Unbelievable view of the sending off

[alcoblade]

WTF?

 

[8lade]

This guy needs to be on Radio Sheffield.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Move over Benjamin Bloom, there’s a new guy in town!

 

[LJBlade]

I assume that’s you on the video?

 

[Westran]

I assume that’s you on the video?

No that isn't me. I just stumbled across it on YouTube and had to share.

[Westran]

WTF?

Exactly my thoughts. Unbelievable stuff. Who is this guy?!

 

[RedandWhite]

I've seen his tackle on YouTube, looks more of a red than I first thought. He does go in with two feet and does hit the guys shin aswell as the ball.

 

[TJB.]

I've seen his tackle on YouTube

I think you mean RedTube there, pal.

 

[broomhillblade]

'Social media' has a lot to answer for.

 

[itsinyerblood]

I know, this is the guy who does the pig's transfer dealings.

 

[Blade56]

He'd be a good replacement for the Pigs pundit

 

[Broomhall Blade]

What i particularly like about this video other than the guys over the top enthusiasm, is the way he has used random pieces of foam packaging on his wall, who needs Ikea.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Na na na naa He's a Blade and he's a Blade

 

[BigBed]

Did you find this whilst cruising the "Darkweb"???

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Wondered what Mike McCarthy looked like.

I don't want to destroy the magic but I think one possible explanation of this is that it's auto-generated content.

Somebody somewhere is trying to farm youtube Views etc and the attendant revenue, and it's quite likely the same video has been uploaded thousands of time each with different captions.

It may well be that it's part of a gradual process of machine learning: whatever gets the most interest is included in the next version. The fact that it cropped up in the recommended feed of OP means it's already had some relative success. And now we've all watched it.

The content - either this or a few iterations down the line - doesn't have to make any sense, it just has to game the algorithm and generate revenue.

I've no idea what all that means, but I think you're right. Still funny though.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

What the chuffing hell was that?!

I wonder if he has got more hits that the Progressive Alternative........

 

[Greenwich Blade]

Number 6 in the Rock Show Chart with over 200 listens, my Christmas Special!

Just shows how little Darwin knew when shit like this comes to the fore.

Maybe humanity has evolved as far as possible and is now in a race back into the swamp.

 

[Champagneblade]

Speaks 5 words of English but Wilder still has a better rapport with him than the new Radio Sheffield bloke!

I'm taking this video far too seriously, but as it's come up...

I've no idea if the reference to Darwin is deliberate but I'm pretty sure it is pertinent: Machine Learning is basically a kind of natural selection. The program is let loose on whatever project its designed to tackle and the version that does the best survives, adapts, and evolves.

OP is the equivalent of a five-legged dog: a mutation with no chance of persisting, but somewhere sometime some version of its "genes" may well evolve and produce income for its "parents".

(Also, as I understand it evolution isn't the same as progress: it's just adapting to fit the environment. The fittest doesn't mean the healthiest, it's just the ones that fit in the best, for now. From the point of view of evolution humans aren't more advanced than, say, jellyfish - and, it seems pretty certain that jellyfish will be around a long time after the last human.)

This sort of barmy video was a Big Thing on the internet at the end of 2017, and I ended up going down that rabbit-hole.

I have taken this opportunity to share those findings with the world. I hope everyone's duly grateful.

 

[Snowman]

Abso bloody lutely brilliant. Don't watch it.
