Re: Craig Bellamy isn't a Cardiff City fan...
Non story. Always been known he’s a Liverpool fan I thought. And he may not be a Cardiff City Football Club fan, but he’s definitely a fan of Cardiff as in the city, and the people. That’s all that matters really.
Never really buy players as fans anyway. They know as much about what it’s like to be a fan, as we know about what it’s like to be professional footballers.

Re: Craig Bellamy isn't a Cardiff City fan...
Always thought he was a Liverpool fan who sort of looked out for our scores.
Twice joined us though and did coach for a bit so I'm sure he cares a bit but he won't on Saturday, we can guess that Connor.

Re: Craig Bellamy isn't a Cardiff City fan...
Someone will dig it up, the photograph of the big smile on his face, when Ben Turner scores against Liverpool at Wembley.
And he’s on the pitch, playing for Liverpool :hehe:

Re: Craig Bellamy isn't a Cardiff City fan...
He’s a mercenary Scouser that piggy backed on our club for his own gain.
-
Re: Craig Bellamy isn't a Cardiff City fan...
He's about as much a Cardiff City fan as Gareth Bale
Cardiff born but no real interest in their hometown club
They were both away and playing for other clubs at a young age , it happens

I read an interview with him where he talked about this he said, Cardiff had given so much that he was pleased when they scored :hehe:

Imagine feeling this negatively about a group of people and still spending your life and your own money supporting them :hehe:

Craig Bellamy had such little interest in his hometown club that he twice dropped down a division to play for us.

Re: Craig Bellamy isn't a Cardiff City fan...
Didn't he leave us to join Liverpool after his first spell? Pretty sure he stated he couldn't refuse rejoining his boyhood club then

Exactly but Roberts decides it is important enough to bring up in his interview - what a knob and will just lead to increased hostility to him on Saturday - why drag Bellamy into it when it was no secret anyway?? Type of person you wouldn't want in the trenches with you

He probably wasn’t growing up like 1000’s of others in South Wales in the 80’s as we were so bad. No doubt the club has grown on him by playing for us and realising the importance of your roots. Conor Roberts always struck me as a right JB who surprisingly I don’t rate at all

Impressive how they maintain the chip on their shoulder even after going on to become professional footballers. I remember Joe Rodon going on about how Cardiff couldn't "claim" Gareth Bale, despite Bale being born and raised in Cardiff!
Bellamy has a clear affinity for the city and I don't really understand the "mercenary" complaints in this thread

but back to the post, footballers do this for a living and move away from cardiff early in life, they won't have the same affinity with their hometown club that we do.
Funny though that after meeting Bellamy the first thought in this jacks mind was to use it as a negative towards cardiff. Talk about an inferiority complex

Don’t agree with this at all. Many players who join their local club from school have been known to actually stand on the terraces and support the team prior to joining. Why wouldn't they know what it is like to be a fan ? That is why players coming to the end of their careers quite often end up at their hometown club.

He was on loan here from Man City so didn't ‘leave’ us. He went back at the end if the loan. He was due to come back but Liverpool stepped in and offered him another crack at the Prem. Why wouldn't he join them in those circumstances ?

Utter rubbish. What did he gain ? Left Man City to come here on loan, then left Liverpool to come here on contract. Do you think we were paying him as much as them !! The only gainers were Cardiff City - we went up with him here the second time.

Re: Craig Bellamy isn't a Cardiff City fan...
He is a Liverpool fan ( as loads of welsh people his age are ), its not a secret, but the 1st result ( after Liverpools ) he looks for is ours :thumbup:
his autobiography is a great read, a fascinating character and one that sums up the mindset of elite sportspeople and how it can often go too far
He didnt need to come back to Cardiff the 2nd time, the 1st worked well for him and his family, the 2nd time was to try and finish the job and get us promoted
He is a city fan to me :thumbup:

I wasn't knocking him for going I was just using that as an example of him telling everyone he supported Liverpool

Re: Craig Bellamy isn't a Cardiff City fan...
This is such a non story, he's just making a joke and saying he was relieved to find out that his boss wasn't a proper Cardiff City fan because he'd get loads of shit if he was. It's not Roberts being OBSESSED with or SLATING Cardiff.
Also a Welsh fan friend of a friend lost his wife recently and Roberts found out and got in touch with him via Twitter private message to send his condolences and a supportive message which says a lot more about his character than if he's a bit of a shithouse on the pitch or doesn't like Cardiff because he's a Swansea fan

Re: Craig Bellamy isn't a Cardiff City fan...
Connor Roberts is a knob and a liability.
I'd genuinely rather Gunter play for Wales over him.
What a great idea to stoke Cardiff Swansea rivalries just before the World Cup.

Yes, I'm sure that the majority of these guys, most without a GCSE to their name, would walk into jobs at Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan if football went tits up.

to be fair if anybody's stoked by that then it's best they don't leave the house at all in case something upsets them

Well if you could say that of anyone he'd probably be in good company with the likes of Lee Bowyer, John Terry, Wayne Rooney and a few others that could be mentioned. (allegedly)

Can't stand Conner Roberts as a player. Don't really understand this story or WTF the point of it is. Bellamy is a Cardiff legend.

Re: Craig Bellamy isn't a Cardiff City fan...
Bellamy, as one of the best players in the Premier League managed to engineer a move to Cardiff |City when he could have played virtually anywhere on higher wages. Even if he isn't a Cardiff City fan he played for us and that's good enough for me.

Yep, compared to the likes of Bale he is basically Dai Hunt.

Pretty sure he came back to Cardiff to try and patch up his marriage?
Either way it’s clear he does have a love for the City even though he’s a Liverpool fan?
Don’t see an issue personally something about nothing
-
Re: Craig Bellamy isn't a Cardiff City fan...
"who's army.. Bell army"
he's a good lad, clearly loved his time here and scored that belter of a goal at the Liberty (Bothroyd and Ramsey assist) to win 1-0
people have short memories, or a negative mindset, maybe both

Cardiff weren’t interested in Bale when he was younger, so he looked elsewhere.

We let Bellamy go when he was at the club as a youngster telling him he was to small to make it as a professional footballer
