Lovely little bit of honesty from Micah at the end. Love that.
Micah you've literally called yourself Big Meeks in every episode of this podcast 🤣🤣🤣
Big meeks is on to something there i never understood obsession with golf
An anonymous Dutch guy once said "I'll shtart playing golf when I shtop having shex"
Many dont get the obsession with football. Life.
So what you're saying is, you don't like sport A but prefer sport B. Ok cheers for that information, we can rest easy tonight boys as the information about random CZcams commenters sport preferences are known to us.
Lol it is boring af
Oscar Wilde put it best - Golf, a decent walk spoiled.
I'm with Big Meeks. Golf is shite 😂
It just spoils a nice walk
@@mikeryan4055 LOL
Golf,rugby,cricket all boring sports
@@jrothweldo7 yup. Tory sports 😭😂
@@jrothweldo7 how is rugby boring? it definitely isn't in the same category as golf and cricket those are proper snorefest
Brilliant as always chaps...I think you all love doing it so I hope it continues for years to come. Laugh out loud moments and some wonderful anecdotes and incites into a world 99.9% of us will never have seen. Keep it going, makes my week (and others I'm sure).
the last great chips i saw were all messis. the one against betis where he chipped the keeper from the outside box was an insane goal.
Cavani chip was great too when the crowd returned to old Trafford.
Love u boys u give mi jokes.brightens up my day 😅
Big Meeks ❤ Love his honesty in the end there.
Thanks for reminding me the Golf is on, I have some paint I need to watch dry!
I have some already dried paint, less drama, but just as exciting.
You won't have that black card for long big meeks, you're not allowed to say you have one, lots of celebs had them taken away once publicly saying they have them😅
Quick, everyone round Big Meeks' for dinner 🍗
This would be so much better in a studio
Golf, easiest to learn but hardest to master.
Great episode guys
I also agree with Big Meeks, watching golf is so boring. It's not that bad to play with friends though. Loving the Podcast, keep up the great work guys.
A big issue I have with VAR and offside that not many people talk about is if there’s a goal and a player is exactly level and they are checking it for a good 5/10 minutes, quite often they will overturn it but if it’s taking that long to check it they should just reward a goal, maybe put a time stamp on VAR.. 2 minutes tops then make a decision
Shong sheet… I’m dead 😂
You guys make me laugh so much. Your show is amazing and fun to watch.
VAR was used perfectly last night and how it’s supposed to be used - shows how had a job Howard Webb is doing that getting worse under his stewardship - wasn’t fussed by results but actually enjoyed both games last night while ive often turned off prem games this year as to many long stoppages
Gary burying Alan with that match ball joke, i'm dying LMAO 😂
That was a wonderful answer, al
Have to respectfully disagree with Gary on the reasoning for why chip shots are less now. I think its mostly because the team as a whole is more systematic and that results in better defending which lets the keeper sit back more.
This was a classic boys,the segways to Micky taking was 😂😂, hilarious 👍,keep it coming and YES I'm definitely up for a POD of your personal trophies IE GARY'S golden boot (omg)86 Mexico AH I remember it well,we won't be able to see BIG AL for all his hatrick balls and MICAH🤔 JOKE😂
I always felt Micah gave himself the nickname never really heard anyone else call him that other than when jokinh around when he’s mentioned it previously
great show chaps ..
Brilliant😎
coming shortly to a shop near you,Big Meeks merchandise 😂
I remember Alan chipping Rene Higuita against Columbia and hitting the bar in the same game famous for Higuita's 'scorpion' kick.
Possibly my favourite goal ever was a chip…cantona vs Sunderland in 96. Sublime goal
17:38 Improvements in technology will ultimately herald more correct dicisions. i.e. there will be chips in boots, pitch, pitch-side sensors etc.
Im not a big fan of golf but 1 thing i do like about it, not many sports you can play you your dad and your grand dad and it be fun and competitive but golf you can
My grandads dead so no I can't do that.
I think you mean bowls or darts or pool - file it next to those sports haha. I love the sentiment though
😂😂😂 these lot are absolutely hilarious 😂😂 bless them …👊🏽
Get in touch with Tubes and get on Golf life Shearer! 👍🏽
It's about time we had a 'Sub-sport' division, comprising of 'sports' that; A. Aren't really sports & B. Were once exciting. I.e. Golf, Snooker, Darts etc.
Micah with a Nando"s black card. He really will burst onto the scene👍
Lets hope he feeds the homeless with it. He has enough money to buy several Nandos restraunts himself !
"Burst on the seams" of his belt more like
"Never had a better chance" - been listening to English media say this every Euros n World cup since 1995
Do you disagree with them this time?
