Mark
Radcliffe and Marc Riley are best known as Mark and Lard,
who until March 2004 kept legions of listeners entertained
every weekday afternoon on Radio One. Now the double act are
reunited for a look at the world of football...
Both
devoted Man City fans, Mark & Lard have got plenty to say
when it comes to their favourite sport and Mark and Lard's
Football Hell present clips of own goals, gaffs, bad misses,
bad haircuts and general travesties of football.
This
release is full of dodgy tackles, dirty tricks, camp Brazilian
referees and very suspect half time entertainment. Strikers,
defenders, referees and goalies are all held up to ridicule
while Mark and Lard ponder the great unanswered questions
of football such as why are there never any female streakers?
From kids' football and scuffles on the pitch to giving the
low-down on their favourite fashion faux pas, Mark & Lard
present their all time top ten own goals, top ten misses plus
referees on the receiving end.
Highlights
include some
bloke - God knows who as he isn't credited - comparing winning
to "pulling a good looking bird." But he doesn't
stop there, he goes on about taking her back to his hotel
room and then tries to dig himself out of trouble when he
realises his wife might see the interview. Also worth watching
is the camp
exhibitionist Brazilian referee, who really puts on a show
for the crowds; a
tornado that starts during a kids football match in Japan;
Barbados
scoring a deliberate home goal in order to move the game into
extra time in order to win the match; and a bunch of Dutch
tone deaf mingers singing on the pitch as part of the half-time
entertainment.
The
video is mainly a collection of home goals and shots that
never hit their mark, however there
are just as many minutes devoted to Mark and Lard's intros
than of the football clips.
A
good gift for that hard to buy for football fan, but at only
an hour in length, this is a pretty pricey release that only
has a handful of entertaining clips.
