Finnegan Posted 14 August 2014 Posted 14 August 2014 You wanted him to finish a 10k race, have a mic shoved abruptly in his face and have him recite Chaucer? Just be glad it wasn't "for sure." (I hate you, Felipe Masa.)

Nalis Posted 14 August 2014 Posted 14 August 2014 I guess its just something to say to give a second or two to think about your response. Suppose you cant criticise Massa too much given that English isn't his first language. Hard to beat Stevie G's 'Eeeeeeeeh' before every q in my view.

It's called 'hedging' if my A Level English serves me right.
MrSpaM Posted 14 August 2014 Posted 14 August 2014 It's a bit like when big Wes says either 'urrrr' or 'yeh definitely' before answering any question.
purpleronnie Posted 14 August 2014 Posted 14 August 2014 Reminds me of darren bent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnGL6ve_Dz8 Peoples personalities seem to evaporate when a camera is on them.
Samilktray Posted 14 August 2014 Posted 14 August 2014 Or Carragher/Gerrard saying "Erm" in that horrible accent.
Stadt Posted 15 August 2014 Posted 15 August 2014 I watched an interview with Jermaine Defoe once and started counting how many times he said "y'know" it got to 55 or something just as ridiculous
FoxesAreBlue Posted 15 August 2014 Posted 15 August 2014 It's because their mind is in overdrive trying to remember their shitty media training - and they're probably fvcked from the sport they finished competing in a few seconds ago.

I think media training is actually to blame, they seem incapable of just being normal whilst being interviewed, they all turn into robots, they just can't be themselves instead they give tedious monotonous answers, it's as if media training has brainwashed them. No idea why media training is needed anyway.
Vacamion Posted 15 August 2014 Posted 15 August 2014 No idea why media training is needed anyway. I remember fondly Micah Richards first BBC post match interview a few years ago...

No idea why media training is needed anyway.This.When I worked at LCFC I saw the books on media training they gave to the academy players and they were quite substantial things. That's what all interviews with sports people are the same. It's not about individual goals, it's about collecting 3 points... There's no easy game in this league... We're taking it one game at a time... They're so shit scared about saying something negative about their employers and getting a bolloking that it's just shit to watch. As it happens now, even the company I work for forbid us from talking to the press - we refer them to head office for absolutely everything.
