Mark E Smith reads the football results

[YouGotWoodRolled]

Not quite sure I'd want to be in the same group as Mark but I'd sure love to have a pint with the man. MES is a legend.

[nickisacebeans]

I saw The Fall about 4 months ago ... my god they were fucking awful, an experience I'm glad I had none the less.

[mushyw1234]

God he was shit.

[HammerLex77]

1:20 LOL!



[lager1188]

take the gum out of your mouth lad.

[CallumJTL8]

1:20... tottenham hotspur posponed... whest ham united 1 h hahah

[ManU898100]

how old is this clip

[headschlong]

@ManU898100 George Best was on his last legs. Work it out.

[ManU898100]

@headschlong you mean this when he die

[headschlong]

@ManU898100 Pretty close I imagine.

[qwertyuiopdan1]

It's a shame he's such a knob, good music though.

[Zhelnerovich]

No difference between this and his singing

[TheVimtoMoustache]

Surely that should be Bury Athletic P-Rushden And Diamonds Town 2 ?

Marks comedy is second only to his musical genius.

Legend.

[iantobbsatmillbrook]

I miss the old final score format

[cilli99]

check my site footballresults.nl

[codelocator]

Tottenham Hotspur postponed West Ham Utd 1 h

[luistownmassacre]

too bad hes a shitty fan.

[SPERANZA65]

@luistownmassacre yeah, and we're top of the Premier League, and deserve to be there. I can only guess which team you "support" - MCFC season-ticket since 1975.

[minutegongcoughs]

For a moment there I thought Mark had James Alexander Gordon on the ropes.

[nath909]

mark e smith would have a group of chimpanzee's writing amazing tunes.

[BathshebaSmith]

Could some bright spark make a mash-up out of this then please?

[ybot1983]

stick to the day job ahhhhhhhh

[quentinbaudier]

activate audio transcription and you will see at 2:50 "colchester united say black girl too" xD

[thisisridiculousman]

I hate football but this is the best thing I have seen in all my life.

AHHHHHHH

[Cunobelinus54]

If you turn on Google Audio transcribe you basically get the lyrics to a Fall song.

[presumingeduk]

Southampton Town and Bristol... love it

[TheIkaraCult]

the most terrifying thing about this video

"Sunderland manager, Mick McCarthy"

aaaaaaaaaagh!

[hufclufc]

The caption tells us George Best is on a life suppory machine at 59. Take note, Marky!

[amnesiacradar]

Absolutely brilliant, a great upload!

[merton8181]

wtf no sound!

[daveated]

Would make a good Fall song , just add bass n drums.

[aircap]

@daveated I was thinking exactly the same thing!

[newpuritan88]

@aircap southampton town-uh!

[magnumshifter]

Hey my name is Mark E. Smith and I took broadcast journalism specifically sports broadcasting in college...I know who cares right? (I wasnt even looking myself up either) yeah I know who cares about that either?

[pbrick6301]

Celtic 3 Rangers 0 in case anybody missed the bottom.

[IanJamesG]

town lol

[MrPabz9]

Like the man said bung ya granny on bongos to accompany this, could be The Fall's big break!.

[jaseywasey49]

I like the way he didn't put the Dons after Milton Keynes nice touch fella!!!

[chiangmaihotel]

Southampton Town ???????????

[UltimateVenom]

what does '1H' mean anyway?

[sufferationist]

@UltimateVenom it's to do with the football pools, when a match is postponed there is a panel to decide what the results probably would have been had the match played out. "1h" means they reckon the home side would have won

[UltimateVenom]

@sufferationist ooh right. ta lad.

[ski7878]

Funniest man in music - funniest man on youtube - love him!

[smithmarke]

It's group (or gruppe) Ray, not band.

[spadge321]

[WizzoUK]

[MrCitizenSmith]

Tottenham Hotspur postponed West Ham Utd1H

Bourne-ne-ne-mouth

[KittensGotTalent]

[m0ggieboy]

@KittensGotTalent Just the English ones I'm afraid.

