A GAME OF TWO SCARVES: JAMIE REDKNAPP INVESTIGATES THE TRAGEDY OF HALF-AND-HALF SCARVES IN FOOTBALL

New Paddy Power series sees Redknapp chance his arm as documentary maker to learn about the origins of one of the worst things to happen to football

Footballer-turned-pundit, Jamie Redknapp, is now stepping into the world of hard-hitting documentaries to tackle one of the biggest issues in the modern-day game…the half-and-half scarf.

Paddy Power’s Jamie Redknapp Investigates is a new series that will see the former Liverpool and Spurs legend get to the bottom of the things that really annoy football fans about the modern game.

Episode one sees Redknapp get to the bottom of half-and-half scarves – the ghastly neckwear issue, described by fans he interviews as “Filth”, “Foul” and “So sh*t”.

In the first of a three part series – with episodes two and three released over the fortnight – Redknapp reveals the industry is now worth “over half a billion pounds” and tracks down the inventor of the half-and-half scarf.

The inventor, Brian, explains that the inspiration behind joining two separate scarves together was his own divorce, after his wife cut everything he owned in half.

Sewing his Arsenal and Holland neckwear together, Brian created the world’s first half-and-half scarf – which rather unfortunately reads “Arse land”.

But, at what cost? “Half-and-half scarves have a very short shelf life,” says Redknapp’s next interviewee – environmental activist, Lisa.

Discarded items can unfortunately find their way into nature, with Lisa reporting sightings of a baboon wearing a scarf featuring Tony Pulis at one end Sean Dyche at the other. Although Lisa does say that there aren’t health implications for the animals, they “just look really stupid”.

Redknapp then returns to see Brian once more as he’s told there’s a gift waiting for him. And, after showing off his diversified portfolio (including Manchester United and Liverpool half-and-half facemasks), the inventor gives the former England international his present.

Unfortunately, the Redknapp edition scarf features Harry at one end but the wrong Jamie at the other – Jamie Vardy.

Episode two of Paddy Power’s Jamie Redknapp Investigates, released next Friday, will see Jamie taking on Twitter trolls.

Spokesman Paddy Power said: “Forget diving, dodgy VAR calls and people leaving early – half-and-half scarves are the biggest disgrace in football right now. So, we put our best man on the case to investigate and uncover the ugly truth about this scourge of modern football that we know annoys all proper football fans across the country.

“Because there are some things that just don’t look right together, like pasta and ketchup or Tottenham and trophies.”

The full video can be viewed on Paddy Power’s YouTube and Twitter  pages.

Global behavioural intelligence leader Mindway AI has teamed up with 2mee, the pioneer in Human Messaging, to transform digital risk management. This strategic partnership combines advanced risk detection with personalised messaging to set a new standard for user safety and engagement in the digital landscape.

2mee is renowned for its innovative approach that integrates real, verified human messages directly into digital experiences. By delivering pre-recorded human guidance at crucial moments of friction or uncertainty, 2mee assures operational transparency while drastically improving user trust and comprehension. The platform’s unique integration allows these messages to be seamlessly embedded into user journeys, thus maintaining the flow and integrity of the digital experience while enhancing end-user interaction.

The partnership between Mindway AI and 2mee aligns the strengths of both companies by bridging the gap between behavioural risk detection and immediate, human-centric intervention. This collaboration aims to provide operators with a powerful toolset, leading to measurable interventions and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

“Partnering with 2mee allows us to leverage our advanced behavioural detection capabilities in groundbreaking ways. By integrating our technology with 2mee’s pre-recorded human messages, we are creating a holistic approach to risk management that supports both operators and their customers, while meeting rigorous regulatory requirements. This partnership represents an exciting evolution in how we foster safer digital environments,” said Rasmus Kjaergaard, CEO of Mindway AI.

“Working with Mindway AI allows us to close a critical gap that’s existed for years. Risk algorithms have been excellent at identifying problem gambling behaviour, but tools and research around follow-on preventative action have been significantly lacking. Together, we’re connecting behavioural intelligence with real human intervention inside the journey itself. It’s a unique and genuinely exciting step forward for how regulated operators support their customers responsibly,” Jez White, Managing Director at 2mee, said.
