Cardiff City 2008-09

City bossed the game for the first half hour but not taking one of those chances was critical. I was waiting for Arsenal to score 2nd half but it never came. It was the right result overall. Good atmosphere apart from a shocking lack of noise from travelling gooners. The City support at Anfield last season was fantastic and the Arsenal support at Ninian today was shite. Might take a trip to the library for the replay for a laugh.
Disappointed Ramsay was getting booed but glad he got an ovation when he went off. Nice little Ayatollah from him too

Just got home, having spent 2 hrs trying to gte there thanx to public transport!
Had a great day with beers with Rubber Buccaneer.
Great result, could have won, best clear cut chnces. Defo penalty imho.
Wouldnt swap Ledley for Ramsay!!
Police were disgraceful, will elaborate when I have more time and am more sober, but they were at fault today for the trouble, I was right in the middle of it and they were fuckin useless!

Cardiff missed too many sitters from what I saw...well not sitters though should have been hitting the target, felt at the end they were hanging on and were lucky to get the away leg....can see the arse sticking a couple on them in the return leg...proper cup game mind

City should have made more of their chances, story of the season though.
First I have heard of any trouble.

Neither side were in any rush to leave their seat as it was like a full house and an enjoyable buzz after a good match.
Police and tanoy (warnings about we have you on CCTV etc.) started hassling people to leave. Not sure what the great big rush was for.
At that point i thought it best to go. Despite the fact that usually I'd still be there talking to the family behind me whilst the crowds went down.

The police at the Grange End, and the Grange end of the BB terrace only had eyes for city, and were filiming us and paid no attention to Arsenal. There wasn't any trouble for most of the game but it started to get nasty towrds the end of the game. There were two clearly identifiable ring leaders in the Grange End and there was a Swansea contingent in there winding things up, Swansea fkags were waved along with some loyalist flags and although these inflemed the situation the police ignored it although they must have been aware that is was inflaming what could always have been a fiery situation. Coins started flying after the final whistle, again snatch squads were snet into the Cardiff end , but the Grange End was left untouched, again the two ringleaders were to the fore, but nothing was done despite some sensible fans going up to the police and pointing out that if the two of them were removed the whole situtaion would be calmed, instead the police were more content with pushing city fans back and worsening the situation.
Why were Arseanl allowed to leave right on 90mins without having to wait for us to leave first? especially considering that the Cardiff fans leaving via the emrgency exit that they put in for the game were then put right in the path of Arsenal fans on Sloper Road.
Unbelievably the police approached the Swansea fan who was aggravating teh situation and literally put an arm round his shoulders and were laughuing and joking with him before shaking his hand and pointing him in the direction fo the exit. Did they not think that this might not look too good to the Cardiff fans and likely to make matters worse?
It was obvious that the police had already written the story yesterday and went into NP with a preconceived idea that WE would be the trouble makers!

So you've never as an away fan been asked to remain in the stadium while its cleared of home supporters?
These two spent a good 5 minutes filming Blocks A and B in the Grandstand.
As for the pic in the Echo, were you near a blue dragon flag on the Bob Bank? If so the pic is on page 6.

It's their special way of needlessly winding up the crowd. Cunts.
