    Should we name and shame

    Sorry to be a pedant. It wasn’t me that went to Wasps but a mate!

    Should we name and shame

    You’re glad we are not a family club? That’s an awful lot of potential fans excluded from games.

    Should we name and shame

    There is an edge to football that I like. At the football the result really matters to most of the people that go. (But probably not the idiots who spend most of their time looking at and goading the opposition fans). I attended Wales v Ireland rugby international last year and for most people...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    It would be good if Boddy came out and said as you have said above, that we are planning for the long term. I suppose with the legal action ongoing it is hard to say that and carry it out when we may be homeless next year. However, if they did say this at least everyone would know the plan and...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    This is the same argument you used for getting rid of Mowbray. We are now three managers on from him, still dropping like a stone. If you could guarantee that the next one is the one to change things then I am with you. The fact is you know and I know that the same old things will be being said...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    Your opening sentence here I think adds weight as to why finally we should stick by someone. As soon as things don’t go to Plan the manager is under pressure and inevitably gets the chop. You are obviously hoping that someone new comes in, it all goes great from the start and we are on a...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    Sacked and left before being sacked. How did their replacements fair? Robins left before the Northampton debacle and then Pressley installed and then sacked after being given a four year contract. Venus and then Slade, did they take us forward? Robins produced an upturn in fortune when he took...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    Isn’t the board just Tim Fisher?

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    Does sacking the manager mean we will avoid this fate and start going in the other direction? From the evidence I see over the last ten years at this club it is sack the manager and continue to fall. Time to give someone a chance.

    Should we name and shame

    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?

    Should we name and shame

    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...

    Match Thread Coventry City at Brighton and Hove Albion Match Thread - Saturday 17th Feb

    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...

    Max biamou league stats

    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...

    Half of Colchester Away (TLS)

    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...

    Match Thread Coventry City at Colchester United Match Thread - Tuesday 13th Feb

    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...

    15 games to save his job.

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

    Throwing the season away

    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...

    Throwing the season away

    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”.

    Throwing the season away

    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...
