FT: CARDIFF CITY 3 - 0 SWANSEA CITY. Match thread

[Dorcus]

I think he’s been excellent.

He's been brilliant today! One of our better players

[WJ99mobile]

Was really unsure about Ralls but think he’s been great today too

[NYCBlue]

3-0 up. Fifteen minutes to go and now I feel nervous. Weird.

I'm not nervous anymore. I'm not nervous anymore!

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Shitty Swansea City went to Rome to see the Pope.....

[Kind of Blue]

Shitty Swansea City went to Rome to see the Pope.....

And this is what he said “**** OFF!”

The jacks played like we have in the fixture for the most part over the last 10+ years. Last min Chopra winner, Rambo/Bellamy away, and the evening game last season, that’s up there in the derby since ‘08.

[light up the darkness]

I thought we showed a lot of character and resilience to the second half especially. JBs tried to drag us into a physical confrontation but the players stood up well.
Great result.
The new guy could have been given two minutes of injury time to let him get a feel for proper support. He’ll be howling.

[WJ99mobile]

That is exactly what we needed this season

Onwards and upwards

[Dorcus]

That is exactly what we needed this season

This could be the start of something big!

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

LOVE IT!!!

[Hilts]

Tanner tries hard but is a properly crap footballer. That cross then was just awful

Clueless.

[Joe Gillis]

Chambers did well for Robbo's first goal, deserves a lot of credit for that

[Hilts]

Brilliant performance from all the players and massive credit to Riza to having them up for it. Didn't give them any time and they completely folded.

Also big shout out to the young non players at the end particularly the one laughing at Harry Darling signalling 3 nil.

[Hilts]

I have been amongst his biggest critics. A top performance.

[Bluebirdman Of Alcathays]

Very nice indeed. A managerial red card in both games this year; doubt that's happened much. New tradition!

[WJ99mobile]

Clueless.

I don’t doubt he had a good game today overall

But he’s a crap footballer

[PontBlue]

Our midfield three dominated that game from 30 minutes onwards.

[PontBlue]

I wondered who that was.

[Splott-light...]

"they don't like it up 'em" personified, i've watched Swansea a few times this season (when we've been the early kick-off and they are the 3pm kick-off) and the only success they have is when teams allow them to play, drag them in to an up close physical battle and they fall apart, today was no different, a great result but they aren't as good as their league position would lead you to believe, albeit only 7 points ahead of us..

did a job on them, love to see it!

edit: they also make way too many defensive mistakes when tapping it around at the back, i've seen teams do similar to our second goal a few times now.

[Former Labour leader]

Well done City
Was unusually hopeful about this game. We have been playing much better in recent weeks.
Robinson's goals showed the importance of a striker. He has been missed last 3 1/2 games.
Hope he stays fit.

Yeah.

Folded under pressure against Portsmouth and again today.

Our central midfield totally dominated theirs.

He came on didn't he?

[Splott-light...]

He came on didn't he?

yep, he had around 10 minutes plus extra time..

[jeepster]

He came on didn't he?

Yes he did,we certainly took to them could not cope with us.

[PontBlue]

He did.

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

That's double figures for the season for Robinson isn't it?
