Genuine Open Question to Dave Sweetmore on 12:38 - Jan 24 by AtThePeake | I'll be honest about the fact that Eden is a friend of mine and I thought the way he was treated in that whole debacle was disgusting - as was the reaction of Dave on Twitter. Nor did I even notice that Oliver's Army was played on Saturday. I still don't think that takes a single thing away from my post above about the decision to play the song this Saturday. Some people may think that means I'm one of the people with an 'agenda' against Dave Sweetmore but in all honestly, I really don't care who plays music before the game. I'd have loved for it to have been Eden doing it, but he'd have absolutely zero interest in doing so anymore so beyond that, I couldn't care less. What I would question is why on earth something as inconsequential as the music being played before a game is as controversial as it is, and why someone in a role that should be considered a relatively minor one has so many people that seem to have 'personal agendas' against him? |
It started quite a while back, the word "agendas" seems to come up on this board quite a bit. Someone somewhere must feel quite the trend setter! There's no agenda on my part but there are genuine growing concerns. Your absolutely right, the music and the individual playing it should be inconsequential. It's absolutely a bizarre circumstance when they aren't. That being said, I didn't find Andy Curran's language inconsequential, or the language directed at Abraham Odoh via social media. I certainly don't think it's remotely acceptable to broadcast it over the tannoy, especially when it's against the artists request, especially when it's a club employee with a track record of pushing buttons with grim language.
