Cole Not Gas Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 When they're gone they're gone; i dont usually have much sentiment about ex-players and certainly not about ex-managers - unlike a small group on here - but this Saturday may be an exception. I wont cheer him on but i certainly wont boo him; what about you? I quite liked CoD until his injury which i think happened at, or soon after, he ripped Sunderland's LB to pieces at the Stadium of Light. Thereafter he didnt really impress. Famara was different; we had a good song for him, which could be modified to "he comes from Senegal and now he'll win F.All, Famara" Some 50 goals for us in 160 games, great defensively and part of an era where we recruited really good forwards, unlike the most recent ones of Mehmeti and Cornick Let's hope his legs have aged a bit and he doesnt cause us any problems. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Diedhiou - a song or boos? Neither. When his name is announced it will be a gentle applause from me. Then completely ignored during the game… 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelton Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Fairly meh about his return. We know he can't trap a bag of cement so I would expect Dickie to dominate him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Harry Posted February 29 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 29 Sod him. He wasn’t very good when he was here. He only achieved cult status because someone made up a song rhyming Knowle with Senegal. He now plays for those shits over the border. **** him. Why would I cheer him? 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 His record on paper was alright over the piece was okay, but for the last several months apart from one game at Middlesbrough his output was appalling. Always felt he could do a bit more..or often anyway. Two observations about him: 1) Did anyone remember but his form/output (Goals and Assists) seemed to fluctuate around the January window. Interesting.. 2) Middlesbrough away. A club who were linked with him in January 2021 and playing in front of the incoming manager. Funny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted February 29 Admin Report Share Posted February 29 Give him the same reception that we give to ANY Cardiff player He is nothing to do with us now 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaverface Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Bit meh for me. Probably won't boo, unless he scores and gives it to us. Most likely be a polite round of applause before the match and then noting else during it. I appreciate his goals for us over the years, but didn't appreciate him downing tools in the last few months of his time with us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn't give a **** about this club, it was all about him. I will never forget him walking and lightly jogging around the pitch most weeks, especially at the end of 2020/21. A bang average footballer at best too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hankey Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 If Aden Flint & Marlon Pack were given abuse, despite both having achieved & given way more than a bloke whose most recognised at the club for some idiots who couldn't pronounce his name deciding to call him "Dave", then i highly doubt or would expect that he will be getting a warm welcome.

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 (edited) He often had a bit of a spike around mid to late November to end of January..which again is interesting. It varies by season and obviously he had a lengthy injury in Year 1 but...It comes up at least twice if not 3 times.

The Journalist Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Undoubtedly stepped off it in his final few months with us - and he wasn’t a good enough player to get away with that. He was alright, but also our best spell as a team throughout his time with us was when he was injured… 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 If he gives a polite clap as he comes out to warm up i can see him getting the same back but once the games underway i hope he gets pelters. 50 odd goals, thanks very much but it was pretty much after that point he was just turning up for the pay cheque. That's not been forgotten. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Given that we booed Marlon Pack and Aden Flint, two club legends in my opinion as part of that double winning team, I fully expect Fam to be significantly booed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At FGR on Tuesday there was a ‘neutral’ stood right next to me, but he was clearly there to support Wrexham. I made sure I cheered and shouted extra loud right next him when FGR scored. I know it was only FGR but I didn’t see the need for him to keep saying ‘go on’ or ‘well done’ whenever Wrexham did something. Had that been at AG I genuinely think he’d have had someone confront him. Anyway - back to Big Dave from Knowle. Even though he was generally a clump of a player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A clump of a player who scored 50 goals for us and was top scorer two seasons. I generally respect your view on the game and on players Harry, but not on this one! Never the most elegant of players, but effective. And on his day a handful for any defender at this level. Its a few years since he was here and I’m hoping/assuming those years will have had their toll and he won’t be the Diedhiou of old on Saturday 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 I might applaud before , shout at him like any other Cardiff player during , then as he's taken off after doing nothing all game I will give him a good clap of appreciation , but only if he's done nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 I never see the point of booing former players unless they leave us under contentious circumstances or slag the club or city off. They're just people doing a job. It seems so petty and tinpot to routinely boo ex-playets. Gas-type behaviour. If he acknowledges us City fans, he'll get a brief clap back for the courtesy. But that's it. During the game, he's just another Cardiff player and I hope he has a shocker. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
