Cardiff City 2008-09

Chopra hatrick methinks.

Oh the irony.. the sweet revenge that would be. Buy a player for £5 million, loan him back then have him stuff your next team.

I think the next hattrick is coming from those pink boots of Eddie though.

Yorkshire plod shitting themselves

Supporters trust response.....

Having being asked by the South Wales Echo for the comment, the following statement has this afternoon been issued by the Trust and has been sent to the Star:

Paul Corkrey, acting Chairman of the Cardiff City Supporters' Trust, said: "I'm really disappointed at the way in which South Yorkshire Police are proposing to handle next week's match against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.

"We believe Cardiff City fans are being treated unfairly by comparison to supporters of other football clubs.

"When Cardiff City fans went to London for the FA Cup Semi-Finals and Final last year, they were greeted by police in short-sleeve shirts with smiles and there was no trouble.

"The police in Yorkshire seem to be going into this game with the mindset that trouble is inevitable. For the last match of the season, many Cardiff City fans traditionally don fancy dress, so we are now facing the prospect of supporters dressed up as nuns, vicars and giraffes being greeted by an army of police in riot gear.

"In my view, the South Yorkshire Police should be operating low profile policing but with enough resources in the background to cope in the event of potential problems. They could learn a lot from how the Metropolitan Police handled Cardiff's games at Wembley last season."

Yorkshire plod shitting themselves

It's like G20 all over again. Cops hype up the prospect of trouble, media get excited, pumped up cops get heavy handed, a few pissed off fans react and - bingo - FOOTBALL HOOLIGANS GO ON RAMPAGE!!!!

Romilly's a good bet - family friendly, decent food, and in the unlikely event of a weather forecast-defying burst of sunshine, a half-tidy beer garden!

Good response. But i don't remember seeing many bobbies in shorts sleeves!

On the pitch tomorrow? NOOOOOO..

post match events... should be emotional

 

[Clint Iguana]

Tickets for sheffiled go on sale monday, 18 squid for grown ups.

Voucher system.... which is not quite a bubble, but means fans will have to meet at an RV point.

not sure if there will be any qualification thing for buying them

Is this definate? Living in Yorkshire already, i really don't want to have to go down to Leicester Forest East services to get me tickets!

 

[badlands]

Is it going to be re-released?

Brilliant seeing The Riddler loving it.


To everyone lucky enough to go tomorrow,

I envy you

my heart aches,

tears will flow as

I remember my great grampy, my grampy and my dad all worshipping a little piece of land just off Sloper Road.

It's been emotional

Good luck boys.

[badlands]

C'mon brum then

That would be a travesty to the Old Lady if that was the last match.

 

[editor]

WTF. OMG. Non LOL. Etc.

 

[1927]

The last game summed up supporting cardiff in a nutshell really.

Well beaten by a crap side who we should have battered. A city performance that flattered to deceive, the bob bankers got a soaking and Paul Parry was crap!!

 

[Bomber]

Ooops!

 

[badlands]

Fucking hell.

Fuck.

Fuck.

 

[JTG]

PNE won then

 

[Gromit]

Gah. Down to the wire. Why am I'm not optimistic based on today's performance.

 

[1927]

Its a pity that it wasnt all decided today as we seriously need to rest a few guys out there today. Playing two games a week for the apst 2 months has taken its toll and we are looking a shadow of the team of very recently.

Thought Burke was the one shining light today and he has to start instead of Parry with Whitts. Parry is looking very poor and just not at the races. Few headless chickens there today and we need someone to stand up and be counted right now, a Kavanagh sort of performance is required by someone, a little general type of game. Today there were a few expamples of players standing with the ball looking for someone to take it one and noone was putting their hand up!
