The press and general public do not see them as a Coventry team. Up north, people don't even realise they play in Coventry.

Been a good year for Coventry.
Frequency of that tactic versus feigned injury???Just glad fake blood hasn't reached football.
Probably because the gents of the game wouldn't employ such tactics. Just the odd thug that can't resist the opportunity. Every contact sport attracts them. Even some none contact ones do...triathlon/open water swims, cycling increasingly. Give it a few yrs & snooker players will be whacking each other with cues on tv, & darts players will end up having to wear some sort of safety helmet to protect themselves!Can't disagree with any of that Italia and they're some of the reasons why I've fallen out of love with football over the years. My point still stands though...Rugby, where actions can cause life changing injuries, occur more often than in football and are more dangerous, yet it's called a gentlemans sport.
Yep...it is true - it can be done & makes for a much more enjoyable experience imoI know you were replying to Terry Gibsons perm but this post is so blinkered I felt the need to reply.
I also used the train to get to Wembley. I drove to Beaconsfield and got on the train which was predominantly full of Oxford fans. Nice atmosphere no trouble, no one drunk, no bad language, and jokes between supporters. We got off the train unsheperded right by Wembley, no police, nothing.
On the way back we went through a mass of Oxford fans to the station. No trouble, no bitterness, nothing. On the platform we chatted to lots of their fans with absolutely no problems at all. they were all polite, friendly and gracious in defeat. The same on the train back.
You cant judge anyone by your experiences and I have had more of the pleasant experience like above than ever a bad one. You can get dicks on the train all the time, who are drunk or abusive and predominantly I find its nothing to do with football.
You have to contrast this with things like smashing the bar up at MK Dons a while back...that one springs readily to mind...but that's just Cov...we're on about the whole game. It seems to still attract people with a pretty shit attitude to othersGot the train up from Brighton at 8.30am and there a fair few Cov fans on there drinking can already and caused no issues. On the tube to Wembley the most abusive behaviour was by a group of Irish drunken Irish girls.
The worst behaviour I saw all day was someone pushing in the queue for the toilet.
Like me you weren't there so don't know the tone or how much he knew of her. She might've already been using language & he perhaps said 'I wish you'd fuck-off with that whistle' & a cheeky grin. You're just assuming it was threateningReally? That's why on drunken drivel some bloke from Exeter admitted he told a woman with a whistle who supported wasps to fuck off?
.. and just to prove again Mr Half Truth ...What a shame the players can't "hold their beer better"
Wasps rugby stars order sexual forfeits during end of season party

Wasps: "No further action required" after debauchery claims
So what happened ?It's a minority, not the majority. The behaviour of the Wasps' players during their boat party was just as bad, if not worse.
or god forbid nothing unusual happened ?That just shows the carpet might be a bit lumpy with everything underneath it.
Wasps investigate Wasps and decide Wasps have done nothing wrong. No wonder they get on so well with the council... and just to prove again Mr Half Truth ...
Wasps: "No further action required" after debauchery claims
I agree...it is a minority...& it does happen in other sports. I do think it is much more prevalent in football thoughIt's a minority, not the majority. The behaviour of the Wasps' players during their boat party was just as bad, if not worse.
or god forbid nothing unusual happened ?
Just like the good old days some of mates at my local Hockey Club used to tell me about...a couple of female slippers gang banged & pissed & puked on too.No further action required isn't the same as nothing happened is it...
Having seen a couple of Rugby parties there was not much that was usual about it. Granted, that was just drinking piss, puking into the glass and then drinking that.

So The Sun is the authority on this ?Wasps investigate Wasps and decide Wasps have done nothing wrong. No wonder they get on so well with the council.
When ??
Just like the good old days some of mates at my local Hockey Club used to tell me about...a couple of female slippers gang banged & pissed & puked on too.
Again it happens in all sports.
And that brushing under the carpet happens weekly with the FA & RFU & BOC & LTA...etc

I have no facts other than the Sun report which has never challenged the Wasps investigation.Your authority is from Wasps themselves....

I would take an educated guess that it was an adult evening and a few staff making some money stretching their story.
Couldn't blindly follow a loose story like that but I can see why the Sisu believers might be vulnerable.
Again, you still hold the record for being the biggest "SISU Believer" on here. Nice try at throwing that line in then.
Have a look at links from other news outlets too then.
It was a perfect example of not being completely gentlemanly like you like to make out.
So what are the facts ?
......... careful though
Not saying it never happens, butWhat about the other examples I posted, the rugby fans fighting ones?
It's exactly that, the minority spoiling something for the majority. It just so happens the the minority of football fans in numbers equal the entire amount of Rugby fans (in total) across the country so trouble is fewer and further between!It's a minority, not the majority. The behaviour of the Wasps' players during their boat party was just as bad, if not worse.
But the incidence of dangerous elbows (sometimes with intent) in football can do even more damage than eye gouging.
Most contact sports have their unacceptable destroying tactics & those willing to practice them.
In general I would much rather watch a rugby international for excitement & entertainment than much of the drivel served up in the Premiership & European cups

Hmmm...methinks you're reading the wrong papers!I always piss on my slippers if it's dark
I agree, it does happen in all sports. Thing is, Rooney has a pint when he isn't playing and it's headline news.
Do you need night vision goggles to see? You are so far up Eastwoods arse how else do you see?
Your performance on this thread is desperate.
Go ahead...ask them to wake you up before they go go!I'd rather watch the golf!
