I do not condone violence in any shape or form except for when it is used by somebody else against someone I don't particularly like! Especially if they've smirked!!! Smirking really gets my goat*!!!

(*I don't have a goat - this is just a phrase commonly used to express that something has angered you!)

Violence is never right, though it now seems this has been downgrading to jostling and throwing beer rather than anything more serious. Either way, unacceptable imho.

Having said that, I wonder what is in Fisher's (and Labovitch's) mind. Do they really think it's simply a few malcontents in the SBT that don't like them, and all of the other fans think they're doing a good job under the circumstances? If so, I think they need to realise they're kidding themselves. They are hated by a very significant section of of support, and to my mind with good reason. They've got a lot of work ahead if they want to pull that back...

Looks like Fisher wanted a reaction when he walked into that pub .. and looks like one or two of our fans took the bait by throwing beer and a stool at him.

I really feel he has set up the fans on this one to get them negative press.

People are wondering why on earth would you walk into a pub full of sky blue fans .. its suicidal .. That was his plan.

Here come the paranoid "tin foil hat" brigade!

He could've, you know, just needed a piss and saw some Cov fans and tried to pander to them (due to knowing he is currently CCFC fan enemy no.1) by saying a positive comment?

Nah, f*ck it, HE DID IT DELIBERATELY TO GET THE FA AND THE GIANT LIZARDS ON HIS SIDE! GREAT PR TIM FISHFACE!

I think Sky Blue Dai is crediting Tim Fisher with a bit more intelligence than he deserves.

Sky Blues fans throw drinks and stools at club director in pub after match against Brentford.
Coventry City chief executive Tim Fisher
About 20 Sky Blues fans were involved in the fracas which saw Coventry City’s chief executive Tim Fisher attacked in a London pub at the weekend, it has emerged.
And one of the witnesses to the incident has said Mr Fisher offered to buy the Coventry fans a drink before the trouble flared.
Mr Fisher was ‘manhandled’ by fans and had stools and drinks thrown at him in a pub close to South Ealing tube station following Coventry's 3-1 defeat to Brentford.

Sources close to Mr Fisher confirmed to the Telegraph that he was set upon in the bar packed with Sky Blues supporters after entering the pub to use the toilet while he waited for a train.
The drinks and stools were hurled at the Sky Blues chief executive as he left the building – although there are conflicting accounts as to whether or not glasses were also hurled at him.

Another source suggested trouble also broke out between fellow Sky Blues fans following the attack.
It is understood some supporters attempted to stop Mr Fisher from leaving while others attempted to intervene.
One supporter who witnessed the incident was Juggy Chima.
He told BBC Coventry and Warwickshire about 20 supporters were involved and that Mr Fisher had offered to buy supporters a drink before the trouble flared up.

He added: “There must have been about 25 or 20 City fans in there, some we see quite often and a few that we had never seen before.
“Everyone is having a drink and then suddenly Tim Fisher walks in and went the toilet. Where the toilets were you had to go right through the pub to get to the toilets.

"At first when he went in sort of a buzz went up ‘that’s Tim Fisher’.”
He added: “Obviously people have had a drink. Where he came out of the toilets there was a bit of singing going on ‘we want Sisu out’ and all that.

“The guy had actually given somebody some money to say get everybody a drink.
"There was a split, some people were singing and some people were fine saying ‘the guy has just come in to use the toilet, just let him get on with it’.

“As he was leaving the chants went up and there were one or two trying to stop him from leaving the pub and then one or two were trying to push them out the way, just saying ‘let the guy go’.
“There was no actual glasses or bottles thrown, but somebody threw some beer on him. And then there was a bit of a surge from two or three people and some stools went flying. He was jostled and he was manhandled, there’s no two ways about that.”

He added: “When he got outside, Steve Waggott was waiting and the two of them made a sharp exit because, obviously, they don’t know how the situation is going to pan out – because everybody started to come out.
“People were saying ‘go’ because there had been a lot of beer drunk. This situation could have ended with someone getting a smack and then that’s really going to take it to another level.

“The general consensus was that this is what happens when fans aren’t given their voice. I’m not condoning it, but people will start taking the law into their own hands.”
The football club and Mr Fisher declined to comment officially on the incident. However, it is believed the unsavoury events have not been reported to police.


It has also been confirmed that Mr Fisher did not suffer any serious injuries as a result of the attack.
If identified, those responsible for the incident are likely to be banned from attending matches by the club.

Relations between Coventry City owner Sisu and supporters have become increasingly strained this season after Coventry City moved to play ‘home’ matches 35 miles away at Northampton’s Sixfields stadium.
News of the aggressive behaviour has caused a storm on social media websites including Facebook and Twitter, with many Sky Blues supporters condemning the actions of those responsible.

Worked all weekend so catching up on all the action, do not agree with anything physical but this sounded like hand bags and happens every weekend in pubs up and down the Country.
Why on earth did he go into a pub full of upset drinking fans?

Going into a pub full of CCFC fans was just another in a long line of bad decisions by TF. Or pehaps he is barmy and arrogant enough to believe that the SBA think that he's doing a good job.

The Diplomat by the Burges. Cracking pub that only serves cans and is the arsehole of town.



We used to go there on 'shit pub' evenings.
