Micky if you remember correctly when the said song came on I was on actually on the field. The song was 1 of the top 40 most downloaded songs over the last week and was loaded into windows media on auto shuffle. With hindsight perhaps it shouldn't have been but no reference was made to anyone or anything and no offence or malice was intended. At the end of the day it's a movie tune everyone's heard loads of times before and if narrow minded people want to make an issue out of something so petty then let them. I for one will and always will associate it with the wizard of oz.

Andysilsden brings up a valid point, yes many people do pitch in for free and most of there work goes unnoticed, myself included this is my 13th season of voluntary work for the cougars. People need to realise that people cannot work miracles and certain things can and will never happen without an influx of money.

I myself would love to have professional entertainers and cheerleaders on the field but with a budget of zero this will not happen soon. I do my best to find singers who sing for free and yes they may sing ballads but that's plain and simply because of the delay in sound and not having in ear monitoring.

Some people are quick to knock others but where are they when I have to go up in a cage to take speakers down and find the problem and get them repaired. Where are they when they need to go back up, where are they when something breaks and Im running around like an headless chicken fixing the problem.

If someone has a good idea or a valid point come speak to me, I will listen. If you just wanna moan whine or be negative about anything and everything then don't bother.

'"


Dubane, until Margaret Thatcher died everyone associated that song with the Wizard of Oz and everyone probably liked it in its proper context. However, its current context is the death of Margaret Thatcher and the subsequent campaign to get it into the charts by a number of people who wish to celebrate the event. The song hasn't yet migrated back to its proper context as a song in a kiddies' film so it was inappropriate to hear it at Cougar Park yesterday. It kind of came over as an endorsement by the club of the campaign to celebrate Mrs Thatcher's death, even though - as is clear from your explanation - that is not what it was. Trouble is, that's how it could be understood and the club has to be seen to rise above such things.
Your explanation of what happened is entirely reasonable in my opinion. I do agree that that particular song should not have been included in the download but it's done now. Of all those 40 songs, that one just had to come on. Since you were on the pitch, I do accept that you couldn't do much about it.
On a final note, you are clearly frustrated with this criticism. I can see how you would be since you give your time and effort for free. Don't take it personally, you do a great job.

I think Durham Cougar pretty much sums it up. It should not have been played and what Dubane has to realise is that what he plays/says etc is perceived as the voice of Keighley Cougars, not just his. It was clearly an accident, oversight or whatever you want to call it. Leave it at that. The worst thing you can do is apologise and then start justifying why it was done etc etc. It was put on a playlist that was on shuffle. Firstly, is should never have been on that playlist and secondly by sheer fact is was on a shuffle suggests it had a chance of being played.

It is also fair to say that songs which are going to play for a short slot should be selected. There are plenty of records which make the top 40 which may also be unsuitable.

It is family game and surely the songs to be played need to be considered.
Not randomly shuffled.

Just think there could be people in the crowd, who may have been very happy for it to be played.

Cougars till I Die!:38265.jpg



Couldnt agree more guess who. My problem isnt with the song. Its why would you play a song so contrivetsial thats it obviously going to divide people on a topic in such a way people are celebtating the death of a person?

Once a song has been deemed contriversial in any way thats it. No matter what your opinion on the song is. You cant go play it in public

Dubane has given a perfectly reasonable explanation, of what happened and why the mistake happened. And yes it was a mistake. However it would appear some people wont accept that.

Some people will take offense to many different things and yet others wont. Me personally, it wouldn't have bothered me in the slightest. She was a horrible woman. Who caused misery and suffering for a hell of a lot of people.

I am just thankful that i live in a country that allows me to express my opinion.

The point is that the club should be 100% fully in control of what's played over its tannoy/public address system - not put itself at the mercy of some 'shuffle' system.

The point is, It's happened, It's been explained and it won't happen again.

I'm surprised people are still bothering to discuss it further?
