Aye, what has he done? Was this really worth a thread?
edit: link? I wouldn't be surprised, but who can blame him?

I thought you were referring to the size of his manhood....:facepalm:
If he said that, then, yes, he is a prick.
DO you have the link to twitter where he said this?

Only a good shop window as long as Southampton don't put 6 past him. :facepalm:

Caught a bit of it....thought that he said in the absence of Keough and Clingan etc....that which ever young player came in that it would be a shop window to showcase their talents with a view to command a regular place for next year.... personally thought nothing of it. He also said something along the lines of that a footballer never goes out to go through the motions (yes....I know...!!!) So the players would be giving their all next week. Unless something else has been said on twitter....this has been misinterpreted....he has used the term 'shop window' in slightly the wrong way
....he is a footballer after all!!!......

F*ck him, I'd play Dunn on sat anyway as Murphy will obviously be sold. Might as well play the kids, means jack shit anyway.

Yep - interview I saw he was talking about being favourites for promotion and backing thorn, and about being here next year.
Looks like misinterpretation to me, unless someone can find a direct quote.

I've seen absolutely nothing on Twitter so it's the first I've heard of it.

2 points. 1) How did you see it? 2) How could anyone see it with 90 minutes of football all season?

Apology
Some people seem very quick off the mark on this site to call people pricks and twats. Especially players who probably don't deserve it.
Would be nice when someone clearly gets it wrong and the player defiantly did not deserve it. If that person is man enough to post an apology

Joe Murphy is a class keeper who has played for crap teams. Joe Murphy will probably be sold this summer as he is good enough for a top half or premiership team. I would say he is better than Chris Dunn but Dunn will still be good enough for our league 1 side. Martin Craine, Sammy Clingan are deffinatley leaving and I heard Gael Bigarami will be signed by a premiership team.

Disappointing that everyone has interpretted Murphy's words so negatively. This should be the point that we start supporting players and certainly giving them the benifit of the doubt.

Don't rate him he has been awful in many games this year and a few decent saves doth not a keeper make!

Yep - he's given 100% every game talks about next season positively and he's a traitor and rubbish anyway. Also why do people talk up his deputy when they have never seen him play. There was a thread on Saturday when Keogh was ranked a 3 for Saturday and he's form (apparantly) has been awful for quite a while.

I'd say the "pr*ck" here is the one that completely misinterpreted what Murphy said and didn't even provide a link to backup his ludicrous statement.
Scaremongering ill-informed City fans, have we now got this for the next 12-18 months?
The worrying thing is other Cov fans will read this and take it as gospel.

You are as guilty of talking him down without seeing him play. But I agree with what you are saying here.

I have seen him play 3 times for us and I have seen him a couple of times at Northampton.
To be fair he has lost some weight and with work may be OK but he is a long way short of playing 46 games a season.

Anyone who thinks Dunn should play instead of Murphy needs their head examined.

I yelled at Bill Glazier once in 1966, called him a big girls blouse because he took a goal kick and it went straight out for a throw-in. No tinterweb in those days, so I'll apologise now Bill! I've lived with this for years. It's been such a burden on my conscience!

A lot of people forget that these footballers are just human beings, they're not heroes and they're not robots either. They aren't like us, they don't passionately support Coventry City (most of them). They happen to be professional footballers rather than plasterers or mechanics or whatever and by some sort of chance they have ended up here with a team who has been relegated. So when they consider their next move they take a lot of things into account, what they get paid here, how much they like it here, what they might get somewhere else, where their mrs wants to live etc. So of course they think they might be in the shop window this weekend, it's natural.
Some on here seem to expect them to put Coventry City first second and third and ignore their own family. Get real.
