Title: The press are all c***s - Joe Kinnear Post by: Endie on October 03, 2008, 08:47:37 AM I posted this in the football (soccer) thread, but I think it deserves a wider airing. For background, Newcastle United are a top-level team in Britain, but their rather obsessive and unrealistic fan base, coupled with incompetent owners, eccentric managers and a string of prison-term-violent players make them into an ongoing drama of the funniest sort.
Anyway, they have just hired a manager who hasn't done much for a few years, and nothing successful for even longer, as a short-term stopgap. The press have had a field day, including alleging that the players failed to show up for his training, and revealing that he skipped the first day of his new job. He reacted, on the record, unusually frankly... http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2008/oct/03/newcastleunited.premierleague (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2008/oct/03/newcastleunited.premierleague) Title: Re: The press are all c***s - Joe Kinnear Post by: schild on October 03, 2008, 10:23:54 AM Sounds like someone pk'd his flax.
Title: Re: The press are all c***s - Joe Kinnear Post by: Signe on October 03, 2008, 01:29:23 PM That was lovely! What a good interview. It was very Newcastle-y. I'm surprised someone didn't die.

Title: Re: The press are all c***s - Joe Kinnear Post by: FatuousTwat on October 03, 2008, 01:56:49 PM Isn't this how every interview with the press goes? 20 minutes of whoever they are interviewing cursing at them, then 5 minutes of real interview?
Title: Re: The press are all c***s - Joe Kinnear Post by: Montague on October 03, 2008, 02:05:59 PM That is pure undistilled awesome. I would give anything to read Bill Belichick calling reporters cunts in the papers.
Title: Re: The press are all c***s - Joe Kinnear Post by: Signe on October 03, 2008, 07:58:01 PM Maybe they should get that roly poly singy bald gay boy with tne nutty sunglasses to buy them. You know, the one who bought Chelsea. He can teach them to frolick. You know the bloke. I have a picture of him: (http://i.slickdeals.net/images/smilies2/sheep.gif)
Title: Re: The press are all c***s - Joe Kinnear Post by: Yegolev on October 03, 2008, 07:58:46 PM So, this sort of interview is unusual? I had it in my head that most all UK interviews went like this. Didn't Churchill call Stalin a flaming cunt on radio?
Title: Re: The press are all c***s - Joe Kinnear Post by: Tale on October 03, 2008, 10:34:05 PM that's an awesome transcript
audio recording of the press conference (http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/2008/10/03/audio-hear-joe-kinnear-s-full-unbleeped-uncensored-rant-at-mirror-man-simon-bird-115875-20770121/) Title: Re: The press are all c***s - Joe Kinnear Post by: Amarr HM on October 03, 2008, 11:16:46 PM Thanks for the audio script nice one ;) Ironically he was a TV pundit on Irish television during the World Cup and other assorted international games, was even in the running for Irish national coach not sure what I think of this yet. After listening to the audio it reminds of me of a Clough style outburst.
