THE KILLING OF A SACRED … LAMB
Vested interest is a powerful thing. Often the people with the biggest platform, shouting the loudest, are not always the ones we should be listening to. Just look at Mayor Joe Quimby. Yet journalists and broadcasters continue to stick microphones in front of elected officials and Proper Football People, who make arguments and push narratives that seem to directly serve their own position, and nobody else. It’s a tiresome merry-go-round. So excuse the eyes rolling into the back of Football Daily’s head when Ange Postecoglou starts defending the abolition of FA Cup replays in the name of fixture congestion after his Tottenham side [gah, we failed abysmally, Nigel – Football Daily Ed] laboured to a nervy extra-time win over non-league Tamworth in Sunday’s third-round match at the Lamb Ground, capacity 4,000.
