[Scene is Women’s World Cup match showing on big screen in pub, lots of FANS in pub watching it cheerfully, apart from one guy at the back looking grumpy] 1 FANS [as goal goes in]: YYEEEESSS! 2 COMMENTATOR 1 VOICEOVER ON THE TV: Ooh and there's been a VAR check on that goal 3 COMMENTATOR 2: Yeah Robyn it looks like there’s been a question about it... 4 [show a miserable gammony bloke watching the same from the back of the pub] COMMENTATOR 2: …from Brian at the back of the pub. 5 COMMENTATOR 1: Looking at the replay we can see Brian using this rare moment of uncomplicated national joy 6 COMMENTATOR 1: to talk about men. BRIAN [holding his pint while he watches the screen, grumbling his own commentary]: Grumble Grumble Grumble men’s game 7 COMMENTATOR 2: Yeah you can see from his body position he’s making a dumb and sexist comparison there 8 COMMENTATOR 1: The ref’s made her decision… [Ref returns to the pitch, making one of the big VAR speeches they’ve started doing through her head-mic] 9 REF: MY JUDGEMENT IS… 10 REF: BRIAN IS TALKING BOLLOCKS. 11 PEOPLE IN PUB: YEEEAAH 12 PEOPLE IN PUB [all pointing at Brian]: SHUT UP BRIAN SHUT UP BRIAN
