    Ah yes, so to be a real man you have to swig back your 10 pints in the pub before coming to the game and showing your football expertise to a around you by bawling at a bloke who knows the laws of the game far better than you. What a man!

    For a guy with a degree you might have tried to edit the post so it was readable.

    How many would we have got last night and Sunday at the ricoh

    They've shown that they can cope and that they can win with some really poor pitches. The three mentioned are probably the worst, many others have hardly been pristine. Even the pitch at St Andrews has started to show signs of wear and tear. I think we have a team this year that will get results...

    How many would we have got last night and Sunday at the ricoh

    Judging by results on ploughed fields and difficult conditions at Tranmere, Southend and Rochdale it probably would still have been a top of the table game.

    Old Accounts Thread

    It's interesting that you use the phrase 'people commenting on the game' to describe people who are usually ranting and raving a our Robins or certain players. But they're not moaning. Just commenting.

    I disagree again on your first point. I’ve been going up the City since the sixties and the abuse that match officials and players get has got progressively worse in my opinion I don’t see how you can make such a distinction between officials at a Sunday League game and a professional match...

    I agree with most of the stuff that you post but not on this. The shear level of anger at someone who is doing their job to the best of their ability (that ability may or may not be limited) and who is necessary for the thing we all love (the game) is way over the top and out of proportion. I’m...

    It hasn’t always been that way. It has definitely got worse over the years. I’m pretty sure that referees and linesmen would hear plenty of the comments aimed at them just as someone like Shipley would hear some of the abuse he used to get. If players hear comments why wouldn’t officials...

    I didn’t hear any threats myself, just responding to what another poster said that he had heard. Because it is football anything goes? As far as you are concerned any type of abuse or insult can be used? Remember this is a bloke that you don’t know, has not offended you personally in anyway but...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Sunderland Match Thread - Sunday 1st Mar

    Mentioned before. A good working class city with a proud industrial heritage, a bit like Coventry. Yes they have some idiot fans but then so have we. I like the people from the north east that I have met, funny and warm hearted has been my experience. I’m sure the majority of Sunderland fans...

    That run and cross when he game on is maybe something that is lacking from McCallum. I thought it was telling that he came on just after Sam had failed to get his cross in from a really good position. It would be good to see what he can do.

    I sit in the block on the half way line, so similar to SBS66 I would think. Now I moan and complain at the referee during a game, I am biased, I am caught up in the game like most people. The referee last night I though was poor. However, there are lines that surely shouldn’t be crossed. My mate...

    Moz Baker was at the game

    When the Trust had open meetings, I never heard anything at all that was pro Wasps. I think like most City fans, they saw the arrival of Wasps as a final nail in the coffin of us ever owning the Ricoh. The present Trust board, of which Moz isn’t a member, have let themselves, the fans they are...

    I thought the ref did miss quite a lot last night but what a thankless task. I thought both sets of players were constantly moaning at him and the crowd on his back too. Not a job I would do. He certainly didn’t help himself by letting the first two Rotherham players taking throw ins on the Kop...

    Moz Baker was at the game

    You said in your previous post he was pro Wasps, I’ve pointed out that that is unlikely, as he was one of the few to actually do something practical and to not just moan about Wasps presence here. I see Moz at quite a few away games, at Trust open meetings I have never heard him say anything...

    Funny because he was one of the 21 who turned up at the Wasps protest. Did you make it?
