The city had been in the top 6 all season and it went to the final day.
As you know They lost 1-0 and failed in their quest to get 6th place. They lost to Preston who having beaten us 6-0 a few weeks before claimed the last play off spot by goal difference. If they had beat us only 5-0 the city would have got 6th.
At the same time Cardiff blues were up against Leicester in the semi final of the Heineken cup. It’s the only time a rugby match has been decided by a penalty shoot out
The game two-ed and fro-ed and went to extra time and then a penalty shoot out
Each kick was successfully taken and it went to Martin Williams the man of the match in my eyes to kick the pen to keep Cardiff in the shoot out , he missed!!
The reason I’m telling you all this is that at the time I was living in Australia
I had the city on the radio and the rugby on the telly
The city game finished first and we failed and then the blues lost on a penalty shoot out.
I felt so low, I had the piss taken out of me by my English chums for weeks
Cardiff city a team of bottlers and Cardiff rugby stuffed by superior English rugby
I’ve have waited since that day in 2009 for my city to redeem itself.
Starting tomorrow this Cardiff city team is not a team of bottlers and my honest opinion is we will not be beaten, this team of players and this manager will not allow it
Then 6 days later Cardiff blues have the chance of European glory in Bilbao.
I will be there tomorrow supporting the city with all my might and then in 6 days time I will be in Bilbao to support the blues
What a 6 days for the city
