Pre-Match View From Coventry

[pommpey]

I feel that a lot of Blades on here have shown themselves to be utter cretins in relation to Coventry City, their fans and their social action.

'Social action'? It was the disturbance of a Div One League fixture. How would you feel if that game was called off and we lost the rematch? How would you account for your support to the hundreds of fans who'd paid to go and watch an away game only to come away from it feeling robbed? What precedent would your 'social action' make?

I would have liked to have seen a similar social movement overthrow the McCabe dynasty at Bramall Lane [McCabe is primarily responsible for our six years in the third division - as I have argued many times on here before], so I have total empathy and sympathy with the Coventry supporters who demonstrated against their incompetent owners during our game there in December.

I disagree entirely. I have no real warmth for McCabe and the only bit which does ring true is his culpability for the club's demise and sustenance of lower league football. But we have a different method of showing our displeasure; we debate the in-club and on-pitch affairs on here and if it boils over to the stands, we either give them the cold shoulder at the end of a dismal season or its in the car park, never onto the field of play. I wouldn't blame McCabe if he dismissed any such actions and set his resolve to sit a crisis out even more if we showed that level of stupidity.

Invariably, it takes direct action to achieve social transformation, as history proves, so I support those Coventry fans seeking to do just that in the interest of their club.

It does if you are an oppressed minority, a member of a popular political uprising or you have a point. I don't doubt some CC supporters were delighted to see SISU take over at one point as they were all over the place. But the fans have deserted that club in droves, pushing revenues down, causing player sales and a dearth of on field talent. This in a newish stadium at the arse end of football. Sheffield United and others have ridden the storm, and their fans have continued their support and broadcast their happiness or displeasure in many constructive ways. Last December's ridiculous gesture, the whistles and the pitch invasion was deconstructive and ended in humiliation and ignominy for the club and its fans - right in front of the watching public. And we beat them and remain at the direct opposite ends of the division facing an either-way transition. McCabe has faced his critics both within and outwith the club and we are now moving up, whilst those clowns are moving the other way. I have no sympathy.

Great night that was! Wasn't it Holdsworth with the final pen though?

Great to see Ogrizovic's Adidas world Cup boots

Definitely Quinn with the key penalty. Holdsworth was the last minute hero in normal time.

 

[Hblockblade]

I pity Coventry fans pointless club pointless fans,let's see how many turn up tonight to
Determine if they think we're mugs are not

 

[itsinyerblood]

I've got a suspicion that 39,800 Coventry supporters will remain back in Cov, I mean, two games a week will be far too much for these hardened followers of the sky blue faith.

"Its funny but if we were top of the league"

No not funny but unbelievable, that bunch of no hopers won't even exist as a club after next season let alone top the Northern Intermediate FFS

 

[Darthblade]

Hilarious!

For a club which has ridden high on a vaguely remembered trophy win way back when people were losing interest in the FA Cup it is a bit rich for them to criticise us in any way as being 'small time'. In their PL years they were always known as '3 points' and are really only significant because:

1. The Donkey Kick
2. Jimmy Hill
3. That shit-brown kit

It also amuses me where they go on about 'class'. Coventry, for fuck's sake. It's Birmingham's colostomy bag. A visit there tells you all you need to know as to why people in the same family shouldn't fuck each other.

pommpey

Indeed they could be classified as the "Dingles" of the midlands ........

Walsall are classier than those pig loving wankers

They really do seem to have a hard-on for the piggies ....... perhaps deludeds are drawn to each other ....

UTB & FTP

 

[Darthblade]

Tbh if I had to pick between Wednesday and Untied, I’d always go with Wednesday, they just seem to be the more family club and better run.

Yes amazing ....... a family club better run; who fail to pay their debts to local businesses and only remain in business because the fucking Co-op were incompetent enough to write off £30 million of debt

UTB & FTP

I'm sure that little fact got nicely glossed over when they were fellating each other.

 

[Darthblade]

Cheats never prosper..
can't wait for the whistles and tennis balls...and the pitch invasion

It'll be funny to see them invade the pitch from the top-deck of the BL stand ........... LEMMINGS !!

