Which is why I think this one for Sunderland, you know, felt...
felt so important and actually Kelly the other thing is I always find as a commentator it was the first time I'd seen Sunderland live that season and you hear all this talk about how well they're playing and how they're doing it and Robin Roof's in goal and Xhaka in midfield alongside Siddiqui but when you actually see it play out live and you come away and you think yeah no I get that I can see they are a really good outfit so yeah it was it was good to bear witness to
Yeah, the goal from Soboslai.
I remember, if I'm thinking of the right game here, John, that Haaland penalty came after a very confusing set of events, didn't it?
Where Manchester City, it was that one, wasn't it?
Where the ball ended up in the back of the net but the goal wasn't landed.
so that's that's that's the point I was going to make Kelly is I remember listening to that I was in the car on the way back from somewhere and thinking this is amazing radio you know I was absolutely gripped but I was also thinking as a commentator I was trying to get you know the picture in my mind of what had happened and
And John was doing that brilliantly.
But as he described it, I thought, that can't be right.
That cannot have... I've never heard of anything.
Then I remember thinking, I'm really glad that's not me doing that.
I'm really enjoying listening to this.
Because it's one of those, isn't it?
Whereas I think if you're watching that game on the telly with a beer in your hand on a Sunday afternoon...
you'd probably be talking yourself through, oh yeah, no, I see what's... and you can think aloud like that.
But as a commentator, you've got to think aloud, talk aloud, and try and explain to everyone what's happened.
And it was amazing radio, but I do remember thinking...
I'm quite glad that wasn't me.
No, no, I was going to say, quite an insight though, Jonny.
So that note you've just read out there of what happened, when did you write that down?
