St Landrew Posted 12 December, 2009 Share Posted 12 December, 2009 Saw his earlier today and wasn't going to post it at all. But we're all posting video links, ATM. So then I thought I would post this in the General Sport section. But I've no real interest in football that's not Saints related, so you'd better start watching this video about 7 minutes and 35 seconds in: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/football_focus/8409567.stm Fellow mods, move it to General Sports if you think it isn't worth keeping it here just for 30 seconds of references to you-know-who.

Red Alert Posted 12 December, 2009 Share Posted 12 December, 2009 Nice to see Matt Le Tissier is a big influence on Bulgarian children. Also, my gosh Alan Shearer is a rubbish tv presenter/interviewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopGun Posted 13 December, 2009 Share Posted 13 December, 2009 Nice to see Matt Le Tissier is a big influence on Bulgarian children. Also, my gosh Alan Shearer is a rubbish tv presenter/interviewer. He's very aggressive as an interviewer there. Needs hints from Lineker about TV style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Thomas7 Posted 13 December, 2009 Share Posted 13 December, 2009 Seems more of an interogation than an interview!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 14 December, 2009 Share Posted 14 December, 2009 (edited) He's very aggressive as an interviewer there. Needs hints from Lineker about TV style. As someone who has spent half-a-lifetime teaching English to foreigners, I'd agree with that. Firstly, A.S. is TOO fast in putting his questions, and the build-up was too long for Berbatov to grasp sometimes. I had a chuckle when he said Berbatov spoke " perfect English " ..coming from some one like AS - thats a laugh. IMHO Berbatov came over as a very pleasant guy, but with limited vocabulary and a bit of difficulty in grasping English grammar (but, that's not unusual). Although Shearer's Saints career was fairly short,(I had a great admiration for him as an England player,) but, he needs to leave the " dressing-room style " vocab. behind him and focus on a watching/ listening TV public when interviewing people. I agree that Lineker has a good media-style and hopefully Alan will get a few tips. Being an " Expert" commentator is a real curse in any field,) but TV bosses must learn the difference, when picking " legendary / star players " and their ability to communicate in words of more than two syllables. Should we expect to have Wayne Rooney as an " expert " commentator (say) in 10 years time ? ..I hope not for everyone's sake..........(still I'd prefer listening to Shearer than Hansen any day !)

so22saint Posted 14 December, 2009 Share Posted 14 December, 2009 So, when we return to the Prem, if we offer Berbatov the number 7 shirt he'll jump at it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
