'twas sweet as can be.
Bellamy made the difference when he came on. It was like the team came alive.
OMG. Football posts on the football thread.lol
I nearly forgot to mention...
He eats what he wants,
He eats what he waaaants,
Paddy Kenny,
He eats what he wants.
Funniest chant of the year so far.
Ed we haven't just about disbandedThe long running London-based Cardiff City supporters club, the 1927 Club, voted 90% against the changes and as a result has now just about disbanded.
Fuck. You. Vincent. Tan.
Well, that's how S++++ sees it. Seeing as the 1927 club was all about meeting up and going to City games together I'm not sure what the real point in joining is any more.Ed we haven't just about disbanded
we have had some proper rows and a very high percentage of us are not going to any City games
Ah yes. I can see how the emphasis can change its meaning!tbf Placid could be saying that 'we haven't just about disbanded....it's fucked' etc

Perhaps you could help me out on that one!
So you really don't give a fuck that some of City's most loyal fans - you know the ones that used to keep the club alive when we were deep down in the basement - have been completely disenfranchised by Vincent Tan's RedBlueDragonBirds?well you can still meet up and city are still playing games that you can go and watch. i dont see the problem.
They havent been tho have they, They can still meet up and there is still a football club to watch.So you really don't give a fuck that some of City's most loyal fans - you know the ones that used to keep the club alive when we were deep down in the basement - have been completely disenfranchised by Vincent Tan's RedBlueDragonBirds?
Do you just view them as collateral damage to the Nu Brand Future?
Meet up and do what, exactly? Watch a pointlessly rebranded, renamed, rebadged team that bears so little resemblance to the team they've followed for years on end, that they now feel uncomfortable and disenfranchised being there. Yeah, that's going to be a magnificent day out.They havent been tho have they, They can still meet up and there is still a football club to watch.
I'm a Fulham fan but went along to The Den the other evening to watch you completely outclass a very, very poor Millwall team.
Anyway.....whenever Millwall sang their famous "Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllllllll!' single syllabled 'song' you lot responded by holding you arms out above you heads, waves your hands and then touched your head islamic stylie. Was very, very funny but how's you all do it in time???
Huw Owen was even more precise. "In June 1989, the Ayatollah Khomeini died. In the autumn of 1990 there was an earthquake which killed 35,000 Iranians. Both events were accompanied by the traditional Iranian sign of mourning, tapping both hands against the forehead.
On September 15, 1990, Cardiff played away at Lincoln. It ended up a 0-0 draw. Whether we missed an open goal or just played direly, there was a mood of sombreness over the small crowd (about 120 or so) of Cardiff supporters who'd made the long trek to Lincolnshire.
One of their number decided to encapsulate this by mimicking the signs of grief displayed by Iranians so profoundly and continuously on our TV screens over the preceding months."
It took off later that season, he continues, during a match at Hereford, when the original perpetrator - "fuelled by some of the local apple-based brew" - got up on the fence in front of the Cardiff fans and led the wailing and metaphorical gnashing of teeth.

That's video is terrifying awful. I had to turn it off after about 30 seconds.
Here's one take on how the celebration came about:
That story of how it came about is entirely accurate. Phil Stead (whose new Wales book I trail in the Wales thread elsewhere on this thread) started it, with Gwilym and a couple of others, at LincolnThat's video is terrifying awful. I had to turn it off after about 30 seconds.
Here's one take on how the celebration came about:
The thing was it was our love for the team that made us bond. Now that they club (as we know it) has been taken away from us, there's not much else we can do but moan about how shit things are, and that's not my idea of a fun day out.
My biggest regret in all this is that a rival Cardiff City club didn't start up. I'd rather watch them play in the Dai The Farmer League, then be part of this whimsical billionaire exhibition of vanity.
Laughing stock of the league. When Palace are taking the piss you may as well not bother.
