A hilarious Jarrad Branthwaite interview sees a journalist apologise as the player on loan at PSV from Everton, sticks up for Carlisle.
After inadvertently insulting Jarrad Brathwaite’s hometown, an embarrassed reporter had to make a quick apology, saying sorry in case of offending him.
The 20 year old, who is currently on loan with PSV Eindhoven in the Dutch top flight, was born in Cumbria and joined the Blues in 2020 from Carlisle United.
Jarrad Branthwaite’s interview while on loan at PSV is fantastic. Poor Carlisle 🤣🤣

After PSV’s 3-1 win against FC Emmen on Wednesday night, the centre-back was being interviewed by ESPN reporter Hans Kraay Jr. when he decided to share his experience from a previous trip to Carlisle United.
Kraay said: “You didn’t score many goals in your life. You played at Carlisle, Carlisle United. I’ve been there once with Brighton. Then I phoned my mum and said ‘mum I’m there’. She said ‘where?’, I said ‘I’m at the end of the bloody world!’ Is that the end of the bloody world, Carlisle? It’s a punishment to play there.”
In a slight awkward reply, Branthwaite said: “For me no, it’s my hometown, so for me it was good there.”
Kraay then added: “It’s your hometown?! Sorry about it!”
Branthwaite made an impression on Eindhoven supporters during his season-long loan. Despite playing in defence, he has scored three goals in 20 appearances.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, the boss of PSV, was less concerned about Branthwaite’s Carlisle roots and made it clear after the match that he would love to keep the Everton youngster beyond the end of the season, Liverpool are keeping tabs on him however.
Nistelrooy said: “He is a great talent. The boy is 20, but he has a future. He is good on the ball, can play on the left or the right of centre-back because he is two-footed. He has height and speed, so he is very complete.”
Although it’s unclear what Branthwaite will do next, he will hope that Dutch journalists will have a positive view of his home town.
