Cardiff City 2008-09

[Balbi]

Should begin with a J, should it not?

 

[1927]

Ross McCormack scores his first goal for Scotland!!!

 

[William of Walworth]

OK, any realistic predictions from Cardiff fans about the likely score against the Jacks on Sunday??

(feel free to post your fantasy-hope based score predictions as well )

Debbie's a Swans fan and I'm a sympathiser**, we'll be heading for a very rare pub in Swansea that's open at 11 AND has Sky

**I've nothing particular against Cardiff though, peace and that!

But I'm very pessimistic, Swansea have been pretty goalshy of late and seem to have gone off the boil with two recent defeats and a 0-0 at Hillsborough.

1-1 at most. Most likely 2-1 to Cardiff I'd say.

Others?

 

[JTG]

I'm hoping for a meeting of such nastiness that both clubs will be instantly thrown out of the league and forced to play in the League of Wales for ever and ever

0-0 then?

 

[JTG]

0-0 then?

I dunno, I try and avoid thinking about either of them. I spose I should hope Cardiff keep the c*ty out of the play off places though so home win.

I don't have that luxury as I live within 10 mins walk of the Liberty and in the house of a Swans fan ... (not that hardcore though, tbf, we've only been to 2 matches this season).

It's a home banker I'd have thought

Unless Cardiff get a Sheffield Utd-match type ref ....

 

[Clint Iguana]

Any of you 'ex-pat' urbanite city fans coming home for the local derby?

 

[Gromit]

We've had an International break. Both teams will be rusty. It won't be pretty. I don't know who the ref will be this time and how sensible (or not) they'll be.

My heart wants us to thump them 3-0 but I think a 1-0 is more likely to be on the cards. This is fortress Ninian and the crowd should win it for us.

 

[Gromit]

Scratch that. I just realized that Gabor is out and Purse likely to be in.

1-1 draw. Which is shit cause we need to win this one to level out the derby season.

Premier League referee Mike Dean will officiate the match at Ninian Park.

One or two of our players have been keeping thier hand in during the international break, Cardiff's McCormack scoring for Scotland and Swansea's Williams scoring for Germany

 

[Gromit]

Premier league ref. Words that inspire terror in me.

We have a history of Prem league refs turning up and being bloody dreadful.

[Gromit]

Fingers crossed.

Warren Feeney scored 2 and got benched by Dundee for todays game. he was on within 4 minutes tho. hasn't helped tho, they're 0-2 down and have missed a pen!!

[rapattaque]

(City 2 Town 0)

 

[phildwyer]

0-0.

I really hope we both go up. Or I would if the prospect of a play-off final against them weren't so nice.

 

[phildwyer]

I put that down to anti-Welsh bias though, which doesn't apply in this case.

 

[Clint Iguana]

Papers indicating canton will be dry before the game... although word around the camp fire is that there will be a few watering holes available if you know where to look

Absolutely bloody ridiculous. So the police think its a good idea to persuade licensees to remain closed to stop trouble between fans. Mmm let me think on this one. Canton is going to be full of fans looking for a drink, when they can't find one they are going to head to the ground where there will be rival fans. I think this is a ploy by the police to stir up trouble and justify their presence and the huge costs of policing the club have to pay, aftre all if there's no trouble where will the overtime come from next season. I think it would have been far wiser to have all the Cardiff fans holed up in boozers in canton than roaming the streets.

 

[Biffo]

4 hours til kick off. Time to get up, feed the kids, drop them with the baby sitter and pile down to Ninian for a pleasant Sunday morning bout of soccerball. Come on City

 

[badlands]

Mcphail and Parry start, Quincy not even on bench.

 

[editor]

Games don't get any bigger than this one! Wish I was there. Come on you Bluebirds!

 

[ddraig]

aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgh!
first blood to the jacks

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

They could've had 3 already.

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

That's better.

C'mon Cardiff

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

The ref's been hit in the head by a coin.

Repercussions here.

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

Heh-he. Walked in!

Take that, Jacks!

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

Despair.

eta...Hang on. Penalty!

ETA again. Scored 2-2! 90th min penalty to the rescue.
