Dear all Coventry fans

It's not so much the protest that's riled me it's their "fans" trying to get the away end & trying but failing to attack the supporters coaches outside. Only sport being played at the Ricoh next season is rugby

I don't think the fans gave a shit about the football result mate.

Be like telling the Elephant Man he's got a bit of hair stuck up at the back.

You're probably right.

But was the protest carried out by and large by the fans who previously have been staying away, or were they the fans that have kept turning up regardless? If it's the latter, then presumably they do care about the results to some degree.

Plenty frustrated with their antics in the away end (not helped by us struggling) resulted in us taking the piss.

But that was completely of their own making........if they want to protest and antagonise away fans....what would they expect?
 
I don't blame their fans for protesting the way they did. Sky gave them a stage and they used it. I do however have a problem with the policing and stewarding.
 
They could have had the same coverage just before kick off then let the game be played with no interruptions no sympathy for them in the end they got what they deserve their team lost.

we do though we are trying to get 'up'!
surely as football fans you get the humour of the chant.. you were lucky our people didn't run on the pitch as well
anyways good luck with it.. despite the chant most of us do sympathise as you can see here
 
Is this the same coventry fans who once ran onto the pitch at highfield road at the last match of the season in the early 90s and came running over to the Blades end 'looking for it'...? I recall that a few hundred Utd 'lads' (myself included as i was a bit daft and giddy in them days) decided they were well up for it and also went on the pitch to say 'hello' to them and the sky blue hard men shit a brick each and were last seen leggin it back where they had come from, onto the A444 and on there way to Burton. I nearly pissed mi sen laughing at the mock hardness of those coventry wannabe hoolies that day.

This never happened. If this happened there would at least be a news article on it.

Lucky? Mate, neither Cov or Sheffield United are rated by anyone in the know about football hooliganism.

Er...yes it did mi owd. I can even tell you the date. 4th May 1991. Last match of season at Highfield Road, game finished nil nil. The reason i know it happened...was because i was there. Anyway it was all handbags and nothing really happened...mainly cos the Coventry lads were off like whippets when their bluff got called. Dont give a rats arse if you dont believe me but i know it did.

Wots peed on your chips anyway...is it because your old man was one of the coventry boys that day who shit a brick and had his pride hurt?? Are you the next generation wanting to make up for your old mans shame...ha ha.

I was at highfield road that day, remember cov fans coming over then a few of ours ran to 'greet' them running along that roof on the side of the bottom tier
 
If they wanted to make a stand, nothing would have had a bigger impact than not ONE single supporter entering the stadium.
Make the protest outside, blockade the turnstiles and prevent entry. Almost like a picket line. The story that action would give would make a bigger impact than invading the pitch. It would show genuine solidarity amongst the fans and a huge organisation.

Another action.....every fan turn up in the colours of opponents and support the other side. Again, an unusual and headline grabbing action.
 
The protest was ill conceived. Throwing tennis balls at our players and whistling when we had the ball was stupid - it made the protest about them winning the match and not anti SISU. It understandably riled Blades fans who had forked out to make the trip.I supported Charlton's protest: it was obvious what they wanted to achieve; it was done in an even handed, sporting manner.Tonight, I just saw a set of fans who were willing to throw tennis balls, use whistles and invade the pitch with the objective of helping their side win the game at all costs.
I'm proud to say that despite numerous appalling owners, and many years of underachievement Blades fans have never stooped so low
 
I imagine they'll be charged under rule E20. If they are found to not have done enough to prevent it, they'll probably be fined about £25k.

I think the sanctions are discretionary so if their fans keep doing it, it will end with a points deduction I would think.

The FA need to deal with the whistle blowing as well. This affects opposing sides.
 
All other things aside
What a win

Whistles being blown every time United got the ball causing our players to pause and become indecisive

The referee blowing his fucking whistle every time United got anywhere near into their stride

Cert penalty turned down
Hit the post twice

Game stopped twice

Everything that happened tonight was stopping us getting into our usual rhythm

What more could have gone against us
And still we dug in and won
This team is made of pretty stern stuff

And Coventry fans, if you want empathy from fellow fans make your protest against your own boardroom in a manner that allows the visitors to empathise

Throwing missiles at our players
Getting the game stopped twice
And blowing whistles every time one of our players touched the ball is not the way to do it

SC's book has photos I think.
 
The Coventry fans keep telling us that the result wasn't the point - if that was the case, why were the whistles trying to disrupt us while we were in possession if not to affect the result?

They can bleat about sarcastic songs not showing significant solidarity all they want, but in terms of poor sportsmanship, they took the biscuit.
