Bit harsh on Sykes, it was a different game when Bell came on TBF. When Bell came on, we had to force the game a bit and Bell played a more attacking role . Not saying that Sykes was brilliant but I thought he did ok and did a lot of work tracking back. On a side note, at the time I thought Bell was onside for his "Goal" , I've looked again and it's tight. TBF the Lino is in a decent position and as Bell is closest you can see why he gave it, too tight to say he was wrong.

So Nige had a chat with the Ref, he cleared up the reason for no Pen yesterday ? I’m more disappointed with the penalty shout that’s not given when Nahki Wells is tackled from behind in the fashion that he is. The explanation is 'minimal football contact', whatever that means. "'Minimal football contact', what does that mean? No idea. Got no idea what they were talking about and so another week goes past where we have a shout that if it went against us, I wouldn’t argue against it "If that was against us, I wouldn’t be arguing with that. But there you go, that’s what we have to put up with every week I’m afraid.” I don't think any fans get angry any more, shrug and gets on with it.

Had a few mates that went, I bet they could have sold a lot more tickets in BS3 if we knew what would happen ?

No, what would be better than Wycombe sending them down, again ? I would settle for the tent dwellers to be mid table and Wycombe confirming their Playoff spot with a Win at Tent Town.

As @weepywall said FA Cup. Saw an Accrington post a while back, I think they made a profit of around £3 after all costs. From gate receipts , away team expenses and other stuff are taken out, then they split whats left. Very simplified view but something like that.

Not sure why, celebrating Relegation ?

Interesting replies from the great unwashed. Not sure the first one knows they were at home. And Wycombe's view.

Personally I'm not worried it's open season, I didn't even realise. We moved a few rows back in the lower Lansdown, so felt like a win. What they could do, apart from actually telling people what's going on, they could easily do a day for STH to get their seats that are available, then a day for upper tier to have their pick and so on. Only adds one day to the procedure. I know these things can be awkward , but just get the communication right FFS.

Is that them celebrating storming back into the League, by being 2nd best team in the Conference, then needing a Penalty shootout to beat Grimsby ? Oh on side note. I Googled when they reached the Playoff final and Google came up trumps. First pic the question pops up, 2nd the answer

They are biting back at the claims they tried to insure Sala after the fact, not sure how far the case has got. But saying they are bringing a case against the insurers for negligence, and saying they understood from their Brokers they were insured, certainly seems like they are trying sway opinion . So they are playing games in the Media , but they have tried blaming everyone but themselves so far and they are running out of targets. So I think the statement was , initially , to knock back the reports of insurance fraud.

Right, trying to be even handed. They have put out a statement... There has been selective reporting today of the defence filed against the claim the Club has brought against its insurance brokers for doing their job negligently. The Club did not try to insure Emiliano after the plane crash. All Cardiff City Football Club staff understood from its broker that all players were insured from the moment they were signed, and the case arises from learning they were not. It will reply to the allegations made in the defence that are untrue, or portrayed out of context, in the court proceedings and will not litigate this case in the media. I think most Clubs would look into what had gone on, but there is no way Cardiff come out of this looking good.

*cough rasists ?

Not sure if this has been on here, but it's funny anyway. An up and down season described by a fan who sees only black and white. Be great if he followed a lower League team. WARNING : Bad language alert for you sensitive types.

Oh, it was worth it and we knocked you down from £10,000,000 , so there's that.

Geert Meijer ( Geerty from Amsterdam ) , that Birmingham 2-1 win and a goal on debut. I thought we had a Superstar on our hands. Hard to believe he only played 15 games for us. In those days we didn't get any info from the Club, and I didn't realise what a mess the finances were in. I assumed we would be in (the old) Div 1 for years. Specilaly as the year before relegation we finished around 13th, I honestly thought the next year we had a chance of Europe. For context for the younger ones , 6 teams qualified for Europe then, 7 if one on the top 6 won the FA Cup. So we were about 8 points off our last but one year there.

Thanks for your concern over how I spend my time. It was clearly a jokey post, plus it's not me going back to a post from October to get annoyed. I would add I've probably posted much worse.

My Football hating Wife has informed me that her sister has got us tickets ? Needless to say she is really looking forward to it. ? Looking forward to seeing the Gate full TBH.

Are you inferring that our Mayor, who was I flown to Malaysia , put up at a Hotel all inclusive, by the Company that own the Hanger where the Arena will be, may not be totally independent ???? I'm shocked. BTW what happened to the land by Temple Meades that cost us about £15m ?

Insult to Clowns

As a City comparrison I'd say Carl Shutt . But he has some growing and learning to do, but great promise. Saw that this morning, must admit I was a little worried. They had a bench full of first teamers to change it up, we had 6th Formers. Couldn't have been much better, other than to win it in normal time. Most annoying thing was not being able to watch, sounded like OTC made an impression.

Max had it covered

If our lot actually decided to like Nige , that could work here. We've got super Nigel Pearson, He knows exactly what we need, Vyner at the back, Nahki in attack, He's gonna take us to the Premier League. Doesn't matter if you believe it or not, we've been singing "we're by far the greatest team" for years and no one believes that.

He proved my doubts wrong a long time ago. I think he is a confidence player and no surprise to me that given a run in the same position and with the same teams mates he has shone. Still has a mistake in him as does everyone of them, but I think he can become even better as experience helps his confidence. Just a brilliantly disguised back pass
