The moment Jamie stops being a starlet and begins being a team player, and you can see and feel the magic sweep over the team when he does, proving Ted right again. Incredible scene, incredible writing, terrific acting.
It's funny though, because this happens after he talks with Dr Fieldstone. I know Ted has his issues with therapists but hot damn is she worth her weight in gold or what?
Yeah it's subtle but you can see it hit him at about 1:40 the cut before he asks for the tape. Great scene all around. I'm not a filmmaker but I can recognize great acting, editing, timing etc. I think part of what makes this show popular is how well they do emotional scenes in a show that is a comedy with a ridiculous premise. Its a great blend.
"We are a team, aren't we. Gotta wear the same kit". Such powerful writing. Jamie bringing up the team mentality, unity, the last person you'd expect in season 1. This show is making me soft and I love it.
It isn't making you soft. It is teaching you that real strength comes from cooperation, raising each other up, dealing with emotions constructively, and treating those around you with real respect.
Because he’s not just a pompous ass. He’s a kid who loved football who had the love of the game crushed out of him by his overbearing father and that love was replaced by ego and the need to feed it.
I am so scared for what is to come because of this brave move by Sam and the team. The press has been careful not to spill spoilers,but they subtly hint at fallout from this. I really love this show ,too. I think the casting is amazing!
Nah, this was the scene where he proved this his change was more than just words. He came back a more humble person, but nobody believed him until here.
For me it was when he and the team were burning the stuff. He opened up about his feelings and the looks he got showed that they began to understand him. Just sucks he was transferred back after such a breakthrough
I read something that has stuck with me: Isaac is the captain but Sam is the heart and emotional leader of the team. It was perfectly displayed in this episode. Sam's speech gets everyone to wear the same kit but it was Isaac who supported Sam first. Even if Isaac wasn't Nigerian, he still would've been the first cuz he supports his teammates.
Jamie is the real heart of this team, whether he is the captain or not. It's when he decides to wear the tape that thw whole team agrees it's a good idea and follow
A subtle thing. In most shows, he'd say a joke or something to disassociate/make it more comfortable to what he's doing. But he doesn't. He says what he needs to say and shuts up. Because Jamie understands that this is important, nothing needs to be said, just do. He really is evolving as a person.
@@norfernbaz2578 Same thing can evoke different emotions in different people. It's okay if you think this wasn't that much emotional, but it's also okay if someone else cried a lot or was on the verge of crying. Everybody doesn't have to have the same opinion.
What makes this scene great for me is that Jamie doesn't make some big speech about morals or anything like that. It wouldn't ring true. Sam's is the moral stand. For Jamie, its just about showing he's a team player now, and team's support each other. Gotta wear the same kit. I think its interesting this plot point came just one episode after Roy Kent drops the great line "Have some pride in your shirt, or don't fucking wear it!" Says a lot about playing for your team and teamates, but also a lot about what wearing a companies branding means. God this show is written well!
@@andymaggie7137 Exactly. Plus if he made a big speech it might seem like he is still trying to steal the spotlight and be the idol. By doing it the way he does, he shows he is a team player, both by supporting Sam, and also by allowing this controversy to steal the thunder away from "his big return".
The pride is in the badge, not the sponsor. What this scene also represents is that being an ally to this who are oppressed means sticking by their side and not making the issue about yourself.
The thing I love about this show is the ability to go from touching, to having a funny line (Issac and Colin's reactions) and then immediately go back to be touching without losing anything. Absolutely brilliant writing.
In reality this wouldn't be the case for most players. We've seen guys like Kaepernick basically destroy their careers doing what Sam is doing. But I think this how we would all want things to play out. Just an upbeat approach to life, I love the show for this exact reason
the difference is, this doesnt take place in america where people are ignorant and have drawn lines in the sands where you are either on this side or the other, that if you believe in this idealogy, you MUST reject the other one. They're protesting a company and since theyre not americans, there probably wont be any idiots that will confuse a hatred of a company to a hatred of a political ideology.
