Canton Stand Last Night
Usual anti Swansea stuff, that ‘Hymns ‘n’ Arias’ rubbish even had an airing :shrug: a few boos during the taking the knee, although well drowned out by the applause. The thing that baffled me was the ridiculing (in an empty stadium) of the Sutton fans, I’d like to think it was ironic....... but is irony in their repertoire?

I thought the boos may have been for the opposition not taking the knee although I could be wrong. We’re there boos on Saturday?
One clown near me shouted get on with the football. FFS can’t they just shut up for 10 seconds that’s all it is.

Surely the person is allowed an opinion? Maybe change your name to Kim Jong un

Strange how someone who makes the argument that people are free to say what they like then calls someone Kim Jong Un when he gives his opinion about a dickhead at a football match.

The fact you’re user name is Stan Butler shows you are stuck in the 70s. Perhaps Eddie Booth would be a better fit.

Same on Saturday with the anti anyone chanting.
The “is that all you take away” is embarrassing when in a half empty stadium.
I didn’t go last night -
So is it fair to criticise what is being chanted if you did not attend the game yourself?

I've always found the anti-Swansea stuff bizarre when we're not playing them, even more so when we're away. And the Hyms 'n' Arias stuff is just embarrassing. Our repertoire is pretty poor these days and. It's a long way from 'we're only here coz we're single' away on Valentine's day a while ago (Derby?).
Your comments didn't go unnoticed or unappreciated BTW - same goes to TOBW.

Sure that was Luton. Or at least happened at Luton many moons ago.
I was there. My ex wasn't.

Re: Canton Stand Last Night
Having checked we played Luton on 14 Feb 2006 and Derby on 14 Feb 2017 so probably chanted at both.

Re: Canton Stand Last Night
2006, time flies.
A full 9 years before a certain poster on here who labelled me a Jack had registered an account on here.
Wonder if he was there?

"Is that all you take away?" sung by fans who never go away. :hehe:

First of all we only have your word for it that ‘you were there’. You are a serial fantasist, so I very much doubt it. Secondly the date was 12 years before you told me that I was Mehmet Dalman, so before you start accusing people of ‘labelling’ others unfairly, how about practicing what you preach. In my book someone who constantly criticises every aspect of a football club, obviously has very little allegiance, if any, towards that club. Therefore my assumption that you are a Jack is entirely reasonable. You obviously have nothing better to do anyway, whoever you support but its very obvious that it isn't Cardiff City.

Tell us more about lasts night's win where we didn't play one long ball and beat that solid League 2 outfit.

Re: Canton Stand Last Night
The iPhone came out the following year. It's hard to believe we were all playing 'snake' at halftime on a Nokia (with removable fascia if you were posh) whist the H/T scores were read out over the PA system.

Madness.
While not being too long ago though it seemed a simpler time back then. I certainly enjoyed the football a bit more.
We drew that game 3-3. We should have had a penalty at the end. Think it might have been Koumas brought down but the ref bottled it.

The more we criticise and even boo when anti Swansea and the like rubbish is being sang the better. It’s hard for me to understand the mentally of people who sing about paedophilia. I don’t want to be associated with them, wish they’d disappear and find somewhere else to peddle their idiocy. They are not supporting The City in any way, shape or form with their rubbish.

Re: Canton Stand Last Night
I remember seeing a cartoon once where two Foreign Legionnaires were chatting with one saying to the other 'will they ever let me forget?' whilst a biplane trailing a banner flies overhead saying 'Jonny Price wets the bed'. This board feels like that bloody cartoon sometimes.
BTW name was changed to protect the innocent!

Re: Canton Stand Last Night
Wait until the stand realises at the Jacks home game that the Swansea first choice keeper is called Benda
-
Re: Canton Stand Last Night
Cringeworthy as per, really unimaginative. Get behind the team for gawds sake.
What was particularly embarrassing were some of our English academy lads watching on in dismay with their families as the canton aired anti English stuff throughout the second half.
At half time in the Concourse you can really see how brain dead some of our younger fans are. Sniffed up on a Tuesday night.
-
Re: Canton Stand Last Night
Definitely some cringeworthy chants last night, especially the ones having a go at Sutton’s support. Didn’t get in the stadium till 20 minutes in, due to queuing at the ticket office, but not surprised the taking the knee was booed, as I also heard boos Saturday.
To be fair, despite the low numbers last night, the Canton in the second half did sing non stop.

I find it particularly funny that you appear to gauge a person's level of support by the number of years they have been contributing to this board :hehe::hehe: What an idiot. I have been following City since before the internet was invented. You probably stumbled across CCMB one drunken night, when you were at a loose end and decided to try to start winding up and depressing other users with your ‘cutting edge’ analysis of all things City. I refuse to be beaten down by people like you - after all, thats what you want isn’t it. I came on this board to spread a bit of positivity and engage in positive chat with like minded individuals. You and your ‘mates’ obviously don't like it but thats your problem, not mine. There are far more reasonable posters on this board than people like you.

