Very well done.

westcountry_skyblue · Aug 27, 2014

Thank the lord,And well done !!!

A bit like the Northern Ireland peace process which were aided by a Catholic priest secretly acting as a go between for Gerry Adams / Sinn Fein / the IRA in proxy negotiations with other nationalists, the British & Irish governments and the unionists.

Not just Reverend, but Very Reverend!

Leamington Pete · Aug 27, 2014

Absolutely brilliant story. A massive thanks must go to John. I always felt mediation was the only answer and could never understand why the FL didn't instigate it.

skyblueinBaku · Aug 27, 2014

He deserves promotion to 'Right Reverend'.

ajsccfc · Aug 27, 2014

It's a bit weird that he refers to it as a 'miracle' though, Jesus won't be happy with that.

I'll be waiting for the feast of the five pies and two hot dogs against Gillingham.

Or the attempt to turn Carlsberg into beer.

But I thought it was all down to "Sir" Steve Waggott

Nope. It was Jesus.

God put his best man Jesus on the case as He was too busy helping all those Emmy and VMA winners if the acceptance speeches are true.

I'd heard he had been involved in some way. Well done that Man. He's certainly not playing down his role in it though!!

I think the timing was spot on. If this had been tried 6 or 12 months ago I don't think it would have worked. Also worth noting Joy is a Christian so he was likely just the right person to soften her up.

my god i'm jealous ,how did he become a very Reverend, when I am only just a Reverend, why is he better than me

straight onto Google for answers

She'd have met him because he is a prominent figure in Coventry.

The Reverend Skyblue · Aug 27, 2014

so to become a Very reverend you have to be a monsignor.

back onto google on how to become a monsignor.

this has upset me.

By the way well done John

As you know, Rev, 'The Lord moves in mysterious ways'.

Not as far as I know, but the mediator he took with him did and in football situations too.

mark82 · Aug 27, 2014

Does it really matter why she met him? She did, and now we are back at the Ricoh.

why are you getting arsey about it? are we not allowed to wonder why?

Who is getting arsey? Think someone is in an argumentative mood today!

yeh and its you, but forget it now, i forgive you.

covcity4life said:

You're forgiven too.

And, yes, she probably did meet him because he is a man of God. She probably listened because they have some things in common. I'm just happy there is someone who could get through to her.

covcity4life · Aug 27, 2014

maybe god will decide its our time to be happy fans too, pray!

ajsccfc · Aug 27, 2014

I'd have said that all this conflict isn't very Christian, but the Bible's basically all action.

Because that took a modicum of intelligence--so the FL got ruled out.

wingy · Aug 27, 2014

Not Impressed ,what's up with the arch Bishop of Canterbury ,Justin ???,wasn't he a cov fan and in town last summer??

Sky Blue Dal · Aug 28, 2014

So it took a man of the cloth to do what the FL were scared off.

At least we now have someone respectable in Coventry that Joy can listen to and approach. This is a good thing.

Thank you and god bless you John Witcombe .
