Especially when they follow it with ‘journey’!

So yeah, totally agree with you for once, Sandy.

Which rather ironically is pretty amazing 😉

I honestly don't watch player/manager interviews anymore. They're so locked down by PR that there is really no point wasting time watching or reading them.

Yes I agree

It tends to be more and more the same old regurgitated bs

Now then ...... how many of our foooty players have graduated high school? Have a college degree? Count them on the fingers of one hand - without the thumb?
Perhaps one should expect their vocabulary to be rather limited?
Now, that said ....... I would have to describe my relationship with Sandy Ole' Boyo as truly .........well ....er....ahem ........"AMAZING"

Commentary / media interviewing is getting ridiculous these days. There seems to be a need to make everything sound / look really dramatic or unbelievably out of this world.

In mean, take Cookery programs - sorry but what is dramatic about cooking ffs. Is something you have to do if you cant get to a take away or bung summit in the microwave. Eg minimal time spent as possible. These programs are pitched as "life or death".

Irritating sports words regularly used:
World Class, unbelievable, brilliant, outstanding, astonishing.

All used when the game you are watching is,like, Meh.

Funnily enough, here's Phil Neville saying what he thinks despite the PR people telling him to say "it was a good game":

I didn't see the game - watched France v Brazil which was pretty good footy.
However saw Neville's interview ... seems Camaroon had an obvious goal disallowed (?) by a VAR reference. And that set them off - they are not "stiff upper lip" type people. Didn't want to start the second half!
If I was the Cameroon coach I'm not sure what I would do....... what would you do?

Good question Ted.

I think the real issue is this: do you follow the rules all the time, or only when you agree with them?

If the former, then like Neville said you just accept it. As I Spurs fan I accepted that stupid CL final penalty, even though I disagreed with it.

If the latter, then you rebel.

I know there are times when the former is right to do, and times when the latter is right.

The challenge is knowing when each option is right.
