    Match Thread Coventry City v Manchester United - FA Cup Semi-Final

    Another Cov top related story; Wearing my Cov top round the pool and a Liverpool fan clocked it. He mentioned this game and said we were robbed. Never offside etc. I know we all know that, but a) I think it’s universally recognised we were and b) made me realise I’m still disappointed we...

    Tommy Widdrington

    Wearing my Cov top at breakfast this morning and got speaking to a Grimsby fan. Said he was personal mates with Tommy Widdrington - they go on holiday together etc etc. He said when he went to Bristol they took our ‘star striker’ as he fell out with our Manager. Couldn’t recall who he was...

    Viktor Moving on

    What are peoples interpretation of this? We all knew he had an attitude in the sense of wanting to be the best and constantly pushing himself, and by default others. But never an attitude in terms of being difficult to work with?

    Match Thread Coventry City - Derby County Match Thread - Wednesday 6th Nov

    Still away for this. Fortunately (maybe) I’ve met a Derby fan so it’ll add some atmosphere to the game, even if we will be crowded round the iPad! Game is 10:45PM where we are, which is actually perfect as kids (and probably partner) will be asleep so no distractions! Pretty gutted to be...

    The holiday 2023 thread

    Fortunate enough to have done both plenty of times. Thailand is great and more of an “adventure” as parts are still quite different from home, whereas LA/SD are obviously different from home but it’s still a Westernised place. I guess a simple example is transport; LA/SD is your traditional...

    Match Thread Middlesbrough - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 2nd Nov

    Still away so watching on iFollow - positive start. Wearing my Cov top and a pissed cockney said ‘is that Brentford?’ - huh?! So I said no Coventry. Who do you support? He said Man U. Says it all. Knew he was a twat.

    Yep. They’re proper pop ups too; mid thread, bottom corner of the screen, audio starts playing etc.

    I’m getting this constantly now. I’m using Chrome on my phone.

    Referee

    We have had some shocking refs this year. But they are not helped by the assistants. Don’t think I’ve seen one linesman (they’ve all been male from memory) make an actual decision all season. Everything relies on the referee. And when they’re rubbish, what chance do we have!

    Lati appreciation thread

    Time to re-surface this? Set your expectations for what he is, an old school solid defender and a leader. Underrated.

    Dont want to be that guy

    Genuinely think play off push will be back on now. Yesterdays win was such a confidence booster, and mentally it’ll be massive for the players, especially the way we did it. Take here as a sample, suddenly it’s positive and players are good again, MR is great and we’ve found a winning formula...

    Ball carrying centre halves

    Binks is a good player. I know he gets mixed reviews on here, and defensively he needs to improve positionally. But on the ball, he can be very progressive and has great distribution. Also can’t fault his commitment, he isn’t afraid to mix it or put in a big tackle. He’ll improve with time and...

    WRIGHT and SIMMS through the middle

    On paper it’s a really really strong strike force. A few of us have been saying, we have to play quick ball and use the pace of our strikers. Yesterday we saw that at times and it worked. I know Simms journey on here is a rollercoaster; boo boy -> liked -> worried he’d be poached -> boo boy...

    Think I’ve I got a delay but I just got all the looks from the many parents around the kids pool, including a death stare from my partner, as I jumped up and shouted (possibly screamed) when that went in. Thank God for a dodgy Turkish stream! Wearing the Cov top around the pool with extra...

    Also, no Rudoni or Torp, guess who is going to be on corners……

    Match Thread Coventry City - Luton Town Match Thread - Saturday 26th Oct

    Hate to be Sheaf/Eccles in that line up. Lack of options when they get the ball is going to be scary. Trying to make sense of it, he’s obviously worried about their physicality and tried to count it by bringing another CB in. Albeit he’s then dropped Rudoni, who is a presence physically too...

    Yea I checked iFollow this morning, only a bloody audio pass available! Ah well, I’ll find a dodgy stream hopefully. Theres quite a few on here based abroad who seem to watch most games, so fingers crossed someone has an idea!

    I’m in Turkey but obviously keen to watch the game. Any ideas what station / how? Not had to use my usual go to dodgy stream yet this season and typically it isn’t working today….
