S'land till I cry

[HughieG]

I watched season 1 to have a laugh and found myself genuinely hating their players... what a bunch of w@nkers....

The 2nd season, dear me.... Stewart Donald and Charlie meth man are a right couple of chancers.... they make ashley look half decent...

Their whole motivation was so gratification and it blew up in their arrogant faces....

Meth man especially is a piece of work....

Your review is spot on, Mick. Not a lot of likeable characters in that series.

Not watched any of it.

Depending how lockdown goes might have to though.

Still think it is hilarious they made one season in the expectation of glory and then the same with the 2nd and both went tits up

True, Jammy. It's amazing television in that regard!

My daughter had seen the first episodes before I did and told me that Methven was David Brent Mark 2.
She wasn't wrong.
That scene where he is explaining his idea to change the music as the teams walk out and encourage an "Ibiza Rave" atmosphere was hilarious.
You could see the thought bubbles coming out of the rest of the "PR Team" - "This bloke's a complete f***in' d***head" - while nodding and trying not to cry!

Kemptown, I was gonna say that the gif I posted of Gervais reminded me of a character he played that Methken is dangerously similar to!

The Ibiza rave is a good example. Another is when he's trying to get the attendance number at half time and flips out at his "assistant". Comes across as someone who's trying to be the intelligent boss, but who's basically just a disrespectful plonker.

Another bit I loved - he has been telling everyone how he has always been a big football fan, then when the fans are singing "Sunlun' till I die" he turn round to his assistant and asks what they are singing.
Reminds me of that bloke in the Fast Show at the game with his picnic basket.
I am expecting him to clench his fist and shout out "Soccer" soon.
