For an episode that was inherently about England's brave boys pulling off the heist of the century in the Azteca up against the thin air and that bloody referee I have to say that latest ep was one of the best cliches eps of all time, a brilliant listen, I'll raise my next psychotically strong Nescafe Gold Blend to it.
So yeah, fair play.
(Hope the episode after Norway pump you is as good 😉 )
Being on the pitch, with your heroes, you are 9, this is everything, you want to walk out and pretend you are John McGinn, in your head thinking ‘one day this could be me!’
You look down and you’re wearing a fucking ‘Mastercard’ or some nonsense strip. A joke.
Imagine turning up in your villa kit for the biggest night of your life and being handed it to get changed into, looking down seeing a paper thin freebie strip you’d expect to see in a bad World Cup advert.
Then years from now an amazing photo of ‘Wee Jimmy’ who actually goes on to make his debut for Villa ruined as he has a stupid oversized, own brand, corporate Kipsta shit fest on in ruining what could be the greatest memory captured.
As a kid, do you even keep it afterwards? Do you get it signed?
It’s irrational. But I hate it.
In my day job I make films about football and sport, so it seemed mad not to do one about my own team.
Shot this on Monday with Colin in the diggers a wee story about becoming the 'choir master', getting voice notes from Derek McInnes and the wee secret motivation that is in his top pocket on the park.
Hope folk like it.
Two games to go. Believe.
A big week ahead…
A good mate of mine is coming up to Edinburgh for a week to shoot a fast turnaround documentary for COPA 90 about the week that might be…
His films are phenomenal…
Watch this one about Argentina winning the World Cup
Anyway he is up for the week and looking to speak to anyone interesting related to the club from the fanbase
So aye if you have any stories, are doing anything out of the ordinary this week or know of someone or somewhere he should be pop it below
He’s looking for pubs to shoot in on Saturday night, assume the usual places around the ground will be busy?
Also if you have any footage or videos that you would be willing to share…
Who knows what happens next…but hopefully it’s worth documenting.
