BS15_RED Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Great night. I wasn't at the game, but listened on Radio Wales...just incredible stuff. 6-0. A goal for each finger on the average Bristolian hand..Sheer poetry. I'll probably settle for just 5 this saturday. Considering most of the inbred places in the valleys your franchise draws it's support from that's a touch hypocritical don't you think Bleddyn?

Portland Bill Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I read in the latest edition of When Saturday comes that 70 Cardiff fans had the balls to cancel there S/T after the red kit announcement. Well done to the 70,it's a shame the rest of them had no balls and just accepted it. I was always led to believe that South Wales people had principles,now we know the truth.

downendcity Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Different thread. Just saying what I remember about that 0-6 drubbing that's all. That fact that Johnson was the manager at the time matters not. You seriously expect us to believe that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being caught lying by him and not having the balls to admit it must have really been an emotional scar for you to pursue your internet vendetta like this. You should probably see someone about it.

Nibor Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Based on your home attendances we will probably have marginally fewer than you at Trashton Gate on Saturday. I'd settle for 0-5 too btw. Wow, a Cardiff fan trying to have a pissing contest about attendances? Where were you all those years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show Me The Money! Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I remember that drubbing by Cardiff for 2 things. Firstly how for the opening 10 - 15 mins we were on top and pressurising their goal only for them within the next 10 mins to hit us on the counter attack and score 3 goals. Something after the high of Tuesday's game the team need to be wary of. Secondly it was the debut of JCR if I remember right and from that one game you could see how crap he was going to be. Can remember him getting the ball and spending ages doing twists and turns and fancy stepovers to beat his fullback by which time the whole Cardiff team could get back into position. We'd then subsequently lose the ball and they'd tear us apart on the break. Least we all got free programs from the night I guess which were put to very good use. Remember the biggest cheer of the night coming when someone managed to gate a Programme Paper Airplane from the back of the Dolman on to the pitch.

Swede Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Unlike some, I stayed to the end of that 6:0 defeat. It is important to remember the many lows of being a football supporter. It makes you really appreciate the highs when they come around. I remember many years ago walking out early at the Gate during an F A Cup tie with Wrexham with the score at 2:4 to them and missing the two late City goals to set up the replay. That's why I cannot understand the majority of the fans who leave early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 So do I. I remember Wolves beating 1-6 at AG about 20 years ago and Cardiff hammering us 0-6 under Johnson who tried to trip up Chopra as he ran pass the City dugout having just scored. Good job Johnson had short legs otherwise he'd have been up on a FA and a criminal charge. There was a touchline photo taken which was all the evidence anyone wanted. It was all very embarrassing for Bristol City FC and another black mark against Johnson during his fall from grace. Remember it well! Also remember the next game away at Bradford if my memory recalls and we got beat 5-0 At least the curry we had after was ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardiffBlackLabel Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Standard Cardiff fan. I love it how the "fans" who so meekly accepted prostituting their club's history to pay off massive debts run up failing to get into the Prem still have the neck to gloat about that game. They have no shame. Sorry..my second child was about 5 days old. I can always think of better things to do than go to dreary old Bristol on a tuesday night..but especially could on that occasion.. hmmm...I don't think Bristol City fans can say anything about Cardiff fans...how many of you there on Tuesday? 12,000!? bless. No doubt there will be more on saturday for your cup final If you are interested in facts, you'll know that Cardiff fans didn't accept the change, and that the decision was reversed. When this raised the spectre of winding up orders again, many fans backtracked once more and reluctantly accepted the red shirts. Many still don't though. Things are never black and white, they are always shades of grey (or in this case, red) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt there will be more on saturday for your cup final It was a Tuesday night on a week that a hell of a lot of people go on holiday and we were playing a pretty uninspiring opponent, who brought hardly any. Of course, there'll be more on a Saturday against a more local adversary. On the subject of attendances, Cardiff fans are on very shaky ground. Despite being the only professional side in the city of Cardiff and having - in theory - the whole of south-east and mid Wales as potential supporters, I remember the days when you lot were getting crowds in the 7 and 8 thousands. A prospect we might see again when you yet again choke your promotion challenge and the Malaysians withdraw their support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearded_red Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'm pretty sure that Johnson tripped Chopra up in the 1-1 FA Cup game after the goal that Gerken pretty much gifted them. The weird thing about the 6-0 game is when the players came out the tunnel and I saw the team we had picked I said, obviously slightly tongue in cheek, 'we're going to lose this 6-0'. Don't think I've ever been so upset about correctly predicting a scoreline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree...Cardiff City do underperform compared to the city and catchment area size. Still, 12,000...bless. As noted, your cup final on saturday so I expect a big crowd. Perhaps 15,000? Which will only be 6,000 less than we got on a wet friday night against Huddersfield with the game on TV..pretty good for Bristol City though.

downendcity Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I know it's a bit of banter, but perhaps best not to get to far ahead of ourselves. We had a good result this week, but against a poor Palace side. Cardiff are the benchmark of a strong championships team ( whether we like it or not, they are) so how we perfrom on Saturday will tell us a lot about how competitive we really are this season. A draw will be a good result a win a bonus. As for attendances, the brutal truth is that for a city the size of Bristol our attendances have been pretty dire for a few years now, other than for the all to brief periods of relative success. OK Cardiff have a new stadium and we want the same, and when we get it let's hope we can fill it at least to the same extend that Cardiff do. Best to be careful throwing bricks at cardiff for the amount they pay in wages, bearing in mind we are still trying to claw our way back from a couple of seasons ago when we paid out more in wages than we made in income. They have a very wealthy owner but so do we, and Steve Lansdown has subsidised this club to a huge extent over recent years so are we any different from the bluebirds? Whoops, sorry I forgot they are now the redbreasts, or robins or something - just like us really!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
