Cardiff City RedBlueDragonBirds 2012-2013 season

Right. So now you've finally spat out your accusation, could you provide some supporting evidence and name who is supposedly hiding behind the identity?

Well let's see here ... joined just two weeks ago, instantly plunged into this debate. Almost all his posts are to this thread, vehemently supporting the "Blue" side of the discussion, regretting how as a long-term supporter he now feels alienated etc.

Just a couple of other posts which indicate a love of reggae music and beer. Used to live in Crwys Rd., interested in old architecture, knows the pubs of Cardiff. Avatar shows white guy with dreadlocks.

Aha, I've got it! It's Firky isn't it?
 
I'm not a Cardiff fan, festivaldeb's Swansea, I'm neither.

BUT just leaping in here to say fair play and congratulations to Cardiff -- they've had a really good and largely consistent season, promotion fully deserved.

Malky Mackay seems like an excellent manager as well. Hope you enjoy next season, plenty here are looking forward to your visit to a certain ground ten mins walk from where I'm posting ... :D

Time for you to start apologising. There is no IP match with any other poster. Feel free to check this fact with other mods.

And then apologise for disrupting this thread with your stupid paranoid nonsense.

I'll do better than that.

I'm in Cardiff next week, so if Ras is real I can buy him a pint and apologize to him in person.

What do you say Ras, fancy a trip to the Claude?
 
The press seem to be concentrating on (local hero) Craig Bellamy's emotional reaction to promotion.

I'd have to say the one player who was most visibly happy was Kevin McNaughton.

See that expression on his face?
He worn that same expression for the entire lap of the pitch when they came out 20 minutes later. His face must be hurting today.

He so deserves that joy though.

ETA. I want silver hair toooo!

Seven years and 251 appearances for the Bluebirds. He has suffered a lot of heartache as City have fallen at the last hurdle few times since he arrived. This must be sweet for him - i hope that he gets a chance to stick around and taste that top tier after all the graft he has put in. He certainly deserves it.

(PS: is I note you did not say you would let him shag your wife :))

He's under no obligation to meet you but if you keep accusing new posters of being sockpuppets without even a scrap of evidence, you'll be banned.

OK how about this.

You've never lied to me before, and I think you're an honorable man. So I'll ask you a direct question, and I'll accept your answer as the truth.

Were the posts credited to Ras Malai Bait written by yourself?

For fuck's sake. It is strictly forbidden for any mod to post under a different ID. Without any exceptions. That's always been the rule here and it's been upheld since the site started.

If any mod tried to do so, it would immediately be flagged up by the board software, so all the other mods would see it. And then the mod would have to explain their deception.

You are so far out of order with this completely groundless accusation that I'm really pissed off.

Fair enough. I got it wrong. I apologize unreservedly to both you and Ras Malai.

Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan once again asks "do i look stupid"?

Western mail
“I created some controversy with the colours. There was a lot of resistance. Most of the fans and most of the board were against it,” said Tan.

“I said maybe this will change our luck. I changed the logo to the national symbol.

“In 1927 when Cardiff won the FA Cup they had a dragon on their crest so I brought it back – the national flag on the shirt.

“It’s not an Asian dragon but their national symbol. You can’t have a red dragon on a blue jersey, so the jersey had to change too. :eek: :facepalm:

“The blogs got pretty nasty, but I would like to think I changed Cardiff’s luck”
 
A friend of mine who has actively opposed the change to blue - and been in the press saying so - was physically threatened by a pro-red twat recently. He's been told to stay away from future games.

Fucking pathetic.

who was he threatened by?.......wasnt Gwyn was it?

this has been one of the hardest things to come to terms with for me.......the amount of people that have embraced the re-brand to the point of actually threatening those who want to keep the club in its correct colours and badge

I honestly just dont get it.....

I'm not going to name names but the suggestion was it wouldn't just him doing the beatings.
And that is the final straw for me and Cardiff.
 
Have you been to Wigan lately? You can't fucking move for the International Glitterati clogging up all the local boozers and stuffing their cheeks with Uncle Joe's Mint Balls.
 
and what happens if Cardiff are relegated next season......do you think those die hard Malaysian bluebirds are going to stick with Cardiff?......or do you think they might just stick with Emm U, Man City, or Chelsea....

My understanding is that it has actually gone beyond threats now and slaps have been handed out. This has even happened at a Wales away game – nothing to do with Cardiff City.

Some of the people who are ‘militantly pro-red’ are people I once considered personal friends. I have gone away with them many times watching Cardiff City and Wales. I won’t be doing so again.

I think the red/blue split is actually a much bigger deal on the internet than it is in the pubs and workplaces in South Wales and I don’t see this hostility down the stadium – much. From what I can gather though some of the slaps that have been handed out were over things that have been said on message boards. WTF is that about?

Champions. We are going up to the top flight. This should be the highlight of any City fan’s life. Yet the re-brand, which some said would be forgotten about in a few months, still dominates a lot of conversations and if anything is creating more division among fans now than it did last summer.

Champions. I should be experiencing ecstasy, not ambivalence.

Throughout all of this I have thought to myself that the club has handled things very poorly PR wise and Tan should come out and say exactly what the logic behind the re-brand was. Unfortunately, in the last month or so he has made several public statements and every time he opens his mouth he looks more of a clown. I even sense that some of the ‘reluctant reds’ are becoming disillusioned with him and the mood for bringing back blue is gaining momentum if anything. I am not optimistic that it is a movement that is going anywhere though.

His comments about not really caring about those he has alienated leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Yet here I am, with a direct debit set up for next year’s season ticket. I think this will be my last season though. There is only so much disrespect a man (or at least this man) can take in the name of blind devotion.

Champions. I should be getting excited about visiting lots of new stadiums next season. I can’t even be arsed to go to Hull – the first time I will have missed the last away game of the season for many years.
