Should Robins get a Song from the SBA at Stoke? (14 Viewers)

[Shannerz]

Should always be received warmly for the enormous contribution that he's made to our club and its current position, but doesn't need his name signing every time we face him.

A warm round of applause and leave it at that.
We should show him the respect he deserves, but no need to blow smoke up his arse.

 

[clint van damme]

Should he? No.
But is he more deserving of one than Hamer or Sheaf, a million fucking times more

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

I’m not there but I would 100% join in with a positive chant.

If I saw him in the supermarket, I’d go and acknowledge what he did for us, why’s it any different in a stadium. It’s not like he’s playing where it can help on the pitch etc.

Tbf I still accidentally sing “robins is our king” in the EIEIEIO unless I’m really concentrating

I do it on purpose!

Yea, he deserves some recognition.

Not a song, but a clap at an appropriate time.

I will forever have an affinity with Robins. Those of us who did the “journey” from that horrendous L1 relegation season, to numerous Wembley trips and a penalty away from the a prem, I don’t think will ever forget how he progressed the club, on and off the pitch.

Obviously the club will always be the priority, but he changed our club from lowest ebb.

He deserves an acknowledgement, but it shouldn’t the main event.

Cant wait for those singing Ohares song tonight and clapping him after he scores.
move on yes give a clap after the game but during the game its us against Robins

There were a few renditions of an O'Hare song tonight.....mostly involving calling him an expletive or comparing him to Rudoni.


Wish there was a rendition of 'It could have been you'

 

[Dougin]

Without a doubt he should. We wouldnt be here now if it wasn’t for him end of. Lets salute our heroes and never forget them.

No, we've moved on now

I’ve quoted this as it’s the first post. This is the small club mentality that keeps us a second tier fan base.

When Lampard himself played against Chelsea for Man City, the Chelsea fans sang his name and applauded him, as a true club legend. Relatively (as we have not been at the elite level like Chelsea) Mark Robins is just as huge to our history as Lampard to Chelsea. We wouldn’t even be knocking on the door of the Premier League without Robins, so he deserves all the respect he gets.

Robins could have left seasons before, we let Robins go, he didn’t walk away.

Robins is and always will be a legend. From someone that was there when we had a 9K average attendance in League 2.

If our fans do sing the MR song, then it’s a classy touch and I will be very behind it. That doesn’t stop the team or fans from wanting the 3 points on Saturday.

P.S. you mention moving on and have 1987 in your name. For those under 30 at the time, we were all sick to the back teeth of hearing about 1987 and the ‘glory days’ of circling the toilet of the PL and wanted our own good memories to celebrate. My god did Robins and his teams deliver.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Only post-game unless he acknowledges us before. W, L or D be deserves recognition

I was born in 1987

 

[Travs]

It has gone unmentioned on here, but he also fist pumped the crowd and overcelebrated their second goal in a pretty provocative way.

There's other ex-players that get booed by our fans for doing nothing at all. I don't get it.

Who gives a toss if someone celebrates a goal for their new team.

Fully disagree with the first paragraph.


However, this 'Mark Robins is just as huge to our history as Lampard to Chelsea' would be an excellent topic for the pub!

 

[Alex1987]

I love Mark Robins, I'd want a statute of him, just don't think we should be cheering him every match.

Well sadly we are with some of the small minded opinions on here and social media.

You probably think Coventry City has the best support in the land, that never stop singing because Lorna Bailey says so. The last few seasons, our home atmospheres have been brilliant but the atmosphere has been shit most games this season and our fans go silent unless we are confidently winning.

It was poor at Wrexham until we took the lead and then only half hearted PUSBs that died a few lines in.

In terms of relative, yes. Chelsea were an average and mid table club chasing Europe occasionally when Lampard joined with oil money and have now gone onto the elite level.

We would be league 2/non-league fodder with 7K average attendances if it wasn’t for Robins.

Both were brilliant catalysts to Chelsea and Coventry’s successes in relative terms. Lampard had Terry, Drogba, world class managers and Abramovic’s billions. Robins had Vivash, Biamou, a rental with Brum and Richard Overson paying for overnight stays in Travelodges.

Robins is a legend to our club.

 

[ptr]

Only if he takes a corner

 

[Jay88]

Absolutely not, this is a top of the table clash. Our focus should be on our own manager and players.

 

[ajsccfc]

He should get a clap and a lovely wave after the game but anything during is nonsense behaviour.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Massive denial here.

 

[Adge]

He will get his proper reception/thanks long after he has left Stoke, on a Legends Day in about 5-10yrs time more than likely

Until then, no more than a light applause

And everyone in the stadium should stand and give him an ovation

 

[Adge]

Well we will be singing his name on Saturday for sure (disguised as Stoke fans in the home end)

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

I think we got it spot on at the game at our place last year.

Quick appreciative song before the game, followed by a chorus of “Super Frank”.

And then beat them with an injury-time winner.
