Sweet Caroline

Post by decorator2 » 22 May 2015, 23:38

Just a small moan compared to my many others...I wish the powers that be would ask pre match entertainer NOT to sing Sweet Caroline BEFORE a game. It's a winning song and we can't afford to tempt fate. Please don't do it. :oops:

Hardly saying its his fault n thats just daft of you to say that, just saying its a victory song n would be nice for it to be just used after match not before.

Can you please tell me when I said we lost because of a song? I merely said I personally don't like it sung before games, superstition and all that. I watched the game (at the ground) and could see the reasons why we didn't win. I am over it now, still got a sore throat. Still think we shouldn't play the song before the game, don't need to get over it.

Absolutely spot on.

Everyone knows the reason we lost is that my wife washed my lucky shirt after the Catalans game - we've not won since.

Coincidence? I think not!

This was meant as a light hearted post...not too serious at all. Hope it has been taken this way.

I saw silverwood singing along while he was warming up before kick off, now THATS bad luck
If winning isn't everything why do they keep score?

I think we should play 16 tonne by Tennessee Ernie Ford before games.

Old fashioned toe tapper with many a true word in the lyrics :)

First of all, the media team at Cas asked me to sing Sweet Caroline before the game otherwise I wouldn't have considered it. I also think its a bad omen. However, I don't think it has anything to do with the poor levels of performance from the players that means we don't get to hear it after a game.

Also, Thank you for the vote of confidence. I'm sure it wasn't that much of a "terrible rendition".

The reason we didn't hear Sweet Caroline on Thursday was the two poor rulings by the video ref. Even though we had a bad first half the video ref, cost Cas the game

Your rendition of it was never in question, your voice is lovely. I just think they should have given you the mic back at the end of the game for that particular song. It is after all their decision not ours. Keep on singing.
