    Is it just me or this an awful comparison? Wan Bissaka arm is way away from his body, with further distance to the ball. Definite pen for me. Burnley player is very close to the ball and arm down by his side. Would be a harsh pen IMO. Saying that, I’m not even sure anymore on the handball rule...

    Hopefully we’ve got a cracking new LB lined up then. Unless he’s said he wants out, I think Bidwell still has a lot to offer for next season.

    Match Thread Blackburn Rovers - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 27th Apr

    Excited for the prospect of what this side could look like if we add 2-3 more real quality players next season on top of getting Saka back and EMC in, as well as some of this seasons signings having that extra year championship experience. I’m pretty sure Sheaf will have Prem suitors and will...

    Championship thread 23/24

    Neither Leeds or Ipswich have seemed like they’ve wanted autos the past few weeks, horrible form to take into the playoffs. Would be gutting to finish on 90+ points and lose in the POs

    Peter Bankes needs investigating

    Go ask Forest about clear and obvious errors with penalties. we never see Referees sent to the screen to overturn their decisions. If referee didn’t give that, he wouldn’t have been sent to overturn it. <—- 1st minute is literally sky sports talking about how harsh a penalty it was to give...

    Peter Bankes needs investigating

    Im not saying I wouldn’t have given it. But if the ref didn’t, VAR wouldn’t have intervened.

    Peter Bankes needs investigating

    It wouldn’t. Look at the penalty Chelsea didn’t get against Man City. VAR would’ve sided with the on field decision.

    Peter Bankes needs investigating

    That’s never happening. What compensation do you give the side who we replace? (England can’t be given an extra European place arbitrarily) It’s over. Offsides are already changing next season, we just have to accept that VAR likely fucked us out of a final, but a different referee on a...

    Peter Bankes needs investigating

    That offside still irks me, but I’d never want to see the club going down the legal route to try and get an outcome out of this (more competition money or final place etc.,) We’ve seen numerous times with decisions worse than that one that nothing gets done, and eventually just puts the club in...

    Match Thread Coventry City v Manchester United - FA Cup Semi-Final

    I don’t buy this excuse. Haji cupped his ear after scoring the biggest pen of his career in front of the entire Man Utd end trying to put him off. It’s a riposte. Antony, rather than being graceful in a victory he played no meaningful part in, chose to goad not only our fans but his fellow...

    proud, distraught, angry

    Not just any win, it was the greatest FA cup comeback of all time snatched away. Might’ve even been an all time sporting comeback, it was that unlikely and on such a big stage.

    Extraordinary Mark Robins after match interview

    Robins is a much better manager than Erik Ten Hag, and I won’t hear anything different. Robins accepts that things didn’t go our way in added time of extra time in one of our biggest games ever, Ten Hag was still crying last week about an offside from September.

    We NEED to appeal that.

    If that image isn’t edited, and it was drawn over Wan Bissaka’s foot, that’s a horrendous error. It’s basically the margins that make Hajis toe offside. Disgusting. But if they told Liverpool to shut up and move on over the offside that wasn’t, there’s no chance anything gets done about that...

    Skipping through the game, just wondering what Tats would’ve done to this Utd side down that right hand side. They were so fragile when we changed things up. Tavares terrorised them, Tats would’ve tortured this lot.

    Another player I was impressed by was Binks, was a really calming presence at the back, settled the defence at a time when it looked like we might be heading towards a 4 or 5 shellacking, and ended up putting in an important performance. Lati really disappointed me today, don’t know if it was...

    Nottingham Forest Statement is spot on and Coventry should endorse it

    Agreed regarding the pen, although for me it’s clearly a pen, how many times this season have we seen Var not even bother to check them when the ref doesn’t give it, or just go with the on field decision. On another day, the ref bottles that decision, VAR moves on, and we end up losing 3-2 in...

    If Haaland doesn’t play or doesn’t score in the final, Simms will certainly finish joint top scorer in the cup with Szmodics, second most assists too.
