Regular CCMB updates that have disappeared
I was just thinking of some of the regular updates we used to have on here over the years that seem to have disappeared:
Loan Watch
NigelBlues match reports
Deep in the bowels
Didn't we used to have a photographer too, who took decent photos during the game?
We've still got TOBH's "six decades of..." going strong, but it would be good to see some more regular content like the above. Have I missed any?

Mark Kennedy's diary - one of the best.
Was Deep in the Bowels by Penarth Kev? My mind's getting scrambled...

Jon Candy was it? Didn't he have to stop because of some copyright thing with the club or the league?

Nigelblues Match reports-He'd tell how much he had spent on watching the City away and then he's give a total up until that game :shrug:

He did. Some really good pics, the club should've given him a job.

Ah yes. Mark Kennedy's diary was excellent.

Re: Regular CCMB updates that have disappeared
I do like Eric the Half a Bee and all his stats.

Re: Regular CCMB updates that have disappeared
The ‘random West Indian lady’ thread only required one update but it was a particular favourite as the poster left the thread on a knife edge for days :hehe:

His comment about two goals either end of Roath Park lake and not losing a ball in the Water under Warnockball was class.

The fella who wrote it no longer follows Cardiff City or has any interest in it which is a shame - it was the best thing ever put on here

Loan Watch - That is Loramski, posted as recently as today. Maybe we don't have so many loans on the go
Nigel is still going strong, just not writing the reports that at one point were the backbone of the board/site
Deep in the Bowels was Kev, RIP
Jon Candy took the pics until the club stopped him, it bothered the FL that someone, for free, was giving fans what they wanted to see.

Probably one of the best parody accounts ever.

Indeed
and how the hell Nigel wrote those match reports when
1. he normally only got to the games at least 10 minutes after they started as he was having a drink
2. he had normally had at least 5 or 6 pints and his attention to detail was superb
One of the best is Nige

That trip to Upton Park when they threw all the fruit at us. NigelBlues did a brilliant review of that. They all ended up in a pub in Slough when their bus broke down.....or something. Reminds me how passionate I was myself back then.

Re: Regular CCMB updates that have disappeared
Yep the tyre blew out on our bus and we spent a couple of hours in a Slough pub whilst the one man band played city-related song requests to his biggest ever crowd! Probably my favourite away trip

Re: Regular CCMB updates that have disappeared
Didn't Penarth Kev (author of deep in the bowels) sadly pass away a few years ago?

He did.
Those deep in the bowels posts were brilliant and sorely missed.
RIP Kev.

Re: Regular CCMB updates that have disappeared
My twice weekly laugh at the Wurzles thread had a bit of life in it perhaps i can start it again next week.
I was on that bus to Upton park one of the legendary City away trips of my life.
It was from the Landsdowne pub turns out Roger who ran the pub/bus was a season ticket holder down the Jacks in their 80s 1st division days.

Dr Lecter's tales of having Baker in his dungeon were brilliant.
Steve R and Mrs Steve R were funny.
So too Colonel Carediffi.

My favourite was, after trawling all of Europe's major leagues, he came up with Wolves (1st) home to Shrewsbury (23rd) in league 1.
To be fair, he still gave a 400 word write up on it.

Re: Regular CCMB updates that have disappeared
A bit niche, but I can remember a series of posts by splott David where he was going on about some genetically modified flu strain in Ukraine, that was definitely going to kill everyone in Europe

Re: Regular CCMB updates that have disappeared
I even miss Cedric's predictions of defeat for the coming fixtures.

I'd forgotten about that! If memory serves, it was a betting strategy that ignored value and just sought out home bankers, dressed up with loads of pseudo-science.

Aye. Didn't he supposedly lose a wedge on a home banker once, gaining immediate and deserved ridicule? I think Uncle Bob had more success with Katiypour.
