Mark_w Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Confession corner. I slag off Cardiff continually on here to get a rise out of Finners. They have a lot of wankers but they're only about my fourth most offensive team in the NPC after Millwall, Leeds, Forest and Derby. I do find the number of red shirts on display in the stands when Cardiff play bloomin' cringeworthy though. Why do you pretend you can't count?

Finnegan Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 No one has said that it's 'all' we have. But it's still important to most, myself included, whether you see it or not. The fans are an important part of any football team and I guarantee the majority of ours care about the 'colour of a t-shirt'. Caring is one thing. Like I said, I'd be a bit annoyed if they changed ours. It'd be cheap commercialism and it'd be unnecessary. But I'd find it no more upsetting than any other of the various ways we've been made to look like a complete ****ing circus of a club over the last few years by wealthy playboys messing about with us. I'd still find the merry go round of managers and the procession of players more embarrassing. I'd still be more annoyed at the "money bags Leicester" taunts (because they're bloody true and that's why we all get shitty about it) then by some spotty chav calling me a "sellout" if I dared to buy a <whatevercolour> shirt. The vitriol given to Cardiff fans over the whole affair is just stupidly over the top and I'd go so far as to turn some of your accusations back around on you. I'm only defending them because they're Welsh? I think it's fair to say some of you are only taking pot shots because it's Cardiff. They're hardly the world's most popular club. Confession corner. I slag off Cardiff continually on here to get a rise out of Finners. I only find it annoying because you do it CONSTANTLY, even when there's really the most tenuous link to doing so. Although I concede my first three years on this website I needed only the slightest whif of a prompt to bring up either Earnie or Koumas. So I suppose I've been there.

Bilo Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Why do you pretend you can't count? Ball sack. Fifth then, added Derby in as an after-thought because they haven't troubled us for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetintedspecs Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Aj1927 on previous threads had made some good points, I think today he was relieved at their win because deep down he knows we're coming for them.

Raw Dykes Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Which is why I've quite publicly defended that nob MK Dons fan on here who gets equally petty stick from people with absolutely no connection to either Wimbledon or Milton Keynes? I don't give a toss about Cardiff fans, I'd like to see the club in the Premiership because it's good for our national side but the support? They've more than their fair share of knuckle-draggers and I can guarantee I've had far more run-ins with pissed up bluebirds on Queen Street or at Cardiff Central on a Saturday night than you have, or Bilo, or most of their harshest critics on here. Some proper nobheads. I just think the mass hysteria about their club colours is pathetic and more than a slight case of glass houses and stones. Like I said, if all you've got to identify your football club or to respect it's history is the colour of a t-shirt your team are wearing to help them tell themselves apart from the opposition on the pitch then you seriously need to get some perspective. I have to agree with Kitchandro. I really don't think you'd appear to be so apathetic about a club drastically changing its colours and badge if it wasn't a Welsh club in question. You argued that there are far worse things happening in modern football, which is fair enough. However, they are largely irrelevant, as those things are happening at pretty much every club in the country. You might as well have brought up war, child abuse or famine as arguments for not getting annoyed at a football club's rebranding. Cardiff's owners have adopted for their club their nation's colours and emblem. If our owners were to do to our club what Cardiff's have done to theirs, LCFC would be playing in white and navy/red with three lions on the crest. I'd be sick to the stomach with this (as I would any other major change to home colours/emblem). I find it hard to believe that you'd be any happier.

