Cardiff City 2008-09

[editor]

Fuck. fuck fuck fuck.

 

[agricola]

The ref has clearly been told by the authorities that this game will be finishing in a draw.

 

[editor]

Unbelievable. It's 2-2!

 

[Threshers_Flail]

Happy with the point, couldn't lose the last ever Ninian Park derby, a dent in the Jacks promotion bid as well.

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

Well, a fantastic game for a change. And whilst our hopes of automatic promotion seem to have gone now, so have the Jacks chances of realistically reaching the play offs, so it's not all bad.

went to watch second half in pub
fucksake! was shit imo
possibly lucky to get the draw on that performance

Really?

I thought that apart from the opening 20 min, when we were on the ropes, Cardiff were far superior. How we didn't score in the first half is a mystery and we had plenty of opportunities in the 2nd half.

The Allen goal came out of nowhere and the Jacks didn't deserve it, so I was especially delighted to see the softest penalty award for many a year given our way.

didn't see first half
yes we were superior but kept fucking up, i think there was a stat flashed up that said Cardiff 16 attempts 5 on target and swansea 5 or 6 attempts and 5t on target! iirc apols if not.

yes it was a soft penalty and we wos lucky as i said

 

[poisondwarf]

We watched this in a pub in Laugharne with a load of Swansea supporters and had some good natured banter with them. Mind you, if we were male I don't think they would have been so kind!

If we had lost that it would have been a travesty.

 

[1927]

I'm well pissed off, took photo of penalty, clicked at perfect moment allowing for considerable shutter lag(ie before McCormack even hit ball) and some twat stood up in front of me!!

I beleive this is the penalty bthat broke the record for most penalties in a season ever!! Still think we should have had one earlier tho when Bothroyd was takenm out in the box.

 

[Biffo]

I have a sunburnt forehead from standing on the bob bank today

 

[Buds]

We was robbed!

The ref must've been seeing double to award that pen.

Clearly pushed him off the ball, thats the rub mate.

Makes up for the one we didnt get!!

 

[spacemonkey]

I'm gonna miss Ninian, the Grange End was ace today.

I saw a replay on Sky. Smashes him off the ball with elbow raised too. It was so clearly a pen.

2 things.

Comparing events today with recent events at NP.

How come Swansea defender, Williams(?), didnt get sent off when clearly raised his elbow. Gyepes got sent off for less and McCormack's alleged offence for his sending off.

When the second Swansea goal was scored the scorere goes into crowd to celebrate, didnt we have a player booked for this exact thing a few weeks ago.

I am all for the Respect campaign, but we need consistency from refs.

 

[Gromit]

The Jack was booked for the celebration mate.

 

[1927]

The Jack was booked for the celebration mate.

Ok thanks, see they had one of their UNUSED subs sent off after the whistle too. Ran on pitch and gave the ref abuse!!

 

[badlands]

Is Tate the jacks left back?

McNaughton left him for dead for the goal.

Really cant understand why DJ is persevering with Parry. (who never left Tate for dead the whole match) Parry just doesn't deliver. Are Quincy and Burke both injured or what?

We had a settled and balanced team for a while and now it seems its square pegs in round holes.

Also, why has Rae been dropped for CrapPhail?

We should still get in the play offs but we ain't bouncing are we.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

slightly surprised that the ref getting a coin in the bonce seems to hardly elicit a mention here. he was very controlled and in charge and i thought that was a bit tight to be chucking coinage at him tbf, fair result all told altho i thought the swans maybe shaded it tbh, you lot were a bit lucky, ah well

The fucking moron who lobbed the coin has been identified, arrested and banned from Cardiff City's ground for life. Hopefully, they'll sling some criminal charges at him too.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

well fucking good cos it was a stain on what was otherwise a quite absorbing contest.

 

[DRINK?]

One c*nt ruing it for the majority saying that the arrested bloke had not been charged last I heard...

What I don't understand is what do you ever have to gain by this....you must be proper f*cking thick....

 

[Gromit]

The guy was an idiot on so many levels.

1. Makes our club look bad cause of the actions of a minority
2. They will get caught - The ground is covered by cameras
3. It won't make the ref give us decisions
4. In fact its more likely to make the ref give decisons against us
5. The club will get punished. At best a small fine. At worst we could lose points and our playoff place.

Banning for life isn't harsh enough. Can we tattoo twat on his head or something else too please?

 

[Gromit]

Just read Alan Tate bragging that he wasn't at all phased by the hostile crowd.

Was I watching a different match?

I heard many people exclaiming that we must be getting to him when he started fluffling balls all over the place.

I don't think that a load of overweight, middle aged men in their best Aquascutum jumpers calling Tatey a jack bastard or a wanker was ever going to affect his game considering that he gets called a jack bastard week in week out by our fans.

Tate isn't one of the most technically gifted players in the Swansea squad and has been playing out of position, add to that the poor surface which was never going to suit our passing game it was inevitable that he was going to fluff some passes.

 

[William of Walworth]

I picked up on the news of the arrest and ban quite late, long after the game. But obviously it's good news.

You serious? Our pitch is brill. Yours is the one letting Adam Jones trot about in every other week.

 

[Gromit]

No shit.

He is quoted as saying that he felt he played well.

Seriously if he was playing for Cardiff and thought that performance was playing well I'd be seriously worried.
The rest of your squad played well. I will admit that. He didn't by any stretch of the imagination.
