Scudamore Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 Just heard that Mick and Lawrie are guests on Keys and Grays show, starting now till 1pm 3 hours of Keys and Gray? No thanks...
MatthewStiles Posted 12 May, 2011 Author Posted 12 May, 2011 Actually, it's Lawrie and Mike Osman. Mike doing some pretty rough impressions, a few of the old memories from Lawrie eg about Alf Ramsey and Alan Ball
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 Awaiting the (probably) inevitable comments about Cortese...
Saint Garrett Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 Quite good listen so far to be fair! Lawrie chatting about Keegan and cup final etc
once_bitterne Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 No. You're right. I think there was a trades description case brought against him.

Saint-Armstrong Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 Interesting, according to Richard Keys, Southampton are "a back-water club" and no praise at all from Lawrie. Nice.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 Keys was just being a pratt. I dont understand what the "no praise at all from Lawrie" is supposed to mean, perhaps you could explain.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 Keys was asking how a sleepy back water club got to sign KK.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 Keys was asking how a sleepy back water club got to sign KK. I see Keys is still stuck in his 'only the 'big 4' are proper clubs' bubble from his Sky days.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 Going backwards, small-time, a club in peril, it's up for you to say. Ironically he was praising Coventry and calling them a big and a great club. McMenemy just sat there and ignored it and when speaking about Saints didn't mention an awful lot.
Berkshire Saint Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 Ironically he was praising Coventry and calling them a big and a great club. Yeah was going to say, bit rich coming from a Coventry fan who are a similar sized club to us.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 McMenemy just sat there and ignored it and when speaking about Saints didn't mention an awful lot. He answered the questions that were put to him, but couldn't get a word in edgeways because of that clown Osman. People can listen and make their own minds up, but to twist what he said into "no praise at all from Lawrie" is a joke. Had he been on there going on about the clubs achievements during his period, he'd have been slagged off for blowing his own trumpet. He was spoken to by Keys and Grey a few weeks ago via the telephone. The show received so many listeners emailing and texting the show asking to hear more from him, that Keys at the time said "we need to get him in".I heard the original show and the phone call to Lawrie. Some Southampton supporters maybe bored with the old stories, but clearly some football supporters aren't. I doubt if there's one neutral who listened today who thought "strange how Lawrie didn't praise Southampton".
Nadia Sllim Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 Does that Knob (knitted arms and body) support Coventry or has he been just sent there?
angelman Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 I tried to listen to it but it was such crap I had to turn it off
Colinjb Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 Does that Knob (knitted arms and body) support Coventry or has he been just sent there? He does. He is about the only thing keeping my town of residence's football club in the limelight. Cov will really struggle next year, so every little helps for them.

I doubt if there's one neutral who listened today who thought "strange how Lawrie didn't praise Southampton". Quite right. Such a shame they wasted the time they could have had with Lawrie by having Osman butt in with his terrible impressions. It was a bit cringeworthy when they tried to get "Mick McCarthy" (Osman) asking Lawrie questions, and Lawrie had to ask who it was supposed to be. Quite a nice story from Lawrie about a story Alan Ball had told him, and maybe the inspiration for Bally while he was manager with us. Alf Ramsay was a London boy but apparently had had elocution lessons to hide his accent, and spoke extremely prim and proper. During England training he called over Bally and Nobby Stiles to speak to him. AR: So, H'Alan and Nobby. Do you h'own a dog? AB & NS: Erm, yes boss. AR: I see. Now, tell me, do you h'throw a stick for your dog? AB & NS: Erm, yes, sometimes. AR: Good, good. Now, does your dog bring you that stick back? AB & NS (confused, thinks AR has gone mad): Yes boss, yes he does. AR: Excellent. Now that is what I want you to do with the football. When we lose the ball I want you two to go and fetch it and bring it to Bobby Charlton.

Quite interesting given that is pretty much what Bally is supposed to have said to our players about MLT, minus the dog analogy.

Evidently Sir Alf didn't like Mrash's style of play and told him in the dressing room before the game "Mr Marsh any of that fancy stuff and I'll pull you off at half time", to which Marsh replied "that's great , we only get an orange at Man City".
Griffo Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 Yeah was going to say, bit rich coming from a Coventry fan who are a similar sized club to us. We're bigger than Coventry.
captainchris Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 Yeah was going to say, bit rich coming from a Coventry fan who are a similar sized club to us. Coventry have a similar sized ground - no money and not many fans - similar sized? - Not any more!

When we lose the ball I want you two to go and fetch it and bring it to Bobby Charlton. Another thing which was special about Bally was the way he turned himself from a "fetcher and carrier" into a class one and two touch midfield Maestro. I'm slightly too young to remember him in his Blackpool days, but my old man couldn't believe how his game changed over the years. Lawrie used to say that in training he would play 2 touch and then 1 touch, Bally would call out "what about 1/2 touch".
Pat from Poole Posted 12 May, 2011 Posted 12 May, 2011 The best Sir Alf story is the one Rodney Marsh tells. Evidently Sir Alf didn't like Mrash's style of play and told him in the dressing room before the game "Mr Marsh any of that fancy stuff and I'll pull you off at half time", to which Marsh replied "that's great , we only get an orange at Man City". Rodney Marsh is a *****, but that is admittedly quite funny.
MatthewStiles Posted 12 May, 2011 Author Posted 12 May, 2011 Mike's impressions weren't in the Rory Bremner class by a long way but it did get quite funny at the end when he interrupted his own impressions to tell people who he was supposed to be. Anyway, fair play to Mike for reminding Andy Gray of the row he had with him before the Newcastle game in 1993 (amazingly Sky had a policy of inviting comedians to be on their panel of pundits so Mike was on Sky for this one). Andy Gray had called Le Tiss a "luxury player". Matt comes on and scores 2 great goals, no make that 1 great goal and 1 one of the greatest goals ever. To be fair to Andy Gray I do remember an article by him before the 1998 World Cup that said Le Tiss should have been in the England squad. Keys then said that (more predictably) Phil Thompson went off on a rant about Matt being a luxury player before a match and rowing with Osman and then in the game Matt scored a hattrick in 20 minutes.
