The football press conference can be something of a dull affair, with stock questions and stock answers.
Sometimes though tempers boil over and that's where the gold is.
We saw that in full effect on Monday as Neil Lennon took media, pundits and even the government to task for the reaction to Celtic 's trip to Dubai.
To say he was angry would be an understatement as he insisted he and the club had nothing to apologise for.
It was a moment of genuine drama but it's far from the only time a press conference or interview has gone off the rails.
Here are 10 of the greatest manager meltdowns.
Rafa Benitez facts rant
As inauspicious beginnings go "I don't want to play mind games" takes some beating as Benitez fell hook, line and sinker for Sir Alex Ferguson 's wind-up.
The Manchester United boss had spoken about the fixture schedule with Liverpool leading the league and his title rival took the bait.
In a now infamous rant Benitez repeated the word "facts" as he laid out a pre-prepared response.
The Liverpool boss raved: "We know what happens every time we go to Old Trafford and the United staff. They are always going man to man with the referees, especially at half-time when they walk close to the referees and they are talking and talking.
"All managers need to know is that only Mr Ferguson can talk about the fixtures, can talk about referees and nothing happens.
"We need to know that I am talking about facts, not my impression. There are things that everyone can see every single week."
The tirade was widely seen as having backfired as United went on to lift the title.
Antonio Conte responds to match fixing ban
Conte is known for his passion on the touchline but it was quiet fury that was on display as he returned from a ban for failing to report match fixing.
Former Siena player Filippo Carobbio testified that the Juve boss had known that a draw was agreed in Novara vs Siena.
The other members of the squad insisted that was not the case but Conte copped a ban from the Italian FA before being cleared in criminal court four years later.
When he returned to Juve after his ban the future Chelsea boss was incensed, calling the accusations "shameful" with his anger clear for all to see.
It's all Greek for Rino Gattuso
Gattuso the manager is much like Gattuso the player: aggressive.
The Italian went viral for an impassioned rant while in charge of OFI Crete in which he declared performances could be "sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe s***".
As can be seen in the parental advisory video above his translator had a real task on his hands translating a mix of English, Italian and apparently the only Greek word he knows: "malakia".
I will love it
Poor old Kevin Keegan has become a meme for this infamous tirade, and once again Fergie was to blame.
The Manchester United boss claimed teams tried harder against his side than title challengers Newcastle.
After a hard-fought win over Leeds United the Magpies boss responded and the rest is history.
Gesturing at the camera he raged: "When you do that with footballers like he said about Leeds - and when you do things like that about a man like Stuart Pearce...
"I've kept really quiet but I'll tell you something, he went down in my estimations when he said that. We have not resorted to that.
"You can tell him now, we're still fighting for this title and he's got to go to Middlesbrough and get something - and I'll tell you, honestly, I will love it if we beat them. Love it.
"It has really got to me."
Yes Kevin, yes it has.
Trapattoni loses it in bad German
He's one of the most successful managers in history but Giovanni Trapattoni absolutely lost it in his second spell at Bayern Munich.
After a run of poor results he excoriated his players in bad German, with the literal translation in the video above.
A differing sentence structure between German and Italian tripped the legendary boss up in a case of saying the right words but not necessarily in the right order.
Trap accused his stars of being "weak like a bottle empty" and took great delight in repeating the name of Thomas Strunz.
The Italian word "stronzo" is very similar and loosely translates as "a***hole", so his repetition may not have been a coincidence.
Zoology with Nigel Pearson
Feeling the pressure in a relegation battle at Leicester City, Pearson took exception to a particular press conference question from reporter Ian Baker.
After a loss to Chelsea, the Foxes boss hit out at criticism of his team.
When Baker asked what criticism he was referring to, Pearson went on a legendary rant.
He hit back: "I think you must have either your head in the clouds, or been away on holiday, or reporting on a different team, because if you don’t know the answer to that question . . your question is absolutely unbelievable, the fact you do not understand where I am coming from.
"If you don’t know the answer to that question then I think you are an ostrich. Your head must be in the sand.
"Is your head in the sand? Are you flexible enough to get your head in the sand? My suspicion would be no."
It is in fact a common misconception that ostriches put their heads in the sand.
Spalletti offers out a reporter
Luciano Spalletti is known for being tactically astute, inventive and, well, a bit of a difficult character.
Toward the end of his time at Inter it was an open secret that he'd be replaced by Antonio Conte.
When it was put to him ahead of a clash with Chievo that he looked resigned though, the Nerazzurri boss reacted furiously.
Spalletti hit back: "That's offensive.
"If for two years you say it, you say it, you say it and then eventually you get something that's not quality, it's a stab in the dark.
"What would show quality is to say 'tomorrow it will rain', and then it rains.
"If you keep saying it will rain but then the next day it's sunny, 'ok tomorrow it will rain', sooner or later you'll be right but it's not a sign of quality.
"I'm resigned? If you think I'm resigned come and see me later and I'll show you.
"If you have problems come and see me and I'll show you my determination and my character.
"You don't look very calm. You've gone pale and your face looks a bit haggard.
"Come and talk to me and I'll give you the answer you're looking for."
Mourinho gets under Pep's skin
It's not often you see Pep Guardiola truly rattled but Jose Mourinho managed it in his time at Real Madrid.
The Portuguese was up to his usual pre-match tricks ahead of a Champions League semi-final and the Barcelona boss responded.
Guardiola said: "He can do or say whatever he wants.
"In this room Mourinho is the f****** chief, the f****** boss.
"I don't have to compete with him in here."
Roy Hodgson against extracting the urine
He's known as being a cultured and thoughtful man but following his West Brom side's match with Bolton the former England boss lost his cool.
Hodgson was doing a Match of the Day interview and spoke about a decision going against his side.
When the reporter asked about which incident he was referring to the veteran manager reacted angrily.
Hodson shot back: "Which one? How many were there? They only had two shots on goal. One was a penalty and one was a strike at goal that our goalkeeper saved. What decision are we talking about? Let's not take the p*** here.
"There wasn't a f****** penalty in the game. There wasn't one of those ridiculous situations in the game that didn't happen so let's just talk about our performance."
Malesani madness
Alberto Malesani is well known for his press conference tirades, once making up a new word while Genoa manager.
He accused the press of making him out to be "mollo", a phrase of his own design from the Italian verb "mollare" which means "to give up".
Think of it as a Scottish manager coming in and saying "I'm not a giver-upperer".
His finest hour game at Panathinaikos though as he repeated the word "cazzo" - basically the F-word - no fewer than 21 times.
