Theres no need for any of it. More often than not we’ve watched the highest quality football any of us have seen in our lives. So just put some music on and the highlights on the screen and let us chat about the game. Its all pointlessly cringe

Yes, I saw that. Do you mean the young fella who’s dad had passed away when he was 15 or thereabouts?.
It was obvious the poor guy was either unwilling or, more likely, unable to take part in any kind of “banter,” yet, Keegan kept him up there, like a rabbit caught in the headlights, for what must’ve seemed like forever, when it was clear for all to see that the lad would’ve preferred to be anywhere else in the world, at that particular time, than on that stage.-let alone giving out hugs.
Uncomfortable watching indeed.

I think McLean is great. Some thin skinned people if you think he's really taking the piss or being crude. Must have been watching the Generation Game from behind the sofa.

Too right mate
Oh too hear again, Free’s Alright Now,Groovin’ with Mr Bloe, & Mary Hopkin played constantly, back to back from 1:30 onwards, on match days. (I have my suspicions, if I’m honest, that those were the only 3 records that the club, or possibly Vince himself, possessed at that time, although to be fair, the collection was updated, in later years, to include Wishing well & No matter what, by Free & Badfinger respectively.
You can keep your pyrotechnics & all that sh*t.
Those definitely were the days.
If they put music on, the people in level 3 would not be able to chat, as it would be so loud that they would not be able to hear the person next to them.

Has the sound level got even louder this season? Me and my grandma have noticed this aswell. It's just pointlessly loud. I don't need to hear about Chinese toy robots at maximum volume.
He was crude. I got the back end of it. If I'm right I think someone was attending with his mum .I think and apologies in advance if I've got it wrong, but I think the lads father might have died or passed away and he did not get him the chance to go to a game with him. I cant remember verbatim what was said but the tone of Keegan was all wrong and fuckin awful. I switched off mentally as I couldn't bear to listen anymore. I'm up for satire or black comedy anytime but there is a time place and context for it to be effective. Saturday was not it. Repeat it was fuckin awful and I'm glad some fans picked up on it.

Keegan left years ago. You don't mean this Saturday, do you? Sorry, might just be the wording.

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.

However, It was still in shockingly poor taste,

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.