[m0ggieboy]

@KittensGotTalent Just the English ones I'm afraid...

[thenextpope]

him taking his headphones off and then quickly putting them back on!

[TheSuperlime]

lol. that music is ace i want it back

[fordinner]

Tottenham Hotspur - postposted, West Ham Utd, 1h

[coptersoisoi]

I love you Mark but Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzz

[idrinktennentslager]

I thought this would be some edited mock up, but it's real.....very, very surreal!!!

[apedosmi1]

Also I love that Mark thinks Ray is asking him the background to Sparta Prague's name rather than the background to Theme From Sparta Prague. "It's mythological, it's greek" Haha!

[apedosmi1]

I like that he omits the 'Dons' from Milton Keynes. I'm sure that was deliberate.

[orchidtender]

No Xmas for Portsmouth! No Xmas for Portsmouth!

[PomBare]

Southampton...town, haha where did he pluck town from?

[DAMNGOODCOFFEE23]

(the child catcher)

[HerrBruddler]

[sugarydonkey]

This might be the greatest thing in the history of the world. Ever.

[klainova]

:DD Czech league isn´t the best, but so professional football analyst doesn´t have :D Thank you for great experience Mr. Smith!

[sduddy]

thats pretty cool well done mr smith

[asuatorhan]

does anybody know the name of the song at the beginning?

[DXManiacde]

@asuatorhan It's "Theme from Sparta F.C." as said in the beginning of the video :)

[babidaboopy]

it's a number one!!!

[Herarsetoymug]

I'm not sure why The Cherries' result amused him so :)

[daveylad13]

Awww, man, that's just awesome.

[Mald77]

My life is a miserable fuckin mess, but MES makes me laugh at least. He's absolutely brilliant.

[makopolok]

l millwalll  2

[LordHeath1972]

next time you take on a job like this can you NOT be pissed first.

Absolutely no passion whatsoever in the reading.

What a dick.

[sharonwithtracey]

@LordHeath1972 He was nervous. You can tell by the way he was adjusting his hair beforehand. This is the first time he has read football results.

[LordHeath1972]

@sharonwithtracey OK fair enough, point taken :)

[lhasti]

@LordHeath1972 You obviously do not know Mark E Smith. Absolute legend. Does whatever he wants to do.

[LordHeath1972]

@lhasti OK I accept that is a fair comment, I do NOT know who he is.

[lhasti]

@LordHeath1972 Okay cool :)

[muttilo]

@LordHeath1972 LEAGUE TWO CON-TIN-UUUUEED...

[alinryde]

this is good though .... gets boring after a few scores but still cool

[thetempsband]

Discounted tickets for The Fall in the Liverpool 02 Academy 2 on the 19th of May. They're normally £17 but we have them for £10. Send us a message on this if you'd like one!

[ChocolateExplosion]

is he just a serious Manc or braindamaged.. it's hard to tell the way he speaks

[AuthenticCelestial]

@ChocolateExplosion too many drugs. far too many drugs. he spent, like, the whole 90s wasted.

[sharonwithtracey]

@AuthenticCelestial and you know fuck all.MES is just this way.some speed and alcohol now and again.What drugs are you thinking of, drama queen?

[AuthenticCelestial]

@sharonwithtracey I'm a drama queen, am I? whatever happened to self-awareness...

I love the guy, but you can't deny he's hammered his considerable brain over the years...speed, yes, and the booze.

[sharonwithtracey]

fair point.Although, he missed out name checking coca cola which shows sharp thinking.

[sharonwithtracey]

@AuthenticCelestial fair point.Although, he missed out name checking coca cola which shows sharp thinking.

