When I was out there we were considered odd in that there were proper HR procedures for "local," (which actually meant Syrian, Palestinian,  Egyptian) staff and sacked people were paid up. You literally could just tell someone to get the fuck out of the building and never come back, and for any reason.

Yes, he described them as taking abrupt to a new level!

My Mate is in the Carpet game,wasnt sure if he was buying Persian Rugs or Flying Carpets!

Maybe, my take on it is that he just isn't cut out for working within the UK working culture and laws. The boss isn't all-powerful here, I don't think that's how he sees things 

My Friend,who does a quite a bit of Business with Guys from the Middle East said exactly the same last week!

I misinterpreted that too.

 

Says something about my accepted level of swearing.

Ha ha, I did the same!

Poor attendance...less that 4,000 Latics fans....weather rmaybe?

25% up on a month ago, even the wife spotted that there was a lot more home fans when she picked me up after the game. Not over concerned taking the weather into account

McCall.  But yes, they are way happier. 

Damn, always mixed them 2 up since they savaged us in a midweek cup game, Stuart McCall of course

Still, what an odd sentiment....

Was just an off the cuff comment really,never been a fan of Parkinson and I know Bradford City fans are happier with Hendry then they was was with him.

They'll be gutted to read your cutting insight..

 

Can they not sign any new players or change tactics? 

New players....yes...Tactics, doubt it, not with Parkinson in charge.

Didn't think Bolton displayed a huge amount of talent. Big fairly fast lads trying to bully us out of it. Nothing more to their game. Ngoo fell foul of that through inexperience and impatience. 

Agree about Bolton, proper one trick ponies who will struggle if they go up.

It was no myth, Dean Brill was dreadful and as for being a good shot stopper, I couldn't disagree more.

 

Any free kick within about 30 yards of our goal was like a penalty, he was truly awful.

His middle name was "Not so"

Is he the new Tiny Tim???

Notice he was soon out of breath as well, too much X-box methinks!

Rodney Jack was shit.

 

As was Richard Butcher.

When we played Rushden and Diamonds down at there place, former Coventry player Paul Hall ran the show for them, was disappointed when we signed Jack and not Hall.

Dont really want to comment on poor Ricky Butcher (RIP).  

Worst player, based on application alone, has to be Kiegan Parker by a country mile!

Went last night, thoroughly enjoyable. Mrs P loved it too... as my last visit to the Coliseum was in 1985 as an eight year old to watch Mother Goose, I was surprised how small the auditorium was. The Stuart Pyke bits were a nice touch, sounded like a mixture of re-recordings (good of him to give his time up) and the live chaos of the final day. Glad I went.

Same as ,went on Friday, was impressed with how they had done the research on  the songs, seen a lot worse

Diagree I thought he was a real handful but tired.

Agree with you 100% Gaz!

Yes I was at that game, they had a great strike force in our league that season. Rodney Jack (who was :censored:e for us) and Onandi Lowe. Think I read a few years ago Lowe had been done for drug dealing since retiring, he was pretty prolific though if I remember correctly.

 

Former Coventry midfielder Paul Hall was outstanding that day,we should have signed him instead of the innafective Rodney Jack!

 

The only negative about today was my failed diving header in the North Stand - I've got a few bruises on my legs this morning.

Ha ha,sat 2 rows behind you, thought it was coming for me at one time!

To be fair, Burgess had a reasonable game yesterday.

And last week, reads the game really well I thought

 

Held 15,000 back then,one of the biggest open ends in the country.Look for the You tube clips v WBA in 1975 when they clinched the title, biggest away following I ever saw at BP.Pisses United and City fans off when I tell the that!

The RRE terrace looks bigger than I remember it.

Dont be such a patronising tw-t

 

If relying on Croft is necessary then there is only 1 way to go. Is Dunne really not better than Reckord?

Somebody said exactly the same thing behind me today in the North stand about Croft. Cant say Dunne is better than Reckord, poor first touch,but hes a lot stronger than Reckord, wins more tackles. Shows how bad it is when Im rating players for their strength rather than ability!

In regards to championship clubs with low attendances not doing well. Look at Rotheram. Also our fanbase would increase the more successful we are. The board and owner have not grasp the concept of, if you build it they will come.

No doubt about it,and a lot of the bigger clubs would bring 3,000 or more if we could accommodate them

Known him knocking on 40 years,RIP Kenny

No chance I'm afraid.

Funnier things have happened!

Not forgetting James Robertson Justice

Ah Yes, good old Crackerbarell!

All these double barrel names!! I only knew 3 people with Double barrel names back in the 70s...Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart, Carol Bayer Sager and and Johnny Guitar Watson!
