    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Portsmouth Match Thread - Tuesday 11th Feb

    Two difficult games left. This is one of them. The winner should go up in top 2 places. A draw keeps us above them. They have the same games in hand we do. They have a lot of threat in the air. Would settle for a draw for these reasons. But of course want us to win.

    I have used the threat of discipline. That has always worked. When I say something they know I mean it. I always carry out what I say I will. The kids have just about always done as I have requested. The wife frequently doesn't carry out her threats. The kids don't do as she says quite...

    Holiday 2020 thread

    Not having a holiday this year. Spend all my spare time travelling to be with my wife and kids. They treat life like a holiday when not at school. So they are not interested in one.

    Another day, another murder

    There is a lack of trained/qualified people in many trades. A lot stay here during the week and go home at weekends. They get paid a premium to where they live. Too many people hear manufacturing is finished in the UK so look elsewhere. But we make top quality items that sell for a good price...

    But it was your mother who helped make you the person who you are.

    And just to think of all those who were happy with Burge as he was playing at what was seen as his level. We couldn't get anyone better.....could we? Spent a few seasons constantly having a go at our GK. Don't think I have once this season.

    3 years, 2 months and 5 days to go :wideyed: And not counting :shifty: Then I move to France. Will be quicker to get to home games then than it is now living where I am. Should end up being one of the longest travelling season ticket holder :D

    And a right scruffy twat. Never mind. He is only the face of the UK.

    Another day, another murder

    I always wanted to be either a maths teacher or go into the legal trade. But when I was a teen you either had well off parents or you couldn't go to Uni. I ended up going into mechanical engineering as I could work full time at the same time. When I could afford to train to be a teacher I was...

    Can yes. But you are wrong when you say that the parents don't have a main role. They have the main role. Let the kids do what they want and you could get trouble. Keep them under control and you have a much better chance of bringing up a child to be a well balanced adult.

    Another day, another murder

    They have taken rights away from teachers. Some parents are animals. Their children can't do wrong. Had to step in a couple of years ago when a child's parents went mental at a teacher on parents night. He then threatened me. That didn't go down well for him. Parents who are bullies bring kids...

    OK. If it isn't down to the parents to do the best job they can bringing up their kids whose job is it? I have a lad that could have become a problem. But I wouldn't allow it to happen. We moved to a very nice large village where everyone knew everyone. Had a knock on the door. He was...

    Another day, another murder

    Isn't it? So I suppose I have been lucky to have 7 kids and none of them have got into trouble. Making sure they knew right from wrong never made a difference. Teaching them to respect their elders doesn't matter. Because bad parents would have had the same chance of having kids that kept out...

    Through the game? How about since the game? Nothing in retrospect. Looking for someone to blame. Arguing about the last goal being a fluke. Bloody hell. Most would have taken where we are before the season started. Now some like yourself want more. The players are doing well. They took...

    Positives? When did you point them out? Mason? Where did I mention him? All you have done is point out the negatives. Didn't see you as a glass not only half empty but a glass that has never got wet inside person.

    Correct. Criticised our players that played well both games against a side that are a level above us. What if. What if I wasn't born in Coventry? I might have had a football club that didn't fail most seasons. What if I was born a girl? I would be a lesbian.

    So a throw in is as fast and powerful as a free kick? Desperate measures now I see.