@@gobsmack84 no
Bet Gary's got a shrine in his attic.... All his hat trick balls, matchday shirts and photos of himself
Definitely !
Yesterday i was seeing a post about Xabi Alonso, where he said his kid asked him if he knew Cristiano Ronaldo... be awesome to know if you lots kids ever asked a similar question
Didnt know there was a little Meeks! Has he got his dad's sunny disposition and infectious laugh? 😂
I only know about the name Big Meeks because of Micah Richards! 😂😂😂
Schmeichal loved a chipped goal
Straight to the point shearer
Big Meeks, golf is life.
27:50 ffs 😂😂😂
Thank you for the show and sharing your thoughts. I recently watched the Will Smith film Concussion. Simplistically put it the brain is jelly and separated from the skull which is relatively delicate by floating in a liquid - then how is heading the ball not spoken about in the same breadth as other ills that do harm to our bodies?
“Other chickens are available…” callback to “other gins are available“?
Please get platty on...he was my childhood hero
The best chip EVER was philippe albert over Schmeichel in the 5.0. Albert's face as he was running away celebrating was hilarious.
Defo…..TOON ARMY!!! ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️
Perez Vs leicester
Not sure about linekers theory about smaller keepers, if anything I'd say they're generally smaller now, but probably nothing in it overall. Not convinced they stand closer to the line either, if anything, I'd have suspected the opposite. I wonder if it's been coached out to some extent, coaches generally encourage a standard shot rather than a chip, Back in the day I think strikers were more imaginative with the finishing, its all based on percentages now.....ps Ian Wright vs Yeovil town
Robin Williams (God rest his soul) perfectly describes golf on Parkinson..... That's be best way to understand golf!🤣
Player of the match/month 😂
What VAR needs is like in tennis, once you've had your allocation of 3 uses then you have no more left to use for the rest of the game
Best pod on the internet🫡
Schmeichel is 1.93m or 6ft 4 Gary!
How can I ask a question? / I've got aa good one!!
When I lived in England, all the girls on dating apps had "just looking for a guy with a Nando's black card" in their profile
6ft 4 is peter schmeichel
VAR works well most of the time in most other sports and has had a positive impact. If you remember in the Russia World Cup it worked amazingly well.....I think we just need to find the correct balance
Just need Putin running it, you mean?😂
VAR: Ze last attacker vos off side! No goal!
Ref: OK thanks, free kick then?
VAR: Nyet, take him away and shoot him.
Ref:...er, you sure about that?
VAR: in your pocket you have a red card, a yellow card, and a Glock 9 mm. It's not for show.
@@jeremywilliams5107 Putins got a German accent?
Var is awesome, imagine arenal getting a penalty yesterday if there was no VAR, ridiculous ... It will get better with time .
I don’t get why people want to get rid of VAR it’s got a lot more right than it has wrong, yes it’s slowed the game down in a few moments but I’d take that if it meant we got the correct outcome of a goal, my problem lies with the people in charge of it who seem to have no understanding of football, they’re the problem and need proper teaching not the technology itself
Surely a clear and obvious error is one that be decided on within seconds, rather than the minutes it takes for VAR to check multiple angles in slow-motion searching for any sort of infringement
Never knew big Meeks had a little one
And the grand National on Saturday
Big Meeks is the perfect pundit come tv personality etc as hes so likeable and obviously been from the leeds area also helps. Hope he never goes bankrupt as its great when ww hear hes been lording it up in his Ferrari up Chapeltown even though hes now posh living in Harrrrroooogate !!!
gary listing the good things about golf and they all relate to playing and not watching XD
Micah’s about to go from bursting onto the scene to bursting and the seams
On football and the success of footy in the US. There was an interesting article in The Atlantic about this very question a few years ago.
The journalist's conclusion was that there are loads and loads of kids playing it, in little leagues and so on. But there isn't, or wasn't. A clear stream for these talented kids to transition up into junior and senior leagues..
The UK has had about 50 years head start on the US in this regard.. BUT.. With good investment. They could probably move towards consistent tournaments and knockout football in the world cup.
THAT SAID Qatar were shocking in the WC. And to nobody's surprise. Right now, they're doing alright. Stranger things have happened.
In the context of _watching_ golf, the explanations were "it can be a beautiful walk", and "it's a bit like a flower show." Not super convinced.
Golf required money growing up. And, like any sport that required stuff, and memberships, and a dress code, I couldn’t afford it. Got the cheapest set of “Regal” clubs from cash n carry - which was a big deal for my mum - got laughed at by posh boys. Didn’t go back.
