Hmm...

I think it's one of those things were if things were going well, we would all laugh and say how good the spirit seems in the dressing room.

But things aren't going well and McKeown is having a stinker of a season.   One of those where he probably should have just kept quiet all round, gives his critics more ammunition to fire at him.

Quoted from Fillipe Noche

That video is a bit embarrassing really. I just don’t get why Macca felt the need to do that, and neither do I understand why the PR department felt it was needed or relevant.

There’s no comedy or banter to it at all.

This young goalkeeper won’t have had any PR features like that before, so early in his career. I hope it doesn’t cheese him off or put him off wanting to be at Town.

I didn’t see Matt Green being spliced into the start of the Payne or LJL video interviews did you?

No need and totally unprofessional on the part of the PR editor for this one.

The bit in bold. No need for it at all - we're in a relegation scrap not a James McKeown self promotion campaign.

Just plain silly from Macca I bet he would love it if he had gone on loan to another club and their keeper did that to him.

It has nothing to do with JM.  He didn't edit the video and certainly didn't post it. Another prime example of shite people doing PR. Nothing that comes out of this club is aesthetically pleasing and boarder on cringe. Straight out the Dale Ladson interview playbook.

But before we go all in on Dale....

What PR training has he had?
When has he ever been given the belief that it's ok to edit out something like that?
When has anyone ever said 'Dale, we trust you to use your initiative on stuff like this'?

It's not shite people.  It's a shite system.  We've given good people crap resources and crap structures to adhere to.  I can pretty much guarantee that any opportunity to act on your own initiative is shot down because there's a culture of micro-management at play and has been for the last 20 or so years.  

It has everything to do with JM ffs, he did it and shouldn't as under the circumstances he's treading a thin line with his many mistakes......It gets worse every time I see it, what on earth was he thinking......

I didn't get what the joke was, what the point of the start of the video was, or why it was needed at this time.  Was it just an editing issue?  Not sure why we couldn't just have a video introducing the new signing.

He was having a laugh with whoever was in the room at the time, as awkward as it was. Doubt he thought for a second it would end up in the video. Whoever edited it thought it would be amusing, bit of self deprecating humour, who doesn't like that? Not sure they judged it right. We move on.

Didn't have my hearing aids in. Did Macca say 'played like sh.ite all season so soon to be ex first team keeper, ex captain'

He shouldn't have said it, I totally agree but should it have made the final cut? Sure as hell not. That lies with the editor.

In reference to the question what training has he had. If the answer is non he shouldn't be our PR Manager simple.
