Cardiff City 2008-09

That twat in the Borat swimsuit having his picture taken and acting the cock.:mad:

Eddie fucking Johnson!:mad:

Linesman's punchy smug face with 5 min to go.:mad:
 
Ledley getting booked and then ignoring copy tackle by Jack 30 secs later.:mad:

McPhail getting sent off when he clearly took the ball.:mad:
 
Jacks looked the better side on the night, though, their flukey goal and some dodgy reffing decisions notwithstanding. Thought their Spanish players had had their half time oranges laced with arsenic for all the times they hit the deck and rolled around. A draw would have been fairer, mind.

However: we are woefully lacking in the final quarter of the pitch. Eddie Johnson is shite, McCormack is not the 20-goal-a-season man we so desperately need. We'd better pray for someone to come in on loan or we're looking at mid-table mediocrity, and perhaps another defeat at the hands of our peg selling, western cousins.
 
I'd like to say the the who won didn't matter as the winner was welsh sport.

But welsh sport didn't win. Just a bunch of Spanish cheats. Such is football. :(
 
fucksticks. Eddie fucking Johnson, is he one of those fake footballers that turn up at clubs with fake references.

yeah and the ref and shit. :mad:
 
Well now the disappointment has faded a little I'll be magnaminous a bit in defeat.

Well done fellow welsh club supporters. Enjoy the victory. Enjoy it whilst you can. There are two more hotly contested meetings to go after all. You may have won the battle but the war ain't over yet.

Good luck in the next round.

Defacing the Welsh flag sums up Swansea perfectly. Are there still Union Jacks slapping around the stadium?

Been to any cup finals recently? :D

yes there were plenty of union jacks around. Talking of flags, the corner flags were square, what's that all about then?

Poor lambs. Try as they might, they're still stuck with square flags while those lovely triangular flags have been flapping at Ninian Park for decades.


:D :D :D
 
Only bloody ran into a bunch of Jacks last night, not the most enjoyable chat I've had.

Beat them in the league that's all that matters now. Hopefully I'll be able to get down for the home tie.

I was watching the match at work and my colleague asked what that was all about. I was going to explain the murky circumstances surrounding 'swim away'.... but didn't. Which has resulted in my workmate thinking that the Jacks are all borderline care in the community cases who like to go out in public wearing inflatables.
 
There was an interesting thread about the swim away incident on the Cardiff City Online messageboards a few weeks back posted by a couple of bluebirds who were actually there. The truth appears to be that they waded out to about thigh height as a result of their being pursued by a mob of about 30 Jacks.

At no point did they swim. They just stood there until a fairly large group of Cardiff showed up, and the Jacks dispersed.

Hardly the stuff of legend, is it?

This is it init.

The actual newspaper article, written by some hack goes:

"One fan leaving the East Stand of the Vetch Field said he saw around 100 Swansea supporters pushing past the police to reach small group of Cardiff supporters.

He said: “They seemed hell-bent of getting at them and just pushed past the police. These are fans I’ve normally seen on the North Bank and it appears they’d made their way from there.

“I saw one officer chasing after them with his truncheon at the ready, but they didn’t seem to care. It was frightening to say the least. They seemed really worked up and looking for trouble. Other genuine fans around me looked scared and were heading for home as fast as they could.”

The Evening Post then wrote another eyewitness account of what happened next.

One man who was out walking his dog at around 10:30pm saw about 50 Swansea fans chase around 30 Cardiff supporters onto the beach near Country Hall and into the sea.

He said: “They were up to their chests in the water to get away from. It was quite comical to watch. Eventually, the police managed to get the Swans fans away and the Cardiff fans came out of the sea looking like drowned rats.”

The eye-witness account is from a man from Swansea, at 10.30pm on a seafront in January... The lads on the Cardiff message thread who claim to have been there talk about pebbles whizzing past their heads and not being able to see anything. If they were in the thick of it and couldn't see the Jacks, how on earth did this dog-walker proivde such a good account?! But anyway!

If nothing else, the whole story is interesting just from the perspective of a scrap on a beach in 1988 turning into 16,000 Jacks miming swimming strokes at the Liberty Stadium 20 years later. It's interesting to see how a story takes on a life of it's own eh!
 
The fucking Jack morons were out in force last night:

Fans clash with police at derby

Hundreds of Swansea City football fans clashed with police following Tuesday night's Carling Cup match with Cardiff City at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea.

Stones and other missiles were hurled at police lines as Cardiff fans waited to leave the stadium in buses.

Riot police were deployed outside the stadium. Eight fans were arrested and police are calling for a ban on anyone identified in their investigation.

Lord Kinnock, a Cardiff supporter, said he was "outraged" by the clashes.

Speaking on BBC Radio Wales, the former Labour leader said: "I thought our people had learnt their lesson and it is disgusting, it's appalling and it reflects shame on the clubs.

"I just thought we had got through that as far as the Swans and the Bluebirds were concerned and they have just got to learn that it is not acceptable."

The game, which Swansea won one nil, passed off without trouble but as the crowds left the stadium, Cardiff fans who were confined in a fenced off enclosure hurled stones and debris at the police.

Then the trouble spread across the road where the police were holding back hundreds of Swansea fans to keep the road clear for the Cardiff coaches to come out.

Hundreds of police officers in riot gear kept the home fans clear of the road but missiles including bricks and glass bottles were thrown at Cardiff buses.

Riot police confronted both sets of fans but the worst violence broke out across the road among Swansea fans where the strong police cordon was backed up by dogs and police horses.

Hundreds of chanting Swans fans hurled lumps of concrete, bottles and cans at police.

The only union jack I saw from my seat in the east stand was on the New Zealand Swans flag, all the others I saw were Welsh or Spanish.

Erm, from the quote from the BBC website you posted:

Looks like our morons were the ones who kicked it off.

Unfortunately :(
 
Good game last night. Wrong result. Terrible place to lose this season's unbeaten record. (Watch Liverpool do the same at Everton on Saturday - amazing how City's and LFC's form and results mirror each other).

It was inevitable there was going to be trouble. 8 or 9 years since the last match. When you get 60+ year old guys dressed up in rubber ring piss-taking outfits it speaks volumes for the mentality of a lot of the fans ON BOTH SIDES.

Anyway, the league is more important. Swansea will either lose heavily to Arsenal's youth in the next round or have a moral building win at Sunderland. Or something. Either way they ain't going to Wembley. They just have bragging rights for a month or two til it happens again. I'll take a draw there next time and 3 points at NP in April and a place in the play-offs (and another FA Cup Final.....?)
