It's a line that has been said a million times, even between guy friends, but because of how it's said: makes it a unique moment.

He's trying and his heart is there but the comfort level isn't yet. He'll get there.

That´s real men for you. Not that stereotypes one that are afraid of "feeling" something.

Yes never see that coming

Nope, Isaac was more mad at himself. One, for being someone his best friend couldn't trust. And two, after hearing a fan shout faggot at the team, he realised, it happened so many times, he didn't have the chance to be there for his best friend. So, to Isaac, his best friend had to deal with this shit all alone for many many years just because he couldn't be a better friend.

I feel like he was more scared that he was being untrustworthy

Well it's very hard to trust someone that is homophobic, so valid concern.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@gcbryan89I think it was a combination of the two. The key line is “What is it about me that made you think that you couldn’t tell me?” At first, he probably felt really hurt that Colin had been hiding such a huge part of himself from him even though he was his best friend, and took that as an implicit suggestion that he came off as homophobic. It was that suggestion that cut deep. So that’s why he directed his anger towards Colin. But on the flipside, he was probably also reflecting on his own behaviour in the past and how he might’ve contributed to an environment where Colin felt he had to stay in the closet, and in turn started to feel angry and ashamed at himself for allowing it to happen. That’s why he directed his anger at the fan. Hearing a slur that he’d probably heard many times before, but now knowing his best friend is gay, made him realise how much homophobia actually exists in the world, and that his failure to directly challenge it may have been part of the problem, and in that moment, he decided those days were over and he was going to sort that motherfucker out. His tone when he asked that question suggested he wasn’t so much looking for an answer as waiting for confirmation to something he already suspected. So he was relieved when Colin assured him it had nothing to do with him.

I mean, if opportunity presented itself who wouldn't ask a million about it from their gay friend if they are okay with it though 😂

So true ☺️

actually so true, to me this kind of reaction shows that they aren't at all uncomfortable with it and don't feel like they're walking on eggshells, and that's how you want it to be around friends. it also shows that, even if they have some internalised homophobia, they're working on it.

People who can't recognize a platonic relationship don't have any friends. And if they do have friends, then their friends are shitheads.

Very wholesome indeed

Well no, a TON of shows have explored the healthy, platonic male friendship thing. It's been done to death, but Lasso did it well as usual. Respect, but this isn't a thing.

@@vmskum because it needs to be a separate convo lol

umm Turk and JD: whimsical sometimes, grounded others, and addressing from within and outside the relationship when it becomes unhealthy

The reason why Isaac was mad is so cute lol

My heart!!!!

It's a great counter-reply. Isaac can't say he loves him, but "you know I do", and Colin doesn't have to say "I know" because he knows too.

The first time I heard it, I thought he had said “You know I’d do you”. Not gonna lie, disappointed that that’s not what he said

Same: kzfaq.infoUgkxH00N1wyy3N67CKDarZhEmFe2HbBLOUao

Proud of you brother xoxo

Praise the sun!

My best friend thought she couldn't tell me for a similar reason. I was initially mad about it, too, because I felt hurt that she was afraid to come out to me. Turns out, she had a close family member completely closed her off after coming out. After that, I understood why she didn't want to tell me; in case I reacted the same way. Still my oldest and dearest friend. And her soon-to-be wife is cool people, too.

I'm assuming you eventually did, and good for you bud. Always be true to yourself.

That’s the nub

Lol what a surprise too

to be honest, he *is* really fit.

It’s easily Jamie.

throwing shade at Cumberbatch

@@nelsaan Deliberate mix-up of the c and B?!

Yes season one their characters have no depth

Much like Colin in the team showers, they experienced growth.

You had me dying bro 😂

@@Timeless-Moments Without the first season, you wouldn't have seen the revelations. Every character which came off as bad or arrogant or hostile have been exposed to be people (not characters) with issues and foibles and reasons for their previous expressions. They are still as seen in season one (except Roy's voice is a little deeper!), but now we see them are fuller more rounded individuals. Jamie couldn't have had his breakthrough without being the asshole of S1. Doctor Sharon couldn't have had her own revelations without coming off as an asshole to Ted in S2. This is the heart and soul (also sole) of good writing. Not giving an audience what they want; but taking them on a journey. Telling them a story. It's the Lasso Way.

​@@xgonne Well said

LIke he had to ask anyways, Bumbercatch is obviously a swiss and obviously the most fit guy in the team.

Nah it’s Jamie.

1967 Raquel Welch was fit tho. 🤣 I said the same thing 😀

I share the same feeling

Meh, no disrespect but this would not be my first choice. Wouldn't even be in my top 20.

