City team not safe in Swansea.... what is the world coming to? Surely they have loads of away teams come to town, they should be able to deal with this.

I can't but help think that the police obsessions with this fixture only helps to glamourise it and heightens the tension between the 2 sets of supporters. By this ridiculous request to the Cardiff team not to trvake the day before game they have only worsened the situation and in the pervers world of football hooilganism will have handed Tanky and the boys a victory a week before the game. If the police dont think that the Swansea fans will use the fact that they stopped the team travelling as something to boats about then they are more naiive than I am.
 
Biffo, did you wear different socks or underwear?

We bossed it for every minute from 15 mins to 85.

Why the fuck didn't McCormack come on for the last 20 mins?

If we're going up we have to win these games.

Them trying to get Whittingham sent off was fucking awful.

I don't. We don't play too well with the tag of leaders and being top makes us a bigger target, the Jacks would get a massive buzz knocking us off the top and would only serve to get them going a bit more!

I didn't buy a programme this time. That's where it went wrong. :(

Gutted. Diving time-wasting scabby bastards.

That was some of the fastest, exciting football we've seen played at the new stadium. By both sides. I don't begrudge forest a point. They earned it.

I didn't want to be top of the league either as our lads all too easily become complacent at the top. I want us to stay hungry.

All that aside it's still annoying to drop 2 points due to a tired team (well it was a really fast tempo game) when we still had two subs left. Gypes and Mac should have come on. Boothroyd was dead on his feet at the end. Dave Jones lost that match not the players.
 
Bring on the Jacks!

0-3 to us. Rosco scores two.

I'll be in the middle of a 78.6 mile race on the Pembrokeshire Coast during the match and I’m off down to St David’s later today to prepare for it, but i have every intention of slowing myself down on Saturday lunchtime with some sort of radio to listen to it. And I’ll be whipping the earphones out when we score too, as I’m sure I’ll be able to hear us celebrating from the far side of St Brides bay!
 
I know its tradition to say these things after the match and not before but why wait?

1. The ref was rubbish!
2. That was never a penalty!! Diving bastard swans and the ref knew it.
3. He should be shot for giving us that red card.
4. How much did Swansea pay him?
 
The more I think about it the more I think Chopra deliberately sought his 5th yellow.

He was going to have to sit a game out sooner or later and as Cardiff see him as a key asset I wonder if they were scared that Swansea might try and nobble him for some of the season with injury causing tackles. Or whether his firey temperment might have landed him a straight red in such a heated match where I'm sure he'd have been baited.

Is this a match we are prepared to write off to protect our best players. Is that why all these sudden injuries?!

The tackle that got chops suspended was a good tackle, if your theory was correct he must have had the ref on board as well

With Chops and Bothroyd both on yellows I would certainly agree that there may have been some discusiion that we couldnt afford to have them both pick up yellows in the same game. therefore it is conceivable that we sacrificed Chops for the Jack game. Dont be surprised if Jay picks up a card tomorrow so he sits out the Barnsley game, when Chops will return, but they will both have served their bans before the big games coming up.
 
Interesting point someone jusr made oin another board, and one which highlights the ridiculous state of affairs and unjustness of the law in realtion to football fans.

Today's game against the Jacks and as such all Cardiff fans are tarvelling to and from the game in convoy under Police escort. However, after the game, when the Cardiff fans are still under Police control there will be no restrictions of any sort on Swansea fans travelling to cardiff to watch the rugby, as I'm sure some of them will. Which brings up an interesting question, at what moment does a footaball supporter become a rugby supporter for the purposes of defining which laws he is in fact subject to on a day when both rugby and football matches are taking place. Furthermore, will Swansea football supporters become rugby supporters before Cardiff supporters?

Can't decdie where I am going to watch match want some atmosphere but don't wanna go anywhere near town today!
 
I suppose the Cardiff lot should be cheered by the fact its only 2-0, it could easily be more than that.

edit: though now its 2-1
