rainbowrising Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 always remember Jocky Scott being asked on Sportsound what his career highlights had been. After a long pause Jocky replied 'I cant think of any' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I don't know if Rodgers is particularly more tedious than other managers or that the press go over his comments with a fine toothcomb when he usually says f**k all of interest.

Ira Gaines Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Rodgers is tedious when it comes to his desperate attempt to talk up opponents and show respect, but as far as tedious things go, it's not a bad one to have I don't think. And it's pretty much the only thing I don't like about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JockysJetpack Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Jesus, that's uncomfortable viewing. Has been noted by others that it gives the impression of a wee boy trying to convince his mates that he has actually kissed a girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Heliums Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Steve Lomas used to issue an instruction to 'listen' at the start of every sentence: a sure sign that what followed wasn't very much worth listening to. And he always seemed to be looking elsewhere during the interview, as if speaking to someone else off camera. Made him look even shiftier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 The interviews are mostly terrible. Interviewers will rarely ask questions but will just make statements which invite a response. It's an arrogant and lazy form of discourse. Any questions which do arise are generally loaded to provide a "gotcha" answer or some sensational headline. You can't blame managers for giving boring interviews after the match when the people in charge of the interview (the alleged journalists) give them nothing to work with.

I wondered if that might be excusable by some sort of contractual requirement to mentions the sponsors' name every third or four sentence. But "the football club" or "NAME OF CLUB football club" really baffles me. Are they afraid viewers will think it's a rugby or cricket club?

You can't blame managers for giving boring interviews after the match when the people in charge of the interview (the alleged journalists) give them nothing to work with. I've got sympathy on both sides. For the player/manager who gets asked pretty inane questions, it must be a pain - even the more interesting managers struggle when the question is of the "It's the Lanarkshire Derby this weekend Steve, what do you make of the Rangers Tax Case" type. Stuart McCall used to get pilloried for talking about Rangers all the time (and I was guilty of that) but when Motherwell started showing the full press conferences, you realised that the hacks asked him about Rangers *all the time* so that they had some OF content to use. On the other side - the vast majority of players aren't very bright to put it kindly and the chances of them ever saying something interesting (especially as they are taught not to say anything controversial in their Media Training) are pretty low. I pity the poor hack that has to construct a piece out of 5 monosyllabic answers they got from a 21 year old who probably can't read or write and spends his leisure time doing the kids colouring-in sheet at Nando's.

As with all inane cliches however, it achieves the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
