They actually seem to have studied the teams and have a basic understanding of what's going on in front of them. I'll take that over a pair of dimwits like Rio and Owen like. That said the lass that was commentating the women's world cup was fucking brain-dead. Expand I would agree with that. It says a lot about a lot of male, ex-pro pundits that their female counterparts are better just by doing their homework though.

Gemmill 51203 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 King Kev getting in early with the poppy mind. His reputation can't afford another hit after he said he doesn't want splitbots commentating on the football. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I was going to post about this last night but honestly, I just couldn’t think of words to do the night justice. Keegan was his usual star studded majestic self. We were still queuing outside nearly an hour after we were meant to be in. Pete Graves came outside and explained “you know what he’s like, can’t just have his photo taken, he has to chat and joke on with everyone he meets” Sure enough when we got to meet him he was there treating everyone like a long lost relative. The bloke is King Kev for good reason. First hour was just Kev and Pete graves. This is where it’s hard to do him justice. If you’ve ever spent time in his company or at one of these events you will know what I mean, if not, put it on your bucket list now. He’s just a wonderful human wrapped up in genuine love for Newcastle the club and the fans (“We are his statue”) and so so funny. You feel a bit like a small child meeting Santa. Eddie then joined KK for the second hour and it was just everything you could imagine it would be. Eddie was the most relaxed I’ve ever seen him and when not laughing with the rest of us at KK’s input, was a great listen in his own right. We even got Terry Mac on stage for a rendition of the Blaydon Races! Definitely one of the best nights of my life. 12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand There was another yes/no exchange and my missus could see the way this was going so she came across, took the book he’d just signed from me and said “right let’s get a picture!” and proceeded to get us lined up for the shot and the mood dissipated back into joviality again I got the impression the problem was/is even for KK’s legendary common touch with ordinary punters he’s not used to being contradicted by us plebs, he wasn’t taking it, and because I knew I was on easily provable firm ground I wasn’t going to back down either… fair to say we’re both cunts in a way; the difference is he’s won the ballon d’or twice and I drive a white van with some light bulbs in the back of it 🤪 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
