To be fair, it's a story that's going to be told for the rest of the supporters lifetimes, it was that meaningful. But, I imagine in 10 - 20 years time it will become far more graphic - with Dabo getting booed on his way up whilst their keeper was smoking a cigar leaning against the post.Hasn't this been done to death? How much longer do you want to keep discussing it? Let's move on.
Unless Doug's true to his word and it becomes an irrelevance?To be fair, it's a story that's going to be told for the rest of the supporters lifetimes, it was that meaningful.

I wonder what the odds on Vik getting an English Premier League winners medal 2024 are? Would he play enough games to qualify for one?Theres a few mumbles on twitter about this so thought id ask my source who is still in contact with Vik they were very close.....
Do not be surprised to see him in an Arsenal shirt soon all being well
....
Misguided arrogance? He's a footballer putting himself forward for his team. Shit management? Where has this confidence in McFadz or Bidwell come from!?
I am sure that penalties would've been practiced in the build up to that game, and I'm sure our lineup would have been fairly set - but we lost 2-3 would be penalty takers in Allen, Palmer and Hamer.
We lost the penalty shootout, people should move on and accept there's not too much influence on it the manager could've had on the outcome. Penalty shootouts are often won by the team shooting first 60-70% (a real statistic) of the time and losing the coin toss puts you at a disadvantage.
Crikey, I enjoyed Gyokeres’s time here as much as anyone but he’s never a top level prem striker.
I get that it was a huge "so near yet so far" moment, but after getting over the crushing disappointment, I was left with nothing but admiration for MR and all of the players for one of the best seasons I've had the pleasure of following in my 60-odd years. I'd rather look ahead to the prospect of giving Brum a rogering on Friday and the possibility of MR bringing in the players next month who might, just might, produce a push for another tilt at the play-offs.To be fair, it's a story that's going to be told for the rest of the supporters lifetimes, it was that meaningful.

I've followed them for 30 years and it was the worst thing I've ever experienced, a close 2nd was a the riot at Maine Road when I was about 10. I praise you for taking positivity from such a negative situation, but fuck me it was horrible. I once heard its one of the best days or one of the worst days of your life, I didn't believe it, I do now. I'm still not over it, it's a very fresh wound - and after the failure of progression this term the scab hasn't even formed yet.I get that it was a huge "so near yet so far" moment, but after getting over the crushing disappointment, I was left with nothing but admiration for MR and all of the players for one of the best seasons I've had the pleasure of following in my 60-odd years.

Fucking hell, this weed I'm smoking makes me sound all intelligent.

Allow people to get frustrated, Gareth Southgate was ridiculed for years, but he's doing alright for himself now.
It's two weeks till the Sunderland game "are you going to keep it warm somewhere until then?Fucking hell, this weed I'm smoking makes me sound all intelligent. I'm off to shit in an empty crisp packet.

Yes mate, lost 1-0 i think, our coach got attacked sat right outside the ground. Best bit of football violence I've seen.Was that the cup game?

FFSYou can shade it however you want, the bottom line is simple. We had a player take a penalty that wasn't good enough to take one. He shouldn't have been anywhere near it. He missed, didn't even hit the target, and Luton got promoted to the Premier League. We lost out.
Don’t think anyone is blaming Dabo, he went up and took the kick. That’s brave doing so.FFS
We weren't good enough in 90 mins.
We were lucky to get to ET.
We scored five really good penalties.
Likely takers injured (Hamer, Palmer).
Looking for a scapegoat is just a LOL.
You seem unable to accept a loss.
This is the sh*t that's doing my head in and to hear it being wheeled out half a season later is nuts. Every taker, with Vik as a possible exception, looked like they wanted to die.Dabo looked shot of confidence.

MR and the squad could have spent a week in a bunker, studying all penalties ever taken, and practicing pens with fan abuse piped-in at crushing volume for 10 hours a day, and Vik would be just as likely to have skied his pen than score it.
Like others have pointed out, the team taking first starts with a huge advantage. Team that chooses their own end gets a huge advantage. This is reality. Not "what if..." boll*cks. Doesn't need to be blame. Sh*t happens. Weird entitlement.
We picked the wrong person to call the coin toss. You could tell they were gonna call it wrong. MR should've made someone else do it.How did we end up second and in front of their fans? Was it two coin tosses?

We weren't good enough in 90 minutes so just accept the loss? That is a very strange take and doesn't counter any of the points I made.FFS

It came down to a penalty kick, and we had someone go forward that most of the stadium knew would miss. He did, and it gifted them the promotion. Can you not see why that is a frustration? It doesn't mean anyone's life is over, but given this is a Coventry City discussion forum, surely we can talk about it without people being babies. You seem to be one getting very sensitive about it.
Oh, and your post reads like a set of song lyrics.
