Barber's dirty laundry aired

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

BBC America's soccer preview show today featured a warm and fuzzy piece about the life of a premier league ref...featuring Graham Barber. I couldn't help but giggle at the cheesiness of watching him make his morning coffee, wash his kit, go to his consulting job, work out, and attend the ref's camp, as he lives his 'boyhood dream'. A cheesy piece made even funnier by him having the screen presence of a piece of lint. The piece ended with him heading out the door....to Newcastle for tomorrow's match. To be fair, he does seem a decent enough guy, but he really doesn't have much hope as a television presenter. ;-))

In the 9 games he's reffed for us we have amassed the grand total of 4 points, all away from home.

I watched it this evening and I see what you mean about him being wooden. He makes Keanu Reeves look talented in front of the camera!
