Willis' Girlfriend (1 Viewer)

[Cov kid 55]

I was at the game yesterday, and I have to say that I was embarrassed by our lack of support. We were unable to cope with an aggressive, muscular side, who got in our faces from the first minute. This is the result of the failed summer transfer policy, which has left us short of experience and without the kind of player required to match the aggressive approach of teams like Oxford. The singing in the bar before the game was tremendous, but when it came to the first half, I didn't hear the Sky Blue song sang once,and the singing in the second half was primarily about how **** we were, along with liberal doses of sarcasm when, for example, we had a shot. At the end, the abuse given to the team by a significant number of 'supporters' was horrific.

I understand how frustrating it has been for years and years watching City go downhill, but you only need to look at the face of a young boy like Cian Harries, to understand the effect such abuse has on a young footballer, trying his best for his team. We were outfought and outplayed yesterday, but, in my opinion, the fault lies with Management for leaving us so ill equipped. I don't believe any of our players go out with the intention of not trying, and I would very much like to support a football club where the support understands the realities of the situation, and gets behind the team when the going gets tough.

Fair play to her, her loyalties should lie with her man and not CCFC. If we're big enough to call players names, we've got to be big enough to take a bit of stick back of those that care about them.

 

[ccfcway]

I would suggest the support is VERY good. All the supporters want is something to support and get behind. There was nothing whatsoever yesterday to cheer about. How we still get hundreds, let alone thousands going to away games in League One is a credit to us.

It really cant be too much to ask to give 100%. If that isn't enough them so be it. Yesterday, they didn't.

1500 is a really good turn out, but what's the point of paying good money, going to loads of effort (that car park!!!) and then roundly abusing the players. It was a poor performance, but I did feel bad about the way many of our fans responded.

I don't know one single person who says "lets do a few hours round trip, give up our saturday, pay a decent amount of money and boo some footballers"

To be fair the organisation was very poor.
I heard loads of moaning but never heard anyone shouting at the players.
Supporters blocking the gangways because they couldn't get to there seats, no safety officer no home stewards, Walking miles if you didn't park in the carpark.
To rub salt into the wounds I stayed in the hotel over night, and my view was the pitch even saw or penalty from there after leaving early for the first time.
Was amazed at how many home fans left early concidering they were 4-0 up at the time.

 

[letsallsingtogether]

maybe. just maybe they were dissapointed at paying to get there, paying to get in and giving up their Saturdays and then not seeing that commitment returned

No we are not allowed to feel robbed.
We take years of shit kicked while we are down yet we are shit supporters.
Shame the players don't show the commitment of most of our fans.

surprised they didn't leave at HT, it was over by then

 

[covcity4life]

So if she called you a "sniveling little c**t with a tiny mouse sized dick, a shit haircut and no mates" you'd be ok with that?

*that's not me saying that

Have you seen her? id be wanking off whislt she abused me lol

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

She's right to a degree, some of our support doesn't do any of us any favours and fair play to her for sticking up for her boyfriend, but, how many games has she driven to, paid to watch and come away totally let down over the last 3 or 4 years? We were shocking in the first half and fans had every right to feel badly let down with our teams performance.

 

[Warwickhunt]

I suggest that Willis slaps her down and keeps her off Twitter! footballers are quite capable of fu;!?g their lives up themselves nowadays

 

[wingy]

Maybe they are not her views alone but possibly that of the dressing room /Club et al.

 

[theferret]

As I walked away from the game Saturday, trying to get my head around what I had just witnessed and what the fall-out would be, it occurred to me that the one thing you could absolutely guarantee is that somebody somewhere will try to blame the fans.

It seems perfectly acceptable for Arsenal fans to spit venom at Wenger because they've only finished in the top 4 again. But Coventry fans showing frustration as they succumb to the mighty Oxford at the wrong end of division 3, in a game where the players pulled out of virtually every 50/50 challenge, that's out of order. How dare they.

 

[Gint11]

£22 for that inept performance. The 1500 excellent support for the shite we've had to endure would have done better given a shirt. On contrary to the above post, the Sky blue song was sang about 10 times at the starting whistle, to the point where I turned to my mate and joked about how many times its been sung already. The support the club gets astounds me more than anything else in comparison with what we've gone through.

 

[Cov kid 55]

It took me so long to get the car parked that I didn't get into the ground until just before kick off, and I didn't hear the Sky Blue song after that. I'm not blaming the fans for where we are, but I fail to see how abusing the players helps performance. The fault is with the owners of the club, and with management's failure to effectively equip the squad in the transfer window. The supporters and the players carry the can for that.

 

[Corrado]

I dont get the whole "fans to blame" shit - the players should produce the same performance whether they are playing in a packed out 30,000 stadium or down the local fucking park!

I would generally agree with the underlined. Abuse in any form is wrong. However, the performance on Saturday lacked effort and commitment and thats what infuriates me most. These footballers are in privileged positions, the very bare minimum is desire and effort and commitment. Are you going to applaud and sing after a player who looks half arsed? Would you applaud a colleague in the office for a shit job done? Remember Paul Telfer? Back then considered shite but was liked because? He tried.

 

[Cov kid 55]

Well Gint, I guess it just shows how frustrated our supporters are - talk about 50 years of hurt?! - we're getting towards that! Let's hope that tomorrow they put in the kind of performance we can all applaud!

 

[skybluebeduff]

Makes it worse that her ticket was free...

 

[letsallsingtogether]

My boss pays my wages and if I am not up to scratch he will give me a roasting.
Well same goes for the players We pay their wages which may I add are a damned lot more then most of us could even dream of and in a job they love.
So if supporters have a moan it is their right.
I for one will moan.
Fucking hell funny seen players raped on here by posters who are now moaning it goes on in games.
They are not kids, they are young adults, they need to deal with it of they are on the wrong career path.
My daughter was traveling around the world on her own at there age.

 

[Hadji10]

Our fans on the whole are vile beer swilling mongrels. Andre Wright and her probably have the right idea to be fair.

 

[chiefdave]

What was actually being said by the fans. Complaining about the performance, booing etc is well within anyone's rights. If it was personal abuse then that's out of line.

Still doesn't make calling us glory supporters right!

 

[covcity4life]

think by glory she meant like the players when winning but personal abuse when lose

We all know the sort of vile stuff that gets shouted by a lot football fans, I have no doubt the abuse went way further than general booing and complaining.


The players probably deserved it tbf but don't be surprised and upset when someone who is close to a player sticks up for them.

I'd be kind of bemused if a load of people who bought our products turned up at my office one day, mind, stood behind me and spent the entire day chanting YOU'RE SHIT, AND YOU KNOW YOU ARE at me...

I didn't hear any players get singled out for abuse, most chanting and singing was taking the piss out of ourselves in a gallows humour sort of way.

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Yes we do, where do you believe the money comes from?
Sisu fund?
Sky ?
Pies?
Or all that beer our foul beer swilling fans drink.

Exactly so we sang
were shit and we know we are.
and
how shit must you be you've only scored 4.

They're on contracts, if no fans turn up they still get paid.

 

[skybluebeduff]

Yeah season tickets paid it, along with sponsors e.c.t.

Fans keep this club running, including players contracts.

Whilst I kind of agree with the sentiment, if that's true then we can't influence and therefore what is the point of fans?
