It’s almost hard to remember a time in my life where Coventry City weren’t in the midst of some sort of chaos…

Where was it that Coventry were exiled to for a year or two - I think they were playing their matches somewhere like Northampton?

Northampton for a time and then Birmingham City for a time…

Though this is a bad situation a tiny part of me recalls some of the Coventry supporters arrogance about having to come and play us when they where in L2. Some of them on social media where vile before and after the game, completely classless.

Always remember one of the worse referrying decisions of my life when we played them here.
We got a free kick near the halfway line. Our centre half put it down to take it, but Macca came out to take it, so he rolls it back to Macca for him to take it. One of their players nipped in to take it off Macca and puts it in the net. Ref gave a goal after consulting the linesman.
Don't think that ref has reffed another league game!

Not sure it was a shocking decision myself. It could have been prevented by Collins either not touching the ball or by throwing it to McKeown.

45 seconds in.  Yeah, Collins' copulated that one up.  Don't get the need to touch the ball, it's already in the position where the free-kick will be taken.  

Their second goal is pretty horrific too, how McKeown and (I think) Paul Dixon have managed to find a gap between themselves for that header to get between I'll never know.

James Berrett with, arguably, his most notable contribution during his two-year spell at the club on there as well.

I've seen several similar incidents since, and they always remind me of that day at Blundell park. In every other incident, the ref always makes them retake the free kick. I've never seen another incident where if a player kicks a ball back for a free kick to be taken, and an opponent tries to play on, the ref will let them. It's  a one off.