Please enlighten me I really want to know more :)

@@Timeless-Moments No disrespect. We all have our choices. But for me as a straight dude, I gotta go with Matrix Keanu. Beautiful man.

@@williammccormick984 I don’t think he was talking to you

''The One'' is the best xoxo

So am I. I am so ready to spend my monthly salary on all AFC Richmond merch lol

I immediately looked up and added that Bears Den song to my morning drive music.

Their song curation is always on point. My fave are the Rainbow song when Roy come back to Richmond, the song when Roy hugs Jamie after his father abuses him, and that Bears Den song especially when Nate hugs Jade. Edit: An addition: the Lumineers song when Roy touched the Believe sign.

@@rhonita I had no idea who bears den was before that scene.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oKuZgMWSqszWp4E.html just for you guys easy reference xoxo

Yes indeed and I should be the one who thanking you Sir

I'd be up for that!!

Yes a great idea

I don't know anything about British football. Is that why Roy got scouted and had to go off when he was only 9 years old?

@@TheMonroemomma Yes. I'm no expert by any means but kids can be recruited at a very young age to join a Football Club's Academy. It is roughly like going to a boarding school for young aspiring football players. Some Team's academys have reeeeeally long reaches. Lionel Messi was born in Argentina but caught the eye of a scout for Barcelona and ended up moving to Spain to attend Barcelona's Academy. And ended up being a crown jewel in a generation of players from Barcelona's Academy that dominated Spanish and European Football for years.

Well collin is from cardiff, so itd be a bit of stretching.

@@blunk778 true but many football clubs have academies for children and they live at the training grounds

I didn't see that coming tbh

@@Timeless-Moments I didn't see it coming, either. I kept thinking that the writers didn't understand Isaac at all. Like they weren't the ones who created the CREATED the character! LOL!

In the world we live in now we need shows this like to keep us going. Kindness and love

I think that's the hardest part to explain to people, it earns how fucking cheesy and schmaltzy this show is. When you explain everyone looks at you like "sports show? No thanks." Then you try to explain the intricacies but realize you can't because telling someone how layered and well developed this show is like a spoiler in and of itself. You just have to experience it.

Global warming could be arousing lol

​@@Timeless-Moments please describe in what way? I'm genuinely curious

It was planned for 3 seasons only but Jason didn't answer the question of there being a season 4 or not directly in all press

I know, but selfishly I want this series to continue for another 10 years

I know right 😊

I mean, at this point even the cast has been nagging Jason to make season 4. The actress who plays Rebecca said she’d be heartbroken if it ends here. So I think all these voices in unison saying “we want more” goes a long way. Fingers crossed he listens

I don't know if they can keep the quality tho but i gotta believe like how Ted said it i guess

😂

Ted Lasso

Ya he’s on the team hahaha

He’s not good with expressing his feelings. But because they’re best friends, he didn’t have to say. He showed that he did, by just coming over and talking it out

because it's gay. technically he did btw as a straight guy would say to a close friend....

No offense but I think that is the point

Btw genuine question here: did we know they were friends? I genuinely felt blindsided by Isaac's reaction. I'm wondering whether I missed subtle scenes showing their friendship across the three seasons

@@shivermetimbers6128 Season one they spent a lot of time together like a dynamic duo.

Huh, I hadn't thought about it, but you're right. There aren't any overt displays of their closeness. I did assume it, though. I guess it was all of the shots of them standing close by like besties do, or little asides, or meaningful looks? Not sure what magic was used to make me completely accept their close friendship.

When you re-watch the next time, look for how many times they are sitting together when they are out in clubs, etc. It's not overt, but it's there. I love the subtlety of this show! There's always new things to pick up on with each watch.

You missed the entire point of the Issac/Colin relationship. Issac owned up to his mistake and apologized like a man, and Colin accepted his apology because he understood his friends feeling and lack of awareness of Colins feeling and struggles with hiding his sexuality. This scene and the one where he get the red card for going after the fan for his homophobic remark IS Issac realizing how difficult it was Colin all these years. He didn’t force Colin to come out, when Issac found out he kept it to himself and handed it in a manner that was not fair to Colin, but he never said a word to anyone. For you to look at this and just classify Issac as an asshole because he struggled with understanding his own feeling in the situation, then learning from his mistake, to then defended his friend for slander and make the effort to apologize man to man, backing his friend no matter what his sexuality is. The whole point of Ted Lasso as a show is to highlight the growth people can achieve, and that is exactly what this scene is doing for Issac. As a gay man who was in the process of coming out to friends and family, I felt Colin’s feelings but I also sympathize with Issac because everyone has people who they love that they are terrified to tell, even though that person will accept them and people who will need time to process and understand. You being judgmental about this just shows me you totally missed the point of what the show was always meant to be about.
