Canton Stand Last Night

Re: Canton Stand Last Night

8 English players started. 3 on the bench on Saturday.

10 English players started (albeit 1 has elected to represent Ireland, and 1 Scotland). 4 on the bench (1 who has elected to represent Wales).

Facking hell there's a few on here that have forgotten being an adolescent.
You sound like your parents 40 odd years ago.
I thought the Canton made a good noise last night.

There is some irony about , I can recall the language and behaviours of fans in the old Ninian Park which would shock the Canton Stand fans of today .

Re: Canton Stand Last Night

And do you think that all those people in those arguments on Twitter are worked up? Or are they just having a bit of an argument online then going back to their normal lives like you do here? You seem to think that everyone else is super sensitive and losing it and you're the only one who's just having a bit of back and forth :shrug:

Bingo, he couldn’t see the wood for the trees ffs.

For lads who aren't worked up you're sure going on about it.

Bit of chanting. Most would like to see it more pro City but that's all it is.

You need to calm down a bit.

Exactly, but we’re not on about bad language are we, times have moved on. I wouldn’t be keen on bringing a kiddie down the City for the first time and explaining the paedophile song to him. Do we want to go back, or stay, in the times of anti type songs, I say no but do we want to go back and sing pro City & City players songs, I say yes.

Re: Canton Stand Last Night

Love to see more Welsh lads breaking through , I might be wrong it seems were at our most healthiest for some time with Welsh representation In the first team squads , well done the City /Mick.

Agreed, but just because I used to do it (and worse), doesn't mean I shouldn't point out how ridiculous it is as I get older. All part of growing up surely.

Re: Canton Stand Last Night

McGuinness is from Slough.

Still doesn't make you right..just adds numbers to the English count.. Meaning the fans had one more English player in their team while singing anti England songs :hehe:

Moore is from? Ashley Williams was from? Did they play for Wales? Anyway, that's a other debate, read his ****ing name out loud :hehe:

Re: Canton Stand Last Night

I think there’s a bit of rise tinted specs there Steve.

There was a hell of a lot worse in the 70s and 80s than putting a sick twist on the Jacks egg chasing song.

I’m certainly talking more about the 80s that the 70s and 60s - when all the songs you’ve mentioned above had petered out, but I’m sure similar stuff went on then as the 70s were just as bad as the 80s for what went on.

When we watch ‘It was OK in the 80s my kids can’t believe what we thought was acceptable/ funny then .

The kids in the Canton made a good deal of noise last night - and unlike the vast majority of our fans they turned up.

They are also the only ones who sing. The rest of the ground are quiet and will often look at you a bit weird if you have a go.

Some of the songs are crap, agreed .. although taking the piss out of the English in the Euros is childish but still funny.. as they would certainly have been letting us know has they won.

It’s still preferable to a morgue of a ground which is what it would be without them

Spot on .

I think it makes me right that 10 players in that starting side were English. It is not a difficult concept although I agree it simply emphasises the idiocy of some of our fans and their anti-English outpourings.

Let me put it another way:

Supporting Cardiff City doesn’t have to be exclusively for Welsh people.
I live in Bristol and have an English wife. I’ve brought our two boys to matches and have to explain to them why silly people are singing anti-English songs, which they find hard to understand. My wife is unlikely to ever come to a match because of this.
They’re both both born in Bristol, but support Cardiff (and Wales).
Having these idiots singing these songs is not only offensive, but also makes Cardiff fans look stupid.
And before anyone comes back with the whole sheep thing, let’s remember that two wrongs don’t make a right.
What happened in the past is completely irrelevant. We should be looking to the future and making our club as appealing to new supporters as possible or would people prefer English born sons of Welshman to support English teams?

I agree, not least as I have (primarily) lived in England since 1977!
I also know a number of fans who are English but fortunate enough to be sons/daughters (and grandchildren) of Welshmen/women who regularly travel to our games and find the anti-English stuff embarrassing.

Exactly. Wouldn’t it be great if every seat in the stadium was filled? So what if the fans have come from further afield! That means less supporters for other clubs!
