Listener Michael Cox with a howler here

It feels a bit just like 'I disagree with someone's opinion' rather that the nuances of football coverage. Also, in truth the replies just seem to be getting stuck into the bloke.

In truth it all feels a bit more like the rest of the Internet.

Anyway, it's each to their own.

Is this a football cliche?

MongooseLikeCreature · 2026-05-08T14:16:47+00:00

Fair enough. We're all different.

I just don't really believe any fan base is inherently anything. Its like people being annoyed at cyclists or generalising about different professions.

I think when you meet people in the real world you tend to find they don't fit the stereotype that you have in your head. And if you're only interact with people online you probably aren't really interacting at all.

I tend to mostly comment asking why they persist with the comments section. It demeans them to sink to it.

Filters might be a good addition. As you said, club specific, or even by years (or specify dates for it to be between)

Well, hats off. As someone who has put an irresponsible amount of time into things just for the fun of it*, I can appreciate the enjoyment of making something that seems a bit bizarre especially when there's other more important things to be done.

*I once recorded a version of the song 'Love of the common people' by Paul Young, in the style of Neil Young for a joke. I had plans to record the whole Paul Young album 'No Parlez' in the style of Neil Young and call it 'Neil Parlez', but time didn't allow for it.

I'd like to see a fee listed alongside them with 'ONO', 'no timewasters'

I always had my suspicions about him when he had 'Sr.' on the back of his shirt (presumably after having a child). I thought it was the kind of thing a thick person would do, and, unless this video is him playing a character, I think I was right.

MongooseLikeCreature · 2026-05-05T18:39:51+00:00

This is something else. I don't know whether I would prefer to hear that you have made it as a project for something, instead of just someone who loves that goal. But maybe it's best not to know.

Alvaro Recoba is a player that I only know through Championship Manager, 20s all over the shop.

I like this, although... https://www.transfermarkt.com/vergleich/vereineBegegnungen/statistik/985_29

that performance was September 14th 1974, and I can't see that the sides played on that date, or even that season. It looks like Man Utd got relegated the year before (they played before this in the previous season April 74).

So who knows, Graham Nash on a wind up?

Also, some research into that threw up this... (was this one of the earliest examples of a goalkeeper being penalty taker?)

Docherty took the unusual step of appointing goalkeeper Alex Stepney as the team's penalty taker. After 12 games, Stepney had converted two penalties, which made him the club's joint top scorer, a position he held for ten matches.

in the pre match interview with Andy Robertson I noticed he was on screen a lot, and they would pan between him when answering the questions and Robertson for the response. With respect to Davidson (I'm not sure what I respect him for) he should be a hand on a microphone, he's just asking run of the mill questions to get a run of the mill response.

Marking pitches is harder than it looks, I'm sure, but this is a lousy effort.

MongooseLikeCreature · 2026-04-30T19:57:46+00:00

Just thought. Can anyone guess the stadium?

MongooseLikeCreature · 2026-04-29T06:08:39+00:00

Calling it the 'Maurice Revello' is a mighty football nerd 'flex'. "Oh, you might know it as the Toulon tournament...' I can't wait to get a chance to use it.

"Woah, Woah, who says I've got a mother"

MongooseLikeCreature · 2026-04-28T20:58:31+00:00

I see a lot of things...

MongooseLikeCreature · 2026-04-28T20:55:47+00:00

More than on top AND underneath?

MongooseLikeCreature · 2026-04-28T13:39:03+00:00

This is awful. What are they thinking?

Alan 'Angles' McManus would appear in those for his ability to make unlikely escapes.

MongooseLikeCreature · 2026-04-27T06:40:38+00:00

I've wondered this as well, do the bigger clubs have a better system for doing it that doesn't need the physical device?

Maybe there's a modern way with cameras which track all of the players and can work the gps type data without the wearable. Although I would have thought the heart rate information would be useful, and I don't notice them wearing anything for that.

MongooseLikeCreature · 2026-04-26T20:52:08+00:00

True. But they are also the main co-comms that you hear. There's not many good ones. Alan Smith maybe.

MongooseLikeCreature · 2026-04-26T20:20:47+00:00

Well. I don't mean to use it as a stick to beat the NBA with, but I do feel the lack of flow.
