Virtue signalling in this case being what? “I think racism is bad”?

Personally I am pro-harsh punishments for racist abuse coming from the stands

It’s a ridiculous scenario that would almost certainly never happen. And regardless, the fact that fans aren’t willing to even countenance the idea of tougher measures on racist abuse if it meant the result of one game was unfairly impacted says it all about why progress is so slow. I think we...

I think “anything is justified” is a pretty bad faith interpretation of what I’m saying. If your view is that the current system is working fine, and any future attempts to improve it need to be tempered by extreme and far-fetched hypotheticals then don’t be too surprised if things stay bad...

I understand the potential (in theory) to weaponise this kind of thing but tbh I have more sympathy with Kasey Palmer and his exasperation that nothing seems to ever change. Clearly the punishments for this stuff in football are totally inadequate and it’s long overdue they be tightened up...

The fear of arrest and/or public infamy? It’s an incredibly far-fetched scenario.

Bad news guys - DeSantis’ about to suspend his campaign before the very first state primary :( Where did it go so wrong for Big Ron?

Probably a bit harder to get custom Coventry flags made in the current climate tbh

Because he’s a CM with Premier League quality who’s better than Josh Eccles.

You wouldn’t have caught Tim Fisher on a train or talking to fans after the game, no sir, not on your life

Over two legs I would back Robins to get us past any team in the playoffs. Our game management against Middlesbrough last season - who I rated as a better side than us overall - was exemplary and our results against the top sides this year tell me that we could do it again.

When you’re playing this well and scoring so many goals it’s hard to say you’re missing anyone. Both Hamer and Gyokeres would obviously improve the side (duh), but that’s asking a slightly different question.

I’m just so delighted to read a sentence like this and not immediately burst out laughing

AND A HERO COMES ALONG

You can, it’s just expensive.

I won’t argue with your weeks of football experience

No way are we in the position we are today if we have McNally and Rose at CB instead of Thomas and Kitching.

I have zero doubt that if something similar happened in the Coventry end after an opposition player had been winding us up then loads of our fans (including on here) would be making exactly the same lame excuses

I imagine being routinely summoned to give a thumbs up or thumbs down on this stuff gets a bit tiring, but I suppose it’s not for me to say. Personally I think it’s quite a bit different to xG!
