Whistling

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

Can someone enlighten me what the whistling is in aid of?

I'll give 10,000 bonus points if someone can convince me of a justifiable reason for it.

 

[Baaaaaaa Blades]

Why the hell are there not more stewards /police , they knew this was possibly planned and theres bugger all of them ! Feel for our fans there ,

 

[brownie4583]

Those whistles were horrible must have been a nightmare for the players,all credit to them

 

[ljk]

Wretched display from their fans. You have to have sympathy for them, but bringing whistles and trying to get the game postponed or delayed is embarrassing and self-obsessive. Just don't go.

Football fans are a collective. If you share the good times together, you have to share the bad. If united fans did that in protest for a home game I wouldn't know what to say.

 

[YES Blade]

Got the three points, so job done and we move on to the next match.

Fuck Coventry, hope they go down. We've had shit owners in our time but we've never resorted to shit like that!

 

[Baaaaaaa Blades]

Thanks to the Coventry fans , the stoppage let there own defence fall asleep and Billy did the business ! I wonder how they will feel if they go down by 1 point , will they think back to this game!
Horrible atmosphere , well down lads , special mention to lavery , thought he did really well when he came on and made a difference

 

[Jesus_was_a_Blade]

You have to have sympathy for them

Before the game I did.
Now they can't get relegated fast enough for me. If I never hear of Coventry again I'll die a happy man.

If our club was run for years like there's has I would expect our fans to have done a few protests and its easy to criticise Coventry fans when we aren't in the same situation. Clearly they're very frustrated and its not to dissimilar to Blackpool. Its not right but I think we should show some sympathy. If they'd stayed there and the game abandoned at 1 - 1 I'd be saying different.

 

[BushBlade]

Great ball in for the winner. As soon as I saw it I thought we'd score.

But how weird was all that shit? Can't really blame them for putting in a poor performance under those circumstances.

 

[DifferentClass]

Shit owners are a cancer but Cov fans brought it on themselves.

 

[Bridge Blade]

Quality billy boy got us out of the shit tonight.

Why protest and impact on the match? Protest before and after the match, but support the team during the match.

 

[ThatJa]

Saw a few times where they constantly blew like it was a foul acting as the ref. Pathetic.

That has to have affected the performance tonight, it was ok but nothing spectacular. 2-1 tho we will most certainly take that. Could be valuable come may.

i agree but as I said if we had suffered at the hands of Sisu for years like they have I think it would get ugly too because our fans are very passionate and a minority at every club always go to far.

 

[8lade]

What else are we going to have to put up with this season? Seriously just let us play some fucking football and rise or fall on the merits of that, I'm getting absolutely sick of these utter wankers pulling all sorts of pranks to get an advantage.

 

[Small Mendonca]

They should be fined and points deducted for that. If that was us, we'd be liquidated.

 

[knowsnowt]

Anna McNeill would have been proud of them.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

I'd be rate fucked off with the cov fans if we hadn't won.

But we did so fuck um, the irony is they probably would have got something if they hadn't invaded the pitch

 

[originaltrueblade]

Have a demo yes but don't invade the pitch. Demonstrate before or after the game. What really got me is that some
of their fans deliberately used the whistle to mimick the refs whistle and more than not when we had the advantage or were going forward.....SHARPY brought justice!!

But we've been in far worse situations. Remember Woolhouse, Samantha Hashimi and no stand on John Street? Deane and Fjortoft being sold on the same day? Winning nothing for 90 years? I could go on but, for the shit we've put up with, the fact that we haven't resorted to pitch invasions, pathetic blowing of whistles etc. and get around 20k fans every game (and large away followings) shows our true worth. I think it's known as supporting a club. As a club, we know our place and have got used to being shat on from a great height.

Its not right but I think we should show some sympathy.

Coventry as a club are nothing. Would they show US sympathy? Would they fuck. Instead, they probably rejoiced when wealthy owners came in and they moved to a shiny Ricoh Arena. Now it's gone tits-up, why should we be bothered?

Coventry are classless, win-less, fan-less and hopefully heading for Div. 2. Their fans are just bitter that we've driven another nail in their coffin. Their fans - while calling us 'classless' etc - then go on to celebrate one of our fans being 'decked'. They're the midlands (small town in Birmingham) equivalent of Barnsley. Fuck them.

Thank the Lord for Kevin McCabe.

The series of protest organised by The Jimmy Hill Way Alliance have very successfully highlighted the plight of the club nationally and locally. The peaceful on pitch protest during the match against Sheffield United was seen by a national TV audience and yesterday’s sit in also gained good coverage.



Hopefully these and future activities will continue to pile on the pressure onto SISU and make their investors question their involvement with SISU and therefore our club.



During the Sheffield match the atmosphere was successfully stoked up by the use of large numbers of well co-ordinated whistles from certain sections of the crowd, highlighting the frustration and anger amongst the majority of Sky Blue fans. However the Sky Blue Trust believes the continued random blowing of whistles by individuals is proving counter-productive both in terms of an instrument of protest and in causing division amongst supporters.



Whilst to most fair minded observers at the match the cause of the Bolton equalising goal was simple defender error, some elements are blaming a whistle for causing momentary confusion in City’s ranks. This form of protest is now doing more harm than good to the protest movement which we are fully behind and the Trust is calling on all supporters to cease the use of whistles at games.



The Trust continues to fully support the efforts of The Jimmy Hill Way Alliance to rid our club of owners SISU, fully backs Russell Slade and the team and calls for all supporters to unite together behind both the protests and the team but without the whistles.

In other words "Encouraging people to blow whistles at a football match was always a stupid bloody idea and bound to backfire. Whoops"

This form of protest is now doing more harm than good and we call on all supporters to cease the use of whistles at games....

So in effect what they are now saying is that after trying to influence the scoreline in the recent game v Utd by the use of whistles to unsettle and confuse United's players and cause momentary lapses of concentration, they have now decided that it can come right back at them and can bite them on the arse and can also potentially cost them a goal or a positive result. They therefore no longer think this course of protest action is appropriate.

I wonder if Coventry's protesters had scored a late winner against someone because of a whistle incident whether they would be pulling the plug on their heroic whistle protest....no...? no me neither.

As its now cost them...they no longer feel the need to have the whistles to highlight their own plight. If it had cost Utd it would have all been for the good of fans everywhere. Fkin hypocrites. I hope that shithole of a club and its fans go down now.

 

[Torrix1889]

Cue the next away side taking a shit load of whistles.....lol

Bolton's extra point could cost us promotion

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Bolton's extra point could cost us promotion

If we're going to suggest the end of the game disruptions affected both our game and Bolton's then we've still ultimately benefited – without the late goals we'd have only had one point more than Bolton (they lose, we draw), in reality we got two more than Bolton (they draw, we win).
