I agree. Actually in my 40+ years of following us we’ve largely been shit to watch other than under Dave Jones. It was lots of fun winning the old 4th division and even watching some of Lennie Lawrence’s stuff in league 1, but let’s face it we’ve never been a team for the purist.Quote:

This season my expectations are lower but i'm surprised at how bad they play. Seems like basic football has passed by many of these players and the quality of the whole team has dropped a notch lower. I can understand the frustration of those who pay hard earned money to see a very poor side somehow scrape by.
You clearly appreciate Tan getting Cardiff up the leagues because you've started going to a lot of games. Yeah, ok so you're not putting money "directly" into Tan's pocket, but getting your mate to but a ticket then paying your mate for the ticket is a creative loophole I'll give you that.Quote:

Just some of those I remember ranting on about not supporting the club, I bet they're all back down there "indirectly" not supporting the club.
What a boycott this is turning into, going to games but yeah, that doesn't really count because you didn't pay for it directly! And you still try to come over all "principled". Principled? Be ****ed. You're one of us mate, a bluebird supporting Tan's club. Your bum on the seat is the same bum on the seat it was when you were a kid and you weren't putting money directly into Bob Grogan's pocket because your parents were buying the tickets - you were a supporter then, right? So what's the difference now?
What a boycott that was, achieved nothing and you have been going to games since the rebrand. Well done on 7 years of **** all.
Ooooh, such venom! I love it!Quote:

Mask has slipped Mr Principled. Give my regards to all the other "boycotters"Quote:

It seems to really irritate you that there were those of us who opposed Tan's rebrand while you supported it. You seem very bitter about that. Weird.Quote:

So you go to games on your mates spare ticket?
Can understand people who walked away and fair play to those who stuck to their principles. Justifying the fact you go because your mate foots the bill is brilliant though.
Perfectly happy with my position dude. I didn't call any fellow fan a name, didn't make fun of old ladies in a stadium and quickly backtrack because you'd upset the wrong people. The Lone Backtracker is what I'll call you from now on. Although you're not alone, you're all at it "I'm never going down there again" when all the while you've been going down there. Don't blame you, and glad you are one of us again. You just need to admit it to yourself.Quote:

I’m actually bored at games at the moment. We play long ball football with people that don’t like long balls and then keep it on the ground for our less able players
Two elderly ladies had red wigs on at a game on TV. TLG gets all venomous (he likes the venom) and makes some ill-thought remaks. But one of the mums has a son who posts on here and is a bit bigger and harder than TLG expected. TLG suddenly didn't like venom anymore and I'm not sure I've seen a finer grovelling act on the internet ever.Quote:

You're not very bright, are you? Unable to read or understand plain English, it seems. Let's see if you can get it this time:Quote:

That hasn't happened yet. I haven't returned to support the club. I almost certainly won't feel comfortable doing that until Tan has departed. I have been to a number of games since the re-brand was reversed, though.
Justifying going to a football match? Seriously?Quote:

Do you mean all of the other people who boycotted the club over re-brand? If so, you're hopelessly wrong (again). Of the people I know personally who fall into that category, some started going again regularly once the re-brand was reversed. Some go occasionally. Some completely lost the habit and never go at all. And some are now dead.Quote:
