Title: Adver News: Easty goes back to school Post by: News Monkey on Thursday, March 11, 2010, 12:00:06 Easty goes back to school
TOWN midfielder Craig Easton swapped his boots for books last week when he headed back to school. http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/headlines/5052697.Easty_goes_back_to_school/?ref=rss Title: Re: Adver News: Easty goes back to school Post by: pauld on Thursday, March 11, 2010, 17:50:02 Well done Craig, good to see players putting back into the community and I understand Easton does his fair share in this regard.
BUT: Quote the venture was a huge success, with Orchid Vale literacy co-ordinator Claire Kennedy admitting: “Having members of Swindon Town Football Club advocate reading in our school will not only boost the children’s reading, but will also strengthen links in the community.” No, she didn't. She didn't "admit" anything, she just fucking said it. Unless you're trying to make out that she was initially reluctant to say having footballers read books to kids helps, and your probing journalistic skills forced it out of her. Sorry, but this habit the Adver sports journos have of always having someone "admitting", "conceding" or "insisting" things when they've quite plainly just "said" a perfectly bland statement of fact or mild hope just drives me bloody potty. She said it, just like the players say things to you. |