Let's get one thing straight here. My cutting edge analysis of City, as you call it, is a damn lot closer to reality than yours.
If you genuinely see great things in a one goal win at home for a very strong City team against a team that has played one game in League 2 then I am happy for you, honestly.
Positivity is one thing, and I will admit that I need a lot more on here especially, but your blind positivity is off the scale. You'd enthusiastically applaud a City defender smashing in an own goal for trying his best.

Oohh, hit a nerve have I ? Cutting edge was in inverted commas, I was being sarcastic. Your analysis is basically biased drivel. Once again, you have summarised the contents of my post to suit your own agenda. You continually misrepresent what I say - where did I say I saw great things in last nights performance. You are not interested in what people say anyway, you just keep pedalling the same old rubbish - Wilson was useless, the manager is useless, the team are useless, the owner and board are useless blah de blah de blah. For gods sake give it a rest. PS. If you think you need more positivity on the board, you are going about it in a very strange way.

Re: Canton Stand Last Night
Didn't go last night but thinking back to Saturday:
The only anti-English stuff heard was "it's coming home/you fecked it up" which in truth they did with 6 out of 7 games at home and being 3rd best team in Europe on FIFA stats - the only one acting as a host nation and in the weakest group to start with.
I'm sure our English academy kids can manage and just as long as Canton enjoy it being sung back to them when England do eventually win a trophy.
Regarding our Hymns and Arias, anyone singing that should be banned for a month until they learn the lesson. With all the different home fans and different away fans over the years it's likely to hit home for someone in a really nasty way when they should be supported instead.

Booing anti swansea songs and others you don't like haha.
How did you and your circle of nerds on here cope in the dark days of football?
All clubs sing about their rivals regardless of if they are playing them.
Christ half of you on this thread must have had a good few layers of cotton wool wrapped around you growing up.
Good guess where the offended by everything snowflakes came from.
I wouldn't want to be in the trenches with some on here.
I can see it now as the bombs drop on the battle field a few of you would be writing complaint letters that the explosions are to loud and there's no toilet and packed lunches provided.

Re: Canton Stand Last Night
I don't think there's anything wrong with a bit of it's coming home you fecked it up for these first few games of the season, God knows we'd be getting sung at if they'd won it and it was only a month ago.
The anti Swansea stuff's stupid when we're not playing them though, and the least said about the hymns and arias song the better.

No need for the hymns and arias song but other anti swansea stuff have been sung for decades even when we ain't playing them and i for one see nothing wrong with it if they want to sing it.

Not at all. You rate yourself a fair bit if you think you have.
I haven't said half of those things.
I don't think Wilson is as good as many rate him to be (I said this at the start of last season by the way before his price dropped by almost half).
Our manager is a solid manager at this level but his style is not an entertaining one. Mehmet tells us he wants a more entertaining style, which Im sure the fans are crying out for, then employs Neil Harris and Mick McCarthy.
The team are decent enough and I don't think will be in trouble this term. Upper mid table probably the realistic finish for us if Moore stays fit for the majority and gets close to the number of goals he got last season. We're not promotion contenders for me. For you they are. Fair enough, opinions differ.
As for the board I will give Tan little credit for anything other than putting his money in. I think he lacks a great deal of football knowledge which is evidenced in thinking that Choo and Dalman are sufficient to make this club successful. I think he has used us as his play thing and once he realised he couldn't do what he liked with the club has lost interest in us and hardly ever attends any more (this was happening pre Covid).
That about it really. We will be the Championship average club until Tan realises we need more in the boardroom and more football knowledge with a clear vision.
What parts of that do you disagree with?

However with little football knowledge hes overseen by far the most successful teams with 2 PL promotions and including a Football League Championship.
I think we are looking at mid table at the moment.
I think Tan or his family will be at the club years and I reckon at some point we will go back up.
The key this time is a plan to stay there.
To be fair we far from disgraced ourselves last time. Big if but if it wasnt for that abysmal referee and linesman v Chelsea we may have stayed up.

I think we will go back up eventually and hope we do. I just think the club are missing a trick by not employing football people at board level. Maybe Tan and the board know that would mean an overhaul and don't want that. I'm not sure for the reasoning behind it.
As I said to dml I need to be more positive. Showing frustration on here isn't great but it is better backing the team for 90 minutes and posting here than showing it at a game.
I think we'll be in limbo for a bit yet in the Championship so I just need to learn to enjoy it for what it is. I am a bit more optimistic in person, not much, but I'm sure I am a bit more positive .

That’s how it works. Used to be free speech on all sides , although that’s long gone of course.
