And a bloke in a pink shirt. Never mind the chants - he was lucky that Greggs didn't set the owl on him.

I think that's right actually - Hiwula is a confidence player and we certainly do carry him at times. On the other hand he scores key goals and his pace is a real asset. I think it will be interesting if we play a midfield 3 of O'Hare - Kelly - Allen.....would this additional creativity mean...

I agree with most of this Grendel - although it's very tempting to just quote one of your favourite lines and say 'Telfer was shite.' Only joking! On saying that we certainly should have accepted £4MM from Blackburn for Telfer or whatever silly money they were offering. I agree he had a good...

I think that's a fair point Evo. I haven't seen the stats but Shipley is very effective in a midfield 3 both driving forward and scoring. I would say that Bayliss is a better technical player and has the ability to run with the ball and literally glide by players (at his best Bayliss reminds...

Not my favourite area of London in any way - but remember finding a nice boozer ahead of the relegation escape game. Then true to form running very hard out of Tottenham as it all kicked off afterwards.

Ha! Another advantage of being on the lower terrace behind the goal at the old Derby ground. Switching codes - the last time Cov Rugby played a competitive game at Moseley one of our fans actually fell through the flooring in the stand - Cov fans must be cursed.

Laughing at your post Otis and agreed. But I found Neville's recollection pretty funny and it's actually amazing that pros don't react more often to the abuse from some of those in the stands. I know a couple of players and the abuse is horrendous. Same applies to fans abusing the officials...

I agree with this shmeee. I have a suspicion that Zain Westbrooke could fill the role of defensive midfielder later in his career but not sure he's quite there as yet. Eccles by most accounts also looks highly promising in the defensive midfielder holding position and plays there for the U23s.

I always enjoyed: Derby County - you could sense the tradition and it was a fine football stadium. Great view behind the goals on the lower terrace. Discuss.

I agree with a lot of what you have written ccfc1234. I would also say there has been a very well documented rise in racism since the Brexit vote but that's for another channel.

Interesting angle. Let's somehow blame Garth Crooks and Lenny Henry for the behaviour of online racists.

No need to re-open this one. But the reaction to a young lad making stupid drunk comments on holiday surrounded by his mates seems way over the top to me. We've all made mistakes - well I have and I'm very happy that social media wasn't around at the time to record my various lapses of...

I'm on your side on this Faz. Everyone should feel welcome at our games. But in terms of all the problems we have - the non-attendance of the possible legions of Cov LGBT fans just waiting to show up at our games is probably a fairly long way down the list.

"And finally, my own philosophy for life: just be nice to other people. Being nice may include piss-taking if you feel they are getting it as a joke and are giving it back. But it certainly doesn't include making someone else feel bad. That's horrible. " Excellent post trench. Except of...

I really don't think any of the lads chanting this intended to cause any offence - but I can see both arguments. It's still the case that what goes on in football grounds would not be tolerated in normal situations. Screaming foul mouthed and personal abuse at players and officials - I don't...

Agreed. I like both Shipley and Westbrooke - but it may be that Westbrooke is best suited to Kelly's role if he's out with a knock? I also like Shipley's driving energy a lot and he's a threat running into the box for sure. On saying that can't wait to see a midfield 3 of O'Hare - Kelly -...

That twat Grendel is obviously in a bad mood as we've won again. He hates that as it gives him less chance to moan and complain. So he's looking for a fight. That's right - we have a poster who hates to see us do well. He actually posted a couple of constructive and positive posts last week...

I see what you are saying Paxman - second half was disappointing. But it's been a brilliant start to the season. Unbeaten and the atmosphere at Brum is far exceeding my expectations. And on top of that we had key players missing today. Today's team was missing Dabo, McFaz, Allen, and Kast...

Normally against the singling out of individuals and bullying by crowds. But make a complete exception for that twat Steve Evans. He deserves everything he gets.

I actually think that's the first apology/admission of a mistake that I've ever read on this forum by anyone. Good stuff. Minor differences of opinion usually end with threats of serious violence or even worse degrading of birds of prey. This could be a whole new era!
