JCH Interview

blueatheart · December 27, 2013

Firstly, what idiot can't even chop the start of a video clip off but Christ Gordon, JCH is in front of you!

Secondly, he comes across as think as pig :censored:, which he probably is, but I really think he has some proper passion not just for football but for Oldham.

I look forward to watching him develop.

OAFC_Ryan · December 27, 2013

They left it in on purpose, hence the video description.

the_mighty_bosh · December 27, 2013

I discovered from a mate at Uni that, no matter how smart you actually are, the Cov accent will make you sound thick! :aplayer1:

Stevie_J · December 27, 2013

Johnson has indicated that JCH had a very difficult upbringing, so it's not really surprising that he's not the most articulate kid in the world.

blueatheart · December 27, 2013

I was watching it on the FL app, it just said JCH COVENTRY FINAL.

It's good that he recognises his faults though, or at least has had them pointed out. I thought he was going to lamp Rooney at one point yesterday and Korey have him a right earful.

Let's hope that he'll mature becuase he will be a hell of a player in five years time if he does.

Thirdly he is more gifted than many of us on this board at playing football, we all have different gifts and just because we aren't

articulate Oxbridge types doesn't mean that we are " think as pig :censored:".

oldhamains · December 27, 2013

Wow, harsh! Give the lad a break

PatchLatics · December 27, 2013

I thought he came across quite well myself. Was expecting much worse. I like him.

LeylandLatic · December 27, 2013

Same here. I thought he seemed very nervous at the start but certainly much more articulate than I was expecting. Nice to hear a footballer actually just say what they think rather than the boring media taught rubbish you normally get.

IceStationLatic · December 27, 2013

I was impressed too..

He's a footballer.........!

He had points of view and put them across. He didn't just speak in cliches.

Rather than just make a harsh snap judgement based a strong regional accent (which I'm sure never happens to anyone from Oldham...!), look beyond that and listen to what he's actually saying.

I know it's a totally different scenario and context, with it being a nice touch from Baxter not celebrating his goal.................................................

But I absolutely LOVE it that JCH said he'll celebrate against Cov!

This lad has come on leaps and bounds in such a short time, and is a real threat out on the pitch. He's a yound lad that has had a microphone thrust into his face, and that would make anyone nervous. I thought he came over very well in the interview. Just like he has done on the pitch he will get better with the media side of things. Keep up the good work Jonno.

no1laticsfan · December 27, 2013

Can anyone put the interview on here?

HarryBosch · December 27, 2013

?

I thought he spoke very well

rosa · December 27, 2013

Thought he came across as really confident and enthusiastic. Didn't think he sounded 'think' at all.

And anyone could confuse him and Lee Johnson.

Nohairdontcare · December 27, 2013

What a random attack on a young lad making his way in football.

I think he comes across very well - and agree with earlier poster who said it's a welcome change to hear a player speak openly without the cagey lines most throw out every day of the week.

bpmarko · December 27, 2013

I'd say that that post speak more towards your own intelligence than anything else.

lalalajpkalala · December 27, 2013

Cheers for that Mr Hawking.

Wardie · December 28, 2013

Not such a well thought-out post.

I hope that you re-read it and come to the same conclusion as the rest of us.

Lukers1 · December 28, 2013

I think the term thick as pig :censored: sits closer at your front door,

opinions4u · December 28, 2013

I was raised in middle class suburbia.

My Dad worked in an office as a senior manager. My Mum taught in a primary school in middle class suburbia.

There's no doubt that it protected me from some of life's nastier side. There's also no doubt that my parents, despite good intentions, harboured prejudice against those from poorer backgrounds and would label them accordingly. Doubtless some of this has rubbed off on me, but I'd like to think I've allowed my life to educate me further.

For twenty years I've worked face to face with the general public. I've met piss poor people with remarkable intelligence and the filthy rich who can indeed be thick as pig :censored:. And every combination in between.

It's clear that it's presumptuous to judge intelligence on looks, background, area lived in or just about anything else. Judge the words and actions.

I've not seen the JCH interview. I can't comment on what others have seen. But real people often surprise.

Lags · December 28, 2013

Snob value OP. I have a theory about those that bang on about their own brilliance.........it's due to no one else actually seeing it.

I don't care a jot if JCH can spell, speak well or add up sums, he plays football for a professional club and that's what I judge him on. How well he does his job.

leeslover · December 28, 2013

Seems like a perfectly decent young man to me

maddog · December 28, 2013

Yep. Thought he came across really well!

jw_oldh857 · December 28, 2013

being a bit thick myself that shouldn't hold him back in life, I've had a great life so far

al_bro · December 28, 2013

He comes across far better than a lot of premier league players. Has anyone listened to the ManU Rooney?