[sharonwithtracey]

@ChocolateExplosion braindamaged? idiot.fuck off or show some respect. you're clueless about the man

[ChocolateExplosion]

@sharonwithtracey Actually I've seen the Fall live and spoke to him you stupid fukkk... But i guess you're jut some moronic loser who likes to worship the same old cult idols as everybody else because it makes you feel as cool and individual as everybody else.. next time save your advice for someone who knows less about life than you do.. if you can find anybody

[sharonwithtracey]

@ChocolateExplosion My you have a serious anger issue. You make a lot of assumptions,all false. As for "cool and individual" is that what you're calling yourself lol but seriously, prison has got a cell with your name on it cunt

[ChocolateExplosion]

@sharonwithtracey eat shit loser

[sharonwithtracey]

@ChocolateExplosion What's a "serious manc"? Why would you go and see a band whose singer you think is braindamaged?You're a fucking failure.

[ElMundoPequano]

what a fuckin legend

[boosh1988]

"Tottenham Hotspur, postponed, West Ham United, one haitch" hahaha

[ealaspada]

Never in my life had I expected this kind of combination...

[MalmoKulturforening]

[epping2ongar]

[ktpa2]

So tempting to rip audio and sample...

[Elektrapunk1]

For a City fan he's hilarious! Total respect for Mark E Smith as a singer, writer, musician who does not do conformist. He's a top Bloke!

[tomdissonance]

impossibly and undyingly funny.

[livedinbars]

[Dannypuck]

[UltimateVenom]

Greatest video on youtube, hands down.

[boosh1988]

i can't believe the beeb let him do this ha

[vanillaorchid]

'west ham united 1h'

[kidcodea]

AWESOME

[anselmorobbiatti23]

What a stroke of genius! The BBC should have have him permanently plonked in between Hansen, Lawro and the Crisp Man on MoTD every week

[madcatterman]

this is prolly the best thing i've ever seen

[ForeverPrestonNE]

Colchester 3-2 Blackpool

lool, and since when has there been a team called Southampton town lol

utw.

[ZakkySpencer]

Southampton town?

[scs3000]

Most recognizable voice ever.

[fez41]

Incredible! Thats just over 7 minutes without spitting, swearing or punching/sacking someone.

[HipHopSlam]

@fez41 Ha ha ha - your comment was almost as entertaining as the clip. Good one!

[asubjectiveopinion]

4:40 He looks genuinely chuffed.

[hectorsghost]

The legendary Mark E Smith doing the footy scores -- most surreal thing I've seen on You Tube for a long time! Genius.

[mancreject]

Truly a living Manchester legend. It'd be great to have a few pints with him!

[JamesBentley1981]

I had a pint with him a couple of months ago. It was an ambition fulfilled.

[SimpolBarnaby]

no flies on him!

[Zander971]

haha this is awesome

come on Chelsea =)

[Ulmeyda08]

Yes up the blues.

[samluke8121]

how was this amazing/

[DavySolaris]

Tottenham Hotspur postponed... West Ham United 1h...

[robertogreen]

that interview is so spectacularly brilliant. there is no better show stopper then, when asked by any tv personality "can you elaborate on x", the answer is just "no." followed by silence. 5:15 is a particular rurmissingwinner.

[kangaroocomedy]

Manchester City "Nil". Fuc N typical.

[Ulmeyda08]

Can you imagine him doing actual football commentary. He would be like "...oh what a goal!!!" 5 minutes after it had been scored.

[jaseywasey49]

Funniest thing i've seen in years class

[dnalor1975]

drier than a mouthful of stale bread!...

[whilegordonburns]

Here are the-ah, scores-ah,

Tottenahm Hotspur - postponed

West Ham - 1 haitch.

Thanks Mark, more down-beat than Lawrenson and you talk more sense.

[pompydave]

Southampton Town.. Sounds about right...

[shihlunchang]

Mark E Smith is a fucking genius, end of topic.

[bobwilsonanchorman]

Tottenham Hotspur Postponed West Ham United 1H! Sublime!

[twolunches]

..not a patch on his Bingo Calling!

[yools]

[waske999]

[ravensmead]

[HowardIrwin]

Absolute Class

[Dn2kproductions]

lmao sounds like he did the stupid voice as a joke xD

[Lambretta1969]

This is the best clip I have ever seen on You Tube. A triumph of random, surreal casting by the BBC. Mark E Smith is a legend
