Thread: Bristol City My Arse

  1. #1

    Bristol City My Arse

    I find it laughable when people try to suggest Bristol and not Swansea are our main rivals

    It's actually quite embarrassing

    And it makes us look so pathetic when we try to pretend it means more to them than us

    It does mean more to Swansea though. Always has. Not saying it doesn’t mean much to Cardiff, but it means a helluva lot more to Swansea.

    My view is it means just as much to us as fans but the club is arrogant about the fixture in some ways or on the flipside seems to totally freeze

    I think losing a close game is fair enough , it happens in local derby's all over the country

    But lying down and getting battered is not acceptable

    The fans who try to deflect another defeat with the claim Bristol City is the big one are clearly on a wind up or in need of a doctor

    Agree with that.Cardiff just didn’t turn up today. And that’s unacceptable.

    If it’s one or the other I’d put it down to constantly freezing on the day. I don’t think there’s any doubt it means more to them. They are obsessed.

    Sorry for not fitting in with your version of how I should be thinking. I’m sure I would do if I were your age and was from a place where Swansea was much nearer than Bristol. The trouble is I’m from a place which is equidistant from the two cities and I never saw us play Swanseain a league game until I was twenty three despite being someone who went to most home games from the age of ten onwards. Swansea weren’t good enough to play us in the league during my formative years- using your thinking, I should have Newport as our main rivals, we never used to play them in the league when I was growing up and they’re much closer to Cardiff than Swansea is.

    They didn’t show up at ours either though for once, unusual.

    Re: Bristol City My Arse

    I have never really understood why at a Wales England rugger game there is pure and utter hatred aimed at England, It has taken a life of its own over the last thirty years. I believe Swansea has taken that mindset onto Cardiff as it's a rivalry for Cardiff, but much deeper for Swansea.

    I think that the hatred at Sunderland for Newcastle and Pompey for Southampton is the same

    I definitely think that our lot hate Swansea as much as they hate us wether it's appropriate in 2024 is debatable but Bristol City are definitely down the pecking order

    You very very occasionally speak to a fellow Cardiff fan who says he doesn't dislike Swansea or admires the way they play football or they are a fellow Welsh team etc etc but I take that with a pinch of salt

    Re: Bristol City My Arse

    For me it's Bristol but not by much. I didn't see us play Swansea as a kid but remember a few matches against Bristol which were edgy to say the least.

    Similar to Bristol for years I haven't known a Swansea fan personally or even an acquaintance until someone from work moved here few months back. He's a Swansea/ Liverpool fan that joins in more with the Liverpool chat than anything else. I don't expect much banter.

    I've worked briefly in both Swansea and Bristol, for obvious reasons the Swansea fans were far more outspoken of their dislike for our club.

    Most were lovely people that I got on with whilst there and It did strike me that a few really disliked the city itself because of the funding it gets. I wasn't too aware of this and I'm sure there are other places that would feel that way about Swansea.

    Overall my opinion is both are pretty crap derbies, 40 miles isn't ideal, particularly for the size of the clubs and the reach they get. I'd imagine if you lived somewhere closer to Swansea you would get a completely different experience though.

    But it's what we have and we should embrace it more. Perhaps we would all love it more if they weren't so good at them.

    3/4 derby wins, only 2 goals conceded. I'd have laughed my cock off if that was suggested pre season.

    For a tiny minority Bristol City might be the team they really want to beat but it really is a tiny minority

    I accept people have different opinions but when we lose a local Derby so convincingly and the talk is oh it's Swanseas Cup final , they hate us more than they love their own team and the Bristol are our biggest rivals story gets trotted out it provides endless laughs for the jacks

    It's embarrassing and it appears you are joining in

    What right do you have to tell people how they should feel and think?

    Dominated South Welsh football? They were in the dungeon with us for most of the time. We beat them in the PL. They won the League Cup against Bradford. We lost on penalties to LIVERPOOL. AND we got to an FA Cup final. Get a ****ing grip.

    Re: Bristol City My Arse

    Apart from this message board I've never seen it discussed anywhere else at all. Probably shows how old this message board is and how old most users are. Nobody under 35 uses message boards.

    And anyone under 60 would say swansea straight away.
