I come from a working class background, my dad being a miner. I was taught by him to respect other people. When did throwing a coin at people or being abusive towards them become part of working class culture?

Talking to my son about the idiots in front of us, after the game, he said he saw one of them throw a coin at the Brighton fans after we had scored. Certainly the last fifteen minutes they didn’t see any of the game as they spent their time mouthing obscenities, gesticulating and staring at the...

I enjoyed my day out at the AMEX Stadium yesterday. Just a few thoughts. I thought the stadium was great. You could see that the stadium certainly belonged to B and HA with all of the pictures and Brighton paraphernalia all the way around. This is something we have never really had at the Ricoh...

I don’t agree he is a joke player. I think his all round play is good in the context of the league he plays in. His one fault, and yes it is a big one, is that he doesn’t score goals.As mentioned though, we don’t create enough chances. In the last three games he hasn’t had one chance to score...

No, not WA

I missed the first fifteen minutes of the game due to a particularly ancient satnav not having details of the Western Homes Stadium and so sending me on a tour of scenic Colchester. I decided to park at the stadium when I eventually got there only to find I had left my wallet behind in North...

DKE had a poor game Saturday. He was “rushed back from injury” according to Robins. That is the only bad game I have seen him play and the only time so far his lack of height has been exploited. I think it is really harsh to write him off after one bad game. I’m not saying to play him tomorrow...

We had 4 managers last season. It still didn’t save us.

The fact that this may be happening isn’t the issue for me. We all know how often a promising season has collapsed in ruins. It is the fact that some people think that getting rid of Robins will rectify things. At some stage this club has got to give a manager time to properly turn things...

I don’t think the use of any abusive terms is justified by you or anyone else. I think anyone who uses the word “retard” in a conversation is as bad as someone who uses the word “mong”.

Well, if I am annoying someone who thinks it’s okay to use terms which are disparaging for children with Downs Syndrome then I must be doing something right. Yes, it is a football forum. Does that mean anything goes? Okay to be racist, homophobic, sexist? Okay to throw in the N word because...

It’s a good job that after the last ten manegerial departures we have been saved from mediocrity. Thinking about it, for us to be mediocre would be a step up as for the past ten years we have simply been awful. Sacking managers doesn’t work.

From a paper on Downs Syndrome We know many people with Down’s syndrome face abuse on the street every day including having the word “mong” shouted at them. When Ricky Gervais or others with similar prominence use this word, people hear it and think it’s alright to use this word how they see...

That was the worst performance I have seen from Kelly-Evans. However, he was just back from injury, not properly fit and so harsh to judge him as a footballer in that way. Stokes gives his all every match but I think lacks quality when over lapping.

Is that Chris Houghton, the life time guy who left Birmingham City for a bigger, better job at Norwich (from which he was sacked)? What knowledge have you got of Sisu’s backing for him? If you have inside info on the budget it would be interesting to share. Were you calling for Robin’s to go two...

Anyone who watched the game today and is fair minded would know that Biamou played well today and was deservedly City MoM. He is a good footballer who holds the ball well and brings others into play. He is not Cyrille or Dion and he certainly doesn’t score enough goals, but to label him as...

I was reading an article about Accrington Stanley in this months When Saturday Comes (a good football magazine that is worth a read if you haven’t tried it. As likely to have something about Macclesfield as Man Utd, not all PL froth). Their owner seems a really good bloke. The shirt offer is for...

There isn't an argument. Ticket prices are too high, here and at other clubs too.

This will boost (distort?) the average attendance figure by over a thousand per game.

I’ve got a season ticket and tried for an Exeter ticket in our allocation but missed out. The answer on this occasion was to buy a ticket in the home end. Anyone without a ST could have done the same.
