His players couldn't match him in the deadpan stakes.

There is no tree on stage: When they discuss, with deadpan practicality, the possibility of hanging themselves, they peer into the audience.

After staying out to applaud the away end at full-time, he deadpanned that his situation was "a lost cause" when asked if he could turn things around with time.

When asked if they would like a little more time to catch their breath in between releases, Keeho pauses to translate after which quirky singer and dancer Soul deadpans, “Yes!” dissolving them into giggles.
