    Congratulations, hope you’re all doing well. It gets easier, I’ve been told the first twenty years are the hardest. :)

    Match Thread Coventry City vs QPR

    Well, without going into any huge analysis, I’ve got to say that I enjoyed that. Apart from most of the first half where we looked completely overawed, that is. Robins continues to impress me, we were a different side in the second half which must have something to do with the halftime team...

    Death List 2020

    Diana Rigg, definitely the reason why I used to watch The Avengers! I don’t think I ever understood a single episode, but it always looked like good fun. Then there was The New Avengers, Purdey, and Steed’s Jaguar 5.3C. I never entirely got that show either, but I really wanted that car!

    Question mark over rugby

    I think a few people might take issue with that mate! It’s s different game for sure, with a different skill set, but personally RL leaves me cold. Some people hate both codes of course, it’s just a matter of personal taste.

    Birmingham incident

    Diminished responsibility is a risky defence. You might well exchange a long but defined jail term for an indeterminate (that is, potentially endless) spell at somewhere like Broadmoor. The people that rage about mentally insecure people being released and going on to commit further crimes are...

    Birmingham incident

    Anyone here who jumped on the ‘left wing media cover-up Somali refugee hate crime’ bandwagon, now has the chance to take a cold hard look at themselves, what they believe, and where they’re getting the information that drives these beliefs. I’m serious. There’s no need to say anything on here...

    Birmingham incident

    Precisely this. Pointing at Blair whilst disregarding Boris is ludicrous. This is the first Government in living memory that has attempted to avoid parliamentary scrutiny, broken parliamentary convention, and simultaneously proposed doing away with judicial review. That might sound trivial...

    Birmingham incident

    What utter fucking bollocks. I love my country as much as anyone, but I want it to be safer and better for everyone - black, white, gay, straight, rich, poor. I’m just not stupid enough to vote for some fat, corrupt, racist c**t, who’s only there to look after his mates. That doesn’t make my...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Bigger crowd than usual too, at least twice the number of paying punters than normally attend. :)

    Wasps downward spiral...

    In fairness Rowley’s Green is a lot like Monaco. If Wasps could persuade the Council to widen the canal to take super yachts then it’d be right up there...

    Council funding for Ricoh Refurb

    What I really want to see here, is the business case. What money will come into Coventry as a result of giving Wasps this grant? Conversely, were any other Coventry businesses invited to apply for this grant and/or could it have instead been used to improve transport, cycling or other cultural...

    Council funding for Ricoh Refurb

    That in part, but also to protect their friends at the Council, who as we have seen are in a position to grant extravagant favours from the public purse, smooth awkward planning issues, and continue to push CCFC into a corner. It’s almost beyond a joke now, this is the era of ‘get elected and...

    There will have to be a re-think

    Name a city in England where that isn't the case?

    There will have to be a re-think

    As at the start of the epidemic, I think the most dangerous thing here is a casual attitude. If we'd have locked down earlier, there's a pretty solid body of evidence that a large number of lives could have been saved. Similarly, it's not unreasonable to consider that if we unwind lock-down...

    New deal for shipperz

    I’m glad too. Gets stuck in and seems to pop up all over the pitch. Happy knack of scoring key goals too, which I think is a reflection of his work rate as much as his finishing. Would be great to see him push on even more next season...

    Travellers

    Yep, I saw him and his mate flying away late afternoon/evening. I’m sure it’s not as much fun as it looks, but if anyone fancies paying for my training and buying me a helicopter I’ll be happy to provide lifts to every away game next season. :)

    So now we know

    I don’t understand the dancing around here, there’s an indemnity clause NW, it’s black and white. Wasps wanted people to think there wasn’t, we now know there is.

    So now we know

    I’d have to disagree, it’s out now that there is an indemnity... Wasps categorically stated that there wasn’t in their ‘clarification’ statement which read thus: “However, Wasps did not insist on an indemnity clause as has been claimed – this claim is simply false. In addition, nothing in the...

    Tommy Robinson

    SBT - you win. Nothing that I can say is going to explain it more clearly than that. Time I knocked off for the night and watched the cricket. (Yes, I pass the Tebbit test, btw, in case anyone is worried about that). :)

    Request to waive NDA - email to Wasps, CCFC & Sisu

    This is pretty close to how I see it, but to me that reads very much as an 'indemnity' requested by Wasps to prevent SISU taking further action against the Council in the event that the EU complaint is found to be valid. That action could be along the lines of a judicial review (yippee!) to...
