Anyone else give up after a couple of minutes after checking total duration. I just wanted to know if it was indeed Connor Parsons because I’d heard (and briefly seen) good things about him. I’ll have to be patient until someone confirms that @NewburyWanderer was correct.
I agree. I posted the link only because of the Wycombe connection (and without actually watching the video). My teenage son told me about it. He spends hours watching this stuff: I guess I'm just too old to appreciate it.
Exactly that! He came across as a bit of a yoof and trying to promote his training schedule for ££££s. When you compare him to Bloomers, JJ, Darius Charles, Bayo etc, it really didn't shed him in a good light!
It troubled me a bit because, generally speaking, we are used to our young players coming across in interviews (important distinction there of course) as mature, articulate and sensible individuals that, broadly speaking, we can relate to and respect.
I hope I’m wrong to feel slightly uneasy about Connor Parsons because the video clips I’ve seen of him playing for Bromley suggest that he is a talented young footballer. Time will tell.
Didn't one of our previous yoof years ago make the dimwitted decision to turn up at an event kids were at with some "Caviar and Cocaine" branded clothing on?
Depends on the distance advanced I think @Wendoverman. Having advanced a quarter of a century further than your good self (give or take a year or two), I’m worried that you have taken on the role of spokesperson for the elderly whilst little more than a yoof yersen.

Connor Parsons. Could he be the next Mehmeti / Forino? I'd like to think so. Thought he did well in the Pizza Cup against Villa.

Sorry, but I found it quite amusing. Perhaps I'm just easily pleased.
I found it almost unwatchable. Just five blokes shouting over the top of each other. I also gave up.

You’re not alone. YouTube culture baffles me.
Me too. But it's not for us, I suppose
When I was a young man I was reading Vonnegut and watching Eisenstien. Culture is dead.
For those with long memories, I have long realised I have to struggle not to become the man in the train carriage in Hard Day's Night!
Tom Cruise is 7 years older in the new Top Gun film than Wilfed Brambell was in Hard Days Night.
They had a hard life in those days.
Revolting character
Despite the negative feedback from Gasroomers on the original video, there is now a sequel: Beta Squad vs. Connor Parsons.

Think I can understand the negativity TBH. 🤷♂️
I started this one, but then had to stop watching when Mr Parsons and his friends were discarding chewing gum on the street. Filth.
I managed three and a half minutes. Brought home to me that, however young at heart I may be, I inhabit a very different world.
And cycling through a red light
I think you've got to be pretty young to be able to watch much of that.
It's 14 minutes long - you really think we have the attention spa...
I haven't watched...and you're not really selling it folks. Should it be behind a pay wall?
We should be paid to watch it.

Must have missed that one @Malone.
It comes with advancing age that our job is to be alarmed/outraged/depressed/ disappointed about the behaviour of the yoof @micra thems the rules.

I'm only 27 and I find myself thinking 'kids these days' more and more often
But you’re a sensible, grounded, thoroughly decent young man @ReturnToSenda . And who’s to say young Connor isn’t (beneath the egotistical bluster).
