Ted Lasso - Roy Kent quits sky sports news

[sianakenny]

Roy not wanting to comment on a 17 year old’s debut has even more meaning now we know about that article Trent wrote about his

[R.W.S.]

‘I don't know, he's seventeen. He'll probably have chips for dinner and a wank before bed.’
Easily one of the best lines of the show for me 😂

I love how Jeff is the only one on sky sports Roy respects

This episode is so extremely well written. It starts with Ted Lasso in the locker room giving a pep talk to the squad, talking about how he believes in “Rom Communism” where he analogises the teams story as part of a rom com, where everything will work out in the end.
And then we see Roy, who’s lost touch with football and become a pundit, and isn’t finding joy in not being on the pitch as close as possible to the game he loved, but believes his sky sports gig is the best choice for him as that’s what he’s good at.
And one day, while he’s having another day at the job, he sees his team on the pitch and realises how much he misses being there.
So in true rom com fashion, he leaves it all behind, telling Jeff “he has to do this” and doing all the cliched final act rom com tropes, with She’s a Rainbow playing in the background (the song during which Higgins met the love of his life) and him finally entering the pitch just as higgins meets his wife. Showing that Roy was finally reuniting with the love of his life.

The second he walks onto the pitch and the crowd erupts I couldn’t hold it any longer, tears streaming. Amazing monologue/scene from a brilliant series.

"I miss all of it" absolutely kills me. Time and aging has forced me to move on from a lot of things I can no longer do, and it really sucks.

[jakefranck]

I’m a coach and I’m between jobs right now. When he said “I miss all of it”, man that hit me hard.

I felt like Roy's self realization that this type of grandiose analysis needed to be called what it is was BRILLIANT! Post and pre game banter can be such BS!!!

[cuda]

I love this episode; the buildup to Roy's realization of where he is meant to be and his rush to get to the pitch before the game starts.

[naomilamont]

And Nate is the only coach that doesn't go along with Isaac's enthusiasm. I really should have seen that ending coming

[olliealous]

"We're not in the locker rooms with them. We're not on the pitch with them. We can't look them in the eyes, and encourage them to better than they ever thought that they were capable of being." That's Ted Lasso coming out of Roy Kent's mouth

[barcelomrozovic]

This romcom themed episode is absolutely gorgeous. I loved every bit, laughed my shoes off and even shed a tear at the end like a freaking wanker.
There are plenty of good episodes, but this one has to be my favorite.

[mizzle]

Holy cow, I've never watched more than a couple minutes of this show and I'm crying right now. You can really feel Roy's deep sadness and longing, and from that perspective, it's moving to see what a joyful space the team have created.

[guilhermeportella]

How epic would be a sky sports interview between Roy Keane and Kent?! Someone has to make it happen haha

[engerek]

"You had me at coach".

This scene is spectacular and brilliantly written. It not only shows how wise Roy actually is, but also show steps of him admitting what he had been longing all along.

[BBaum]

A spot on view of sports media...and media in general.

[spacechimps]

the latest episode with roy and trent crimm gives a lot of context as to why roy doesn't feel qualified to comment on the performance of a 17-year-old he doesn't know

[simeonwebb]

Knowing now what’s going on with Kammy it really does put things into perspective, absolute legend of the commentary game!

[ajayharry]

“Jeff…I have to go” is the best part of the second series.

If Roy kent was real he would get a contract Bigger than his playing days one for this content
