View From Coventry

They weren't complaining this time last season when they were top of the league.

To quote Maltloaf.

Have a like Lydon , if only for reminding me of a terrible joke I used to tell my old man repeatedly,
'Why did Sandy leave Crossroads? He was fed up of being pushed around'

'A seminal character from a sadly missed series of sublime and quality television....'

said no-one, ever.

Coventry at at a crossroads ,which is ironic

Interesting point, I did some research on this and only about 7 games in English history have not been replayed. And in all cases the result stood as it was. Never has one club been awarded the result.

This 70 minutes "rule" is an urban myth, almost always the game is replayed ie we potentially could have lost a return game and got no points.

However, of the 7 games leaving the result as it was did not materially affect anything in the league. Four results go way back, the 3 most recent are Man U fans getting the game abandoned right at the end - the Denis Law back heel for Man City - Man U went down anyway.

Our game against WBA. Ref abandoned due to 6 men, 3-0 result stood. Warnock was cleared by the way.

Blackpool fans getting game abandoned at 0-0. Last game of the season, they went down anyway and were given a suspended 3 point deduction.

This is why this recent game could have caused extreme problems and the FA needs to clamp down on these morons. It potentially affect points, the competition and the League.

Credit to the ref, he kept it going but there's no guarantee another ref will. If it's mid season the FA / FL could well suggest a replay. There is no precedent to award the game to the innocent side.

I suspect Coventry fans will try this again unless the side starts to picks up points.

They weren't complaining this time last season when they were top of the league.

Interesting read, thanks. Have a well-earned Like, sir.

I remember walking past the Howard a couple of years ago to the sounds of "One Carlos Tevez" from the Sky Blues.

Sisu, theres only one Sisu.

What goes around comes around.

Yes I remember that as well and now they want sympathy ? Complete twats

 

[RammyBlade]

The same solidarity other fans showed us when we were cheated out of a place in the Premiership? The same solidarity we were shown when we were robbed of a promotion? The same solidarity we were shown when the press ripped us apart for daring to offer a man (proved innocent) training facilities?

Bollocks.

Everyman for himself and Devil take the hindemost.

Very good points ZaBlade - these idiots have very short memories
