The same respect he has shown us? Sorry Otis, your posts are usually the ones I agree with most. This time you're wrong, Fisher in conjunction with Seppala and company have screwed our club over. They deserve all the abuse they get.

So in your work if you failed a customers you'd think it acceptable for the bloke to storm at you eyes ablaze calling you a Wanker?

he knows exactly the reaction he would get being amongst the fans just after the game.

This wasn't a one off, he hasn't come up with a plan to deliberately wind up supporters. He's at pretty much every away game and often takes public transport, I've always assumed because he has a drink or two.

come on Grendal, this is football and you know its different.

When I have produced a great report and got it in on time, I have never had 200 people stand there and sing my name either.

He knows exactly what he would get himself into going on any train with ccfc fans. For his own piece and quiet he should have jumped on 1st class across to somewhere else and then to midlands.

 

[chiefdave]

If he had behaved or spoke in the way he has to us over the years with a more partisan set of supporters like Leeds, he would of been fatally beaten by now!

Some of the threads on here in the last few weeks about Nazis and the like have been a real eye opener but I can't believe we've reached a point where its being said its OK to murder someone if they're bad at their job.

Going back to Coventry the same as every other time he gets the train back from a game?

Not really. The most damning bit of the whole footage was of course the end with the innocent bystanders looking terrified and confused. What will they think?

 

[martcov]

He can be questioned with dignity but not abuse

Apropos dignity and not abuse... you should read your own posts sometimes...

Thankfully, I'm certain most on this thread would do nothing.

Yes, but it only takes one person to kick off...

You're such a hypocrite. When ACL was sold to Wasps you were the one condoning violence by saying if this happened in Leeds every window at the council house would have been put through as a judgment of our fans for not doing it. As has been pointed out that if Sisu and Fisher had have owned/ran Leeds in the fashion they have our club with the same results Tim Fisher would have been properly lynched today and certainly wouldn't have been able to just walk of and catch his train. Now all of a sudden you're condemning fans for not being as bad as the fans you've previously said we should have been as bad as.

 

[pusbccfc]

Plenty of police at the station. Had anyone touched Fisher they'd have banning orders.

 

[letsallsingtogether]

I do think Fisher would have had if much, much worse elsewhere. You just hope that we are not like everyone else.

Yes I do believe he would have got much worse else where.
I think City fans have been quite restrained.
People are moaning because he got shouted at its not like he was hit or beaten up.
Fuckin hell seen worse on a night out, fuck me he thrives on it makes him believe he is a bigger man then he is.

For such an honourable man he called a City fan a Spastic a term that in itself is disgraceful that supporter actually had a disabled brother and was totally devastated.
Yes such a nice bloke.

It's also worth pointing out that Leeds have had a succession of unpopular owners, many of whom have been pretty public, and none have I believe suffered injury.

and fisher has ?

 

[theferret]

Lucky it was Coventry supporters and not Leeds, West Ham etc etc....

What does that even mean? Leeds have had a series of appalling owners, as have many clubs, and the only incident along these lines worthy of mention was the one at QPR. Charlton, Cardiff, Leeds, Blackpool fans have all fallen short of physically attacking their owners, and so have we thankfully.

Not defending Fisher or passing any comment on the video really, but this idea that if it were this club or that club it would be different is bollocks. We've spent years being in the news for protest actions, pitch invasions etc (there have been banning orders, prosecutions, threats made), so not sure what more we can do short of attacking people, and Fisher isn't even the owner, so that would achieve precisely nothing.

I wouldn't fail in my job. I know how to do it, and when I do make a mistake I have the decency to apologise and put it right. What I wouldn't do is roll my eyes and tut when asked questions I didn't like. But you know, i do get some abuse, and angry comments. I work in a very challenging job, in the most deprived parts of the Midlands, and meet people everyday who are feeling the results of constant cuts to services. Goes with the territory, I certainty don't need anyone sticking up for me. In fact if I ever get fed up with it, or feel I'm being asked by my employer to do something that's detrimental to a local community, I'd leave.

Do you really think Peter Ridsdale would have stepped foot on a train platform with Leeds United fans?

Try not to look into it too much. Enjoy your Saturday night and your class of port.

Do you think any of those would have said that to him on their own - it was a lynch mob mentality, it was ugly and should be condemned.

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

This is mob culture, yes Fisher is the frontman and deserves our condemnation for the plight of the club but a couple of weeks ago we were on the verge of an unbeaten season on this forum and not a word was raised regarding Sisu, now we are back to the bile that blighted last season.
Today we drew a football game, not the best performance but a point gained in the long season ahead.A last minute winner today and those guys would have been offering him a beer.
Decency is missing, yes he's arrogant and winds fans up but violence is counter productive just as NOPM is.
This shows Fisher in a much better light that the abusers. So we did lose today after all!

 

[Travs]

I don't give abuse to strangers.
Then again Tim is not a stranger, he is the face of the club sorry but it comes with the job.
He is not the first chairman of a football club to be shouted at and he won't be the last, it is a very passionate game and people just feel hurt and need someone to show how they feel.
In 2006 QPR chairman had a gun held to his head and told to quit.
Just 2 weeks ago Dundee United chairman was attacked by his own fans at a football game.
Then there was Newcastle fans and Chalton fans and their chairmen just to name a few off the top of my head I'm sure if I Google it there will be a lot more.

Oh that's alright then.

 

[Otis]

Exactly. The fact he's got the train with city fans, who are gutted at the way the club has been treated by him and his employers, just telks me he's an arrogant prick. If you got the train wearing a Cov top, knowing it was full Villa fans, you know whats coming.

You not thought that maybe he needed to get that train?

My daughter went for a photoshoot today and the photographer HAD to get home, as his wife had just given birth two days previous.

Maybe Fisher needed to get on that train. Night out, dinner table booked, concert, wife not too well etc.

 

[Grendel]

Utterly absurd. This is a forum and a virtual world. Oh and the people liking your post have been equally abusive and condescending.

 

[Monkeyface]

You're right (see I said I agree with most of your posts.), they don't deserve physical abuse. Or abuse on a personal nature, about family etc. And trust me when I say I would intervene if it came to either of this. But anything else is fair game.

 

[GaryPendrysEyes]

Anger at Fisher would be a normal reaction for most Cov fans, given what Fisher has done to this club over years.
A few on here, you know the 'super fans', seem not bothered at all and prefer to froth at the mouth at Simon Gilbert or anyone remotely NOPM. No idea what it would need Sisu to do to for these super fans to show any anger to Sisu or Fisher....

Absolutely, yeah I do. I would too.

Who mentioned condescending..?

 

[dongonzalos]

No sound, what's said?

Nick is there anyway I can capture that video?

 

[Monkeyface]

Absolutely, yeah I do. I would too.

And so should Fisher SISU mismanagement of our club be condemned.

 

[Monkeyface]

You've not been on here lately have you..

No mate, it's the same fucking shit. "You said this in 2014" and "yeah but you said this" etc.

Where is this Nazi post?
