Should be Runar Normann... and that's the real reason I'm not going.

Got a feeling he won't be alone, Wembley swan-song for a lot of people I think.

"Never give in Flynn" WBA fans used to refer to him according to a WBA supporting former work colleague. They must have coined it, don't remember us labelling him that, apt tho it certainly was. Never forget that beauty he rifled from outside the 18 yd box at Bramhall lane one Boxing day in the long distant past.

Nothing wrong in this tbf. I would like to think it is the act of a club giving him respect for his longevity at the club prior to his leaving for pastures new.

Apparently when he was at Tranmere if he messed something up he'd drop and do some self punishment press ups.

Might thoughts too, the Ccfc news item talked about it being a fitting tribute.

Whilst I understand some posters have been disappointed by his role as gk coach (perhaps with some reason!), he was the first keeper I remember at the city and we certainly benefited from his playing time.
If he retires, I hope it is a long and happy one.

Not my first choice. I'd have gone for the ghost of Dion Dublin's dog to lead us out.

I cannot understand how some of the posters on here can talk about Oggy that way, after the amazing service he's done for our club. Not just the cup final. He's got to be one of the bravest keepers I've ever seen. My first game was in 68 so I can go back as far as Bill Glazier (another great for our club), but people forget that Oggy has had his hand (literally) in keeping us up more times than most with his sheer bravery, and to read such talk from Coventry City supporters saddens me.

Enough of the dissin' Oggy already!

Someone was slaggin Dave Bennett a few weeks ago too! What's wrong with you people!

John Sillett being turned on as a Sisu stooge a few years back was probably the worst thing I've ever read here, and I'm an avid Glen follower.

Here they come.
Underfunding the club is down to Sisu, we have poor players because we have to pick from what others don't want because of it.
When I see Oggy on the touchline talking tactics with strikers before they go on as Sub, it tells me we are missing staff at all levels.
It's Sisu underfunding throughout because of the break even policy and that's not what most clubs do and is certainly not what us fans require.
It continues with a top third budget in L2 (IF you believe Fisher) which tells me we are targeting 8th place.
Not good enough for most fans unfortunately who continue to walk away.
We need Sisu out and someone in that will put in a top 2 budget.

So where are they then?

Jesus Christ, so somebody blaming a coach for having 2 bad players is blaming him for everything?

Quick, try and think up a tedious link. It's as bad as the bloke I heard blame SISU for Jacob Murphy missing a penalty.

You are talking absolute bollocks for a change.

Or the fact you are just talking shit.

Unless of course next time somebody says a player isn't good enough they are also blaming that player for every issue at the club?

Except our two keepers came through the ranks, and have been coached continually by Oggy (I presume so as he is the keeper coach). Sisu or no Sisu both lack confidence, make poor decisions and have been fairly poor, especially Burge. If that isn't down to the coach and the fact that he hasn't taught them to learn from mistakes then I don't know what is.

So are you saying that if a goalkeeper makes the same mistake over and over again then the goalkeeper coach is totally without blame? As a goalkeeper Oggy gave us great service and is rightfully up there in the top 2 or 3 goalkeeper's we have had of all time but I would question his coaching when we see the same mistakes over and over.

No, I picked up on you saying people were blaming Oggy for "the situation Sisu have put the club in" and asked you where. You then changed it to something completely different.

You will then give it the "pro sisu", "defending sisu" line in reply, which makes absolutely no sense at all.

Where have you done that then?

Is it pro SISU to say our keepers are poor and that is partly down to their coach, or are you going to froth on?

Anyway personally I am glad to see him lead the team out. Nice touch by the club (can I say that or is that praising SISU :banghead

You can't make a silk purse from a pigs ear.
We need a more experience goalkeeper as these kids are at the wrong level and can't be given a skill they don't have.

You can't make a manager from a club scout.
You can't build a club back up if you don't put the money and staff in behind the scenes.
But Sisu try and some seem to try and justify it for them.
