If Robbo is cleared to play, I fancy we can sneak a draw. Otherwise a narrow defeat.
1-1

Have City actually appealed Robinson's red card? Riza said he'd like to but I'm not sure of there was ever any confirmation as regards a formal appeal.

As usual, there is silence from Cardiff City FC.
We might have a clue if Riza does a presser today.

Based on the forecast I don't think snow will be an issue during the match.....however getting back home will be another matter altogether.....if they get home. Good luck to all those hardy travellers.

Do you know what happened to Robbo's appeal?

Do you know what happened to Robbo's appeal?

It won’t have been heard yet but if it fails, like I would expect, then he’ll miss the swansea game.
If todays game goes ahead of course.
