As people in Spain, USA, Croatia and possibly even Canada & Australia are watching live in HD, I'm listening to you muppets.

Ah well...

Come on you MUPPETS!!! (I mean, Shrimps!)

[marky No.1]

Good interview by the Mohican LIVE on BBC..

LIVE stream in Spain looking at the empty seats

[fletch_al]

first time listening in a long time! finally back from my travels. What have I missed?

[Keith]

Just been on the BBC

"It feels like there is a goal coming, and if it does you expect it to be Morecambe"

Come on lads!

[seasonsinthesun]

Can't be there today, but on the BBC Final Score programme, once again they get their research wrong.
The presenter said that Morecambe have made the 3rd Round just once, "way back in 1962"
Have they not heard of 2001 and 2003 versus Ipswich??

[Aspers]

Cmon Morecambe, can't listen but reading this thread

[Keith]

BBC say: "Very much all Morecambe at the moment but they do have that awful home record and you wonder if, the longer they don't score, nerves may set in"

[Little Shrimp]

Managed to source at a live stream to watch the game on...we're battering them! Barkhuizen is giving them an absolute nightmare, Rose and Murphy have been excellent so far and Stockton has put in a good shift. Nothing to really remark on in terms of our defence!

A few decent chances but really should be one up with Wildig having one cleared off the line at the end of the half that he should have buried. Very positive but the lacking of a goal is a slight worry, hopefully we can keep up the momentum and keep pushing them in the second half!

[Abu Dhabi Shrimp]

Just got in from work. Have I missed anything?

[Keith]

Managed to source at a live stream to watch the game on...

Which one? Mine keeps stopping

BBC "The changes made at half time are working, Coventry very much in the ascendancy now". Jim needs a plan 'B' now rather than when we concede.

[Keith]

GET IN!!!

1-0

Sounds like a great game

[Dan.Campbell]

Keith, you can watch the game live on bet365's website. Not sure if you have to put a bet on the game but I don't think so.

I'm watching on there now, it's really good quality too.

[Keith]

Damn 1-1

Tried that one, it said "This stream will start shortly before the start of the event"

[Keith]

Sounds like a cracking game. Shame we couldn't win but it was a good home performance, which probably mattered more than the result.

When's the replay?

[Seasider9601]

Back home and thawing out slowly.

Superb game! Can't believe how quick it went by....

Brilliant performance by the whole team - unlucky not to get the win.

Referee. Questionable. Again.

See you ALL on Wednesday v Bradford. #NoBoycott #BeThere

[scalehallshrimp]

well done excellent performance should have been wrapped up by halftime,thought they were poor as was the appalling ref
really encouraged by that,shame barkers missed that difficult header which came to him at pace in the last bit of the game

They did a feature about us on Match of the Day for the home tie, so you'd expect them to remember!

[fulwoodshrimp]

A much improved performance but we have to start taking our chances- we could have been 2-0 up at half time. Barkhuizen looked quality throughout the game and troubled the Coventry defence. Am I alone in being disappointed at the number of goals we concede from distance?

[John L]

Coventry's match report shows attendance as 1,742 incl. 546 Sky Blues:

[RedRedWine]

Could somebody please explain to me: Mullin won a header knocking it passed both the onrushing Coventry keeper and a covering Coventry defender, both clatter into him.... we don't get a freekick let alone a Coventry player sent off for denying a clear goal scoring opportunity?

[fulwoodshrimp]

Thought the officials were very poor today. How often do we say that? It's obvious that the present way of selecting and training referees isn't working properly and needs a new approach.

Sh*t ref - end of.

Also noticed their player didn't have to leave the pitch after receiving treatment, does he not need to if it's deemed there wasn't a foul?

On another occasion one of their players left the pitch after receiving treatment only for the ref to wave him back on before the ball was back in play.

Noticed from Quinny's programme that it was the same ref today as the inaugural match at the Globe when we beat Cov, so he's been around for a while!
