It's their solution to people not being able to hear the tannoy in other areas. It's like they put a two year old in charge of explaining acoustics when the people next door can't hear your telly.
Yes it was this Saturday, I think. Because I think the last home again at half tiime someone was speaking to an older woman in her 80s or 90s and it was her first game watching city. I can't remember the fellas name this week. But know he used to be on telly years ago and was actually funny then disappeared then started doing his thing for city. He has been funny at city at times. But having watched him on TV years ago and at city, for me his Alan Partridge esq routine is wearing a little thin. I can even take that but this week weren't right. Not even Chubby fucking brown would have gone there like he did.

I like Mike McClean, although I do think he’s overstepped the mark a little bit sometimes and taken the humiliation thing a touch too far.
However, on Saturday I don’t think he was trying to humiliate that lad. It was clearly an emotional occasion for that lad and I think Mike was just trying to make it special for him, I don’t think he was trying to take the piss out of him at all.
It was a bit uncomfortable when he asked him to give his mum a hug. Some people obviously aren’t comfortable with that kind of thing, and it seemed to be that way with the lad and his mum. Perhaps the fact it was on the big screen made it more uncomfortable for them.
But I don’t think when Mike asked him to give his mum a hug that he was doing it to humiliate him in order to get laughs. I think he was trying to make it a nice moment, but because the son and his mum weren’t very comfortable with it, it made it a bit awkward. I don’t think there was any malicious intent at all.

Yep, McClean, that's it. I said Keegan, apologies, confusing him with that turd from the Mail.
And yes, his act was bang out of order on Saturday, humiliating people who won't have that thick skin.

Keegan went to United least 12 years ago. He's a big red so better off there anyway.

Mike is a mate of mine - a decent lad and a true blue.
After years of complaint about the old one, I was told by a fellow supporter the have put in a new system which is even louder than the old one DOH.
