So Proud To Be A Coventry Fan Tonight (8 Viewers)

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

All those years of pain and suffering, the embarrasment that's come with being a Coventry City fan has been unbearable at times.

Tonight every single football fan in the country will be looking up and saying 'fair play Coventry' (apart from Sunderland), and that feels so bloody good.

Let's kick on from this and get this promotion we all deserve.

Well done to Robins, and well done to the players.

PUSB!

I am as happy with the result as any one but I would prefer we get out of this shitty league! I will keep my feet on the ground at the moment. What most got me in recent years was our win at Wembley even in a tin pot cup 100 times better than today. I would love there to be increased media coverage on how SISU have screwed us too.

Great performance, but I think most of us are proud to be a Coventry fan all of the time?

Well said. We’re still a fuckin joke of a shambles.

Great win and a record for Coventry I believe: First time we have beaten a team 3 leagues higher than us.

Nice to be the Giant Killers for a change.

Agree good win

 

[Ashdown]

Had a message from my Leicester mate and it's full of praise for City for their win today.

Why? You ought to get a bit of perspective. Young team full of talent we've developed ourselves who appear to be on the way back after years of decline.

Yeah, in the bottom tier after beating Stoke. Perspective?

 

[cov4theprem]

And they’ve sacked hughes now

 

[stevefloyd]

Hey lets have no negatives tonight lets enjoy our great win and no moaning for a change...we have endured years of utter garbage but maybe just maybe we are on the brink of something special PUSB

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

This is a side show the league number 1 priority , enjoy the moment but the League and a win in the league makes me happier than this. We have to get out of this league !

 

[Hobo]

How many League 2 teams have beaten Premier teams? How often did old Division 4 teams beat the old 1st Division teams?

Today's victory is an historic victory in the context of the club's history however you look at it.

Ok we should be in the Premier League cos we were 16 years ago.

Now that’s better!

 

[Essexrobbie]

Unfortunately all those around us in the league went out today so the next round we will fall behind with the fixtures. Colchester had a chance to go level with us but blow it big time, but we havn't got to replay so a double bonus. Really hope we get a big club to sell out at home. Villa would have been nice but they're out as well.

I was talking about the club, not the team!
We have no home after this season, we can’t aford to pay expenses for scouts to travel, we have owners who would rather invest in frivolous legal cases than invest in the squad, they charge £25 for walk ups, but can’t lay on decent catering. We’re having to play on a rugby pitch, and be grateful for it!
Etc etc etc,

 

[oakey]

Have to admit I didn't go but thrilled at this fantastic win.

And yet, and yet, part of me hates the idea of CCFC as plucky giant killers. And let's not kid ourselves that the media is really interested in us. They are interested in the "story" of a Premier League club and manager brought low. They love the symmetry of the two Marks as players who saved Fergie and now a new angle.

I know, I know, SHFWF. We are where we are, blah, blah, blah, I know.
It reminds me that we are in the same bracket as all lower league sides and that is still painful

Let's hope this is another small step to an upturn in our fortunes. Well done players, manager and fans. Proud to be Sky Blue.

 

[pusbccfc]

Considering the divide, this is the biggest upset by us.

Even when we beat United away a few years back, we were a top half Championship side.

The Stoke team today had players across the pitch on wages a week that our lads get a year.

So proud of the lads.

 

[Johhny Blue]

To put this in perspective we are without arguably our four best players, had a baby making his debut, half of the team don't shave yet and we tossed in our back up keeper for some game time. Not bad

 

[wingy]

Been a long time I've awaited MOTD eagerly.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Easily pone of the biggest attendances in the third round.

Some shockingly poor attendances at some matches.

Birmingham 7k, Cardiff 6k, Brentford 7k, Bolton vs hudd 11k, Blackurn vs Hull 6k, qpr 6k, Watford vs Bristol City 13k to name but a few.

 

[johnwillomagic]

Fantastic result and hopefully it will help us continue momentum in league as getting up obviously has to be top priority.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Nice to be the Giant Killers for a change.

To be fair, it's only briefly we've ever been three leagues lower than any fucker else!

 

[bawtryneal]

Has been a great day and really enjoyed the experience at the Ricoh for a change
After dismal away days at Port Vale and Accrington and home to Newport I feel enthused again. Long may it continue.

Etc etc etc,

The club doesnt do the catering.

Again, somebody overly keen to rant doesn't know what they are ranting about.

Can safely say nobody was thinking about politics yesterday at the game, no kid was hugging their dad and jumping about and being put down because their dad was angry about the ticket price.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Last time we played Stoke we took a 1-0 lead in to half time, then gave away an early penalty and went on to lose. A few leagues lower the scenario repeats itself but Grimmer scores a cracker and we dig in to see it out.

While the condescending guff on the BBC bothers me this is the sort of fight that we haven't seen in a long time. The damage to the club's stature has been the most difficult thing to accept this season but things change very quickly in football as a few promotions can show.

 

[standupforcity]

Yeah just a few internationals outplayed!

so no ones allowed to have a day off from that and enjoy a great result or find any positives in the young home grown lads doing us proud at the moment? Get a grip FFS.
It might be difficult for you to hold two trains of thought in your head but some of use find if quite easy to be disgruntled with the owners and enjoy days like yesterday.

It dosnt matter WHO does the catering, the fact is it’s crap for the fans.
The whole match day experience needs improving. One great result should not be allowed to gloss over the state of the club.
And how many of those dad hugging kids will be at the next home match?

Well that makes sense.

You can only think from the perspective of fans who will pay that given the circumstance, not the thousands that didn't go due to that.

Nick is happy to pay 60 quid, so everyone else should pay the same otherwise they can fuck off. That's your mentality right?

No, my mentality is that if people are more than happy to not go because of a couple of quid then they can't have been that bothered about going in the first place.

Probably all of them as the ones I saw have been at most games this season.

Surely it does matter who does the catering when you are blaming the wrong people for it?

It's amazing that people shit themselves when fans are positive about a result like yesterday like this.

it's incredible isn't it?
If anyone thinks that yesterdays result has made people forget about mismanagement or the fact we don't know where we're playing next season, (like you I'm convinced we'll be at the Ricoh), then they are an absolute fucking idiot.

It's just about enjoying a great performance by the team we support, you'd think it was a crime!
