Get subbed off and expect to be interviewed when all you want to do is stick the microphone up the manager's arse.
The interviewing of subs after they've just come off is ridiulous and completely uncessary. I like the idea of interviewing managers just after HT though and the dressing room broadcasts.
The subs interviews are going to get boring very quickly. They’ll all basically say nothing “I’m not sure, it happened really quickly and I’ve not seen a replay yet “ “Yeah the boys are still pushing. I’m confident if they keep going they’ll get another opportunity and next time they’ll score it” “It’s a little sore but we won’t know until later on after the game how bad it is” Half time interviews either managers could be interesting better though; I remember Alex Ferguson used to do them right at the end of HT in Champions League games
American sports stars, and Americans in general, seem to have inbuilt media training, able and willing to talk to reporters on-camera. The average English footballer would be unable to speculate on the state of the current game, or to pontificate on the style of play being used, beyond 'It was a game of two halves', and/or " We're going to stuff this lot"
Not at all interested in watching interviews with substituted players. I hope they spoil it by using expletives to explain how upset they are at being subbed off, or by giving monosyllabic answers.
So so sad. Easy to forget that driving a car is the most dangerous thing most of us will ever do. RIP
It’s one of those things where if you take a few steps back and actively explain it (let’s say to an alien) - it sounds crazy. Strap yourself into a metal box and move around at often several dozen miles and hour with lots of other people in metal boxes at the same time I think I thought about this recently when I got a bit in my head about going back scuba diving - another objectively mad thing to do when you think about The driving thing just becomes so par for the course. I was talking to someone last night who talked about how both him and his dance partner didn’t drive and my instant thought was “how strange”. When I guess it isn’t really This news is awful
Agree, especially when you consider that no matter what safety precautions you take, it may be someone else doing something stupid. Was driving the other day (single carriageway) and saw a driver swerve into my lane, he was looking down at his lap so I am convonced he was using his phone. As he looked up and saw me he swerved back and a serious accident was avoided.
For me, there is not enough ongoing "driving education" particularly here in.Spain where guys like to drive at speed on curvy roads far in excess of what is safe. I would like the police to come down hard on speedsters.
So Jota joins Reyes and Cunningham of footballers who have unfortunately died due to driving at high speed. And all on Spanish roads!!
I try to avoid driving at night, here on the mainland, simply because so many roads don’t even have cat’s eyes. The road from the AP7 to the entrance of my urbanisation is about 3kms and has dips in the road that can give a false impression of it being safe to overtake, when the reality is that a car can suddenly appear from out of the dip. If drivers take notice of the roadside signs and the road markings it shouldn’t be a problem but I have seen occasional near misses. Not saying this was a contributing factor to the Jota accident but reports are that an overtaking manoeuvre was being made and photos of the scene indicate that the car just seemed to run off the opposite side of the road. I have to say that over the many years I have been driving in Spain the speed of cars in my area seems to have dropped, in general.
