This is the same point 83 is making, which is just going round in circles. With emotion detached, I look at it as not doing enough to keep your fate in your own hands. QPR simply stopped playing against MCFC the year they dramatically won the title. They were safe and they simply give the league title to City. I don't blame QPR though, I blame our players for not getting that one extra point and taking it out of City's hands.
I can honestly say the same mate. That bottom paragraph can't even be compared to what happened at Coventry.
It's not the same thing by any stretch of the wildest imagination ......... you're starting to really annoy me with this shyte. You've made your point so now is the time to shut up imo. please log in to view this image
I dunno why you keep suggesting that I think I would think differently if it happened to my team. I've said it enough times that I agree with you all that he's done wrong. I was just interested in the important part, the consequences and how much blame you lot apportion to him for it.
I'd saved 3 bottles from that season and celebrated when Coventry & Bristol were relegated. I drank the other one on Saturday night to celebrate the death of the hypocritical cheating ego maniac. Bitter? No ............. it was lager actually
Jimmy Hill has died. Perhaps most footballers can now go back to being paid what they're worth. Minimum wage.

We didn't have fate in our own hands but the season wasn't over. If a team stays up on last day via goal difference, they may have been **** that season but there were still better than three others over a full season. Action of somebody helped to interfere and manufacture a new outcome, it wasn't an organic outcome. It was a fux ending. If it had have had been organic and we went it would have been the players fault, but that didn't happen. A whole season of fair sport disgarded on the last day through one mans attempt to manufacture his own ending. Hill played god with football, doesn't matter who the victim was, the was a perpetrator who was ready to use off field influence to effect the outcome of a football season. It doesn't compare for me with your example for me as you've presented a situation under different circumstances. Our situation was that the predetermined time bracket of the football season was intentionally manipulated. What happened with us was none playing staff manipulating the conditions out a season's out come. What Hill did was much more serious as an individual act of corruption. What you said is more akin to Chelsea this season and is more about an over all attitude and culture of modern day footballers on the pitch which for me is it very own(and probably more serious to the game long term) ugly monster Players having to sit in a centre circle waiting for a game which should have and was able to start at the same time to learn their fate all because a man in a suit with a bit of influence wanted to flex his muscles and give his football team an unfair advantage was disgusting. What the Sunderland players did or didn't do throughout the season is a mute point for me as the season wasn't fairly completed.
A subsequent Football League inquiry was held but Hill, who at the time was in a senior position at the Football League, did not stand to one side while the inquiry was held. 'Nuff said. He was a twat....
We had made a remarkable recovery from a position of no hope and would have almost certainly have stopped up, and kept the makings of a decent team together, if this disgraceful incident had not took place.
Listened to Talk Sport this afternoon, and H&J were wondering during a cringingly syrupy tribute, why, considering how many undeserving cases have been honoured, JH was not given a Knighthood for his services to football, would have loved to have heard a selection of our thoughts on the subject read out.
