The whistles were actively part of the protest against Sheff Utd weren't they?

IF it was the whistle that led to the equaliser, and it's a big IF, did everyone in
Block 16 blow it at the same time, some real sweeping statements here.
Why would you want the protest to be shit, are you happy with the way things
Are.

I didn't say they all did, but all of the "groups" need to come out and condemn it and ask people to drop the whistles.

The sit in with 50 people won't do shit.

For clarification for someone that wasn't there. The whistles did cause the Bolton equaliser?

But you are condemning those doing the sit in.
The whistle person might not even be there for all you know.

That's the problem, isn't it? There's not one united front. The sit in is a good idea, but as you said earlier it only takes one a-hole to ruin it.
I am left now with the feeling that the protests have costs us 4 points and I am probably not the only one. 4 points we may need badly when the season ends.

The protest need a united strong leadership.
The factions need to agree to one goal, agree to what is acceptable behavior and agree to what we expect from new owners once sisu leaves.

I didn't think they did. Thought Lamerias and Sterry lost communication.

The whistle was being blown all second half and made no difference.

People know who blew that whistle. If I was anywhere near it I'd have given the c**t a slap. But absolutely nothing because it's hilarious. Our fans are a fucking waste of time.

The mentality that it doesn't matter what the protesting is needs to stop. Look at comments on this thread alone. More thought is needed.

You wouldn't think it though would you?

IT was clear as day, our players stopped. It made a difference then, they scored from it.

That's the 2nd game the "protests" have had an issue on the end result now. Hope people are happy about it all though, get some exposure and some back pats.

@skybluezam87 Nobody ever said they'd be a protest during the game


Please RT: Lawful sit-in protest in Block 16 at full time today. Keep #SisuOut chanting going. Obey any police instructions please #pusb c

Not today's protest, it was part of the last one that people continued. You cant say everybody blow your whistle in a game and then deny all knowledge the next when it carries on.

Again, you clearly don't understand my question.

What has the whistles got to do with the sit in?
Why are the people doing to sit in, and didn't blow whistles, bell ends?

I don't know? I wasn't here at the time.

It's just that you're calling all people at the sit in bell ends, when chances are only a few of them have blew whistles?

Apologies if it read like all of them.

They clearly all weren't blowing whistles but they need condemning.

I'd just seen them score because of whistles they did in the last game, not going to be happy about it

As I said in a previous post.

One set of fans care about the future the other set care about what is going on with the football side of things.

Neither are in the wrong.

But the protest against SU was organised because we were on sky, it did work
I watched it in the pub 180 miles from Coventry and people in the pub thought
The tv was playing up, Cus of the constant whistling.
Sporadic whistling during the game is different, did people buy the whistles for
The SU game ? If so some are still taking them to the game and are acting on
There own, and not as part of any organised protest.

Of course you're not. And I agree.

It's just it seemed to group the people at the sit in with those who blew whistles

It was sporadic and only when Bolton were attacking, the whistlers weren't being blown in protest.

they probably got the idea after the Sheffield united match but today was individuals being idiots. If it was part of a continued protest I could forget it to an extent, but it wasn't.

Must have just been a HUGE coincidence then... As i said I heard a few people stating the same thing. Lameiras stopped when a whistle blast came from the crowd. We're in Block 17 and heard it clearly.

As a fan base, we are so divided and its gutting. Some walk away to not return, some are holding on until they cant be bothered any more or when they have to decide to renew their season tickets or not, some will be here no matter what, and we have the guy running the leading sky blues forum protesting at the protests.
