This may seem trivial to some. So I’m watching the Matty Johns podcast.(not really into it, but the convo they were having hooked me in). So there’s Johns, Finchy, and Kent. Now Kent was talking about Peter Frilingos and some of the old journos and such. And it was a really good yarn, but mainly just between Kent and Matty, who was also telling stories about the hate Warren Ryan and chippy had for each other. And this must’ve gone on for 15 minutes. The whole time Finchys listening and paying attention. Then they turn to hall of fame, finally Matty brings Finchy into the convo asking him about playing with Ruben Wiki. And off Finchy goes (but not in his dick head role he usually plays, it was good stuff). About now I can’t help but notice Kent has got his phone out, scrolling, reading, and pretending to listen. And he keeps going. By now I’m yelling at Kent, ‘put your bloody phone down and show some respect!’. It became obvious to Finchy, and he tapped him on the arm jokingly to try and get his attention as he was talking. By now the conspiracy theorist in me started thinking there must be some bad blood between the two because of Kent giving it to the Storm, and Finchy (disgustingly ) backing them.
But no, Matty takes over, and bugger me if Kents still at it. He’d throw in a laugh on cue, but kept scrolling on his fkn phone.
It was all good when he was talking about his journo days, then once it turned to blokes actually playing more than one game of footy, he totally brushed them. I know I sound like a cranky old bastard, but f*ck it gave me the shiits. Disrespectful, arrogant, and just plain rude. .......Rant over
