[IronBull]

Anyone watched it? It was good.

[Dunky McCafferty]

Anyone watched it? It was good.

Aye, I watched it.

I missed the first episode, but I caught most of the second one when I got in earlier on.

& I have to agree, its a good show. & Amir comes across as a good guy, but I still wish Limond had KO'd his ass:D

I have never had a problem with Khan though. I hope he goes on to have a great career, unless he fights another scot.

& I got the impression Khans trainer( I forgot his name) couldnt be arsed teaching those bad lads, & who can blame him? But it was nice to see that the bad lads look like they are slowly changing for the better.

Oh, & its funny how the bad lads suddenly arent so bad when they are talking to the big built muslim friend of Khan! Thought it was funny when he accidentaly crushed on of their hands whilst shaking it:D

Dunky, you're not speaking fluent Scottish there mate.

[Dunky McCafferty]

Dunky, you're not speaking fluent Scottish there mate.

Amsterdam my good man, I have been on the drink this past couple of days, Im not speaking fluent anything! I was pishing myself laughing at some of my posts yesterday, I was so drunk after a night drinking the MD 20/20 & cans of Double Dutch & seen myself arguing with guys on the Lounge, priceless:D Fuckin love a good drunken ESB free for all!

However, in all seriousness my scottishness should never be called into question.

Not bad for a half european half american, & thats the truth! You sounded scottish until "tae foight" that sounds more irish than scottish.

But your not far away, if I was a teacher I would award you a B+ for that attempt at scots banter:good

Swiss-German.:yep

Aye, am doin me best.

[hitman_hatton1]

missed it last night.

think it's repeated though ain't it. :yep

[Snorkel]

Yeah, it is.

It's not a bad prgram, but I get the impression that Amir's made to give talks to the boys more than he really wants to. It obviously doesn't come naturally and sounds a bit forced as a result. Still, it's good to see him doing something like this; whether it's for publicity or not, the outcome's still positive.

[achillesthegreat]

I think its a really good show.

The lads are changing. The first paranoid guy has gone and Paddy is the weak link now.

Its a shame what happened with the lads when they went out. The street life is still all they know.

What I found FUCKING INTERESTING was how they have now taken to faith. I'm not religious but its interesting. Faith has given them some guidance. The Muslim and Christian guy aren't preaching their religion, they are just using it as a vehicle to teach their principles i.e. hard work, charity etc

Its a really good show. Faith and fighting are what make Khan who he is and it appears it could help these lads to become good guys. Thankfully its a one hour show which really shows us quite a bit.

First week I thought it was ok but this week it grew on me more. Hopefully they will move it an hour earlier now, its on too late. I've got work the next day :(

I agree with Snorkel, Khan isn't a natural show man with his words but his fame is making him be so.

I love seeing how many times Khan says na what I mean.

ok, so im a big softy, but i felt myself getting very emotional when the wee guy who thought all homeless were junkies asked if he could come back the next week to the soup kitchen...it really seemed to get to him....

[lukedella]

cheers for posting on google video! , any ideas when part 2 will be up?

[achillesthegreat]

Like I said they grew on me more this week.

[halftooth]

I,ve managed to watch both episodes, not a bad program, Khan does not have natural mic skills thats for sure, personality wise he seems pretty ordinary.

The lads are really what this program is all about,
it was interesting to see them develop and to watch their reactions to training and discipline, both of which it's obvious their not used to.

The "straightner" made me laugh and automatically made me think of Lee Murray, who was renowned for them.

some of the kids are seeing this as an opportunity
to better themselves, the kid from london had no qualms about giving up the drink for the duration, I reckon the kids will be better of for this experience.

I have to say, the bnp will be hating this program, which in itself is reason enough for broadcasting it:D

[lukedella]

anyone know if this has been uploaded anywhere like the first ep
