    On the way to the ground chatting with some Coventry fans each one great value and had a laugh and shared a few tall tales. Only knobheads encountered were our own, trying to kick the shutters of a sales point at half time. 
    As for the game great until Bell went off. 
    We seam so static compared to other teams, Coventry were constantly moving and looking for the ball.  We had brief moments where we threatened but looked ineffective and at times chased shadows. 
    Train back from the ground to Nuneaton an absolute farce. 
    Still Pompey is now a must win!

    My girl needed a wee at half time so we left on the whistle and those sales point shutters were actually shutters separating us from the Coventry fans. 

    Poor girl was petrified when the Coventry fans started kicking the shit out of the shutters right by the women's toilets.  The Charlton fans (not me) responded to that in kind.  But you blame our fans if you want to.
    Nothing to do with our lot. Cov fans were kicking the shutters when I was down there at halftime. Wasn't particularly intimidating as a quick glance you could see the shutters were locked into the floor. A few lads decided to give them a kick back. I imagine it was just kids the other side. But strange how Cov allowed them to do it.

    Edit. Why are people in Coventry so angry? Really fucking rude stewards outside shouting when I simply asked where the away bit was and some absolute helmets at the train station "managing" that shit show! You're top of the league ffs why so much aggression?
    What  boggzy said.

    Cov fans allowed to gesture all game swear and be abusive when there 3rd went in gave a bit back and was immediately collared by 2 old bill i left of my own accord but the home side next to us seemed more concerned on singing about Charlton and videoing the away end. I do hate the Modern era where everything is videoed. The uncle and nephew in cov home end little fat kit with slicked back hair have quite a successful blog at games both were videoing themselves at half time kicking the shutters and starting off Charlton get battered etc. 

    similar to Brum, horrible club, bias police hope they fuck it up, always seems to be a more wanky steward set up when it’s a 1 club city.

    This is football, 2 fans of the same club having totally opposing views of a single players performance. Not digging either of you out, but this is why football and Charlton Life are brilliant and totally subjective at times. 
    I don’t like the abuse he gets (or any player) but I’m astounded anyone could think that was anywhere near his best game of the season.

    The only real disappointing thing is had we taken this gameplan away to Stoke we could easily have walked away with a point from there  (at least). 

    Kept it tight and compact and handled the runaway league leaders well, lost our way with Bell going off and change in shape, change back in the second half and dealt with them well enough again considering. 

    Ah well, tough run over at least.

    The fat Elvis kid should have been spoken to 20 mins before KO and probably thrown out before the game started. I don’t blame the kid, I feel sorry for him if that’s what his guardians are encouraging. But Cov actively encourage this stuff. Embarrassing.

    He and his uncle are the ones on the podcast, just annoys me that there fans spent the entire game trying to force some sort of rivalry with Charlton bizzare tbh. 

    equally the "limbs" when we scored were ott as rows behind me came crashing in and resulted in 2 of us ending up 2 rows in front.

    Coventry and their fans seem to have developed delusions of Grandeur and expectation led by that Knob  Lampard, and I would love to see them brought down a peg or two big time...

    dismal 7 days, 11 goals conceded. Pompey and oxford at home are must wins Imo for December. 

    all 3 sides we have faced have been decent cov are pretty much nailed on to be prem next season, saints were in a false sense of position and stoke are also a team that will be in the playoff mix.

    Yet another game where I found myself surrounded by some of our worst fans.

    After Knibbs scored, the guy to my left climbed onto his seat and kept kicking my seat down with his other foot, with it repeatedly hitting my leg. He then jumped on top of me, putting his full weight onto the back of me neck. I am still in pain and that could have ended up a whole lot worse for me.

    Why did he do this? Well, he wanted to hit some Coventry fans and I was blocking his path to them. He got past after almost breaking my neck and continued his way towards the Coventry fandom. He was immediately stopped by the police, but kept trying to push past them to get into the home end. He was immediately removed from the ground.

    His mate then tried telling me that it wasn't his mate that has had jumped on top of me, but somebody behind. Of course it wasn't. I saw him...

    A few minutes later, his mate tells those around him that, if we score a second, I am to get battered as it's my fault their friend was arrested by the police. Again, it wasn't. I doubt the police were even aware of the fact that he jumped on top of me. It was him trying to climb into the home end that got him arrested.

