    Robbie retiring.

    His impact can’t just be measured in the goals he scored. It was also the quality of the goals he scored and the fact he was so clearly such a good, clever player in everything he did and the way he linked with others. He is one of the best players that has played for us in the time I have been...

    Appeal Dismissed

    I’m not going to get bogged down in another debate about Sisu. We all know what they have done and continue to do to our club. The very first statement above however ignores the fact that the Council sold to Wasps after Sisu had tried to distress ACL by taking the club to Northampton. To not...

    Ex Player Watch

    One of the most frustrating things about modern day football is players going over as soon as they are simply touched. It drives me mad! With regard to penalties and the pundits argument that “he was touched so is justified in going down”, that also drives me up the wall. If you are tripped...

    Can’t we like them both?

    Great cross. JCH or Chaplin inthe right place it would have been a certain goal.

    Appeal Dismissed

    No they’re not the only enemy. The only reason they are here is because of Sisu and their shenanigans. They both need to go.

    Evans

    You make it sound as if abusing officials is an admirable thing to do. Referees get things wrong, but in almost all cases they are honest mistakes, the same as players and managers themselves. Football is a passionate game and I moan and groan at decisions the same as every one else. There are...

    Appeal Dismissed

    Their plan A, as they assured the FL, showed them proof of funds, was to build a new stadium. Perhaps the FL have become aware that progress on this is rather slow. Maybe Fisher and friends should have told the truth. As with a lot of things, Sisu's actions coming back to haunt CCFC.

    Appeal Dismissed

    Probably not. You also wouldn't want it to turn into a session of abuse for Wasps or their fans as that would be counter productive.

    Appeal Dismissed

    I agree. You wouldn’t want it to be anti Wasps. It would need to be totally pro Sky Blue to make the point we need to stay at the Ricoh.

    Appeal Dismissed

    One suggestion at a Trust meeting was for as many City fans as possible to get into a Wasps game and to spend the game making our presence felt (verbally and non aggressively). Apparently quite quiet at Wasps games so a bunch of noisy football fans would stand out. It wouldn't be earth...

    Evans

    There isn’t really a comparison between Ferguson and Evans in terms of the way they conduct themselves. We were sat opposite the dug outs last night. We don’t usually notice the managers, home or away unless we purposely look across that way. With Evans, you couldn’t miss him because of his...

    Yes, I noticed that to. Good, positive reaction which proved to be spot on.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Peterborough United Match Thread - Friday 23rd Nov

    I thought we played really well in both halves. Agree that Hiwula didn’t do much but I felt all of the others mentioned had lively games. Some of the football we played last night was excellent. Another game in the long list of games this season that goes in the should have won category.

    Home defeat to Everton in the relegation season I think. He had a terrible game.

    Memorable Sky Blue debuts...

    Another good debut was Chris Cattlin’s. He was signed, along with Ernie Hunt, a few days before we played Man Utd at home for the first time in the First division. The main Stand had just burnt down, there was a crowd of 48k in the stadium and Chris marked George Best,who a few months later...

    Neil Martin. Scored a hat trick I think.Was it against Sheffield Wednesday? It would have been in 1968 anyway.

    League of shame (fan arrests 17/18)

    I was in the stand at the side yesterday. There was a lot of complaints about those standing stopping children further up the stand seeing. I have to say that I don’t understand why anyone would stand at a game like that when standing on the terrace was an option. If you know that fellow...

    Bakayoko

    Both were subs who came on and scored. So effective subs are only those who make sure the team draw or win? I think the criteria should be did a substitution positively affect the team. Biamou and Ponticelli both made a positive impact. How does the impact of Robin’s substitutions compare with...

    What last season meant to Coventry fans

    Been supporting this club for nearly 52 years but the Notts game stands out as a special, special night particularly as I was there with two of my boys who, in their City supporting lives, have seen mainly abject failure. Finally showed we could achieve.