Kaepernick was protesting something and by doing that disrespected the American Anthem, the American Flag, veterans and active duty soldiers. That a huge fucking no-no with a large majority of America. Sam is just protesting a company.
@@D-AVGGamer Up this. Sure, even in the UK this would be controversial and would almost certainly cause huge financial problems for Richmond in particular, but Sam would always have the option to move and continue his career elsewhere; him standing up to a corporation that literally destroyed his home wouldn't... COULDN'T be a blacklist on his career. Considering the celebrity nature of our athletes in fact, quite the opposite.
@@jacobantony9033 - Wrong. It was a veteran that told Kaepernick to kneel instead of sit during the anthem. Nobody owns the flag or the anthem....not even veterans.
This is easily one of Jamie’s best moments, especially when you look back where he started in the series. He was the “i” in team and now he’s showing Sam, the man who was the most upset by his rehire that he has his back
Love this scene. This draws parallels to the Qatar World Cup where 6500 workers have died to build the stadiums but the football world has turned a blind eye.
It also reminds me of Jackie Robinson where he had a death threat while playing in the south and his whole team decided to wear 42 in solidarity with him.
I love how Sam’s looking at himself in the mirror as the music builds up and up and he goes for the tape and builds up and up and he puts the tape over the logo and up and up and up and- Isaac laughs!
Even though the gesture was more about Jaime trying to do something to make up for his past treatment of them. They can see that he’s trying. Then he starts to suck because he’s become too much of a team player, and it’s another problem they have to fix. Great writing.
Ja Mie Tart du du du du du du Ja Mie Tart du du du du du du Ja Mie Tart du du du du du du Jamie Tart. The show continues to be one of the kindest shows available. All the people in the world who are busy hating each other on the internet and arguing over everything. The world needs much more Ted Lasso and people need to learn what it's like to be a good person once again. The show is incredible and I hope they keep being positive.
Do the right thing. Feel when you have too. Nothing in life is more beautiful than being proud for standing up for those who dont have a voice. Nothing in life is more important than protecting those who cant protect themselves. Nothing in this world is better than passing on human kindness, goodness. Utopia is not far away, it just taken acts of kindness and sacrifice
the beautiful writing with tartt's character was that all of his personal growth happened off screen. we didn't witness any of it. we only see the effects of the change on his decisions and relationships. one thing i knew with tartt was that they weren't going to wrap up his story with any kind of ending at all. his story is now infinitely possible because the things that were weighing him down as a person were gone. he didn't need the writers to decide. his potential is limitless now in whichever direction his character may choose to go.
@@JarinUdom In one way it isn't, but on the other hand it actually is, because the things you see is literally what makes football so great, as these are things people go through on and off the pitch and what brings people together in the locker rooms. This also does portray what people who are involved in professional football go through. There is obviously a reason football is used here. It's also relatable to the majority of the world where football is being played/learned to play from the moment a kid can walk and gets people to get away from the daily troubles in life. Of course this could go for most sports and most hobbies, but this is how football is if you actually get to know it. This show displays everything people that know football go through in real life and also shows, again, why football is so popular and "life" for so many.
0:46-0:47 Okay nobody talks about this look on Jamie's face as much as they should. Even before the situation is explained, Jamie immediately knows that this is deeply, seriously important to Sam and not a joking matter at all. I don't fault the other Richmond Players for trying to be friendly and lacking the rest of the information, but it really says something that the team's former meanie and current outcast as well as the teammate that Sam trusts the least is better at picking up cues than the men that Sam has literally been bonding with for the past few months.
@@TheWagnasty the only hate I’ve seen for the season was for that one episode where it’s only about Coach Beard. Nobody is hating on the rest of the season, at least from what I’ve seen.
