Birmingham City Vs. Coventry City: Balloons Were On Pitch, Now They Are Not

There are literally twenty four people in the seats at St. Andrews. I can only assume that this they are there as some sort of punishment. The first ten seconds of the game sees the ball go out for a Coventry goal kick. I wish I was making this up. Eventually, Birmingham pick up the ball, and eventually Nikola Zigic heads wide. Zigic is very tall, and he also couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if it fell on him. Wide headers are what he does. At the other end of the pitch Carl Baker skips through a pair of sleeping Birmingham shirts on the left (I don't blame them) and runs the ball straight to Colin Doyle in the Birmingham goal.

There are at least three and possibly four balloons on the pitch right now. I thought you all should know. Oh, they’re blowing away now. That’s a shame.
