Cardiff City 2010-2011 season

[1927]

I remember Joe Theisman too. He was the unfortunate QB that got absolutely murderated by the speedy and utterly mean Giants LB Lawrence Taylor, his snapped knee rotating like a twig in a horrifying moment. So nasty were the compelling replays that it's stuck with me forever - indeed I think the TV company even ended up changing policy and apologising for the crystal clear grimness of it.

Good grab and blarney though 1927. I'm inclined to agree with you on Ledley too, the ungrateful cur. Cole it is then.

Off topic I know, but there's a good film called Blindside about a offensive tackle called Michale Oher. The film starts with footage of Theismann's injury which it explains changed football as since then offensive tackles have become far more valuable.

Even more curious, Rat Boy has left Celtic Park without signing and flown back home.

I'm still changing ickle Oscar Joe's name to Paolo tho, just for all the shit Ledders has put us thru this week!

 

[1927]

Ledley the truth!

 

[Infidel Castro]

I'm here to be shot down, but my disappointment at Ledley looking like he 'might' be signing for Celtic over Stoke stemmed from one thing and one thing only - the affect it might have on his career as a Wales player. I can see how fans are annoyed at the feller fucking off to Scotland at the expense of City (re the £3m), but for fuck's sake, he wasn't the divvy who put City in the position they're in. Aye, he can give City a massive boost by plumping for Stoke, but it shouldn't be used like a gun at his head - he's a player, not some can't-do-maths financial director. I'm still hoping he'll go to Stoke for the Prem experience (whether deemed good enough or not by fans, a Prem manager reckons he's good enough, which is enough) and that he'll improve as a Wales player. We're long over-due some success at that level, and he'll have a part to play in that. A move to Scotland would be retrograde. Any kudos for being a Celtic player disappeared west ages ago.

slightly off topic, but i am sure cardiff fans will be interested.

are you happy now you heartless bastards? Ledley is upset by Internet (i think they may be talking about the other places though)

My heart bleeds for him. I ams ure that the £25k a week will help him get over it. All this bollocks about the great service he has given us, well he didnt do it for free did he and has always been paid more than ya average young person and has consistently turned downany improved contract. was always going to go on a free.

The Echo talked about him being a member of the "Cardiff City family", fair enough, how many people do you know who would have walked out on their family and made a decision which instead of saving the family business may well condemn it to bankruptcy?

 

[1927]

Haven't been online since friday and didn't realise that there ios still no official announcement atht he has signed anywhere.

Secondly just thought about this. What would stop Celtic signing him today and selling him to Stoke tomorrow for big bucks, can that even happen or are you not allowed to be sold twice in same window?

 

[1927]

Some talk about the fact that Joe is holding off signing til after the fianl whistle of the WC final as that officially marks the end of the season, the seaon in which Joe turned 23. Had he signed before the final whistle then we would have bee entitled to something in the region of £900k in training compensation, after the game we will entitled to nothing.

If this is true then the verbal bashing I gave him earlier on here is nothing to the one he deserved. I can see him being something of a hate figure in Cardiff if this really is true.

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

I've heard those rumours as well. Surely though you can't direct the ire at Ledley for that if it is true, as Celtic will have presumably withheld the offer until tomorrow.

 

[Gromit]

Its a bollocks rumour. The world cup is only every four years. Our seasons aren't four years long as we wait for the world cup to close them.

FIFA aren't the FA either so how does a FIFA competition dictate to a domestic league's start and finish ?

As to twice in a transfer window, no they can't. To stop all kinds of skulduggery and fee evasion.

Celtic were expecting him to sign on thursday!

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

It's probably a bollocks rumour and our board are no doubt haggling over some trivial sum

ledley saga finally comes to an end. Signed for Celtic

Contrary to Gromit assertion that it didnt matter Celtic announced that he signed this morning.

Problem is tho that he didnt travel with the team from Glasgow to Heathrow and instead travelled up from Cardiff. Then they release this video, which they have pulled from Youtube, which was obviously pre recorded. joe is wearing the same clothes he was wearing when he left Glasgow last thursday and struggles to name the day when he signed. He also says that he is looking forward to meeting up with Loovens on monday, not tomorrow or today!!


Its this cynical manipulation of the facts and teh underhandedness of it all which stinks. Celtic thought they had covered their arses by saying he signed today, but that is so obviously bollocks!!

 

[Fedayn]

Right, if you lot can stop sucking the lemons by the ton, is he any good, seriously. Simple question....

Good enough for the SPL, NOT good enough for the EPL.

Someone has really taken advantage of Joe's gullibility tho.

Says in that interview he is looking forward to playing in front of 60,ooo every week, WRONG

And as for European football, has he actually looked at Celtic's form in Europe over the last few years? He aint gonna be playing in a Champions League final anytime soon.

He reckons the SPL is a good league.Haha.

What is pissing Cardiff fans off today is he says that he looking forward to playing in a great stadium with great fans. Now that sounds like we didnt offer that, that has wound people up.

Sounds lik every footballer who's signed for a new club then, ie given to wittering on.... Oh well...

 

[Gromit]

Just checked out that interview....

I came up to take a look at the stadium and facilities and er training facilities and fell in love with the club straight away.

Translation:
I came up to find out how much wonga they are going to give me and i when they did i said i'd like their balls and brown nose like a good un for a wedge like that.

Why Celtic?

The european as well.

Translation:
Erm I've forgotten the name of the competition that my agent said to mention.

What do you know about the club.

The fan expect you to win.

Translation:
Absolutely nothing so I'll blather on about the fans even though what I've said applies to the fans of most every club.

Did you get any advise from welsh players.

No. I txt'd Belamy though.

Translation:
I don't realise that Belamy is in fact welsh. Even though i've played for Wales with him.

 

[Gromit]

Btw as someone who knows a little about body language, micro expressions and other tells.

Every time Ledley looks up to his right... he is trying to remember what his agent and media coach have told him to say. Even if its only a quick 'safe' expression to use.

Every time he looks down to his left he is genuinely thinking about his answer. Whats worrying is the amount of thinking he has to carry out to hold a simple interview with friendly interviewer. His poor little brain must have been aching afterwards bless im.

 

[1927]

I can't remember if I posted my tale about him on here, but here goes anyway.
Start of last season I was convinced he was going to leave so thought I had better get a shirt signed by him for ickle 27. Chopra, Joe and a few others were signing autographs down the club shop so I wait in line with a shirt. I handed Joe the shirt and asked if he could write "Best Wishes to Oscar JOE, Joe Ledley", as I explained ickle 27 had been given his name.

He started to write, checking with me for the spelling of Oscar, and then he was finished "Best wishes to Oscar, Joe Ledley".

Chops leaned over and explained that I wanted him to write JOE, I confirmed that was right. Chops puts him arm round his shoulder and said "The gentleman explained that he named his son after you" Joe nodded in agreement that he understood, "Well your name isn't Oscar is it?" says Rocky!!

Funny how he's suddenly become thick cos he's left you lot.....

On the contrary. If you take a look at previous Cardiff City threads I think you will find that his lack of intelligence has always been cause of amusement.

I wish to retract the statement I made in the above post #2140. I remember posting it and I had just come back from a lunchtime session!!!!

Nah he's always been thick.

Everyone I know whose met him (or have stories of friends or family meeting him) have always made the same comment at the end of their story...

"Good job he's good at football"
