Oh come on Dave. Pearson is a decent football manager who is there for the good of the team and club. LJ? No comparison and nowhere near the man manager that NP is.

Sweeneys Penalties Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 In Nige we trust. I fully understand the fans who hop about calling for his head, but the suggestion box marked "replace by" looks pretty empty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I look at the questions and answers regarding the 'local Derby with Cardiff' and can't help but laugh and roll my eyes. What difference does it make...why make it an issue...why create more tension and pressure, when there really isn't a need? It's not even a ' derby'. The blue few got so bad that the ' media' had to find another. It's bollox. 3 points up for grabs that should have no more meaning than Blackburn. Does anyone actually go on about beating Cardiff? Seriously? And if so ..why? Who gives a **** ..it means nothing. Just a hyped up game for the media because the Gas are so bad. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severnside derby my butt !! sooner Gas get near us the better to provide competition and push us on the better. Proper Derby not one created by media. I GUESS I am alone in that view but used to love the derbies with the gas. Good times and bad. Still think it will be a while before we are in the same league again. Perhaps not even in my life time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) As Spudski say the Gas are no longer a serious rival. We hardly ever play them and that means that City have no serious rivals. It used to Swindon but they’re languishing somewhere in the lower leagues so the next nearest club is Cardiff and not only do the press love to big up a derby, the fans love them as well. I don’t have a particular dislike for the Bluebirds but I still do for Swindon Town. To me they’re a cocky bunch shits and I’d love if they fell into the conference. My dislike for them goes back 50+ years to the days of Don Rogers…………..….. Edited August 19, 2022 by Robbored 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love beating Cardiff personally- or more accurately, I hate losing to them. Still only 3 points but the thought of losing to them makes me feel physically sick which I don’t get with Sunderland et al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn’t make a blind bit of difference to the players,but back in the day going to ninnian park and the amount of times we played them was always a good day with the let’s say thuggish behaviour going on,as for the gas nowadays is there even a rivalry it’s been so long and nobody cares anymore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We arrived at the station to be met by a huge, baying mob of Cardiff fans, screaming and throwing coins. The men and 'big boys' charged out, whilst we scrabbled about picking up all that loose change - kept me in sherbert for weeks. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 In all my time following city, a lot of cardiffs fanbase are just intrested in smashing up, and throwing things. Their violent element, certainly werent intrested in actual hand to hand with our element, on that bbc doc. They crapped their pants.

Never sure if it was because I am not from Bristol, but Wiltshire as a reason why I have never seen Cardiff as a 'derby'. Our cringeworthy media department ram it down our throats. Don't care if it's Cardiff, playing them is like playing any other club to me. My must not lose games are two teams - Rovers and Swindon, it's just they're both crap nowadays and we never play them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galley is our king Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 It's not close enough to be a derby but I think it's more to do with the fact they are from Wales. Can't stand the Welsh so I hope we batter them..... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT The Optimist Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I would add I have no dislike for Cardiff, even a grudging admiration for them...lets be fair they signed Tomlin off us, (that took some bottle) and it is a fact their history re performance is better than ours in reaching the premier league twice ! The two Cities are comparative similar in size... however they sold their soul to that Malaysian guy (Tan) and I am unsure if the 'red' flag still flutters over the stadium. I always recall a 'What the f*****g hell is that' from an away end when we visited, that drew applause from the Cardiff fans ! A classic moment .

cidered abroad Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 My father from Tonypandy followed Merthyr when they were a league club. When he moved to Bristol the one team he always wanted to defeat was Cardiff. Maybe because when visiting his uncle who lived on Coronation Road he often went to Ashton Gate in the Wedlock era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love going to Ninian Park, it was a real shit hole and full of baying and aggressive home fans. The most hostile away ground I ever visited. Even the police were like a bunch of thugs, holding their riot shields like the Roman army. One particular memory was when the home and City fans were behind the goal separated by about 15m metres and high netting. They were so close that they threw coins thru the netting, empty coke bottles full of piss over the netting……I went for a piss and the away bogs had no roof! That was day the iconic photo of Scott Murry cupping his hand to his ear as he ran down the side to us fans at the other end was taken. That has to be my favourite City photo of them all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then at halftime a fan was sick in front of her. She never went again. Hey Ho. Me and boy have. Several times. Won’t be there tomorrow.

That net was like a token gesture, found about £4 (4 pound coins) on the way out - they were serious about throwing coins back then! I was right up against the fence and I'm fairly sure if me and a Cardiff fan reached out we could have grabbed each other through the railings. My favourite away day I think, definitely in the top 3. I have a funny feeling that was a couple weeks before they played Leeds and had loads of trouble with a pitch invasion. I noticed that the following year there was a net by there bank in an attempt to stop the bottles of piss being thrown and there was a barrier in the stand moving both us and Cardiff fans away from the central fence, lots of warnings at the front as well about security paint on the front wall.

Yeah it was. Was around the time that Sam Hammam would go on a walkabout around the pitch prior to kick off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
