Andy Goldstein Is BAFFLED By Kids Looking Up To IShowSpeed More Than Footballers?! 😤💢 

We live in this bizarre period in time when mediocrity has never been more celebrated.

bit rich of TalkSport to have this segment when they pay Rory Jennings to spew his clickbait nonsense takes on the air

kids saying they wouldn't play for Palace aren't good enough to be playing professional football anyway

The RU-vidrs are usually just talented enough to have an internet connection

Most of these RU-vidrs are scammers. They couldn’t care less about the people that watch them. Just give me your money and most of their audience is under 15

Absolutely zero self awareness. Football at the top level is gone. Ticket prices, subscriptions to watch all the games, players earning absolute fortunes. Young players at all these top clubs have no motivation to succeed because they are already earning a fortune without having to make it. Sky sports is the beast that is killing the game from top to bottom.

Every generation in history has complained about the generation coming after them…… even though they raised em 😂

Ishowspeed will probably get to hand the european trophy to the winners this summer. The way its going........

That ishowspeed guy is just weird in my opinion. A clown. Can't be taken seriously

“I wanna be Brent Goldbridge” 🤨

the kids see relatively low barriers to entry/ an easy route to become "famous" through youtubing - speed went from a nobody to being invited to private parties.... becoming a famous footballer takes a lot more effort and talent - kids are just looking for the easiest path to notoriety

As Tom Brady said about the young NFL players these days, they want to be stars not champions. They would prefer to be famous and have highlight reels on RU-vid than be champions.

I'm more concerned that none of these kids wanna be engineers or doctors. I'm a teacher and soooo many kids are holding onto pipedreams without even considering a backup plan.

I don't know anyone who idolises speed they just find him funny

They don't want to be him. It's just a guy who makes them laugh. It's not this deep. Stick to actual topics. You are reaching

It's all extremely gay

For me it comes down to availability, kids don't watch as much football because it costs far to much! We're as RU-vid is free and always available on your phone.

The "YT is free" part is glossed over here but I believe its a huge factor. Watching football is now a luxury, and is way too expensive for the regular football fan to tune in and watch games at their leasure.

Don’t get why so many people like that guy, he’s just a clown and has gotten famous because of it. How he gets invited to all these football parties and awards is beyond me. It’s crazy

They want money without the work. It's like Socialism, but where everyone if given millions equally. There's a certain community that has always been about get rich quick

Its the world we live in kids want to be famous and not work

“Old men yell at clouds” vibes

It’s like just being an influencer. People leave their jobs to go on Love Island.

Sad times we live in

This is sadly true. My kid plays sports and I am trying my best to stay him away from neighbours’ kids who spend most of their time on screens. Some 4 and 6 years old with iPhones waking up 4-5 am to watch videos on RU-vid and play video games is criminal.

These kids are smart being a RU-vidr is 100% better than being a footballer. Much more upside and without all the injuries. Footballers even want to be RU-vidrs these days 😂

You can be a RU-vidr at any age. But you can only be a footballer at a certain age in your life

Jesus Christ listening to these boomers trying to understand RU-vid and RU-vidrs while their clip is being shared on said platform is ironic beyond belief. You muppets…

Loved every second of this kid section. 👏🏾s to Papa Simon for some good raising. & go on Roman!! Get him suited up ☺️❤

This has to do with access to top level football wether its on TV or YT. Back in the 90 and 00s you had about 4 hours of football highlights from premier league to national league on a Saturday night between the bbc and itv. Then there was the Italian football on channel 4 all weekend.

Andy the reason they struggled to sit there was because it’s women’s football. Absolute terrible

If you are 15 or 16, and not in an academy, or playing special football, then you already know you won't be a professional footballer at an elite club. ... but YT is a definite option at that age. This is a ridiculous comparison, if you think about it just a little bit.

kids will be kids man it’s like people forgot what it’s like to be kids especially those who wanted to fit in.

Very soon we will be watching robots playing football instead of real human beings

Some people wake to say all this Malarkey. It’s shocking

It’s not just kids who sit on their phones during a game though, when you look around. There are so many adults browsing on their phones rather than watching what’s happening on the pitch.

Missing the point of speed, watch some of his travel vlogs, dude is just living his life now

I’m surprised Schmeltz didn’t call in

Pot calling the kettle black

I’m 35 and it baffles me how anyway pays attention to this lad BUT I remember hearing the same from my parents about grime music when I was a teen. Let’s not turn into boomers and be that bitter older generation, let the youngsters do their thing

I've always wondered how KSI has any following, let alone 10 million plus. No talent whatsoever. Not even a good personality. Truly mind blowing..

It's too expensive to watch football unless you have a dodgy box ,pricing kids out of the game

When i was growing up you wanted to be a footballer or a rockstar or DJ. Now it's RU-vidr. Sad times.

Football becoming a game of 4 quarters has been around for years. I can see that coming up. Maybe these kids know they aint got what it takes to play football.

Its funny Cause they talking about this in on RU-vid

I'm baffled you have a job as a football talk show host when you haven't the slightest clue about anything related to football.

Not sure why but Andy's "I own kids" sounded odd😅 it was the tone as if you say you own dogs or an iphone.

Already has happened with Gerard Pique’s Kings League

There is a RU-vid Charity football match today sold out Selhurst Park every year there is a RU-vid football match’s that brings kids that love RU-vid to enjoy football so I don’t think that it will effect the game plus having RU-vidrs on Sky Sports then bring kids that watch RU-vid to watch football it’s quite an intelligent move tbh

Aren't these guys RU-vidrs aswell?

