not a pathetic little man, THE REAPER...THE GRIM REAPER

i'll give you a quick answer. it was discussed at length on the sunderland forum. opinions ranging from a blatant dive and a disgrace right through to a penalty. he certainly made it look good but in his defense he was moving at speed so he was going to go flying whatever happened. you...

3,000 to 1. come on man, it wasn't a fist fight, just football fans letting a corrupt cheat know that they haven't forgotten what he did. Jimmy Hill enjoys the limelight and he played up to it. anyway, i'm off to the man city forum. we played them in a pre-season friendly in 1963, drew 2-2 but...

it was the corruption that happened afterwards that people don't forget. did you see the reception Jimmy Hill got at fulham v sunderland a couple of years ago, its on youtube. long before your relegation battle this season people didn't need to be told about Jimmy Hill, they all knew straight...

i've moved on years and years ago. like most people who believe in fair play its mildly amusing to see the tables eventually turned. we've been where you are and were strong enough to rise again. lets see how strong your club is now the chips are down.

i can't vouch for the six sunderland fans you worked with but 99% who watched the club in that era know that we were cheated. they can't change what happened as they were ONLY FOOTBALL FANS with no influence over the FA or justice. i personally don't know anyone who doesn't think we were cheated...

whether i think your a fool or not i haven't called you it. people bringing the war, bombing, murder, and whatever else are well out of order. this has nothing to do with any of those more serious issues. this is soley about a FIXED FOOTBALL MATCH. people's definition of fixing may be different...

if we had won then the other two teams involved would have had to fight it out fairly in a proper football match for 90 minutes. i believe coventry had the better goal difference so that would have infuenced the bristol "tactics" and how they played the game. i'm surprised you think that knowing...

i haven't called you a fool. it would be an advantage to both coventry AND bristol to know the sunderland score in advance. they would know whether they both had to play to win or fix the result to be a draw by not trying. if you can't see why it is an advantage to know other scores in advance...

maybe so, but the FA enquiry didn't think so. they found coventry guilty of gamesmanship. luckily for them Jimmy Hill was able to decide his own punishment. i doubt cheating like that will be allowed to happen again as strict rules have been put in place to prevent the likes of Hill. i don't...

Jimmy Hill was very aware that knowing the sunderland score in advance would be an advantage. hundreds of thousands of football fans knew the same. Jimmy Hill was the forerunner to ensure that NO MORE corrupt end of the season antics take place. ALL games that have bearings on key positions...

what about the sunderland fans panicing to get in at goodison and selhurst park, didn't they panic enough? if there was an "emergency situation" which i'm sorry but i doubt to use it to gain an advantage is unsporting at the very least.

again, not wishing a banning order but this isn't true. coventry were found guilty. Jimmy Hill was on the panel that decided the "punishment" which was "not to do it again"!! i can understand people who weren't even born wondering what the fuss is but the sunderland fans' main focus is Jimmy...

not wishing a banning order but do you think its only coventry fans who have difficulty getting to games on time? do you think that all 10,000 plus sunderland fans were inside goodison for start of the midweek game? or in 1997 were the 15,000 sunderland fans inside for kick-off in south west...
