    Jim Blyth's comments on Oggy...

    ...on the phone in. Clive read out an email. I'm guessing its the Jim Blyth, probably our best ever keeper since Bill Glazier. When someone of Blyth's knowledge and experience comes out with such a scathing attack on our goalkeeper (Burge) and coach its time for the club to have a look at what's...

    Whitley Abbey 2 Coventry City 0

    I was at this school from 1973-80 . It was bloody rough as I recall. I was thinking that we had some damned talented footballers, some a bit older than others, in different teams (under14s / 16s / 18s etc) . I reckon if I put together all the best 11 that I remember in the right positions we...

    Jodie Jones fixing his hair at Bradford free kick...

    Anyone else see it? Second half , can't remember whether Bradford were 1 or 2 up at that point but they had a free kick and it needed a 2 man wall at which point Jones , who was part of the wall, decided to play with his hair band, take it out, rearrange his top knot thingy and put the band back...

    Season ticket rethink ? ..the Robins factor.

    Anyone out there who was undecided or unlikely to renew now having a rethink? Must admit I wasn't going to renew next season, but this gives food for thought . We are relegated, Robins or not, but if the club are showing the slightest signs of ambition then that's welcome.

    Relegation possible by 18 March.....

    Dear Supporters By my calculation we could be down if we lose the next 4 and the teams just above take 10 points out of a possible 12. That's unlikely (them taking 10 points) Apologies if I'm wrong, but if I am it looks likely that we could be confirmed relegated by the time we get to Wembley...

    CUT ADRIFT.....

    I haven't looked at results elsewhere after Bury, but am wondering how many successive wins we now have to put together simply to catch the team 5th from bottom assuming that they pick up one point per game until the end of the season (they'll pick up a bit more of course) I can't be bothered...

    Could Wembley be your final game ?

    Just wondering for those season ticket holders and regular supporters whether you might go out on a high on April 2, win or lose. I don't know whether it's possible to be mathematically certain of relegation by then, but I'm guessing it might be. If we are down by then, anyone thinking of...

    Spare a thought for Tim Fisher...

    In amongst the finger pointing, the anger, the frustration, the welcome distraction of a Wembley cup final, please remember that working his socks off for the good of our disastrous club is Mr Tim Fisher. I don't know whether he was even at the match today to witness the 0-3 drubbing under the...

    Why is the "Jimmy Hill Way" near the Ricoh ?

    Jimmy's statue is at the Ricoh for obvious reasons. It was put there before we lost the stadium. I can understand that perhaps the idea is to link a road carrying Jimmy's name in the direction of Jimmy's statue. Perhaps that's it . We no longer own the Ricoh. If we move out of the city or even...

    Yakubu's fitness...

    ....lets face it he needs a fair bit of match practise after Gillingham. Actually he probably needs a pie.

    Slade's post Oldham interview .....

    Did anyone think he sounded like he was on the verge of giving up ? Some of the stuff about it being easier if we were really rubbish all the time made me wonder if he was becoming desperate . If we lose the next two matches I do wonder whether he'll get to the end of the season.

    A question I never thought anyone would ask me....

    When you say you went to the Coventry City cup final, someone sooner or later will ask you "Which one ?" A rye smile on will creep across your face, particularly if you're fortunate to know your answer will be "both" I never thought that would ever happen, but it will . :emoji_grin:

    Driving down to London on the day.....

    When I do a trip to the smoke I usually park at Hendon in a side street and get the tube into the centre. Anyone got any tips on free parking north of Wembley up to before Watford and getting an underground/overground (wombling free) from any station on the way . Which is the best station to aim...

    Steward raised fist at supporter at end....

    Did anyone else on here see that ? Those in the immediate vicinity did and asked her what the hell she was doing ? Happened as hundreds were clambering over the hoardings between blocks 20 and 21 in the gangway. She lost it, clenched her fist and pulled her arm back ready to hit a supporter. 3...

    Tonight's phone in .......

    In particular Clive Eakin trying to say to supporters that perhaps SISU should be praised somewhat for NOT selling in the transfer window period. No one was having any of it. That brings me on to a point that is banged on about on here : that CCFC is completely separate to SISU and that SISU...

    Semi-final : Will buying tickets be a nightmare ?

    Fantastic home draw, and hopefully a decent crowd but already I'm thinking how on earth will the club deal with the likelihood of a crowd in excess of 15,000, Who gets priority, where do we buy tickets from if people don't want or can't buy them online . Are we going to queue for 6 hours to one...

    Surely we need a big target man up front...

    It's so obvious I must be wrong. We're lumping the ball up and it's coming straight back. Even someone like Clive Platt , who wasn't the quickest off the mark , would do a job. The players we have up front aren't physically able to cope with a line of 6 ft defenders week in week out.

    Name this player..........

    [PDF] Played in the late(ish) 1970's for a relatively short time. Nice hat. Regarded as the best goalkeeper outside the top flight when he came to us.

    Guess the crowd for Bolton.....

    This is a tricky one. We're in a dire situation right now, with Fisher's recent comments adding to the dismay of our supporters. On the other hand we do have a new manager with a couple of signings already. And it's a bank holiday. So a stab at 10, 249. To be honest I haven't a clue.
