YouTube ITFC shows - the good and the bad 10:32 - Oct 11 with 1091 views | FBI | A side track from the Hladky pronunciation thread set me thinking about ones I like and dislike... Good: KOA and Blue Monday: generally thoughtful content with knowlegdgeable contributors and some genuine insight. Bad Home Dressing Room and Alex Griffin. HDR's just a bit OTT for my liking and I can't be doing with all the video 'stings'. Alex Griffin is, well, odd. I know it's a fan doing it for fans so a bit different in that regard and maybe it's just not meant for 54-year-old gimmers like me but he does my head in. And why the cover shots of him gurning each time? YMMV and each to his own. Any other recommendations? Funnily enough I caught Phil's 'My ITFC' on KOA last night... I also went to uni in Hull :-) |  |

I watched one of Griffin’s matchday videos once. Painful. Seems to be a mini industry of people like him from many clubs doing the same thing. Never mind the quality just hit like and subscribe. Talking Town seem to broadcast because they can rather than having any real purpose. Content overload. “Join us for reaction to Cook’s latest presser. Let’s smash it, etc” Nah, I’m good, thanks. |  |

FWIW I actually think Alex Griffin's mini pod is actually quite good, obviously it's not an in depth analysis of the game pre or post match, but for what it is and the duration it's perfectly fine. I prefer the KOA and the Blue Monday by a country mile, but there is space for people like Alex, and what's refreshing is seeing the younger generation loving the club with pride, rather than walking around with City shirts on. |  |

Yeah, you're dead right about that passion in a younger generation and the one where he got Russell Osman to come round and say happy birthday to his mum was sweet. I'm just too old for that kind of thing :-) |  |

Me too, but we have to get with the times, and as much as it's not my cup of tea on the whole, it's still quite entertaining and I'm conscious of the fact that we need the generation to be as enthused as we were. Otherwise we turn into grumpy old git's like Facters. |  |

It’s all harmless fun and nobody’s being forced to watch. I am curious, though, as to who finds it necessary to watch the matchday videos. What, ultimately, is gained from seeing and hearing from Dave in the street. “I reckon, right, 2-0 to the Town today. Yep.” |  |

I think it's a bit of fun, no more no less, good luck to him. |  |

Well this Dave here hasn't predicted a correct result so far :-D |  |

He’s a genuine Town fan who’s heart is in the right place. I think his content is perhaps aimed at a generation younger than my own but there’s nothing wrong with that. I admire these young fans who invest a lot of time and energy in Town when they can’t have experienced anything other than misery in their time as fans of the club. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Indeed, these poor souls have stuck with us through the worst period in our history, they deserve medals, or at the very least a Portman Pie. |  |
