Aizoon Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 "Monmouthshire was created as a county in Wales by Henry VIII as part of the Union Act in 1542"Doesn't that make England a Welsh colony, given Henry's nationality? Quote Link to comment

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) So why was it the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire, if Monmouthshire was part of South Wales?Because of different historical administrative centres which changed in 1974. The Act was passed in 1542 - you had plenty of time to moan about it then so don't now execute the messenger. Edit- there were 13 counties created but recorded as 6 north and 6 south but Monmouthshire was left out at a later stage due to the different administration. It has been argued that this was due to the proximity of the large border shared with England ( Gloucestershire) which was jolly Royal and Henry wanted to keep an eye on that.Of course the Duke of Beaufort owned massive amounts of that county including Raglan Castle which Cromwell trashed much like our fans trashed a Cardiff pub. The current Duke still owns quite a bit of Monmouthshire. Edited October 26, 2015 by Marina's Rolls Royce Quote Link to comment

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 For those interested, Tesco sell £3 promotional double-packs of pringles to get a free 1-day NowTV Sky sports pass. Even if you just throw the pringles in the bin its still decent value. I'm Chromecasting it tonight to my TV and the picture is usually very, very good.If you've not used NowTV online before you can watch via tablet/phone or laptop.Unfortunately Now! Only in the UK. I just don't understand Sky, there are thousands of ex pats living all over the world, why do they throw away all this potential revenue? It's beyond me! Quote Link to comment
reddogkev Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I've just realised something....NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE BAYING FOR BLOOD FOR MY LIKING!!!!COME ON GUYS, LET'S DESTROY CARDIFF THIS EVENING!Seriously, I've scrubbed my tip of a draw and now expect us to absolutely hammer Cardiff tonight.

It's beyond me!I doubt it's Sky's fault, obviously they wouldn't turn down another revenue stream, it's probably an international broadcast rights issue.To echo others, I stream Now TV (via my Apple TV) and it's a very good way to watch without shelling out for a Sky Sports contract. Streaming via Apple is the only way you can get it in HD though, for those of you that care about such things. Quote Link to comment

The way we play, with the amount of chances we seem to both create and concede, I suspect our results will continue to be something of a lottery this season. Quote Link to comment
WhistleHappy Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 S'pose its too much to hope for a huge 3 goal differential victory tonight?An away win of 3-0, 4-1, 5-2 whatever in the little Principality would be wonderful and see us above Leeds up the Championship table into 17th. On the other hand avoid a defeat tonight will do nicely... or of course three points by a single goal would be great. COYRs Quote Link to comment

I believe that Now TV was available internationally at one time, so what happened to stop it? Quote Link to comment
Mad Cyril Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 you want to see atmosphere come over and join my table tonight!! why, is your table broken?Bloody cheap furniture, presumably poor quality knock off from the far east. Come on City, sort it out. 1 Quote Link to comment

The streaming sites you are referring to are illegal and not to be used as a barometer of what Sky can and cannot do! Quote Link to comment
Offside Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 It must be over 10 years since we have beat them away, so we are due a win there. My first away game was at Cardiff in 1989 when we beat them 3-0. More of the same would be good tonight. COYR Quote Link to comment

COYRsJust think for one moment, how incredible it would feel to watch the goals flying in for us, and go onto record a 3 or 4 nil win.We need to find a way to maximise the attacking threat of Kodjia and give him the means to start tearing defences to shreds. With the hostile atmosphere of tonight, I can see Flint rising to the occasion and getting on the score sheet. Wilbs should be good for a goal, and perhaps Freeman can unleash a beauty of a free kick into the top corner. Quote Link to comment

I.e. you can be sued but not prosecuted for using them. Quote Link to comment

havanatopia Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Condended Version Cardiff:In Britains oldest shithole ......................... and what a shithole it is !! BaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaYou had to edit that? Shameful.Sorry to burst this particular myth, Aizoon, but Monmouthshire has never ever been part of England nor has it ever been a "coastal area" ( Havanatopia). As far as football is concerned- Havanatopia makes reference to the fact that this where the edges are blurred due to some clubs being in the English League but most in the Welsh League.Last time I checked a map my friend the county had a coast; its called the Severn Estuary so that might not meet your criteria. Of course I am not up to speed, ala' 2015 with any possible boundary changes so it may be land locked now but most definitely Monmouthshire has had a coast as long as I can remember and for sure back then.have you left anything to write for the reverse fixture?Oh yeszzzzzz.
