Fans singing nasty songs at each other shock!!! Bit of an over reaction to this in my view.
I am sure if Palace or Millwall were suffering in the hands of bad owners and we played them at home a song or two relating to it would ring out from the North stand.
Never realised Sheffield United and Coventry were rivals.
Everybody are rivals. Does anyone think that Burnley would have been our post match friends if they'd needed 3 points to stay up and we beat them. Footy fans are very fickle.
yes well done in disrupting the flow of the game which was heading for a draw costing your team a valuable point, possibly demoralising an improving young team and giving the Blades an undeserved 2 extra points putting them second in the table .. protest OK, fine .. BUT OFF THE PITCH
I get your point Lincs but for me the result or what happened because of the result was immaterial vs the bigger picture. Because it's so bad up there the game takes a back seat, they needed their voices heard in that way.

For me personally I would like to think the football community could come together here and unite in this instance. As with Lincs' post I get your point and yes I can't stand Millwall or Palace, but I like to think if they were going through what Cov were going through, I wouldn't sing antagonistic songs despite the rivalry.
Bit different a situation but I support Millwall's fight against Lewisham council re: purchasing of the ground around the stadium. Wouldn't want to see anything jeopardise a club's existence even if it those scummy bastards
Not having a pop at either of you just my thoughts on the subject are different here I think
Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder told BBC Radio Sheffield:
That's twice that's happened to us, at Charlton, now here. It was all set up that something was going to happen. It's disrupted the game. It's poor. I have a bitter sweet taste in my mouth. We're talking about about stuff that's off the pitch, in the stands, which is a sad day.
Firstly Chris... Be glad your not Charlton Manager because it looks like you wouldnt be able to handle any of the protests that come from the fans whilst secondly be glad that Blackpool arent in League One at the moment.
In addition if you Managers are getting fed up with the actions of fans at these clubs (its not one off case) why dont you take your complaints to the FA and get them to look into why we're protesting so that you can get on playing the game!!
P.S. Just remember, without the fans there is no cushy world for you Footballers / Managers and your lovely wages will instantly drop!!

If they'd have kept the protest off the pitch then they wouldn't have got excellent reportage like this:
Some things are more important than individual football matches, and one of them is football itself. Coventry fans are fighting for the very survival of their club. Comparatively, one individual match (or even a whole set of matches) getting interrupted pales into insignificance. Well done to the Cov fans who did exactly what they needed to do on the night. Good luck for the future.

Your thoughts on the subject are different here so piss off back to the argument & Brexit thread's

There is a video going around on Twitter of a tear up at the boxing on Saturday. I wonder if the people involved will be given banning orders and told to stay at least 5 miles away from Wembley when Joshua's fights in April.

Long live the protest.
It would be fantastic if a pre-season tournament was arranged between us, Coventry, Blackpool and Leeds.

I think we can forget Leeds now. They're back to being 'Champions of Europe'

Would we really go to London Road and act like that if their club was in trouble?

He might have been "knocked out", but didn't look like it to me.
Looked like both sides (in the fight), got what they were after.

The O's would be a better shout
