    Worst CCFC XI??

    Aloisi? Disagree. We had a quality goalscorer in John Aloisi and we stuck him on the bloody bench half the time. Plenty of players deserving of a spot though: Kyle Lightbourne, Leigh Jenkinson, Sandy Robertson, Kevin Drinkell, Steve Walsh, Robert Betts, Barry Quinn...... :facepalm:

    Football as a business in unsustainable and unfair the way it is run now

    There are some things in your post that I agree with. A few thoughts, though if they are rambly I apologise, it's rather late here! Football has, for too long now, been fiscally irresponsible. I continue to believe that the game is eventually headed for financial meltdown, partly because of the...

    AFC Coventry

    The last time I paid money to acquire a share in CCFC, it ended up being forcibly acquired from me for a "negligible" fee. Forgive me if I'm slightly reticent about doing it again ;)

    We can still make the playoffs

    Mathematically, yes. However, given today's result leaves us still some seven points outside the playoffs, I think we may be done and dusted.

    Genuinely does anyone think the play offs are still on

    I think we'll fall short. However, it's a heartening feeling to know that we still have our fate partly in our own hands. Keep winning and we give ourselves every chance (yes, we may need some other results to fall our way, but if we keep picking up points it reduces our need to rely on others...

    Well, Well....

    The problem with this is that it all hinges on somebody wanting to buy us. I'm just not convinced that this somebody exists.

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    Someone called Darryl Murphy (a radio reporter or somesuch). Could be full of piss and wind for all I know, I'm not exactly local. :)

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    Now being reported on Twitter that the rent for the Higgs Centre has been paid. Allegedly, the club "lost" the contract and didn't know how much to pay. ..... There are few words to describe the ridiculousness of that notion.

    Robins: Not happy with tactics

    I think that may be the point.

    European Super League

    Call me cynical, but I would see such a league as purely a grab for TV and commercial rights cash, spectators be damned.

    Where are they now

    Was 'lucky' enough to see Sandy play a game for Morwell in Australia's old national league, the NSL, a few years back. At a level that even someone of his general ineptitude should have dominated, he proceeded to be quite junk. Went from the 'best young player in Britain' to 'not even the...

    Who cares? I'm happy to keep paying extra if he keeps scoring!
