It tried to be like 90%, 85%.
It wasn't like Appre Match or Mario Rosenstock who does a very funny Roy Keane.

Yeah, to my point about Roy Inahaduk doing 85% of the accent, Steve Coogan went to 100% of Mick McCarthy, and it's like, Mick McCarthy!
And I just couldn't, from the opening scene when the journalist is talking to him, he flashed up on screen and I just laughed, because I was just like, that's Steve Coogan playing Mick McCarthy.
It was funny, but I thought he was better than you guys did.
I do agree with Dave on how he was portrayed,
maybe you'd have quams with that.
But I thought Steve Coogan was... I suppose, yeah, I suppose he kind of was funny.
Maybe he wasn't intended to be.
And in all the set pieces, it's Roy Keane who's given all the good lines to say, really, rather than Steve Coogan.
kind of portraying Mick's qualms about Roy at that stage and wanting to... Like, are you in or are you out?
I thought he did an alright job with that.
No, but is that like... That's one viewpoint, but if you come to it not knowing the story...
how would you judge Mick McCarthy's performance?
Yeah, yeah.
It's hard to do that because you are, you do know the story.

There's obviously us knowing the backstory and we're bringing that perspective, which is good.
And then there's also, what would I think of Steve Coogan's Mick McCarthy if I didn't know anything?
