Cardiff City 2008-09

Shame we couldn't take home a win, but an away draw against the (guffaw) "underdogs" of league leaders Wolves ain't bad at all.
 
Not the most auspicious of starts for the new boy. :(

A draw away to the top of the table is still a good result.

It was a massive cock up, but fair play he made a few good saves in the first half.... nothing for him to worry about really in second half, if he had not scored for them, they were never going to do it themselves!
 
Mick admits its a four horse race.

"McCarthy was keen to stress that although the tension was building at Molineux as the race for promotion hots up, it is no different anywhere else.

"It's never easy, there's frustrations all around the league, it's no different here," he added.

"Dave (Jones) has got it down there, Steve Coppell's got it down there at Reading and Alex McLeish has got it at Birmingham.

"There's two scenarios here. It's an anagram isn't it? If I get promoted I'm a god and if we don't I'm a dog."

woof woof

:D
 
Badlands you misquoted McCarthy there, I saw him being interviewed and he was talking about everybody having a bit of a bad spell and he said, quoted in full.

Dave Jones has got it down there (at Cardiff), Steve Coppell's got it down there at Reading and Alex McLeish has got it at Birmingham.

Now Mick, you may have had a bit of a shit spell, so have Brum and Reading. Sorry to disappoint you, but the Bluebird wagon still has all four wheels on and continues to roll along to a Premier league near you soon!!!:D
 
QPR tomorrow. I'm predicting a far from warm reception for Routledge. No complaints from me but I know others are bitter.

I hope Quincy makes it on. I want to see what he's got.
 
the supporters club will be having a bucket collection outside ninian park tomorrow for merthyr tydfil fc (that is chuck money in a bucket, not actually collecting buckets) :cool:
 
What a fucking shite game. Good job Routledge was playing for QPR or it would have been really dire. Least the abuse he got was vaguely amusing. Great race between him and Quincy near the end

Most rotund linesman I've ever seen over on the grandstand side of the pitch.

Another 2 points dropped but up to 4th. Not bad but could be better.
 
It's amazing how I feel a tad disappointed as a result of City continuing an incredible unbeaten run, moving up into the play off zone in front of another bumper crowd!

The continuous grief the crowd gave routlidge undoubtedly took the edge off the frustration. It was good to note that even though he was booed every time he touched the ball, there was not much booing (cos he did not have the ball much)

Should have had at least two penalties, lots of physicality going on in the box but ref seemed to be looking other way.

We had several sitters, but shots went wide/high everytime... needs to be sorted and sorted quick.
 
Considering the fact the ref let them man handle us all over the pitch i thought City did brilliantly.

What normally happens is that Purse gets frustrated by it. Makes one naughty tackle which compared to the shit we've received is fuck all but the ref gives him a red. Then we get done over due to the man down.

Instead the guys kept their heads and we avoided dangerous bookings.

How the hell did QPR get away with so many late, off the ball clatters against our players? Rumour has it that Purse was clattered into in the dressing room and Parry will be bundled into by a QPR player sometime tomorrow.

At one stage a QPR player was holding hands with Burke for so long that 5 seconds longer and they'd have been going steady.

I was thinking this dcriving home, isn't it a measure on the club that we have become that we should feel that way?

That ref wasn't going to give us anhthing last night. After the first booking he lost his yellow card, as the very next tackle saw McNaughton kicked up in the air and his substitition.

Thought Kennedy was immense, not sure how many years he has on Greedy Bastard, but he had him in his pocket all night.