    Five minutes before the end, another one of this guy's mates wants to get into the home end to beat up a child... It looked like this guy was also going to be arrested, so the guy who had arranged to have me battered earlier went down and involved himself. My view was obstructed after that, so I don't know if they were also arrested or were just told to leave.
    May I suggest you sit/stand towards the front in future?
    Definitely not at the dividing line between fans and also not towards the back.
    For clarity, which of the following are you saying?

    A - This was somehow my fault and I deserved to have a grown man almost break my neck because I chose to stand in the area that offered the best view of the game.

    B - The majority of Charlton fans that stand in seats near opposition fans attempt to access the home end, so this was inevitable.

    Given that it was only one small group of friends (who I have never seen at any other games before) that did this and it wasn't everybody around me, it can't be the latter.

    I can only assume that these were mates of yours.

    Took my niece to her first away game. Not sure she’ll come again in a hurry. Not because of the result or the shit transport links to /from the ground but due to our own fans. The ones sitting in our seats refusing to move or make eye contact and being dismissive and calling me love. The ones trying to fight the opposition. The ones kicking the metal gate on the concourse. The ones pushing to get on the trains. Thanks to them. Hope you all have a shit day today contemplating your obnoxiousness. 

    Been on about this for several seasons, its as bad going home on trains where they feel they can sit where they like and not move. I saw one guy get kicked out because he was goading the Coventry fans when we scored, and was told to stop but wouldn't. Did the prick honestly think we were going to hang on. Some of our decent fans could have had that twats ticket.

    Why they dont stay away and let the rest of us enjoy a day out and support their team i dont know.

    And as you state we had to have a facility announcement for some of our fans kicking those metal shutters as they were being seen on CCTV.

    A guy in front of me didn't celebrate our goal as he was more interested giving it the shaking wrist sign to the opposition.

    The train issue was crazy the 17.03 was only a  couple of carriage, the transport infrastructure their is very poor considering its an out of town modern stadium.

    I think once you become aware that this contingent exists in the crowd then you can preempt it to some extent and plot a course of action to avoid the upset. Some games attract them and sometimes it's possible to move to another part of the stand without encountering any direct implications. Sometimes you can report them and sometimes stewards even do something about it.

    Had I been one row back or one row forward, this wouldn't have happened. It was just a small group of people.

    I go to every game (home and away) and in over 30 years have not once seen Charlton fans turn on their own (prior to the Coventry match) to get into the home end.

    This group were not even there to watch the game. The guy who was arrested after Knibbs scored literally didn't see a second of football. He spent his entire time there watching the Coventry fans while providing a running commentary on what various ones were doing.

    I've never really understood people whose first instinct when their team scores is to give it to the opposition fans. Your team just scored and instead of enjoying the moment you're worrying about yelling abuse at someone across a concourse, it's weird behaviour. Performative fan culture has become so rampant with the growth of social media accounts posting videos of 'limbs' you start to wonder if some people are happier about the goal or the opportunity to make a tit of themselves. 
    Isn't that just the nature of football fans though? Same as when a player scores and goads opposing fans. It's a territorial sport. As long as there is no physical violence, I don't see the harm and personally like what it adds to the games. 

    These same performative fans yourself and others may be hinting at our some of our most important fans for atmosphere, and so long as they aren't fighting people physically, I like them doing it. There would be no atmosphere without them.

    Would rather a performative manager and performative fans who back the team, than Appleton and fans sitting on their hands for 90 mins.

    We now have Pompey twice in this month, Oxford and Norwich. Imo if we want to stay up, we can't really afford to lose to any of them unless it's a high points return total in return, I.e 7 or 9 out of 12. 

    By far the most important fixtures, and Pompey at home is the first real must win of the season.

    Surprised more people don't think we are in a relegation fight potentially. The football has been very poor since Ipswich away, important players are injured, and we are lacking quality in all areas, mainly midfield and up front.

    Owners need to back Jones this window or we could easily see ourselves back down in that dreadful league.

    We’ve looked shit without a LWB available, but even on Saturday we were very good for the 30 minutes that we did have one available. That gives me enough confidence we will be absolutely fine once we have that sorted

    With an eleven on the pitch that has everyone in the right position and role, we have proven we can get results against any team in this league, and the first 30 mins on Saturday showed that was still the case

    Saw them before the game. A fat little pre-pubescent waste of sperm and a bloke with a sling bag. Probably related.

