Chinese Interviewers - Problems

[matoski]

I saw the interview and i think it was pretty ok. The questions were not that odd. And the journalist looked very sweet

"No disrespect but what's it like to play against Ronnie?"


/facepalm

saying no disrespect, helps nothing . It merely appears all the more patronising, hence ronnie's reaction and joe's understandable unease when answering. Their body language told a million tales.

She is cute.

I wouldn't mind the questions, may be a private interview would be better.

Plus she only asked Joe one question and then ignored him throughout the interview. Why invite him as well, in this case? Joe was left to contemplate the ceiling, scrutinise his cue tip and possibly cringe while Ronnie was trying to find a way out from the "Higgins-is-the-only-one-who-can-beat-me-when-on-form" trap.

Much better today, maybe because she was dealing with a 2 time world champion and great.

But better.

You think so? Have a look at this then:

Asked if he thought that O'Sullivan was unbeatable, Maguire had his tongue firmly in cheek when he replied: "Yes, he is unbeatable, I'm just going to show up to make up the numbers tomorrow. If I get one frame I'll be happy. I just hope the chair will be comfortable because I'll be sitting in it the whole time."

Problem is: "tongue in the cheek" statements can be misinterpreted when translated

I have come across quite a few problems with that lately... and then it was only between English and French...

Wow.
What can I say... she certainly is one in a million... I mean one in 1.3 billion.
Notice how her interviewing finally drives Joe to gnaw on his fingers the same way he does when ROS is at the table.

=o)
