Bmda: Wishful thinking?

The disc jockey who played the wrong national anthem at the National Sports Centre prior to last Thursday night's kick-off between Bermuda and Trinidad took full responsibility for the ‘national indignity' yesterday.
At an impromptu Press conference at Bermuda Football Association (BFA) headquarters, Andre Rochester admitted he had played the “wrong” CD and not the one presented to him by BFA official Charles Clarke.

The incident - the latest in a series of recent hiccups during the traditional pre-match playing of the national anthem at international fixtures on local soil - created a furore among locals, particularly those present at the match who stood proudly only to hear the ‘Star Spangled Banner' blaring from the speakers rather than ‘God Save the Queen'.

Heh.