I mean this season has some insane parallels with The Empire Strikes Back. When that movie came, people didn’t liked it at all. Now it’s considered the best Star Wars because it helped so develop for the third movie so much
I did this to my LA Galaxy jersey. Sick and tired of being mistaken for a Herbalife -sucker- distributor and refuse to promote that horrible MLM company as well.
not to nitpick, but the video caption at 1:20 is slightly incorrect. For anyone curious, Winchester says, "Gimmie dat, skip." and not, "Can I ask it?" this is because a captain in soccer/football is often referred to as a skipper.
My favourite thing about this is Jamie’s response. Sam was pretty rude to Jamie here (rightfully so, Jamie was an absolute prick towards Sam for the entire first season), and Jamie could retort, but instead he chooses to fully stand by him.
This is the moment where Jamie truly understood what Ted meant in Season 1 about him being 1 of 11. He knows Sam has no reason to like him or trust him, and he doesn't try to convince Sam otherwise. He simply proves it by showing that he's willing to stand with him, because they're a team. Like so many other relationships on this show, Sam and Jamie begin as adversaries (mostly because Sam is a nice guy and Jamie is a pompous ass through most of Season 1) but become close friends who love and respect one another. This show is so damn good.
I have no idea what this show is or what it’s about. I don’t know who these characters are. I saw a TikTok about this scene and got smacked in the face with the line, “we’re a team. Got to wear the same kit”. From an apparently uninvolved white man to a deeply affected black man. It makes me tear up, despite literally just being a performance. It’s a fairly popular bit of media taking a stand and drawing a line in the sand while also showing the right way to do it. Might have to check out the show, now.
Love, love, love the show. Lord knows how many times I've watched the 15 (so far) episodes. But the leap from Jamie sitting in Dr. Fieldstone's office to this scene didn't quite ring true for me. So I wrote two insert scenes, providing a better impetus for his transformation.
@@buddy3635 1) Dr. Fieldstone establishing that she's been a longtime football fan, her cachet and credence elevated in Jamie's eyes, 2) The doctor asking the fundamental question of Jamie 'What do you want?' and 3) After asking what Jamie's ideal teammate would be and him then describing them, as a riff on 'Be the change you want to see', Dr. Fieldstone suggests "Be that player." Aside from the minor input of Ted and advice from Kealey in Season 1, Jamie's never really had someone 'mentor' him. He's had his father's hectoring, yes, but he's been self-absorbed, resistant to input. In Season 2, he's actually begging for Roy to manage him; this (for me) begins with the suggested revisions. (I absolutely loved his 'new and improved' interaction with Roy in S02, from being told to 'When it is appropriate, be a prick' to their hug and celebration at the end of the match in S02E12.)
Is anyone familiar if anything like this has actually happened in the real life? I know there have been fan protests again sponsors, and there have been times where a club dropped a sponsor because of bad PR and such. But has there been an open revolt by players against the sponsor? Seems like FIFA would literally kill people to avoid that.
You know why players are fined for taking off their shirt after scoring? Because the pictures don’t have the sponsor logos in them. FIFA have demanded and received changes to the law of countries hosting World Cups to benefit sponsors. Oh and those fines for taking of your shirt? Larger than fines for racist chanting or throwing bananas on the pitch. If a player actually did this FIFA would nail them to the wall.
The USWNT did something like this last year -- they turned their jerseys inside out during the final of the SheBelieves Cup so that the shield insignia was blank, to protest the pay equity gap.
I'm a bit confused.... is he saying him and the other two are Nigerians? Isaac is obviously born and raised in the UK based on his accent AND his last name, lol
Gotta disagree there. Because of how close he is with Coach Lasso and is kinda the heartbeat of the team, I think this season is going to turn into a battle between AFC Richmond and their sponsor, and they more than likely lose the sponsor and a ton of money, but go on a crazy winning streak to make it back to the Premier League. Ted probably gets suspended or in trouble, and Roy comes back to join the coaching staff. That's what I think is going to happen
Morality. It's what we as humans have throughly lost. We ignore.due to our political beliefs but we as humans must hold goodness and morality true as virtues
Sam emerged as a major costar character in this episode. That was an emotional scene. The Sam actor played it to perfection. And when they take the field all wearing the tape, that was something 😢
