glastonred Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I know that footballers are fond of cliches and catchphrases, but has anyone counted just how many "to be fairs" Andre Amougou used in his recent interview? Seemed to be every sentence had at least two mentions. It seems to be a common expression for footballers - wasn't Bradley Orr also fond of peppering his conversations with it?

nickolas Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Sounds like Peter Withe, ex Villa. I once heard an interview 2 mins long when he managed to fit 'to be fair' in 32 times!!! In fairness to most Pro's, if they dont fit the obligatory 'to be fairs' or the Kevin from Bedminster 'ya knows', i think they'd get stuck for anything to say tbh!!

eastonboy Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 It's the last resort of a weak mind. They struggle to speak publicly and therefore use these cliches as a means to pause and gain enough time to think of two more words before slipping in the next obligatory catchphrase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendip City Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 It's the last resort of a weak mind. They struggle to speak publicly and therefore use these cliches as a means to pause and gain enough time to think of two more words before slipping in the next obligatory catchphrase I think thats as much to do with the bland, retentive nature of most interview questions...

Mucker, if he helps keep us up with outstanding performances, he can have first dibs at my missus whilst singing Klingon for all I care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
