00:00you're here to back your team but staying home is a crowd they're always shouting and singing
00:04through defense and attack you're always welcome inside it's sunny round the back catch me if you
00:08can because i'm the pub going man and watching with these guys is the master plan we ain't no
00:13armchair fans we don't watch football wrong summer in the pub i know we can't go wrong
00:20john barnes has released a new rap celebrating the unbeatable buzz of watching football together
00:27well shared moments are very important from a positive point of view but of course when you
00:31lose you also support each other and you can see what football means to people because of course
00:37they're winners and they're losers and if you look at how losers can console each other as well it is
00:40really just about you know togetherness and people friends getting together and having fun so of
00:44course yes you'll be disappointed if you've lost happy if you if you've won however you know football
00:48gives you that gamut of emotions and also the best thing about football is that no matter what happens
00:52today there's always tomorrow and you can always look forward to getting that feeling of happy
00:57happiness and togetherness even if you've lost week in week out the rap well i'm a firm believer
01:03that footballers shouldn't touch a microphone unless you join balance the rap was really good to be
01:08fair obviously had a little bit of an english twist on it but up in scotland we love a party
01:13we love a
01:13sing-song i can get down with it the liverpool legend has consistently defended var but he says
01:19this summer is about bar i have to say i'm a fan of var i must admit most people are
01:25but i am but of
01:25course now we're talking about bar belonging atmosphere and relationships and that is what
01:29football is football is about a tribe regardless of who you support england scotland liverpool
01:34edmonton um so that's the belonging uh the relationships is once again that you have with
01:39your not only the relationships you have with your fellow fans but also the opposition fans which
01:44hopefully doesn't lead into too much aggression but it's more a bit of banter um and the atmosphere
01:50is self-explanatory i mean you can go to football matches all over or you can go and watch a
01:54football
01:55in a pub and you can see the atmosphere in a pub when things are going well so yeah um
01:59what i what
02:00i say i'm a fan of um var i'm also a bigger fan of bar the 2026 fifa world cup
02:06is the largest in the
02:07tournament's history with 48 national teams competing across 16 host cities for the first time this is
02:14obviously our first world cup in 28 years so to be with all your mates with your family your loved
02:20one celebrating shouting your nation on i think there'll be no better feeling than that this summer
02:24well of course if you if you think about i don't want to get too historical but you think about
02:29the history of pubs the history of taverns history of bars and when people are hardly at work
02:33to alleviate the stress of work they just used to come and get away from it all and of course
02:37this
02:37is hundreds of years later where we just feel it that it's you know a great place to come and
02:41just
02:42have fun but it does serve its purpose because that's what it was made to do all those hundreds of
02:46years ago bringing people together alleviating the stress of having to work and you come and you
02:49have fun and then you head home so yeah it serves its purpose not just from the point of view
02:54of
02:55people coming and having a drink but it's also to release your stress
