Don't want any club at risk personally. I dislike them though but more for their fans on the banter pages as I was wasn't born in time for Hill-gate Sent from my Moto G (5) using Tapatalk
The lad who does the Cov-Blog on match day was another 'home' fan who reckons 5,000 SAFC fans didn't sing for the whole game!?!? A lot of deaf home fans attend games in Div 1 ?!?
While we're on the subject of people we're supposed to hate, has anyone listened to Lee Clark on the Roker Rapport podcast? I've always thought that his t-shirt incident was more ill judgment than malice and have never really held it against him. Which is apparently the view held by most of the other players from that era. He explains the situation on the podcast and comes across as a decent bloke.
I just wonder what would have happened that night if the Everton game got delayed 15 mins, if they match had been replayed they would have sat on the pitch most likely for 90 mins !
I wasn't even aware of what he'd done until he died as there was a thread on here. Should the grudge against the club still be as raw as it is? Hardly the current fans/players/staff's doing is it? Seems to me like the hatred should be towards the man himself as opposed to the club. My opinion, for what it's worth...
Cheers Mate, good to see everybody hasn't got the same opinion it would of gone a long way to make me feel different if Coventry had come out with some sort of apology after the old twat died but they didn't so hope they go out of business.
Aye. But we're entitled to hate CCFC as well as Hill. I, like Mr McKay off Porridge, hold them both in equal contempt.
I've no issue with it, everything is entitled to as you lot please who want to hold the grudge against both. If Jimmy Hill was running Coventry at the time why would they come out with an apology? As I said just my two pence!!
Because the club have been living with the knowledge that they are cheating bastards for 40 years just thought it might make them feel better if they got it off their chests.
Jimmy Hill built that club in his own image, and it perpetuates that schmaltzy memory still, shamelessly forgetting what a devious cheating ****-bag he really was, no, the sooner the Sky Blues vanish the better as far as I am concerned, lock stock and barrel, then maybe we can forget that plausible scoundrel, but forgive never.
One of the worst examples of Ill judgement since Hitler attacked Russia. He knew exactly what he was doing and what trouble it would cause ... ... Clark that is, not Adolf.
Well, if that's the case, it worked out better for Lee than it did for Adolf. Did you listen to the podcast? He came across as a decent fella, even for a mag, and what he said was fairly plausible. Obviously, the truth will be somewhere between the rumours and his story but if Dickie Ord, Kevin Ball and Michael Gray can forgive him, I don't see why the rest of us shouldn't.
