cisono Posted 5 September 2005 Posted 5 September 2005 Hughes Not a Good Spectator "City midfielder Stephen Hughes says he's glad to be back in contention after being frustrated by an ankle injury." Glad they wrote that down in text, as I cannot make out hardly anything he is saying in the video interview (I only get the last 3 or 4 words!!!). Is it just me?!!?
cisono Posted 5 September 2005 Author Posted 5 September 2005 I hate that...... [lots of unintelligible stuff]... training with the boys again Perhaps if I listen to it a hundred more times?!?!!?
fox-trot Posted 5 September 2005 Posted 5 September 2005 Sometimes im not a good spectator hehe probably explains why im on the edge of my seat.
cisono Posted 5 September 2005 Author Posted 5 September 2005 Sometimes im not a good spectator hehe probably explains why im on the edge of my seat. Hehe... no worries, it just annoys me that I find him difficult to understand (at least in these video interviews).
Anish Posted 5 September 2005 Posted 5 September 2005 It would have been a bit more helpful if you'd actually put a link to the video interview, rather than the LC World login page (which is what Hitesh was referring to). Video
cisono Posted 5 September 2005 Author Posted 5 September 2005 Ok, so it doesn't work for some reason. <_< Glad you noticed!!!
cisono Posted 5 September 2005 Author Posted 5 September 2005 It would have been a bit more helpful if you'd actually put a link to the video interview... Incidentally, it was difficult for me to test properly if that link works properly or not. I did test it and, for me, it works! (possibly due to the fact that I already have the file cached on my PC)
cisono Posted 5 September 2005 Author Posted 5 September 2005 Good player glad to have him back... Same here...
Guest Posted 6 September 2005 Posted 6 September 2005 Glad they wrote that down in text, as I cannot make out hardly anything he is saying in the video interview (I only get the last 3 or 4 words!!!). Is it just me?!!? I have very little problems, I could even understand Rab C Nesbitt when it was on, but I suspect it's genetic!
cisono Posted 6 September 2005 Author Posted 6 September 2005 From: http://www.lcfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/...~709350,00.html There was some good news to report regarding the fitness of Stephen Hughes. Levein added: "Stephen is back in full training and is on the right track. He went through his first real match situation on Monday since he has recovered from his injury. "He also trained on Friday, but it is a bit early to play him in the reserve game against Palace. "Stephen is going to train all week and providing he gets no setbacks then I will be considering him for the weekend. "He is a quality player and from my point of view we have missed him. He's not kicked a ball for us this season and I think, arguably, towards the end of last season he was our best player."
cisono Posted 6 September 2005 Author Posted 6 September 2005 I have very little problems, I could even understand Rab C Nesbitt when it was on, but I suspect it's genetic! I don't know what you mean genetic here, but I was fine after I adjusted my expectations of what he "should" sound like.
Hitesh Posted 6 September 2005 Posted 6 September 2005 Did someone email this to me? I have just looked at my inbox and i saw Hughes name but it wont let me open for some reason and my internet is being really slow!
AyewJoking Posted 6 September 2005 Posted 6 September 2005 Why didnt he tell the truth and say its been great to sit back, do nothing and still get paid 5 grand a week?-
cisono Posted 6 September 2005 Author Posted 6 September 2005 Did someone email this to me? I have just looked at my inbox and i saw Hughes name but it wont let me open for some reason and my internet is being really slow! Yes, I offered to send you the interview.
cisono Posted 6 September 2005 Author Posted 6 September 2005 Why didnt he tell the truth and say its been great to sit back, do nothing and still get paid 5 grand a week?- I know what you think... I'd like to have that money in my bank account too!!! But I don't think that would be the full truth, in his case. I have talked to him briefly a few times over the last few months. He seemed really depressed about not playing and every time there was even a minor setback. Hardly smiled at all. He only ever smiled when I wished him all the best and to be back to playing soon. Come on Stephen!!!
Hitesh Posted 6 September 2005 Posted 6 September 2005 Yes, I offered to send you the interview. i see....well ill send ya my email addy thru PM!
Guest Posted 6 September 2005 Posted 6 September 2005 I don't know what you mean genetic here, but I was fine after I adjusted my expectations of what he "should" sound like. I have an 'ear' for the accent, but I am of Scottish descent you see. One of our sales reps is from Glasgow, and his accent is particularly tame, but people here reckon they "can't understand a bloody word"!
Louise Posted 6 September 2005 Posted 6 September 2005 I have talked to him briefly a few times over the last few months.

So you've spoken to him in real life but you can't understand his interview?
The People's Hero Posted 6 September 2005 Posted 6 September 2005 I really hope we don't rush him back and risk injuring him again ...
cisono Posted 6 September 2005 Author Posted 6 September 2005 So you've spoken to him in real life but you can't understand his interview? That's right... that's what I find really strange myself!!!
cisono Posted 6 September 2005 Author Posted 6 September 2005 I have an 'ear' for the accent, but I am of Scottish descent you see. One of our sales reps is from Glasgow, and his accent is particularly tame, but people here reckon they "can't understand a bloody word"! Ah, so a question of both "nature" and "nurture" ... You have both in your favour there. No wonder!!! When I was in Stirling a few years back, I had to change my car tyres. Went to a garage and this 15-year-old was speaking at length to me. I couldn't understand a word ... that is, in trying to understand him, I was mostly guessing. So I had to use a lot of "So you are saying that I would be better off changing all the tyres?" directed towards the older guy, whose accent was a little bit more "standard". He would then confirm or whatever. An English friend (also somewhat puzzled) was looking on (mostly laughing). I did get my tyres in the end. Luckily
cisono Posted 6 September 2005 Author Posted 6 September 2005 I really hope we don't rush him back and risk injuring him again ... You have a point there. That would be devastating... for him and us!
