I got a mess from Dave, which was quite personal. I tried to ring to try and talk to him about it, which I've always been open to. I kw I've been open to guys when I finished playing. I said if I'm in media and writing things or saying things that you don't like, just come and speak to me.
It was never a personal thing n until this point. This is probably what drove me to write article as well, part of it. It was definitely a factor. Some of stuff that was said in that, I won't say it. I think that's up to Dave to say it if he wants to talk about it. re was some stuff in re that was extremely disappointing, what he said, and pretty b to be honest.
