calls on there for Jones to go tonight
What's new. Those of us who have been supporting since before the cup final are loving this top half if the championship stuff. These newbies can fuck off, they wont be around if we ever go back to playing Port Vale, so they dont have a right to say anything imho.

Would that be the 'trick' of playing the kind of attractive attacking football that means a lot of play goes on in the opponent's penalty area?The results have not been going your way too much since the ref's wised up to your ol' penalty trick.
Perhaps your team should learn that trick.
Well the stats speak for themselves really.
No penalties awarded recently, a barren run. Does this mean you've stopped playing "attractive attacking football" ?

At least you're still second in the league

Thought they were third?
Not in the disciplinary league (see link above)
Although tbf, I imagine now that referee's have cottoned onto their dishonest penalty claims, they're probably receiving a lot more yellow cards for diving in the box etc

Attractive football
If only that was the table you owuld have a point, that is a list filtereed by number of red cards and is nit the official discipline table which awards 1 point for a yeloow and two for a red, by that reckoning we are well down the table.
In answer to your earlier question, yes we have stopped playing "attractive attacking football" I expect penalties to come again when normal service is resumed.
You will not that Quinn picked up a yellow card yesterday, what heinous crim edid he commit to warrant sucha sanction? He tackled a player and perfectly legally took the ball off him, dirty bastard!

Feel free to give any examples of city players diving in the box, if you cant then stop talking bollox

I don't need to, it's common knowledge up and down the country amongst journalists and supporters of clubs that have fallen victim to such shameful, unsportsmanlike behaviour.
Jay Bothroyd has a worse reputation than Drogba for going down like he's been shot, only to get straight back up again as soon as he's conned the referee into giving a foul.

The stats show that Cardiff play attacking football and opponents have to resort to fouls to stop us.
The bit that seems to have escaped you is that to get a penalty you have to be in the opponent's penalty box in the first place.
Oh, and still waiting for some examples of these 'dives'.

A tough game. Barnsley had their chances. Ref was terrible. Bald linesman too. How do you give sn offside when the player is in their own half and the last defender in their own half. 
Just driving back now. Bloody roadworks. 50 mph limits for what seems like 95% of the journey.

Bizarre, I am aware of the rulles of the game and I've never suggested anything to the contrary.
I really don't know what your point is there ?
You'll be waiting a long time then if you think I'm going to waste time scouring through hours of endless footage, match reports etc just to prove a point to someone on the internet.
A point that is already common knowledge throughout the football league
(if you get five mins check out the forums of pretty much any club and see what they think about Cardiff City) Cardiff now have a bad reputation for this unsportsmanlike behaviour whether you like it or not. Maybe the fans should just learn to embrace it, and use it as a tactic to goad and wind up rival supporters.

You just can't beat the eye rolling defense, there is just no way around it.
If you can't get round the defense just dive then. That's what we do.

See Cardiff fans, how easy that was ?
You'll feel so less bitter by embracing the bad rep and using it to your advantage.

I would have thought that if it were common knowledge and it was all over the internet, you would not have to do a great deal of scouring.
Watching city regulalry (more regulalrly than people posting on other club message boards) i am aware of most of cardiff's failings, but unsportsman like behaviour is not one that i have noticed in abundance.
Being the highest scorers in the division, no doubt other message boads are full of people angry that we have scored against them and are looking for excuses. EDIT.... in the words of Roy keane... "get over it"
Me thinx you be talking through your arse again.