Its the want it now without working or gaining any experiences generation, years training to be the professional is not the mindset they've been conditioned

Baffling nothing would beat smashing a goal in the Premier league

He doesn't have to play in the snow

The talksport equivalent of the old man shouting at clouds.

Children under 14 have unrealistic views of adult life and find watching sports hard. Most oif them will try to be athletes, singers or RU-vidrs and fail and then they will end up in a normal job.

I genuinely have no idea who their talking about!

I'm not surprised kids want to be on their phone at a women's football game.

I think u can thank tiktok for the short attention spans and any short videos on social media

idiocracy becoming more and more real.

Without social media - youtube!! We wouldn't know about talksports.

Wait until he hears about Neon

Old people (like the speaker) have to understand that times have changed. When you were small, your parents used to be baffled by your inclination to rock music, etc. Times change, preferences change. Its the era of podcasts, youtube stars etc. It just is. This will to go away and future kids will be doing some "ready go player" type of things. It is what it is. Just accept and move on. Play your bingo, take a walk, do what old people do.

If you ask the kid who wanted to be a youtuber would you rather be mbappe or ishowspeed i find it hard to beleive they would choose isbowspeed

I think it’s because RU-vid is easily accessible, your more likely to be a big RU-vidr than a pro footballer in the prem

Think kids would rather be a RU-vidr more because it seems more attainable. Everyone wanted to be a footballer but most kids weren’t talented enough, weren’t fit enough, even genetically not good enough; most clubs turn away goalkeeper that aren’t projected to be 6’4. When you see RU-vidrs anyone can be one, you just need a personality that resonates with people. Nowadays RU-vid’s live the same lives as footballers without having to be good at one specific aspect of life

No wonder they want to be a RU-vidr when you mentioned City as a top side to play. 🤣

Since phone and damn tech no kids or teens god out and play outside like any sports

Don't Talksport also have Mark Goldbridge do shows...

I'm not sure about this. I think the kids who are genuinely at the top (and that is what, 1 in every 2,000?) and are confident they will make it to the top in football are one of a kind. As they grow older, they will realise that playing for Crystal Palace will be a lot more lucrative than having another middle of the road RU-vid channel. The RU-vid wish are probably kids who deep down know they will never make it as a top pro.

One of the most educated show I have watched on Talk Sport

Ever have him on talksport and I will never listen again

Mr Bent here's a thought maybe try limit your kids screen time

IM 24 and from denmark would love to listen to it live somday Think my age its The last one there Saw RU-vid of Ronaldo and Messi as a kidd

It's simple. Football takes hard work and dedication. Anyone can pick up a camera and film something. Most things that go viral is stupidity.

10:02 as a Liverpool fan I love that kid😂😂😂❤❤ YNWA Roman✊

Technically you guys are RU-vidrs 😂

Different times mate football is finished imo i love playing than watching it

He’s like an American Keith Lemon style crazy random humour football oriented comedian/streamer, it’s an acquired taste but he is actually pretty funny tbf

We are living in the real life version of the movie Idiocracy and every day I believe it more.

I genuinely have no problem at all with Speed. As an adult, I find his content watchable most of the time when he is out in the real world

Yall should thank speed because he brings alot of attention to football other here in America. Not alot of pepole in the us knows who Ronaldo or messi is

respect the goat speed ???

I don't get it either. You see these Paul brothers too and that other bloke with the big forehead all the time.

I don't believe Bent here. Out of all kids in UK I would say 70% want to be footballers 10% other sports and 20 % RU-vid. I hope I'm right RU-vid ain't a job but Im to old to understand I guess

Humans have always been like this. They see whatever is popular and want to become the next big thing in it. We like taking the easy path to success and then going back to doing whatever we want. Content creation is a perfect example of that. Compared to athletes, you have to either be born with good genetics or train your whole life in order to stand out. Now, I’m not saying content creation is easy, but the odds of being a RU-vidr are higher than those who choose to be athletes. All I have to do is start a RU-vid channel and upload a short or video 😅😁. However, you would be at a disadvantage if you don’t keep up with the current trends in the industry. Otherwise, the only thing stopping you is consistency in your work ethic. Lastly, times are always changing, and so are the people in them. Don’t get upset about it. Just keep doing what you love and enjoying every day!

Ishowspeed makes $3 Million a month…..that’s a lot more than most footballers.

IT IS THE NEW WORLD WHERE TALENT DOESN'T MATTER

Two youtubers talking about how youtubers are ruining the world

Let the kid live

100% agree with Andy on this.

I see nothing wrong with wanting to be a streamer or RU-vidr, they make just as much as footballers do if not more than some.

The modern day footballers arent idolised. They re all replicates of each other. No uniqueness in character or playing style. So whats thetr to idolise? Back in the day sherer was different to henry whos different to bergkamp.

It’s simple. For the same reason why talksport NameDrop him for clickbait video.

Better parenting for starters

This isn't so farfetched. The OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of kids are not, and will never be good enough to play at the top level. So why strive for something unattainable? Anyone can be a viral sensation. Anyone, for anything! But only a select few can be a top athlete, even with hard work.

Let me spoil the entire video for ya some old heads crying about youtubers being rich and famous.

Looking up to either is weird, look up to your father

Give over... It's no different to our generation wanting to be a movie star ffs. Why should a youngster not shoot high and say i want to play for a united, city, Liverpool arsenal, Chelsea etc. Why would you want to be a footballer with gutter press

Ishowspeed is more influential to kids because he actually goes out and interacts with them and entertains them. Football players play on a pitch for 90mins and then you don’t see them next week till the are on the pitch again. And some footballers are knobs who just because they are a footballer shouldn’t be classed as influential.

Do these guys realise they are also RU-vidrs
