Lawrie Mac and Cloughie spoke well and sensibly.
Doug Weatherall talking utter guff as per normal.

50 years on and most of what was said is still relevant today.

“You’re a big club if you have a lot of fans coming through the turnstiles……”

Surprised you’ve shared this Capy.

To me he looks more like a young Hugh Laurie.

A hotbed is one of those things that you only get of football. You wouldn't get a hotbed of golf for example. You wouldn't describe France as a hotbed of cheese.

I remember Robbie Savage saying the north east wasn’t a hotbed and getting pelters. Funny how Cloughie says it and it seems to make more sense.

Yes I was thinking that but it’s close between the two

Damn, could Doug Weatherall have been any more myopic?

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Thanks for posting that

He hated us snd didn’t really hide it.

I’ve mentioned this before but I remember his comment before one of our cip final appearance when he said as a young journalist he was always told Middlesbrough will never win anything.

I’ve never forgot that.

as a young journalist he was always told Middlesbrough will never win anything.

He must have been talking to a Boro fan

He must have been talking to a Boro fan

But what a thing to say on the eve of a cup final.

It was just how dismissive he was as if this isn’t for the likes of Middlesbrough just utter contempt.

 

[Glover_elbow]

Weatherall loved Sunderland he couldn't hide it.

50 years on and most of what was said is still relevant as dull and pointless today.

Sorted.

Just to show that the present doesn't have a monopoly on this nonsense. Other than a mild nostalgia hit it was 15 minutes wasted.

Ha ok. One of the greatest managers of all time talking about his native north east and it was 15 minutes of your time wasted. We obviously view football very differently.
