have a crack with the pundit, or even say anything other than the usual dialogue. Anyone else like to see some players having a laugh post match and just being themselves rather than clones of each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stevie Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 If you listen to most players they start replies with "yeah you know".

adam_cann 0 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Rooney is particularly camera shy...a man united fan pointed out to me how many times he touches his face in interviews, we counted 28 times tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 6368 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 It's not just Football players, Rugby League players over here have a horrible habit of saying you know before, during and after everything they say. Interviewer: It was a good performance out there tonight from the team, particularly impressive was the defense. Was it something the coach has been working on during the week? Player:You know.. the coach has you know always been talking to us about our defense, you know, so it's good to you know come out here tonight and have a good defensive game, you know Some of the best interviews come after grand final victories etc. Where they can't talk about taking it one game at a time, and not getting ahead of themselves. Plus they're so ecstatic about winning (or depressed about losing) that their true feelings come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14136 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 It's the abuse of tenses that gets me. "He's played the ball into me, the defender's missed it and I've buried it in the back of the net." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13915 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Once players are given a professional contract they are issued with a book of cliche's. Including such classics as... "You Know...he's a top top player" "Well, the fans, here are some of the most passionate in the country'' "Once you get out there it's up to me and only me to give it 100 % and thats what I try to do'' Etc Etc.

"He's played the ball into me, the defender's missed it and I've buried it in the back of the net." Someone on the news used 'span' as the past tense of spin whilst talking about the Grand Prix on Sunday. It's 'spun' you thick twat, a span is measurement between two points.

I think you can use "he span" or "he spun" (right?). It's definitely "he has spun" though. English, man. I'm amazed the world bothers trying to speak it sometimes.

Barney 0 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 It was a pleasure listening to KK and Robson interviewed. Joe Cole isn't a cliche merchant either. Harry "he's a t'riffic player" Redknapp is a cunt. Wenger and Benitez completely ignore the question asked of them and just reply whatever they like.

Asprilla 96 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I hate how when a team has just played like shit, they talk about taking positives and learning from the game. FYI, in advance, I'd like to say don't let the other team score more goals than you. That's it. Kthxbai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1077 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) There must be a load of characters in the game (they cant all be that boring) but none of them choose to show it. Ian Holloway or Strachan are usually good value for entertainment Edited September 11, 2008 by robchester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
