Well, not a lot to like about modern football in general. Few mumblings of discontent here and there but not enough action.

As for the game, Derby are playing surprisingly well!

Good work by a proper fan.

Cardiff City fan has paid £12.99 to end any possibility of the Premier League-chasing club being renamed Cardiff City Dragons.

Paul Woodman, from Caerphilly, yesterday formally registered a limited company of that name with himself as the sole director.

His move means that no-one else could use the name without buying it from him – something he has no intention whatsoever of letting happen.

Cardiff’s Malaysian owner Vincent Tan had to issue a statement last week insisting the club’ s name would not change after BBC Wales reported he was not ruling out the move.

Bluebirds boss Malky Mackay also had to go on record to criticise the BBC reports and insist Tan had no intention of altering the club brand.

Season ticket holder Woodman, 28, says he has put an end to the debate anyway by registering his new firm with Companies House.

“I work in an office in Swansea and since this story about changing the name to the Dragons has come out, I’ve had the mickey taken out of me constantly by my colleagues,” he said.

“I’ve been a Cardiff City season ticket holder for many years and don’t like the idea of the name change.

“Mr Tan says he doesn’t intend to change the name, but I guess he could change his mind. I also suppose that there are several name combinations he could use if he really wanted to.

“But I do know that by spending the money to register Cardiff City Dragons as a company owned by me I have prevented any future question of that name being used.

“I’ve no interest whatever in selling the name to anyone else, no matter what the price, so they can forget it.”

1927 are you going to apologise for your racist insinuation? or answer any posts put to you?

Which racist insinuation was that?

It is funny how a lot of true blue sentiment expressed on line has been quite racist though. Hatred towards foreigners being involved with 'our' football. Despite the fact many foreigners support city too. By actually attending games regularly I might add.

i hope your not confusing non white with foreign as i'm sure you know that there are generations of people in Cardiff who are Welsh and not white? surely that's not what you meant is it?
also you can criticise 'foreign investors' with out it being racist
is it actually 'a lot' or just how you want to portray it?
not saying that there aren't ignorant people out there saying and posting out of order stuff

Xenophobic then not racist.

And no I'm talking about fans I've met at the city ground who weren't born in Cardiff, Wales or even the UK. Malaysians, Indian and Chinese. Less fans from India now that Chopra doesn't play for us.

Not sure how expressing concern about the influence of a foreign owner with no interest in Cardiff City's traditions and heritage is "racist."

Call me old fashioned, but I rather prefer it when a club is run for the benefit of the people who have supported the team through thick and thin, rather than with the aim of trying to entice money from faraway people in shirt sales.

I don't hate foreigners being involved in the game. But I do hate it when they set about treating the club like their personal plaything and not giving a fuck about a sizeable proportion of the fanbase.

That isn't but there has been plenty of racist filth posted and subsequently deleted from the official message board, the Mike Morris Board and Wales online.

Vincent Tan's Red Dragon Franchise are only three points ahead now, after Hull won tonight.

 

[Gromit]

With 0-1-2-3-4-6 potential points worth of games in hand.

 

[editor]

Those lucky red shirts sure seem to be losing their magic with Red Dragon Franchise FC only scrambling a 90 min equaliser against out-of-form Leicester tonight.

City have now only managed 5 points from the last five games, with other teams catching up fast.

Keep this up and we'll be exactly where we last year - except without the integrity, the tradition, the heritage etc etc.

Hearing from quite a few more mates who won't be renewing their season tickets next season, even if we go up.

Cardiff averaged 2.0 points per game from their last two games.
A 1.95 per match average is usually considered enough to secure promotion so if we keep this up here we go

I wonder how long he'll wait before he changes the name after promotion is gained? I reckon it'll be one season and then it's Dragons all the way.

So the rant is set off by the prospect of a huge KCB turnout at the upcoming Watford match is it?
Didn't really happen though did it?
Blue balloons? Never saw any.

Officials to confiscate blue? When its the away strip?!
Never been a threat from the owner.

All in all yet another shit revival of a meme that should die now please.

All in all yet another shit revival of a meme that should die now please.

It's all shameful stuff that has turned Cardiff into the laughing stock of real football fans: our once famously passionate and proud fans bending over and letting themselves be shafted in the name of success at any cost.

And you know that the name will be changed to the Dragons in a season or two, and you're just going to accept that too, aren't you?

 

[Gromit]

You are starting to sound like a conspiraloon now.
You have no evidence that is going to happen. 2+2=5 thinking going on here.

But fuck it why not support a team called the dragons. Its nothing to be ashamed of. I'm proud to be welsh and the dragon is the welsh national symbol. It wouldn't be the first team called the Dragons that I supported. I have a Harchester Utd shirt in my wardrobe somewhere. At least I hope I still have, it took me ages to get one.

Thats much better that a Swan, The Swans. how lame arse is that.

This new signing looks like he's turned up at the wrong stadium.

That's not even a decent red either.

It's got a bit of orange in it.