Football was free, now I need to pay for my kids to play for their team. Fundraising constantly for them, to make it affordable for us, and other parents.
The first question shouldn't of but it actually pissed me off 😅 the only time golf is watchable is when the ryder Cup is on, even the lads know that because they said they love it then only talk about playing it....
Var can be great if used to do what it was brought into do. It’s not designed to referee on ever decision. It should be only used for offside, red cards. It should not be used for build up offences etc
Lol I thought they were talking about the football masters with football legends 😂😂
Was the Paul Smith question from the comedian Paul Smith fishing for a job?
Let's not forget the grand National and ufc 300
UFC 300 is absolutely stacked
@mattsmith5421 i know and i can't wait
Grand National totally sucks, it's set in the past and well, I like my Horses alive.
Champions league,darts premier league, UFC 300 grand national and EPL what a week
Wrighty was the king of chips.
Maybe the chip method is in decline due to stats and probability, ie, your less likely to score that way so they don't try as much. Idk, just a thought
Also the week hopefully Yeovil win there first title in 19 years
Other media featuring Micah Richards is also available.
The offside rule plays apart in terms of chipped goals
No mention of the national or Aintree festival?...
Phillipe Albert's chip over Schmeichel in the Howay 5-0 game 😎
VAR appeal system - sounds good in principle, but who would review the (in-game) appeal? If it's the same people who came to the contested decision in the first place then I can't see any appeal being useful - who in their right mind would go against a decision they've just spent several minutes reaching?
Olympic fortnight is best sporting week of the year back to back
Lord Darwin Nunez chipped the keeper vs. Bournemouth
Where do I write to with questions for the experts? :)
Problem with VAR is that it is utterly pointless to rereferee things that are inherently subjective. If it's used for the things that are not subjective it can be fine, otherwise it just intensifies the feeling of injustice as at least before human error was a genuine excuse
I normally love this but never watch it after watching stick to football as it is like watching Robbie savage play football after watching Messi
This podcast is getting so chaotic, it's like a bunch of kids playing video games 😂
T hey are in a lockup in Leicester
What about Freddy ado 🤣🤣🤣
4:09 So, Schmeichel was small? 😂
Alan saying england will never have a better chance. How many times as an england fan have we all said that haha
Didn’t know Micah was a dad!
The obvious missing piece on "why are there no chips any more" is the domination of xG and statistics. The chip is a very low probability shot, so it's coached out of players.
I've also thought that - the great instinctive strikers of the past are being coached out of the game. Huge pity.
Thanks, big Meeks, not sure l can get a black Nandos card 😂
Its more fun with discs.
Micah should call his son Small Meeks or Mini Meeks
I backed Milan Baros at 50/1 fir leading goalscorer the year greece bored it. I think Hungary be a surprise packet this time
70% divorce rate for footballers between 35 and 40 years of age!
Mercenary beatches!
The US is very big (by geography and population) so the challenges are many in getting so good to be top 4 (let alone top) in the world. Football has been big in some places in the US for 50 years or more already. It's not equal interest everywhere for any sport in the US, there are regional preferences. We have youth leagues in just about every state, but the youth development isn't integrated to professional league academies as in England or to our national team set up. Also it's still mostly a pay to play system for elite youth teams, so we don't uplift players solely based on ability, aptitude, and attitude. The pathway to development is opaque. The players we get in the national team are great and are likely better than 95% of known talent but that's not the same as players being the best or most gifted athletes we have. We won't go to the top imo until the youth access to elite coaching and other development recruitment barriers to the national set up are removed.
4:09 most keepers are below 6 foot 5. ederson 6 foot 2, Raya 6 foot, Onana 6 3, Steele 6 2, neto 6 3, Leno 6 2, Dean Henderson 6 2, Pickford 6 1,
The investment although significant shouldn’t be the reason why it can’t be scrapped. It’s not working and its main culprit is the VAR referees. Take the human VAR referee out and just use tech.
Currently VAR tech should be developed without human interpretation. Trigger automated signal to referee when clear and obvious error is made based on FIFA rules. The VAR automatically asks the referee to look at the pitch side screen and make final call.
The wolves offside was absolutely right, who knows whether the keeper could have saved it we obviously can't judge offsides like that, the keeper shouldn't have to move due to the player (nonsense argument) he positions himself to best cover the goal, the player is also preventing him from coming and claiming the cross.
It feels like we are slamming VAR even when the decision is fine, getting annoying to listen to.
Considering micah is everywhere now. It can only be because of his personality.. because as a pundit his insight is on par with Michael owen
I agree with you but he's not the only one it's all about entertainment now and banter which is shameful imo
