we took the piss when leicester went down (well some of you did the smarter ones didnt as this was always on the cards) and Sunderland are obsessed with us so are on here in droves

I'm hurting like everyone else but karmas a bitch, let 'em get on with it and lets not start banning people all over the shop

SISU OUT

I didn't give Leshtur any stick when they went down. It was so very nearly us.

In fairness, the actions of Jimmy Hill in 1977 do not reflect the opinions of all Cov fans.

The league table would tend to disagree with you there.

I love this notion that other clubs are proud and wouldn't have done exactly the same. Laf.

I agree with you there, but not many are prepared to admit the shameful truth though are they? It's all 'well they would have done the same' or 'Well they should have beaten Everton'. Every team in the league played 42 games that season. Coventry and Bristol City only played 41.

I can't condone any such views of my fellow Cov fans on this issue.I have to confess that the big chinned one dropped an almight bollock and sullied our proud club on that occasion.

Yes yes, but what did the league table say?

And how did you get on in the other 41 games? I'm assuming that because it was entirely Jimmy Hill's fault you went down, you won the other games, yes?

The younger generation of Sunderland fans have no issue with this club-why? Because the incident in question is 35 years in the past and people have either forgotten it or moved forward; do you hate Westwood for his previous affinity with the club too?

To be fair, I am finding it quite hard to lower my game to League One standards. The adjustment from Premier quality trolling is quite large.

Were you there?

I was. Last time Sunderland fans came on here it was like a urban myth and the Chinese Whispers have got completely out of hand over the years.

The game was delayed because of crowd congestion and under police instruction. I was there and that is what happened. It was reported in the local papers too. A lot of fans had been delayed. Can't quite remember if there had been an accident or what, but it had definitely been delayed because of this.

There was no conspiracy there, no match fixing going on. To say that the game was fixed is just a pure lie. If the game was fixed how come we went 2-0 up and looked well on our way to winning the game?

Where we were at fault was when the Sunderland score was displayed on the scoreboard. At that point the game ended as a contest and was played out to a very tame knockabout draw and believe me, I was on the terraces there screaming at the City team to go and get the winner when it was at 2-2 and I was not at all happy with what went on.

As someone else said though, I bet 99% of all teams would have done exactly the same thing in similar circumstances. Anyone who says otherwise is just a pure liar.

No-one set out to cheat that is perfectly clear. What happened was that a spur of a moment decision was made with about 15 mins to go and both clubs entered into an agreement that of course should never have been made.

As I say, I was screaming at our team to carry on playing and win the game.

Bottom line is though, it was THIRTY FIVE FOOKIN YEARS AGO. Just how sad has anyone got to be to still be bitter about this after all those years and also to have a go at supporters when it was absolutely nothing to do with them and they had no influence on what took place.

Make up all the urban myths you like, but some of us actually went to the game and know what happened.

its a fair point really, why they're mocking people that weren't even born when it happened is beyond me.

I just had a look at their board and there are people all over the shop saying they'll be celebrating when Jimmy Hill dies, so thats the sort of person we're dealing with here.

Yep, they said the same thing last time they were on that they would celebrate his death and hope he would die.


I said last time they came on that I used to work for British Coal and happened to work with a number of Sunderland fans around the time I was fresh out of school but not one Sunderland fan at the time said anything at all about the match and not one of them complained or moaned or said anything about anyone cheating.

All I can remember them talking about was that they shouldn't have lost their match! Which is the whole crux of the thing anyway.

Exactly that's not banter that's sick. What's the betting next time they have a grief junkie day at their club when some widely unknown person connected to their club dies they ll expect the away fans to respect their silence, pricks

Although to be fair most of them "open a can" usually of white lightening the moment they wake up. Unless its giro day of course, then it's right after they get back from the post office

And quite right, considering the heinous crime he committed against the Scottish people.

Happy to take stick from Leicester fans all day. Sunderland fans need to wake up and realise the only team that screwed them 35 years ago was their own for not doing enough to stay up. No conspiracy, no cheating, just not good enough like ourselves this year.
