Morison sounds like someone who is on crack.

When I was younger I'd have loved a job in football. Did a stint doing Mariners World, as it was then, asking players and managers all the 'friendly' questions but still many of them would get quite prickly.

I did commentary for Compass FM one night at Macclesfield after they were left short staffed. We lost 1-0 and Mike Newell was in a horrible mood.

Had to do the post-match interview.

It was awful. I didn't realise I'd be doing it (I was just filling in; no one warned me). We didn't have a second mic, so we had to use the one I had, but it was attached to my headphones so I had to take them off and hold them out while he answered.

Proper amateur hour (yeah, I know, who'd have guessed!).

I do admire journalists who interview managers after games when they're clearly frustrated or upset. I'll always side with the journalists because it's their job to ask the questions the fans want answering.

I do agree with a poster above, in that a lot of reporters these days editorialise, and go round the houses before asking what could've been a very simple question.

I was also taught not to ask yes/no questions, and I get frustrated by how many still do this.

But the managers should know that they're going to get asked difficult questions. If they can't handle a mild bit of questioning by a local journalist then how the hell are they going to stand up as a football manager when so many more are scrutinising them?
