Yes I heard that too. Linesman did seem to miss that the ball had gone over the line for a throw in to us, but to be that angry that you would scream something as bad as that is a bit disturbing. I know a bloke who has just come back from two years living in Australia. His first game spectating...

Which magazine do you write for?

I was there. City won 2-0 I think.

I would say it is cheating, the same as diving or feigning injury to get a man sent off. To deliberately impede an opponent to prevent a possible break or goalscoring opportunity is surely cheating. Fair enough if an honest but mis-timed tackle is made. Beavon on Saturday was deliberately...

I must be one of the few City glory hunters as it was the Division Two promotion season. I was 9 when after much pleading I managed to get my dad, a lapsed City fan, to finally take me to a game in February 1967. It was a 2-1 win against Carlisle with Machin and I think Gould scoring as we came...

Tottenham were on TV last night and the co commentator( I think it was Jermaine Jenas) was praising the Spurs centre half for the absolutely brilliant foul he committed on a Dortmund player that disrupted their attack. Apparently it was a foul he "had" to commit. He said this two or three times...

I thought it was Beavon's best game of the season on Saturday. He actually had the ball in areas that he could do something with it. So far it has been a case of trying to do something positive with balls that are 2 feet above his head while competing with a 6'-6" centre halfs. A good shot on...

I agree with what you say but we do it too. Grimmer was booked at either Yeovil or Chesterfield (cant remember which) for chopping down an opposing player who was in danger of getting through the defence. Like you I think the foul on Beavon was worse than that by McDonald. (I am not sure this...

If in the opinion of Robin's he is good enough to play next season and would improve the team, we should turn him down because he didn't sign for us? Biting off your nose to spite your face.

I think that some players will always be the bad guy in some supporters eyes. I am not the biggest fan of Lee Burge but I think he has improved greatly since first coming into the team. I thought he played well today, caught, punched and saved when he had to. No mistakes in these areas. His...

Cantwell inherited some good players including products from the youth team like Willie Carr and Dennis Mortimer. However, he did also bring in some good players. Neil Martin was a great centre forward good on the ground and in the air. Ernie Hunt too was great to watch. He was oddly shaped for...

Allison away from Joe Mercer had very little success. He got far more media attention than his record as a manager deserved because they saw him as a "character". Wasn't he also involved in instances of domestic violence? Not the nicest person I think.

Couldn't be worse than Sisu themselves(could he?). Given his track record so far I wouldn't expect too many improvements.

One of the problems with the current owners is their remoteness and secrecy. It is very hard to see how the club can be prised away from them. I cannot for the life of me see why Fisher, knowing what a basket case the club is and also knowing the intense dislike and mistrust that supporters have...

Wouldn't we become tenants in the new stadium just like we are at the Ricoh. I would think a move out of the City to the NEC would really split the fan base even more

Noel Cantwell is probably underrated for what he did. To join a team in desperate relegation trouble and turn them around so that they managed to stay up was an amazing feat really, particularly as it was his first managerial job and that he was following in the footsteps of JH. He also managed...

Lots of studies show that giving someone encouragement when they go about their task results in improved performance and greater productivity. Giving abuse severely affects their performance.

Times have changed for the worse. I remember when first going up the City on a few occasions older blokes remonstrating with younger ones who swore in front of women or children. Do that now and you would be ridiculed and abused yourself. At Yeovil I was stood in front of some young bloke who...

I agree about the booing. Everyone in the away end wanted the team to play well and hopefully win, booing and hurling abuse can only help the opposite to happen. Also agree with the comment above. I don't think last season's relegation was down to lack of effort but due to the fact that some...

He didn't make the decision to move us to Northampton? He isn't the advisor to Joy and co on matters to do with the club? He certainly showed plenty of passion and conviction for the move when he spoke at the forums and went on about 7k crowds if we were doing well. Is Joy feeding him all of...