Harry - LCFC Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Which is why I've quite publicly defended that nob MK Dons fan on here who gets equally petty stick from people with absolutely no connection to either Wimbledon or Milton Keynes? Don't know how you could do that. I'd never defend MK Dons on anything. Ever. Every time they get a harsh decision against them it pleases me. I have no doubt in my mind that they are the worst club in the UK and they aren't even a "club" IMO. That wonderful word "franchise" always comes to mind when they're mentioned to me. Still, this isn't really relevant to the thread. Just wanted to have another rant at the other FFC because I haven't had one in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only defending them because they're Welsh? I think it's fair to say some of you are only taking pot shots because it's Cardiff. They're hardly the world's most popular club. Some of my accusations? I haven't said anything about you defending them because they're Welsh. I'm certainly not taking pot shots because they're Welsh personally, as someone with family in Wales, who regularly visits the country, I can assure you my comments are not aimed at them because they're Cardiff. In fact I genuinley want them to go up with us given the realistic alternatives. But their fans rolled over far too easily when something that genuinley is important to most football fans was ****ed around with. The 'Walkers Stadium' name and the sponsor on the shirt are not important to us so of course we didn't complain, but if they tried to change the colour of the kit I hope that we'd put up more of a fight, even if you don't. (Edit: I'm aware that wasn't solely aimed at me, but the point still stands). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's taken some skilful shoehorning at times. The other clubs that seriously irritate me such as Millwall won't find any friends on here so it's no fun! There's another poster who I know will bite on their 'soft spot' club, see if you can spot them over the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trav Le Bleu Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 So Mr Leicester City, you think you can win the Championship, overturning my mighty ten point lead do you? Let me assure you this will never happen and I will explain why before I watch you die as you try to escape this pathetic league. First we have changed our team colours to play in the superior red. As any physicist will confrim, red players run faster and your puny Lloyd Dyer shall be made to look like a crippled snail whose slime has dried up in his stupid "traditional" blue strip. You feeble Midlanders and your quaint adherence to petty customs and supposed values; it shall be your undoing! Secondly, we have vastly superior age! Our team is mature, like a ripe caerphilly, built on grey-hairred wisdom. With a never ending supply of Horlicks and zip-up tartan slippers at our disposal, we can keep our veterans going without fear of injury overcoming our many 30+ year olds. Thirdly, we've been here before and we know what to do in this position and we'll do it again! Lastly, we have luck on our side, as was clear from our last meeting and as you know, luck never runs out! Our fortunate sequences of 1-0 and 2-1 victories scraped in the face of stern, but futile opposition will march on to the end of the season, whereas your reliance on "skill" and "tactical nous" will be your undoing. I'm telling you all this because I'm not in the slightest bit worried, not at all, even in the tiniest detail. No Mr Leicester City, I expect you to die!

Deucalion Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Just two quick points. Firstly, it wasn't the Raksriaksorns who named our stadium after a sponsor. Even though it doesn't seem like it, Walkers Stadium is actually a sponsors name. Secondly, to answer the question about whether people care about promotion or winning the league, let me pose you this. If you could take second now or gamble on a 50/50 on being 1st or 3rd, what would you take? Personally I would take second. Thirdly, the Cardiff fan's display of confidence in his side's ability to finish top and not 'bottle it' seems born of extreme anxiety to me. Who is he trying to convince? Us or himself?

Raw Dykes Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Re: Stadium name. It doesn't affect us at all. It's always had a sponsor's name. Are we supposed to have some sort of attachment to any particular sponsor? It'd be a different matter if we were still at Filbo and that was rebranded, but the stadium we're in has never been anything other than a modern identikit with an advert for a name. It's our modern identikit with an advert for a name, but that's all it's ever been, and probably all it ever will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morris1234 Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 I don't know who I am. Ive had a lot to drink. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money but our owners do. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills ; skills I have acquired over the last few years in the play offs, Skills that make supporting our REDbirds a nightmare for our fans. If you let me have my forum moment now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not make more random threads about how I'm not bothered by leicester. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and we will bottl...I mean kill you! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callabinho Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Hate to rain on the parade but, this ten point lead will be very difficult to catch! Whilst I hope we can I just can't see Cardiff massively slipping up. I am confident that we can maintain second place though, but if we can achieve first what an achievement it would be!

HitchinFox Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Aww. Bless Cardiff. The last time that club mattered was in 1962. Maybe this year will finally be the one that will allow them to get rid of that massive chip on their collective shoulders. It must be the size of a brick following Swansea's promotion two years ago. Especially after what that joke of a human being Sam Hammam said. Good luck to them to be honest. They've been the best team in the Championship this year and have come away from tricky away games like today's (and us) with all three points. If they bottle it - great. If they don't - well, we'll just have to make sure we go up with them in second spot. Lets be honest, it is theirs to lose. And we'll be watching. Very closely.

LCFC_FAN_1995 Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Yeah Because, the fans owned the club... And sold it to Malaysians so we could have our kit colour Changed. HAHAHAHAHAHA OH out of curiosity where do your owners come from? What steps have they taken to Brand Leicester ? How many names had your stadium had? Were you against your club spending Millions on players to achieve premier league football? Can't see our club changing our crest or home kit colour though can you? What's funny is your so up their arses you're not bothered, I bet you've got the kits haven't you? I don't know what's more of a joke, doing what the owners did for money, or you not being bothered.

MooseBreath Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Cardiff's owners have adopted for their club their nation's colours and emblem.

I'd be sick to the stomach with this (as I would any other major change to home colours/emblem). I find it hard to believe that you'd be any happier. King Power is already a blue brand otherwise our owners probably would consider a change of colour. I think people are taking this far too seriously. We take the piss out of Cardiff being Redbirds in the same way as we take the piss out of Derby for being sheepshaggers. I don't think anyone is suggesting that a majority of Derby fans actually have sex with sheep. It's more of a joke. I think if it came down to it most Leicester fans would probably take a change of colour if it meant significant investment and the chance to see high quality football down at the KP.
