Gutted for rambo. 
Lets hope that Rambo makes a full recovery. The best Welsh player for a generation. Pure class.
Here's my tuppence worth,
its worth noting where it happened on the pitch. Ramsey knicked it away from the oncoming Shawcross. Stoke would have been horribly exposed if Ramsey had gone around Shawcross. Look at the slide Shawcross took. His momentum was that of an express train. Shawcross knew he had to take man and ball to prevent Stoke being exposed at the back. And he did. With horrific consequences.
All the debate about photographs is largely irrelevant. I've watched the VT and Shawcross does go right through him. A photograph shows not a split second but 1/24th of a second. Things are not always what they seem. For Ramsey to break his tibula and fibula without contact seems incredulous to me.

The fact that he is still thought of as 'our Ramsey' speaks volumes.
Many players leave us to go on to 'bigger and better things'. The manner of their leaving varies; Routlidge and Jerome will always be twats in my eyes, no matter how much success they get; but it was nice to see the Ginger Monster playing at Wembley today and as much as I want Nottingham Forest to start losing a few games, it is good to see Earnie has finally found form again. I just had to Google Kav to see where he is now – Cambridge, what a waste.
But no matter what he does, Ramsey will always be a bluebird. No one could begrudge him moving on to Arsenal. From the first time he set foot on the grass at Ninian Park as a sub you could see he was class. Even as a seventeen year old he showed no fear and I remember him going at defences; not faffing about and trying to go around them, but going straight through them like a knife through butter. It was frustrating in the extreme that he did not get more starts for us than he did but it was obvious we would not be able to hang on to him.
I remember watching some European game or other recently where Ramsey came on as a sub and even though he is only nineteen the commentator stated. “We might see a change now; Wenger is brining the big guns on”. I felt an odd sense of pride, even though he is now a Gooner. Perhaps the fact that he is a local lad (i can see his old school from my house) makes it even more personal.
I did not hear about his injury till watching the news late last night. The words “potentially carer threatening injury” almost brought a tear to my eye. I can’t imagine feeling like that for any of our current squad, let along someone that has gone to play for another team. The thought of his career being over does not bear thinking about. Lets hope that that potential threat is not realised, and he comes back to realise his potential of being one of the greats.
RAMSEY – DO THE AYATOLLAH !

Pissed on my fire this weekend. Horrendous. I almost dropped the WoS when I read it. Absolutely gutted.
e2a (from icwales):
Rhys Thomas, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon for Vale Healthcare, who has worked with such high-profile sports stars as Gavin Henson and Robin Sowden-Taylor, said Ramsey could possibly return to the field in time for the start of the 2010-11 season.
“It sounds like [his ankle] has been fixed with screws and metal plates, the outcome of which would be, he will out for about six to nine months,” Mr Thomas said.
“He’s going to need at least six weeks in plaster, following which he will need extensive physiotherapy. He will probably be looking at between 16 and 20 weeks before he can start running on it again.
“You get these sorts of injuries quite often in rugby and football, although I haven’t seen one this bad for quite a while.
“But hopefully, if everything goes well, he should return to play in six to nine months but it will depend on how well it’s put back together.”
Very, very bad. If his career is finished......

This saturday Annis is organising a protest about the fact that grimsdale chucked all his books out of the club shop after the EGM.
Starts from the car park at rear of Admiral Napier sometime between 13:30 and 14:00, there will be a march to the stadium followed by ten minutes of shouting before dispersing and going to watch some football.

Clint well put mate I mean re Rambo, not Annis). He left us with grace and with all of us knowing that we had been honoured to see true greatness from a local lad, and I mean true greatness. I said on here before I was lucky enough to be on the halfway line at Chasetown when he made (I think?) his first start for us, so I was only a few feet away from him and his balance, and time, and touch, were all stunning, balletic. He was 17 years and one week old then, and I knew he was truly something I had never seen before from a Welsh player (I am 42 and have watched Wales all over Europe since I was 8). Even Giggs.
And when he left us I told Gooner colleagues (I work in London, innit) that they had greatness on their hands, and they thought I was being hyperbolic, and then one by one they came back to me (they are all ST holders) and admitted he is stunning.
He will play for Wales for another 15 years. I have thought about him a lot since Sat (to be fair I have been obsessed with him ever since I first saw him, tbh) - his family are sound, he is intelligent and modest, even his awkward diffidence when being interviewed will help him I think as he is not a billy-bigshot, he is grounded, hard-working and conscientious. Arsenal know what to do for him
He may still be the best player we have ever had. He's ours
And full respect to Glen Whelan, proper looked after him, with Rambo gripping him just for human comfort. Good work
Cheers lads see you soon

Our glorious chairman posted this earlier on the official club site.
It has since been removed.
Adverts have been taken out by Annis Abraham in the local media asking for our supporters to march prior to this coming Saturday's home match against Middlesbrough. In this advert he is asking the Club to answer questions with regard to the Club's finances.
Annis has a small number of shares and attended last week's EGM. Following the EGM, a presentation was made which addressed each of those questions. Annis already has the answers.
Maybe the true reason that Annis wants our supporters to march is so that you can destabilise the Club. Then what? Are you prepared for the consequences?
We are currently seeking external investment. Will a march against the current management or the Club assist that? The answer is simple. No.
This Club has made tremendous progress over the last five years. A new stadium, an FA Cup Final appearance, the highest league finish since 1971 and positive net assets for the first time for many years.
We have short-term cash challenges like many football clubs. Over the last five years we have had to be self sufficient. We have not had external investment topping up the football club's financial needs. Now we have the new stadium and with positive net assets we have a chance to attract external investment. This will not be forthcoming if they see our supporters demonstrating in the streets, you will merely drive such investors away. Then what?
If anyone agitates for change they have to have an alternative. Annis has no alternative. If he has or if anyone else has, then let them come to put such proposals to us. My door is always open.
It is now time for all Cardiff City supporters to decide whether they want this Club to thrive and move forward or to throw away everything that has been achieved over the last five years. On many occasions Annis has made it clear to me personally that he never wanted to leave Ninian Park. Maybe we have a different vision for the future of this football club.
Anyone who wants to have constructive dialogue can meet with me or my colleagues at any time. We only have the best interests of Cardiff City at heart. I hope that this is a mutually shared objective.
Anyone thinking of joining this march should look themselves in the mirror and ask if they really care about Cardiff City Football Club and its future. If the answer is yes, then come straight to the ground, enjoy the match and support the Club. If the answer is NO, then join the march.

Tbf Ed marching on the stadium is NOT going to resolve anything, it will certainly not help attract investors and may well put people off. Annis has his own agenda, and although I don't know what that is, I will put money on the fact that it involves self promotion.

Annis is a nob.
The march was organised by him as retribution for having his books taken off the shelves in the shop. Books that shouldn't have been there anyways cause they glamorise football violence and his part in it.
We've had a protest allready. I don't see what another acomplished. Especially as all the first dud was let people piss into the wind and help scare people away from visiting the club and spend their hard earned but much needed cash.
