Oh I saw it. But it's up there with the Kenny Jackett shout from a certain someone else.

Not really, most people with common sense can see he is awful front of goal.

Who gives a shit anyway? You're literally on a thread called 'unpopular opinions'. Not that you are posting any of your own, which is quite telling.

Walking to the Ricoh/CBS arena, from any direction, actually takes much longer than it looks like it should.

I've got stacks here.

1. Shouting "Get the ball forward" as we look to recycle possession should result in you being escorted out of the stadium and/or shot.

2. If our players could do everything that was expected of them by our fans, they wouldn't be playing for us. I.e. O'hare can't finish, if he could we would never have got him or he would've been sold, if Vik made better decisions he would've gone already.
So stop expecting them to be perfect and berating them for their weak points.

3. Booing a player is such childish pantomime behaviour, it achieves nothing and should result in you being escorted out of the stadium and/or shot.

4. I don't actually mind Aston Villa, but Leicester. Leicester can fuck off.

5. Cyrus Christie deserves more praise from our fan base when we discuss academy players.

6. We shouldn't slate our recruitment team for low cost, high upside players that flop in the way that some do.

7. Our kits for a long time (from 2003) we're god awful, until Hummel took back over. The relationship with them has done wonders for our commercial revenue, club recognition and club identity. We should be doing everything we can to stay partnered with them.

The 2001/2 orange spider Web goalkeeping strip, the 1998 away strip and 1992 home strips are the best we've ever produced by a long way.

Dennis Wise’s form for us was a total aberration and his reputation as a club hero is ridiculous.

Kastaneer was a good signing.

Dhillons beer is all disgusting and the casino is a miles better option.

Dennis Wise should have been sent off 30 seconds into his debut. Literally straight from kick off went through Seth Johnson.

I consider him like Don Hutchinson - he elevated players. Doyle for instance was at his best next to Wise

I would have to disagree with this one.

He's done brilliantly well on a shoestring, but if you look at our 'big' signings they've all been excellent, bar Walker who has been very average.

If he can get Gyokeres, Hamer and Sheaf for a combined £3-ish million, i'd like to see what he could do with say £5-10m to spend (though that isn't much of a warchest these days!)

Wouldn't go quite as far as shit but he definitely wasn't particularly good & massively overrated due to his silly song & kamikaze runs which always came to nothing anyway.

Amadou Bakayoko > Max Biamou

Love Max, but I think Bakayoko was overall the better player. The abuse he got at some games was ridiculous

"...and I took that personally." Growing up as a cov fan, he was a cult hero of mine for the playing with broken bones, and yes, the song - I guess the threshold was low then! I remember him fondly as a tough tackling leader who'd give his all to the cause, and would go on the odd glorious (if ineffective) run to bring the ball out of defence on the frequent occasions we failed to create anything going forwards. Was he actually that good? Dunno, but I'm reaching for the rose tinted nostalgia specs than the clarity of hindsight.

Another for we wouldn't have been promoted from L1 if we were at the CBS

Robins built a massive siege mentality, us against the world for players and fans and that was a huge part of how we got up

Agreed. The St Andrews pitch was also actually pretty decent that first season whereas the pitch at the Ricoh was shocking.
Played some of the best football I've ever seen us play that year

Well, opinions may have softened since with the benefit of hindsight, but he was routinely abused by our own supporters during his time here.