    Sadly this is the social media world we live in, but they have very few views (262 so far, likely to go up as we all watch it), they have garnered 9 likes (themselves and their relatives) and 79 subscribers (the rest of their cousins).

    Please don't give them more views!

    Depends on what you look for in atmosphere really. For me a great atmosphere is fans supporting the team, singing songs about our players and our history and dragging the players forward. That's what most of our fans do, the ones I don't like are the ones who are only interested in singing embarrassing songs at the opposition (your sister is your mother etc), exclusively celebrating goals by swearing at the opposition fans and offering them out for a fight that they have no interest in actually having. That kind of stuff isn't atmosphere, it's noise. No-one wants fans to sit on their hands for 90 minutes but I think there's quite a lot of space between that and the kind of over the top aggressive coked up nonsense that occupies the other end of the scale.

    I think if you look at the CL stats you can see who was most accurate (mind you, you only had to watch the game).

    Absolutely mate, being a football supporter is a passion, and people are passionate in their take on squad, team selection and everything else that goes with it. Sheedy is talking rubbish though 😂😂

    What I am saying is the safest most sedate place to sit/ stand if you have the chance is most usually at the front.

    The most likely worst place to stand/sit is at the dividing line between home & away fans.

    The next worse place to sit/stand is at the back near the drummer/singers/“lads”.

    What perhaps should happen at football and what does happen can be entirely different.
    It’s not like going to the theatre.

    Agree with most of that - but Pompey at home I'd rank as a don't lose, rather than must win. Stopping the rot and not letting the gap close. If that means a boring 0-0 I'd take it - Mansfield at home Lincoln away last December would be the equivalents. What it can't be is another Crawley - I'm hoping Southampton/Stoke were the equivalent wake-up calls this season, and the worst is behind us.

    The bit I put in bold - if NJ and the players haven't grasped that then we're in trouble. But I think they now have.

    I said to Mrs this will be the equivalent of Birmingham away last year where both sets of fans were on a big Terry fuckwits day out .
    she sat near the front on Saturday  and petrol head was at the back with the young wallys .
    it is what it is , the Cnut filter down at zampa road has holes in it and we are ending up with more dicks than previous

    Five minutes before the end, another one of this guy's mates wants to get into the home end to beat up a child... It looked like this guy was also going to be arrested, so the guy who had arranged to have me battered earlier went down and involved himself. My view was obstructed after that, so I don't know if they were also arrested or were just told to leave.
    May I suggest you sit/stand towards the front in future?
    Definitely not at the dividing line between fans and also not towards the back.
    For clarity, which of the following are you saying?

    A - This was somehow my fault and I deserved to have a grown man almost break my neck because I chose to stand in the area that offered the best view of the game.

    B - The majority of Charlton fans that stand in seats near opposition fans attempt to access the home end, so this was inevitable.

    Given that it was only one small group of friends (who I have never seen at any other games before) that did this and it wasn't everybody around me, it can't be the latter.

    I can only assume that these were mates of yours.
    What I am saying is the safest most sedate place to sit/ stand if you have the chance is most usually at the front.

    The most likely worst place to stand/sit is at the dividing line between home & away fans.

    The next worse place to sit/stand is at the back near the drummer/singers/“lads”.

    What perhaps should happen at football and what does happen can be entirely different.
    It’s not like going to the theatre.
    I said to Mrs this will be the equivalent of Birmingham away last year where both sets of fans were on a big Terry fuckwits day out .
    she sat near the front on Saturday  and petrol head was at the back with the young wallys .
    it is what it is , the Cnut filter down at zampa road has holes in it and we are ending up with more dicks than previous 
    Yep, I tend to go more middle or back, but most of us know where is most likely the best place for ourselves.

    This is football, 2 fans of the same club having totally opposing views of a single players performance. Not digging either of you out, but this is why football and Charlton Life are brilliant and totally subjective at times. 
    I don’t like the abuse he gets (or any player) but I’m astounded anyone could think that was anywhere near his best game of the season. 
    Don’t think he gets abused, more either overly criticised or overly praised depending what end of the spectrum you are, I do agree the accusation of him being lazy is a bit off, but he does sometimes go into his shell when things get a bit tough.

    Just watched back Tanto's touch and finish for that massive chance to make it 2-0. Jonesy must be ripping the rest of his hair out.

    Just watching the first twenty seconds of that was enough to make me advocate compulsory sterilisation
