Louie heard you … he just doesn’t want to kick the ball to you.
Our home is less than a kilometre from a large park and sports ground. On a clear day we can hear some of the activity at the ground from our back yard.
There was quite obviously a footy game in full swing on Saturday. I could hear the muted sounds of cheering, an occasional whistle and then came a clear voice calling out. “Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie.”
I’m sure it was a player calling on his team mate to kick or pass the ball in his direction. It’s a shame that his football skills weren’t as legendary as his shouting ability. If I could clearly hear the call over half a kilometre, three roads and several houses away, I reckon that whoever had the ball would certainly have heard him. He obviously just didn’t think that Mr Shouty Man was the right option at that point in the game.

Makes me think of the ole Modern Talking Song “Brother Louie”!
Maybe he was just trying to sing that Kingsmen song and got stuck on the first line.
Will broken record have meaning in years to come?
As a foreigner, I found this post confusing, haha! I don’t know what it means, but I love the phrase, “footy game.”
Haha i work for a footy club atm and know exactly what you are talking about. The coaches only method of motivating players is to yell at them (as if the intensity of yell determines how well they get the point over). The players actually do drills that involve yelling at each other
