00:00Were you supportive of Mark Gahy wearing the armband that he wanted to wear?
00:04Pardon?
00:05Were you supportive of Mark Gahy's decision to wear the armband that he wanted to wear?
00:09Oh yes, we respect every single player and especially Mark as our captain.
00:12Mark had a fantastic game today and I think everybody who knows him, Mark,
00:18is a fantastic player, he's a great guy, very humble
00:22and I think we shouldn't make it bigger than it is.
00:26Keep it calm, he's very respectful to everyone in the club
00:30and I think we're all in football, we're all against discrimination,
00:35against abuse in every single part and so this was a great campaign
00:39and I think that's it.
00:41Were you surprised by the remarks from the FA?
00:43Obviously they were not aware and did the club speak to him beforehand?
00:46Did you speak to him beforehand?
00:48Ah yes, we spoke about it, I speak to Mark quite often,
00:52he's my captain and he's no child who's 15,
00:57so he's an adult person like every one of us
01:00and he has his opinion and we accept and respect every opinion.
01:04This is the quote of this campaign,
01:09he's being tolerant and Mark is very tolerant so everything is good.
