BFTG - Cardiff

[sandman]

When Brian came back the likes of RoyalBleurgh and the other cretins were banging on about how we were supposedly going to go back to 4-4-2 and become direct, now they're moaning because they want 4-4-2 and for the team to be direct.

Just seen the equaliser on TV. that tall bloke clearly handled the ball. incredible the ref missed it.

[RoyalJack]

Sitting and reading some of these quotes about how far we have fallen as a club????

30 years ago and for 100 years before, playing poor football on poor pitches against poor opposition in front of a poor amount of fans compared to the last twenty years playing in front of a bigger crowd in a better stadium albeit on a similar standard pitch in the winter(fantastic in the warmer non rugby months) with three of the last ten years playing and beating some of the elite teams in the country!!!

My how we have fallen.

which tall bloke?

[Extended-Phenotype]

If he'd just said "the tall guy" would people be bothered? Why did he need to point out that he was tall?

Because tall is a fcuking sporting attribute?

Jesus christ, I know PC isn't cool anymore but ffs

[Pepe the Horseman]

I think you need to calm down.

[genome]

Most of HNA needs to calm down really

There's no need to start analysing the history of the football club over the last ten years after a 1-1 draw with a side challenging for the play offs

[Victor Meldrew]

We really miss someone like Jimmy Kebe. We've been awful since he left us.

Would that be Jimmy Kebe, the tall...........................................................................................................................................winger?
Yes we needed him to even up the sides so that both we and Cardiff had tall.....................................................................wingers.
Is that o.k. Old Biscuit or is it wingerist?.

Agree with you 100%, Jack. We may not win as much as I would like, but then, we never have! If the choice of opposition is between Bolton, Wolves etc. and the likes of Workington etc., I know who I would prefer, and it wouldn't be the latter.

[Ian Royal]

Just seen our goal. That was a terrible and totally half-hearted ball in by John. Well done to Kermie for doing something with it and a nice tidy finish from McCleary.

:lol: Just seen our goal. That was a terrible and totally half-hearted ball in by John. Well done to Kermie for doing something with it and a nice tidy finish from McCleary.

You'll have a pop at John for anything.

John - I'd like to see him here permanently, I think Brian could get him grounded and see him effective

Clearly.

When you finally reverse out of McDermott's backside, take a look in the mirror. You are the cretin if you don't realise that it's perfectly possible and indeed normal to play 4-4-2 without resorting to McDermott's hoofball. In fact McDermott's ridiculously negative one up front hasn't prevented the even more pointless hoof it up to Kermogant who flicks on to .......... no one.

[RoyalBlue]

Just seen the equaliser on TV. that tall bloke clearly handled the ball. incredible the ref missed it.

Did you also see that he had to do (and was allowed to by our 'defence') an awful lot more after the handball before they scored?

McDermott and his apologists are now getting desperate whining about handballs and penalties not given as the cause of our problems. After moaning about the ref McDermott then assured Dellor and Williams that he wasn't moaning about the ref, only to go off on another one about penalties given and not given by refs.

[Nameless]

Bizarre that anyone thinks we play 'hoofball', whatever that is.

And bizarre that anyone can think that a goal scored as a result of an absolutely blatent infringement isn't worth at least a mention when debating whether the result reflected the game. I agree to some extent that the defence should and could have done more to stop Ameobi but the entire passage of play came from an illgel play and should have been stopped.
Obviously that won't be of any concern to the professional whiners amongst us....

[sandman]

Hoofball is just an idea that small twisted minds like RoyalBleurgh have grabbed a hold of and convinced themselves is a thing because it suits their strange prejudice.

Similarly there is no such thing as a "McDermott apologist" because, much like Steve Coppell and John Madejski there is nothing for him or anyone else to apologise for. There are things I disagree with him about, that includes persisting with Vydra when it's not working and not calling back Samuel but he deserves respect for everything he's done for this club and the good times he's brought here in his various roles at the club.

What he doesn't deserve is the sort of personal abuse he gets from people like RoyalBleurgh.

this, this in fcuking buckets

RoyalBlue seems to be a strange self loathing creature. He hates Madejski even though under his Chairmanship RFC had it's finest 20 years in it's long (very long) history of mediocrity. Of course Mr Mad made mistakes. But jesus, he's made some great decisions. Really great decisions.

But alas that's not good enough for RoyalBlue who loves hating the club he supports. Very odd

.If a random football fan read the Team Board they would think Reading fans were the biggest bunch of spoilt, self delusional ingrates, with no sense of their own history or reality.

They'd think we were Brighton fans.

[The Cube]

Really should just have described Ameobi as "the guy who looked like a basketball player" given that he was (a) tall and (b) allowed to use his hands.

Also, the goalscorer was offside. Only by a few inches but still offside.

Is it really racist though to say tall black guy?

[genome]

The only people deeming it racist and offensive are the people trying to call out oldebiscuit for claiming it's offensive

He even said the words "it's not offensive"
