    Help needed

    Lots of good advice above. In terms of debt, remember that in broad terms they can't have what you haven't got, so don't head off to Wonga. If you get in touch with the people that you can't pay this month, then I don't think there will be an issue, at worst you're going to miss a month which...

    I'm In A Movie

    Also, despite mastering faster-than-light space travel, I need all your gold/oil/water/brains (delete as appropriate) and I appear to have left my critical IT infrastructure open to hacking with an old MacBook. Also my lasers fire in very slow bursts, with a peoww peoww noise, even in a vacuum...

    I'm In A Movie

    Always worth remembering that if you need to knock someone out quietly, a single blow with a blunt object to the back of head always works. Even better, they generally wake up a few seconds after you've gone (or have safely restrained them) with no ill effects. It sort of makes the whole...

    Chaplin Move Completed

    He's certainly not going to score many if he's being pulled back into midfield or over to the wing. To me he looks like the kind of striker who needs to be on the last defender's shoulder and getting on the end of fast low crosses and cutbacks in the box. Lobbing it up to him on the far...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Southend United Match Thread - Saturday 29th Dec

    Which is fair enough, but that's twice on the bounce that we've needed to do it. I've no problem with him as a player, but if he's not yet fit enough for the full ninety then it means that you're always using a sub to cover him. There was a point late in the game yesterday where we had one...

    Taking the kids to the Southend Game... Advice needed!

    Typically enough the kids didn't come in the end! I still went though, enjoyed it too!

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Southend United Match Thread - Saturday 29th Dec

    Have to be happy with that result. We were nothing like as fluid as we were against Charlton, but still worth the win, just, imho. The only thing I don't quite get is swapping the left backs over with twenty or so to go, again. To me that's a waste of a substitution if it's simply like for...

    Tom Bayliss - show me the money.

    That was exactly my opinion on it fwiw, Otis. My thoughts were that he looks horribly low on confidence compared to how he was when he first came on the scene. Aren't these highs and lows to be expected from young players though? He's got some good skills and he doesn't hide even when it's...

    Taking the kids to the Southend Game... Advice needed!

    Done, sorted, tickets bought. Many thanks for all of the advice gents, very much appreciated. :)

    Taking the kids to the Southend Game... Advice needed!

    OK then, I've never taken the kids to a game at the Ricoh before, so apologies for the daft questions. I'm after a bit of help, where's the best place to sit given the youngest (at five) might find it a bit daunting? Also, what's the best way to buy tickets for kids these days - I normally...

    Trust response to Tim Fisher

    Who are the trust claiming to speak for these days? Despite signing up way back when, I can't remember the last time I was contacted by them. As long as they clearly state who they're actually putting out statements on behalf of (i.e. "Four members of the trust board met last night and decided...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Charlton Athletic Match Thread - Wednesday 26th Dec

    First time I've been for a while, but have to say I was impressed today, not just with team, but with the fans too. Maybe it's because we're down to the hard core, but I liked the fact that they didn't get after the players even when we were struggling in patches. I thought we did enough for...

    Merry Christmas SBTers

    I'll add my best wishes here too. Merry Christmas to everyone, especially to those that I may have offended at some point. We're all fans after all, and we all want a successful team to follow. Here's hoping Santa Claus can get us the points on Boxing Day - we could use a big lad up front who...

    Coventry RFC Thread 18/19

    There's always a chance mate. There's a lot of points in this Cov team, but they've got to get on the front foot and cut out the silly errors. Nottingham will be favourites, but don't rule out a Cov win. If you can make it I'm sure you'll have a good time regardless, I hear they'll be...

    Is there anything that instantly cheers you up or makes you smile every time?

    Seeing goals from Big Cyrille popping up on Twitter from time to time always cheers me up. Most recently the winning header in the 4-3 against Spurs, and that cracking shot in the FA Cup QF against Wednesday... Still can't believe he's gone, what a man!

    Wasps on the up? I hope not!

    You're mistaking correlation for causation here. The reason Cov RFC are doing well is that they've invested shrewdly in the team, got a very smart man at the helm in Rowland Winter, and got themselves promoted. So, nothing at all to do with Wasps, who if anything will be having a negative...

    From the Boardroom (Luton)

    Fair enough, but to me it's a pretty fine line between expectance and acceptance. I think far too many people are willing to accept Council chicanery here because of who it's affected (i.e. SISU). If I deliberately and clearly misled a customer in this way, then I'd expect to be disciplined if...

    OK, so You're a Racist

    I can only think we're going beyond racism here, and into the sphere of serious mental illness or impairment. It's some kind of bizarre attention seeking behaviour, imho. Regardless, I'm all for getting them into a place where they can't harm themselves or anyone else, and especially the kid.

    From the Boardroom (Luton)

    It's not naive to expect elected officials and their officers to tell the truth. Indeed that's absolutely the minimum standard that should be accepted for anyone in public office. Again, if this was about anything but beating SISU there would be an awful lot more outrage, imho. The Council...
