You are 100% bang on and it's a point I along with others have made that had been missed by certain individuals.

I have no idea about anything apart from you mentioning a knee op once I think?
I said "must having a hearing problem" for not hearing the whistle along with a wink as it was meant as in people strangely didn't hear it, the same as people say refs need glasses, the same as when people say "are you blind" when the ref misses something.
Are you really trying to play that card?

No not at all. Just asking for you to think before you post!

no ones blaming fans for our demise, they're blaming them for blowing whistles during the game, the two things don't have to be connected. Unless your sense of reasoning has gone out the window.
If I shit into my hand and smeared sisu out on the stair well of block 16 would anyone who criticised me be a sisu lover or are some forms of protest just not that good an idea?

If it's the Sky Sports highlights, the footage of the second goal starts after the incident so it's not on the video.

Said it before on here and will say it again, I have no problem confronting anyone on here to discuss personally the stances I make by sticking up for fellow supporters. I've been to all protests, I've been to all meetings, it's funny that no-one calls each other names at these yet people do so on here, now that's fucking ironic Torch!

That is fair enough Nick a lot of people may have heard a whistle (and it should not be happening and it is no form of protest with any value). But that in itself is not proof it affected the players.. The only ones who can say that are the players. It looked to me like they switched off and were wrong footed when the ball came back in. But again only the players can really tell us.
The important thing for me is the time for protest is before the game, half time and after the game. During the game support the players. I would ask all fans lets put the whistles to bed. It has been done, move on to something else. Why because it divides fans, not just Coventry fans but potentially turns other clubs against us. The protests are meant to increase awareness not loose us sympathy and support.

If you have a disability and I had any idea then of course I'd think before posting and wouldn't use it against you. It was quite clearly not meant seriously, the same as when I have said people are being like Wenger I clearly mean "they didn't see it" rather than they are in their 60's, wearing a long coat and speaking with a french accent.

I think he is. I reckon CJ knows yesterday was a bit of a fuck up. The whistles that led to their goal have taken the spotlight away from the sit-in, which should be the main focus. The protests (whether part of an official organisation or not) are starting to lose us points. A lot of fans aren't going to be happy with that.

Whatever happened with the goal the whistles need to stop, it's just making other clubs turn on us and is doing nothing to help with the issues at hand

You know what, I have always had the feeling you'd be quite happy to confront people. You're obviously well 'ard.
I'm all for sticking up for fellow supporters but when their actions mean we lose points then I think they should be condemned by everyone. But no, it doesn't work that way apparently.

I fully agree, I might not agree with methods of protests etc but if they are away from the game then it's fair play. The pitch invasion I understood why it was done but disagreed with the timing, if it was done on the 4th minute at 0-0 before the game was panning out then although I wouldn't agree with them on the pitch it would be totally different to what happens.
Also agree about opposition fans, all it will do is make them dislike CCFC fans. Can already see sheffield united fans pissing themselves about it

So instead of reading it like a chance to have real discussions without keyboards, you've taken it like it has to be a violent type of confrontation? are you for real?

I don't blame CJ for whistling, what is annoying is that it is somehow justified, played down or straight out ignored and denied.
The game before people were encouraged to whistle through the game, so it was carried on.
All it takes is to clearly condemn it, try their best to make sure fans don't act the same. I understand that if an individual does it it's down to them, but they also need to see they encouraged it last game and are now trying to make out as if nothing happened.

Did you read the article? it clearly says the entire game, even mentioning the Sheff Utd game. But of course you never read it, the headline suits your agenda.

Yes, I did. It clearly states the whistles proved a distraction on the pitch. You've been saying it didn't affect what was happening on the pitch.

I don't blame him either. Never said I did. However, I think he knows that the whistles (nothing to do with him, I know) lost us two points and took the spotlight off his sit in, which has hardly been given a mention. It's a shame, but as I said, this kind of thing won't help the cause one bit.

Did it say it affected his players that much that they conceded goals because of it and scored an equalizer because of it too?

Oh I see. So you've gone from it didn't affect the players to it might of but it didn't contribute to the goal. You're right obviously. Enough said.

This is all quite laughable.
Some people didn't hear a whistle blown in a noisy stadium with over 10,000 there.
Do we all always hear the refs whistle? Surely there are lots of times some of us don't hear it for many reasons (shouting or cheering around you, wrong end of the pitch, talking to your mate at the time etc).
It's also a ridiculous notion to say the whistleblowing was part of the protest from the previous game.
I'm sure if the organisers of the previous protest had known that individuals were then going to go on and bring whistles to the next game they probably wouldn't have done it. It was clearly meant to be a one off. Each protest has been different (coffin, sit in, whistles etc.)
And unless people are suggesting that the Protest Police should have checked everybody's pockets yesterday to confiscate all whistles, then I don't know what else they were supposed to do.
Guess what, idiots go to football matches. Some idiots thought it would be a good idea to disrupt the game yesterday. The whistleblowing of the previous game was a cacophony of whistles in unison, designed to bring attention and not designed to affect play. THAT was the protest. Not the individuals blowing random whistles to put the players off that happened yesterday.
Also, can someone please show me one post from after the Sheff Utd game that said the whistles were a really bad idea because some individuals might then take a whistle again to the next match?
All so easy to be wise after the event.
This clearly had nothing to do with the previous protest.
It's like the scary clown thing. Someone sees it or hears about it and then decides to do the same thing.
In hindsight, maybe it was a bad idea for the whistle protest but it is just that, hindsight.
This was just a few idiots who had their whistles left over and decided to deliberately blow to affect the game, which was the exact opposite of what the protest was trying to do in the previous game.
Get a grip lads.
Some heard the whistles, some didn't. Many people say it formed part of the goal being conceded and some say it didn't.
I guess that now only if Slade or one of the players say yes it did make them stop will we truly know.

No I asked you a question to see if Parkinson had said that. But you won't answer it. End of.

At the Sheffield United game multiple whistles were being blown constantly so really it was not too hard to distinguish between those and the whistles yesterday which were not constantly being blown.
I don't think it is laughable to be honest. Home fans, away fans, the ref (to the captains) and the Bolton manager commented on it. To say it wasn't a distraction is wrong.

If it happened, wouldn't he of mentioned it? He's already had a go about it, why not mention the effect it had? Because it never effected the result...