Same family club that do absolutely fuck all for their local community whereas ours are regularly involved in projects, making donations to fundraising raffles, etc.

I suggest you read my contributions to this thread, and the other one about this situation, for a reasoned perspective on things.
Not one response from PUSBCCFC has answered any of the points raised.
Your only "like" on your post has come from our friend from the sky blue city - only because you sympathise. However, your sympathetic prose is based purely on a feeling of "there for the grace of God" - it's not.

Read them.
Their plight is not as bad as Orient or Blackpool and is quite similar to Charlton.
But they feel as though they are the hardest done by.
They also feel they shouldn't be downsized to the level of Rochdale BUT they were that before Jimmy Hill and given the fickle nature of their support - they will be going there again.

[Clarkey87]

I would never like to see that happen to........any team in the football league no one deserves that, especially not the fans........But to wish them into administration and to disappear is a bit pathetic and childish.

That needs clarification a bit.

I personally would wish this exact thing on the pigs and would revel in seeing that happen to them and their fans.

Don't know any Blade that wouldn't.

hahahaha seriously?

 

[Hamburg Blade]

I see it as a symptom of the modern snowflake attitude to anything that is mildly upsetting. What Coventry fans don't realise is that we've had our years of being badly run, near bankruptcy, no investment, best players sold again and again, we've also dropped down to the fourth, we've just had six seasons in the third - but we direct the protests to the people that need to hear it, not the TV viewing public and not the fans of other clubs who've their own problems. And we do it with a degree of stoicism and realism. Coventry just seem to be a set of mardy arses lashing out at everyone - boohoo life's not fair. They've achieved nothing and made few friends. They need to keep supporting their club loyally whilst doing everything they can to get a change of owner - if I was looking to buy a club, I'd take one look at their fans' behaviour and buy a different club.

 

[Maidenhead]

So in summary Pommpey you arent that keen on them ?

In fairness there's a lot of things that Pommpey aint keen on.

Sorry mate

So let me get this right, in a game where they could be relegated only 150 fans are coming up to support their team.

Just let that sink in a minute

Don't think they can be relegated tonight.

 

[DaveBassettsgoneonholiday]

Have any of the Coventry lot stated how useful the protests were (against us, on Sky TV) as regards the viewing public actually doing something positive on the back of all the balls & whistling & general attempts at ruining the game ?
You know, as in actually finding someone to buy out SISU rather than just saying, "oh dear, poor Coventry.....oooh look, another series of Game of Thrones coming next year".

 

[Sean21]

Maybe they hate us because their chairman Tim Fisher is a local lad, he went to school in Dronfield.

 

[Grecian2000]

I have never had anything against Coventry (wanted them to win the cup when Houchen scored, always enjoyed Highfield Road as a visit etc.), didn't go the game earlier in the season so no resentment from me at all. Feel sorry for any club whose owners prove themselves to be cunts.

However, this alignment they seem to have with the pork puts things in a whole new light. Are they now as deluded as their friends from South Barnsley? Fuck them and their little dog too . . . .

 

[Diamondlife]

Cheers Roy, appreciated as always sir

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

You've spent so much time on this board trying to mock posters instead of actually engaging with people to explain what your problems are and then when posters bite back you go crying on your own board saying what a bunch of idiots we are.

It comes across as a wind up. You come across as a troll.

 

[sheffielder]

I thought if gillingham won they were. My bad

 

[BushBlade]

...and the day after we've overthrown the McCabe dynasty?....

The pigs take over and start saying some are more equal than others?

 

[beatific blade]

Cooooventry is full of cunts,
Full of cunts,
Full of cunts,
Cooooventry is full of cunts,
We looove SISU!

In fairness, I recall that one or two of us at the time did trying politely explaining our point of view, including pointing out that the whistling etc happened throughout the game, and that we understood your frustration etc etc - but it was all thrown back in our face.

I would go further and say that over the past 4 years or so I've visited more than 20 clubs, some on a number of occasions, including the lane twice, and that was a sense of aggression at the Lane and with SU supporters that I've not experienced elsewhere. Of course, this will be the effect given by a minority (just as we have our own idiots). But this thread does the majority no justice.
