Ah, but will we discuss the sensible things sensibly?
Ah, but will we discuss the sensible things sensibly?Thank god the new season starts next week and we will all have something sensible to discuss.
2 good goals. We definitely need more of those runs. The only 1 concern i have with palmer and o'hare at the top of the box is that neither particularly wants to make runs in behind the striker.What we need more of this coming season, bursts from midfield to link up.
Are you related to Julian Darby?!What we need more of this coming season, bursts from midfield to link up.
I was there when he scored away at Swindon Town the year they were in the top flight. My one decent memory of him!
He did indeed score at Swindon in the Prem (and we lost 3-1there).
This was Darby’s finest moment for City. He became a Man Utd legend in this game.

That is an interesting point and you maybe right on some players.I abs love some of these players but actually doubt they’d get into our starting XI in the championship.
Jenkinson wouldn't have got into our League 2 sideI abs love some of these players but actually doubt they’d get into our starting XI in the championship.
We look almost pedestrian in comparison to todays squad.I abs love some of these players but actually doubt they’d get into our starting XI in the championship.
aye were the instructions "be pretty shit"?Doesn't reflect overly well on Strachan's instructions...
Matt Le Tissier also called him the fittest player he'd ever played with, so good stamina/works hard + does what he's told = strengths that managers like that fans don't always see? Especially back then-nowadays there would be graphs galore showing his ground covered etc. He was a crap passer though, he gave it away so often, the statistics on that would hammer him.I overheard Strachan once when he was watching from the Director’s box. He said that Telfer followed instructions better than any other player in the squad.
Telfer used to infuriate me but he was obviously told to stay put, break up play and be in certain areas of the pitch at certain times rather than be a creative player.
Can't seem to find the right place to forward the following WhatsApp chat I've just received from a Fester supporting mate of mine, but the title of this thread reminded me of days gone by when, if you wanted to go and watch a game of footie, you just racked up on the day.....
How about this then!!?
I purchased a ticket online for the Southampton home game to give a friend, a 85yr old gent who loves football, to have an afternoon out.
The club policy now is all home tickets bought online must be downloaded to an app on either an iPhone or smart phone, and used via the phone to enter the ground.
After spending literally 2 hours trying to get my head round a Google pay/ wallet app the ticket disappeared into the ether. After the biggest bullshite of a phone call to the club, it's my responsibility as the ticket can't be downloaded twice and as my pal only owns a basic phone, he has to use my phone for entry. Different turnstile, different part of the ground!!
1. He'll have my phone for the whole match.
2. He wouldn't have a clue how to operate it.
3. I've yet to get my head round were the ticket, QR code, or whatever it fuckin is, is hiding!!!
No hard copy, print options, available say the club.
I may have to take trip to the KP tomorrow and punch some twat!!
PS...
My phone savy son, daughter, or granddaughter can't solve it!!!!!
Flynn/Boland/Darby, what a midfield! But West Ham's side was as shit as ours, it's just the pre-money era.What we need more of this coming season, bursts from midfield to link up.
Jenkinson wouldn't have got into our League 2 side
I don't recall it working onceNot even after his fiftieth step over?

I don't recall it working once
I watched him play for the reserves and it didn't work then either.I don't recall it working once
We were simply magnificent that day. Spurs with Sheringham, Barmby, Klinsmann in their pomp couldn’t live with us.Darby, to be honest, had a few nice touches up his sleeve, had perhaps 4 or 5 goals per season in him (if he had played a lot), but that was it.
All I really recall about him, from matches, is being anonymous for long periods and then being knocked off the ball quite easily. But then, that backheel to Strachan against Spurs, then Dublin leathering it past Ian Walker. 3-1, thanks for coming.
Was that the night game at WHL that Strachan terrorised Justin Edinburgh?We were simply magnificent that day. Spurs with Sheringham, Barmby, Klinsmann in their pomp couldn’t live with us.
We terrorised the Spurs team that night.Was that the night game at WHL that Strachan terrorised Justin Edinburgh?
Stop sending highlights!!
Just found this
Hats off to anyone who can spot the ex-Cov player in this clip
Brian Alderson?Hats off to anyone who can spot the ex-Cov player in this clip
To make it easier, I’ve highlighted him here
Was gonna say, Darby was the ballboy
Chris Marsden looked unfathomably brilliant to me in his loan spell. Does anyone have any concrete or otherwise reason/rumours for him not signing? I thought he was class against Swindon-OK it's just Swindon-just found the full match online and in the intro, Keys says "Chris Marsden was MOM in the 2-1 win at Spurs and his move is expected to be made permanent shortly". So why didn't it? What went on? Is it the "bit of a nutter" stuff we've all heard since? Because he could surely have filled an Ian Crook sized hole in our midfield for relative peanuts.Chris Marsden would have been a great player for us,
That month or so Chris Marsden and Julian Darby played together our midfield looked the business but in typical Coventry City stile they botched up the permanent signing of Marsden and once he left Darbys limitations were clear, just what happened re. Marsden I’ll never know left us to join lower division Wolves.Chris Marsden would have been a great player for us,
They didn’t botch it. off field reasons why he didn‘t want him.That month or so Chris Marsden and Julian Darby played together our midfield looked the business but in typical Coventry City stile they botched up the permanent signing of Marsden and once he left Darbys limitations were clear, just what happened re.
