People who hate Coventry City FC ... (14 Viewers)

[Ranjit Bhurpa]

Plenty off the CCFC fans who follow us on Twitter are hardly supportive.

Also add many of the correspondents in the CT comments section. Almost as if they are poised for any bad news at CCFC, keyboard at the ready.

Our good news

The reason was probably every time he played against us when Mick Coop always played him out of the game.

You may have a point there. I saw Bestie 3 times against us twice at Highfield Road and once at Old Trafford. And he was well shackled on the 3 games by our defence. In fact I was disappointed as I'd heard so much about Best I was expecting a masterclass from him. But he was a fantastic player.

 

[Super_Johnny_Gayle]

George Best disliked us and slagged us off for some reason. Something along the line of " what's the point of Cov City ? " Never found out why he said that !

That's was Rodney Marsh who said that.

 

[robbiethemole]

I should think top of the haters list has to be SISU

Not a patch on our Julian Darby !

But Best was rumoured to also dislike us and is on record as saying so.

Yes. Many years ago, mid 80s I believe a load of Cov boys were in Whitley Bay in the North east, Portsmouth had been playing a north east side that weekend, so they also descended on the place. Long story short there was a big fight and one of Pompey's top boys got seriously hurt.
Since then on at least 2 occasions t, there has been a load of crowd trouble at Highfield Road with Portsmouth fans. It's all to do with the above.

Thought the Whitley Bay incident was in the late 90s

:happy::emoji_calling:
Were you in the bar instigating it via ya mobile?

Don't think I had one to be honest.
But then again we didn't need mobiles back in the day.

Re Portsmouth incident. One prompt fan died and one and serious brain injuries.

 

[Adge]

He's Leicester , isn't he ?

Cambridge Utd.

 

[Houchens Head]

Yes , was very bad in 2002 . it's a shame we bypassed each other this season as Fratton is only 80miles from me. I do like a day out at Pompey.

I was disappointed as well! Just a quick hovercraft trip for me!

There was trouble in 89 at Highfield Rd, after we'd beaten them and sent them down. And then around 2002 when it kicked off at half-time, bloody mental.

I remember the 2002 rumble - they got in the concourse of west terrace. It was ridiculous, fully grown blokes acting like complete muppets.

That BHSB is a cad isn't he :woot:

 

[Brylowes]

Rodney Marsh was an arrogant so & so.
George Best was a joke on soccer Saturday, pissed most of the time and only ever Reported
on Man Utd, you could win the game and it would be all about how poor they were.:emoji_angry:
On the other hand I always felt that John Motson had a soft spot for us

Motson spoke at Jimmy Hills service at the Cathedral. Great talk and he was a friend of Jimmy's and you could hear the affection not just of his friend but our club too.

One of my mate back in the day knew ian Wright , and he said that ian Wright told him that the coventry fans were horrible and at one end of highfield rd he didn't like playing towards

 

[skybluedan]

Few weeks ago there was a report in the ct about David busst and his testimonial and it said in the cut that George best was in the man Utd squad for that game , was he even still alive then?

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

I know

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

Peter Shilton didn't like us either

I've glanced it a few times and there really are the worst morons on there, a couple of them omg

I didn't like him either fuckin hunchback

 

[Sky Blue Kid]

SAF always had a affection for CCFC.

 

[Bob Latchford]

That's okay , I didn't like him either the wife beating , gambling addict . oh and from Lezta too .

 

[The Great Eastern]

Paddy Crerand.... Talksport used to home in on him every time there was anything controversial being mentioned by the media against Manure or 'his beloved' Celtic. Utterly guaranteed, totally biased, angry rant followed. Moron of the highest order...

Surprising really with the big Irish connections to Coventry.
Rodney Marsh quite clearly said on Soccer Saturday that we were in the Premier League (as we were at the time) to make the numbers up, and another pundit stuck up for us and had a go back at him, saying something on the lines of 30+ years in the top division must count for something. I've always disliked Rodney Marsh since that day.

Should be in the Telegraph archive somewhere?

5 reasons why people hate Coventry City..

Was that the end where he broke Oggys nose with his knee?

 

[footyfrenzy]

Sheffield United fans over the last couple of seasons

He broke Dave Bennett's leg with his head!!

Yep, it's looks like they're in their own private club, agreeing with each other but then frothing at the mouth if anyone disagrees with them. I can picture matron coming round every afternoon with their medication and then rounding them up in the white van to make sure they're safely tucked in for the night.

Was it? I thought it was the 80s? I got chatting to a Pompey fan at Glastonbury of all places and he told be all about it but I could have the dates wrong?

Reminds me of an old ccfc message board:woot:
