Cardiff City 2008-09

[1927]

Cardiff fan banned for 3 years for throwing gum

I think what all that means is...

Everyone thinks he threw a coin, but he will only admit to throwing gum. so they charge him with throwing missile unknown, he pleads guilty, he gets sentence equal to waht he would have got if he had thrown coin. Result!

 

[badlands]

C'mon Burnley!!!!!!!!!!

 

[badlands]

Burnley win 1-0.

A win tomorrow, brum to lose to Preston on Sat, we demolish Ipswich, the jacks beat sheff u and we're in business.

Then Hillsboro woudl be back on!!

Now make your mind up.... i can see your kids stood by the door with a bucket and spade, with a sad look on thier faces, wondering if they are going on holiday or not.

 

[Clint Iguana]

Can anyone get me a ticket for the 25th?

And who's going to the Charlton game?

Chaeck ya PMs again son... London bound now so wont be coming back here before the game.

Fucking hell. What's happening? We were walking all over them for the first 20 mins and then fell apart.

Once their fans woke up, there's been some good banter. Nice ground too.

Come on you Bluebirds FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!

 

[Greenfish]

MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

isit.

 

[Greenfish]

wobbleyou.

 

[ddraig]

bloody hell!
errr phew

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

This was never going to be an easy game.

So, after Saturday, mustn't grumble.

 

[editor]

Phew! That was a fantastic last 10 minutes.

If only we'd played with that level of passion from the start, we would have whipped 'em, but I'm not complaining at the score. Charlton gave us a good game tonight.

I think I've lost my voice from all the shouting

 

[Biffo]

Vital point. Well done City. One point away from being three games away from the Premier League. How good does that sound?

 

[Biffo]

Sky Sports News reported tonight's Championship headlines as:

'Cardiff's hopes of automatic promotion have all but gone.'

Whereas...

'Reading all but secure a play off place and give themselves an outside chance of automatic promotion.'

Ok Reading have a better goal difference but level on points indicates a degree of parity which simply wasn't represented in the reporting. In reality neither team have a chance of an automatic place but are pretty nailed on for the play-offs.

Preston and Swansea won't win on Saturday anyway. City to beat Reading in the play-off semis. Prediction for headlines on SSN following a 4-3 aggregate win to City:

'Cardiff scrape through to play-off final.'

'Gallant Reading so close to play-off glory.'

Fuck 'em.

Reading have Birmingham in their final game and the best GD in the league.If Preston beat Birmingham on Saturday and Sheff Utd don't win then our destiny will be pretty much in our own hands.

 

[Onket]

Anyone seen the Cardiff v Swansea article in this month's FourFourTwo?

 

[Gromit]

I said before the match that I'd be happy with a draw providing we beat Ipswich.

Let's hope the football gods honour the deal.

 

[badlands]

In 2003 DJ got Wolves promoted via the playoffs beating Reading 3-1 in the semi and thumping Sheff U 3-0 in the final.

(And a certain Mark Kennedy scored in the final)

It's just going to be a bit of history repeating itself, innit?

 

[William of Walworth]

Anyone seen the Cardiff v Swansea article in this month's FourFourTwo?

No. Gist?

Swansea and Preston are all but out of the playoff chances now, following Burnley's win on Monday and Reading's last night.

Don't write off Swansea's chances of beating Shefield United away on Saturday altogether -- not likely, but not impossible either. Still if Burley win too, that side issue will be mathematical only.

Whatever, I can't see Cardiff being anything other than dead certs for a playoff place.

Was Charlton playing well against them last night a dead cat bounce thing? Post relegation teams so often manage it.

He certainly did, i wonder what odds you could get on that happening again?

BTW Kennedy's goal was a rocket!

Once their fans woke up, there's been some good banter.

Best from them "We're going to win six nil"

Best from us "We're going to Wembley, your going to Shrewsbury". That one had the marshals in the grounds and the cops at the train station laughing.

It was great to see how good natured it all was.

We are so going up

 

[editor]

When we went 1-0 down, the Charlton fans sang, "Premiership, you're having a laugh", to which the City fans promptly retorted: "Championship, you're having a laugh".

 

[phildwyer]

Pish, *this* is a rocket. I was on the Bob Bank when Buchanan lined his shot up, and in the Grange End by the time celebrations were finished. Check out the copper celebrating behind the goal too....

I think my favourite was after the second call over the tannoy for the head of cleaning to report to the main office.. "She's sweeping somewhere else, an now you gonna belive us!" .... ad lib par excellence.

On a more serious note.... Burke to start, Parry on bench... he just aint trying.
