Coventry 04/12/12

[Robbie]

I know it is a nice easy question, but having been tempted to attend tonight, I was wondering how much tickets were.

With the internet browser at work (IE6) being, let's say 'not very good', it won't access the Blades site.

So, can anyone let me know please?
Also, do they have concession turnstile checks? hahahaha

Coventry is the only away ground I've ever been to where I've been challenged about having a student ticket. Bit of a piss-take that the car parking for this is twice the cost of the actual match though!

Anyone wanna give me odds on a Diego goal?

I'm taking that as a nod toward's this evening's team sheet, rather than an actual request for someone to lay a bet...?

Been talking to Papa Gironimo again have we

Look forward to seeing him in action. Can't remember a kid being bigged up as much as this lad. Hope he's up to it.

Is he set to start or is Danny giving him 2 minutes at the end when are 2-0 down?

We had high hopes of John 'one for the future' Reed back in the early 90's.....!!!

Trust me, this lad is no Reed.

Expecting the Maxime Chanot dig in 5....4....3....2....1....

 

[moDtheGod]

He's a sub, so you can pretty much name your price. He might only get five minutes!

I don't want to take your money anyway. You need it to fund this place

 

[frijo]

Lets hope för a win ,id love Us to win This Trophy cos we need to get rid of Our wembley hoodo to stånd Us in Good stead för play off if needed

 

[Kenilworth]

Sounds like the lad done good. Confident and looking for the ball at all times. Rolling the ball with his studs when three cov players around him. wonder how long he will last before being sold - he certainly sounds better than some of the options we have in the first team - maybe a couple of cameos as a sub in the league would be a good introduction.

 

[TakeTheHighRoad]

This is a serious question - Have we ever won a penalty shootout in a competitive match?

 

[bladeinspaceandtime]

This is a serious question - Have we ever won a penalty shootout in a competitive match?

We beat Wet Sham in an FA cup round a few years ago?

 

[Northyorksblade]

This is a serious question - Have we ever won a penalty shootout in a competitive match?

Yes we beat Coventry in the fifth? round a few years back at Bramall Lane Alan Kelly saved a couple

 

[SwissBlade]

Got an FT score on the text tonight, 1-1. Presume that means a replay in the JP reserve T.....

 

[TakeTheHighRoad]

Who could forget that classic at the start of last season away to Hartlepool? We are absolute dog mess at them though aren't we?

 

[oldblade]

This is a serious question - Have we ever won a penalty shootout in a competitive match?

Yes, frequently.

 

[ShropshireBlade]

Well just thought i'd give a brief report on tonights, match for starters what the hell was Cresswell doing starting.. I think we learned tonight that Cofie should probably be sent back to Man Utd as he just offers nothing at all to the team. For everyone that has been raving about McFadzean he had a chance tonight and did very very little, doesn't seem like a winger, didn't really want the ball and whenever he did have it always wanted to lay it back to Williams rather than make a run. Theres just no creativity in the team whatsoever, McAllister offers nothing, and Doyle gives the ball away more often than not.
It was probably one of the worst games of football you would ever watch, Coventry were pretty poor but we were really that BAD. The only minor positive was the introduction of Di Girolamo, he looks a confident lad and not afraid to have a run at the opposition, i think we might be seeing more of him from now.

 

[Bath Blade]

Yes, frequently.

I remember the days when it felt like we had a good penalty shoot out record, Blackburn, Coventry, Rushden & Diamonds....

Did we win or lose the shoot out at Grimsby on 9/11? I was there but can't remember.

I was at the Blackburn game which if my memory is correct was a night game but cannot remember when.
Any one help to fill in the gaps please.

So I make that 6 wins and 8 defeats on pens.

On balance, I'd take the two QF penalty wins over all the others, leading to SF disappointment

I was there, that was a great night! I used to love Alan Kelly!
And I heard a lot of good things about this Diego kid last night, lets hope he will feature more in Danny's plans in weeks to come?
