Cardiff City 2009-2010 season

Phew. McFail nearly screwed that up for us but we held on to our lead despite being a man down.
 
I may have been a bit harsh on McFail. My man on the scene reports that it was a 50/50 challenge and it was rather harsh of the ref to reach for a straight red.
 
A licence hitch with Cardiff City's shirt sponsorship with a gambling company saw the club remove the logo from the kit for Wednesday's match.

The club recently secured a deal with 777ball and carried the name on the team's home shirt for the first time against Newcastle on Sunday.

But following advice from the Gambling Commission, Cardiff removed the logo and wore plain away shirts at Reading.

City were told 777ball needed to obtain a licence to advertise in Europe.

Message from Vince 'supporters club' Alm

We have received information from the West Midlands Police that the two pubs that were going to accept away fans have now been instructed not to open on the evening of this fixture.

We have been informed that no pubs will be open in the vicinity of the ground.

Also there will not be alcohol on sale in the away end at Villa Park. (This is standard practice for Villa Park.)

We appreciate this must be frustrating and we have expressed are thoughts on the matter.

But there will be no Alcohol on sale at or near Villa Park.

E2A
coaches to be at junction 6 m6 by 615pm and be escorted to coach park at ground and those going by car need to be aware an area of mile around the ground is closed to all traffic an hour before ko

Please can the Coaches that intend to refresh somewhere on route please inform us of their intentions to ensure the event is as smooth as possible.

Please can this message by spread.

I really don't want to talk about it. Amazed how people got on Solomon's back. Him, Burke and Magennis seemed to be the only ones really trying.
 
i think we were lucky to get nil :mad:

some players on that pitch that really did not look like they were interested.

Ledley looked like we would be lucky if anyone wanted him on a free transfer.

Burke, yet again like a work horse :), Boothroyd, yet again like a cart horse :hmm:.
 
Rae has to start in future, couldnt believe Solomon was the one taken off, should have been Ledley who should be given a month on the bench to kick his arse. Burke didnt stop, Magennis is like a wind up toy. Bothroyd should have gone off earlier too. Disillusioned aint the word.:(:mad::confused: Kennedy once again had Routledge in his pocket, no song and dance just gets on with it. Hope the two Mc's are back soon.

Ross wanted to go cos he did not like the idea of sitting on the bench .... i dont think that is going to be a problem when he is back
 
Looks like I better get myself down to the Derby game on the 29th. Saw the first two master classes and missed the last two screw-ups.

Just finished reading DJ's book. What a fucking nightmare he had. Only five or six typos too ;)

Pretty spot on, although how you managed to write all that without bursting into tears i will never know (perhaps you did)

Vince Alm has posted on another board that the crowd was actually less than announced cos they counted all the season ticket holders, but apparently 3,000 of them did not turn up yesterday, which means it was only a 17,000 crowd! (i tend to believe things he says)

On the subject of the stadium, i had to collect an extra ticket for my daughter yesterday.... now after spending millions of squids on a new ground, why on earth do they still have little plastic portacabins outside for ticket collections and match day sales? was it really that difficult to incorporate them into the bricks and mortar stadium?

Noticed Vince's comments - had always been under the naive impression that when crowd attendances were announced that was the number of people in the crowd!
 
from bbc

Manchester City boss Mark Hughes has defended Craig Bellamy after an altercation between his striker and a supporter at Old Trafford.

The Welshman clashed with a spectator following United's 4-3 derby victory.

Hughes also confirmed substitute Javier Garrido was struck by a coin thrown from the home section of the stadium at half-time.

I wonder if this will be talked about for years to come the way the coin throwing and the cardiff / jacks derby is cited as evidence of us being animals :confused:

I am just going to treat it as a day on the piss and a visit to a ground i have not been to before, it could be a long depressing journey otherwise.

I predict either a remarkable performance and an act of unexpected giant killing, or an incredibly humiliating hammering. My money is on the latter.

I can't go now due to work commitments. I'm kind of relieved. :hmm:
 
I'm not going. It's hard too travel away to support your team when you want them to lose. Glamour league ties hurt our league progress. They always have.

We'd have been promoted last year if we'd lost to the Arse at home. I'm pretty sure of that.
