The phrase "it's a no from me, Clive!"

I use this intermittently, but have just realised I have no idea where it came from. A quick dis search and web search shows that other people have used it too…

Anyone any ideas?

Stems from the commentary partnership of Andy Townsend and Clive Tyldesley during which Andy Townsend (the co-commentator) would give his opinions on incidents and “Not for me, Clive” would be “I don’t think that is a foul/free-kick/red card” etc etc

People on here are usually so witty and creative i always assume the banter is freshly made

I was always pretty sure it was a football thing but I wasn’t 100% certain until I saw this book in a charity shop recently

“It’s a no from me” feels more a Gray or McCoist thing.

I usually assume a DiSism has come from either football, wrestling, or Peep Show.

If it’s an in-joke on here, you’ll have ignored it 70 or 80 times before you start thinking it mildly amusing.
