    'Sky Blues special to me' - McGoldrick

    Having a dig at Cranie, Clingan etc is stupid. King, Best, Juke, Gunnar, Westwood, Keogh and now Goldie, they all listen to their agents who tell them they can get them a better deal so they run down their contract. Nothing to do with "think they are better than us" (which is actually quite...

    Time to do it at home!

    Fantastic run of form under MR. I think we all agree a great job is being done ... Also those that travel away deserve the current success for their loyalty and infinite patience. One thing missing though. At least half of our fans who are season ticket holders or regulars at home matches have...

    Is WAYNE on the WANE - ???

    Some people think he's God. You can hear them all over singing, "A Wayne in a manger." Sorry...

    Anyone else get a pang of sadness every time they think about Highfield Road?

    I feel very angry about it too. First game in 1970. Now the money men have stolen our club and some bastard(s) have trousered piles of cash and left us with a shambles. As well as blaming the board members over the years I also blame the F.A. What is their role if not to safeguard the game...

    JPT Game On Sky

    I shall sit at home and get my final ticket if we get there. Perk of season ticket. Why would I travel 90 miles round trip for a midweek game in January .. No chance.

    FAO : Ricoh Jesus

    You're right. Kids I know think ninjas are real.

    FAO : Ricoh Jesus

    Someone is very ignorant if they think Jesus is a made up character. Ask any historian of ancient times and they will show you vast evidence of a real person. Maybe not son of God, healer miracle maker etc ... But definitely a real person. If you doubt it do the research.

    OGGY's GOAL AT SHEFF WEDS 1996

    1986 Thought I was going mad there as I remember listening to it on the radio outside my sister's house when I was supposed to be inside, at a family party. She moved from that house in the late 80s

    Am I totally on my own

    I have not and will not be going to any cup games this season... But, as a season ticket holder I will go to Wembley if we get there. An earned perk of being a season ticket holder for about 30 out of last 40 years

    Pointless Football Rules

    The powers that be should ponder this, 30 years ago you were allowed to tackle and try to kick the ball whilst in close proximity to an opponent. If you also inadvertently kicked the side of opponent's shoe it was not a foul ... Now you would get booked + a free kick... Ridiculous. Also if...

    the yellow jersey

    "Is that the sort of school where they dont have winners or no sportsday so the fat kids dont get upset?" Quite the reverse. Headteacher is a PE teacher. School a Sports specialism ... proper whole day Sports day ... everyone out on field, no excuses ... full sports awards afternoon, very high...

    the yellow jersey

    I think this is hilarious.:claping hands: How childish must footballers be if they need this kind of macho, infantile banter in order to do their job properly. :facepalm: They get paid enough to motivate themselves. Thank God I work in a more mature environment ... a secondary school. The kids...

    Clingan finds a club

    Just stating I was wrong is not the same as demonstrating it. :facepalm: I accept your qualification of the original point: "No midfielder, who comes in with any reputation, leaves with his reputation enhanced." Gunnar was unknown. Norwood was from Man utd, highly rated, and is now with...

    Clingan finds a club

    Perhaps you should accept that kids don't count as they are unknown when they arrive and unless they are useless the experience they gain will make them more accomplished players. Maybe you could name a midfielder we have had who arrived on a transfer, who was not a teenager and still left...

    Clingan finds a club

    Norwood was not our player Gunnar was a kid with no reputation at all when he arrived. Neither were better players when they left than when they arrived, which is my real point.

    Clingan finds a club

    Good luck Sammy. Always one of my favourites. No evidence that he thought he was better than he is ... Merely prejudice. Midfielders graveyard, the Ricoh. No midfielder leaves with his reputation enhanced.

    Price of Football - BBC survey

    The people who complain prices are too high are often the same people who, every day mind, walk across the road from their workplace, which contains a kettle and a kitchen of sorts, to spend £2.50 on a coffee in a cardboard cup, £2 on a cake and crisps, £2 on a sausage roll or pasty. They then...

    Holding Grudges

    I have always been quite indifferent to Baker... A few cameo performances, nothing more... But yesterday, in the first half, I was literally begging for the ball to go to him as he was the only player in sky blue who could control it and keep it for a few seconds. He was tidy, worked hard and...

    Robins wants midfield general

    St Michael of Doyle was one of the worst footballers to play for an extended period for us. He is a symbol of our decline. A pub player, ten a penny.

    Why Boo your own players?

    You can't reason with the unreasoning. Give it up Steve B50. Of course a supporter does not boo his own players unless the player has engaged in conduct which is unacceptable, such as abusing the fans. We have the, "I pay their wages so I'm entitled..." attitude... Which is always stupidity...
