Just heard an interview with Harry on RS. Boy does his voice not fit his stature.
 



Off topic but having seen the video…. the defending for his second was just marvellous. One lad drops in to guard the near post (where he could have cleared with ease), but immediately goes and stands behind the goal line instead. Top idea.

Yes, exactly what I thought, not quite in the Mark Lawrenson league, and Don Goodman's another.

I also noticed that Harry kept saying "as I said", before he said it for the first time. Makes a change from "obviously" though, "to be fair".
 
Voices used to break when you were about 12/13 in my day :)

Yes, when I mentioned his age it wasn't really a reflection on his voice. I was thinking of those people who say "he's reached his level in this league" or "this is the best he's going to get", etc.

Whilst on the subject of clichés, why do so many people use the word "struggled" in the wrong way. e.g. "he's struggling with an injury", or "travellers are struggling to get to work"?

And don't get me started on "this moment in time"!

still not as annoying as Aussie cricketers that start every single sentence in an interview with "Look, ...", or Glenn Hoddle's "For sure...".

anyway, Maguire - too slow, and if he can't run at his age then he's got no chance in the (overly imho) athletic modern game.
 
you know , I think you know is my pet hate you know , a lot of footballers you know cant seem to answer any , you know, questions without saying , you know
Alan Brazil deliberately used , without a doubt , to get a catch phrase for media work
 



I remember Ian Marshall of Everton and Oldham having a voice also totally incongruous with his stature too...

I can't stand when players/managers say things like "Your Rooneys, your Lampards, your Townsends" when they could just say "Rooney, Lampard and Townsend." Thank Glen "Glad of the the work" Hoddle for that one.

In the days before Pontius was a pilot, we listened to steam radio, no T.V. just the Stir to provide us with up to date team news. I digress, so back on track . I used to listen to a voice and try to imagine what that person might look like.
Later in life I met some of those faceless "voices" Seldom did their persona live up to my original thoughts about them. Some of the very deepest voices on radio were those of smallish people and vice versa..

In some respects T V spoiled the illusion. My favourite radio voice--- The Man In Black. Off back to my gas lit ghetto to light the candles.. My favourite T.V. voice--- Kylie and I have never heard her speak..

A common, over-used phrase is "without a shadow of a doubt". 'Doubt' doesn't need "a" in front of it. "Without a shadow of doubt" is correct.

Mrs. Thatcher got it right when she said: "Where there is doubt may we bring faith"

... and the classic scholars amongst you will recognise the Latin proverb: "Where there is doubt there is freedom.";)
 
Nothing tops how many times Doyle says "You know" in his thick slow motion Irish accent.
 
still not as annoying as Aussie cricketers that start every single sentence in an interview with "Look, ...", or Glenn Hoddle's "For sure...".

And Chris Waddle's "For me" at the start of every sentence begins to grate about ten seconds into listening to him.
 
Ronnie Moores 'to be fair' is a pain to be fair.

However the winner must surely be David Weirs 'disappointing'

I always thought DW2 sounded like David Moyes. On RS there of course are 4 Scots around at the minute, and when tuning in halfway through an interview, I merely had to ask 'Does this sound like Moyes?' to decipher if it was Weir.
Be interesting to see if, after another defeat or two, Moyes has 'disappointing' in his dictionary.
 



I liked her quote ," where there is hope let us bring poverty, where their is fairness let us bring poll taxes "

I do agree that the poll tax was a nightmare and probably caused more problems than it solved. Having said that, the current rating system, where a few pay to support many non payers seems equally unjust to me.
