" CONFESSION TIME.............. "

Where is the most unlikely place you have come unstuck at the football???

Mine was Exeter in the 80s. It was couple of weeks after we had been to Pompey and more than held our own, and we thought we were chocolate. On way down to Exeter, stopped off in Taunton for some proper cider, get to the game late and 15 of us go in their end thinking its a doddle. After a little City song, bang bang my nose is spread over my face and somehow Im leaning on the goal post pissing with blood. Stewards and police then round us up (thank f**k! lol) and escort us into the grandstand to be with rest of City! Cant see them doing that nowadays eh? :ayatollah:

Wrexham for the FA Premier Cup Final in 1998 (I think). I took my 2 boys who were very young at the time.

After the game I walked back to my car which was parked in a street full of what can only be discribed as Wrexham hooligans. They started shouting abuse and stood in our way. Next thing I know a coach of City fans pulls up they all debunk and the Wrexham lot are off faster than the cars at the start of a F1 race with the coach boys in full pusuit :lol:

Darlington. After a 2-0 defeat my mates and me were walking up to the station when a load of Darlo came out a nearby pub. Gave us loads of abuse and we would have been murdered but the coppers appeared and saved us from a good kicking.

Kidderminster Away, About a dozen Wolves Fans against 3 of us walking back to the car, Stood for a while, then got over ran, but eventually Saved by Some Ebbw Vale Lads(Woody's Lads).

Lincoln City in 82/83 going back to the Train station on my own, as living in Yorkshire then, and jumped by a load of Lincoln Fans, virtually crawled on to any train ended up in Grimsby :lol:

There are to many to keep writing, I will write a book on them :lol: :ayatollah:

Has to be Blackpool away late 80s on a Friday night with the Bouncers in a bar called Hacketts or something like that, they started on us inside because we were Cardiff, then when we went outside in the car park there were many more Bouncers from other bars waiting for us to come out :o and then it got a bit naughty and Lucky for us the Old Bill arrived soon as we were well outnumbered outside. :cry:

Wembley 2010 Harrow on hill. Got attacked by 15 pissed up lads from Llanrumney who were supposed to be supporting Cardiff. I watched the game against Blackpool with a broken jaw. Revenge is yet to be dealt but it's very close i now know most of the lads :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Had a superb toe to toe with Forest lads when we played mansfield away until hit from behind...can't remember much else after that.
I was on a stag do in blackpool and we had a big brawl with some lads who claimed they were carlisle.....we were dressed as cavemen so it must've looked rather surreal!?!?!? Lost my club and had my nose popped. Laughed like a mad man about it. :lol:

Couldn't have got a better lot than Woody, Nigel and Winky !

Mate of mine was in a bit of bother in Crumlin one night with some lads from Pant who promised to do him at stop tap, he asked

Winky and Nigel if they would give him hand.

They couldn't wait till stop tap, because their taxi back to Cwm was 10.30, so they piled in and gave the Pant boys a pasting !

Came unstuck at QPR on a friday night (4-0 win), went in wrong pub and they came from pub opposite, before you knew it chairs and bottles were flying everywhere as four of us tried to get out of pub, glad to see OB that night !

Always thought the Jocks were a great bunch of fans who liked nothing better than getting pissed and having a good time. However anybody who was at Anfield for the infamous World Cup Game would have a different view of the Jocks as we took an absolute hammering that night as the odds were overwhelming i am amazed no one was killed it was that bad :o

One incident comes to mind.Derby County away,early 80's if I remember correctly.The Baseball Ground.Never been to Derby before and never since.We parked up and went looking for a pub to have a couple and found this pub not too far from the ground.There were 4 of us and and it looked a nice quiet place and no sign of any Derby fans anywhere so in we went in and walked straight up to the bar and asked for 4 beers.The barman(who turned out to be the landlord)said "where you from?""Cardiff" I replied.By now you really could have heard a f*cking pin drop as I turned to take in the surroundings.About a hundred pairs of eyes staring at us from black faces.That moment will stay with me forever as it was the only time in my life I've ever felt the blood drain from my face as we all similtaniously realised our mistake.The landlord said somthing in a thick West Indian accent which I did'nt catch but thought better of asking him to repeat himself more clearly.At that the pub returned to normal,chatter and banter albeit west indian style.It turned out we were the only white guys to set foot in that pub for donkeys years and that our Cardiff heritage saved our bacon.We had a good laugh and lost a few quid playing dominoes west indian style as we were told that many of the guys that got into trouble in those days would go to cardiff where they could "hide" as the docks community was legendary and race relations in cardiff was apparently better than many other parts of the country at the time.Crisis over?For now anyway as we left and made our way to the ground.We were late and the game had already kicked off and you could here the roar as derby went 1 up early on as we queued.Some geezer whos name I can't remember played for derby for about 100 years and had never scored managed his first against city.We decided to go in the grandstand as there we hardly any queues at took our seat amongst the good natured home supporters.Derby went 2-0 up and were running us ragged and the home support even got out their hip flasks sharing with us some very nice whiskey and brandy saying things like "never mind taff this'll keep you warm"and even when city got one back it was still jovial as derby were pressing for a third.City eqialised...Yeeeessss we punched the air and whistled and clapped.We sat down and the banter was now "lucky welsh cunts" and the like.Our luck then ran out as city scored the winner but I could'nt tell you much about it as the next thing I can remember with any clarity was sitting on a trolley in Derby Royal Infirmary.

Bristol Rovers in Bath after a 1-0 win at Twerton Park (Gilligan scored giving us our first away win and their first home defeat of the season). Back at Bath station, sixteen on to two, no contest. :(
Slough Town FA cup tie, in Reading after the match, some other Cardiff fans had done a few pubs and gone home, 7 of us left in the bar by the station when a shed load of Chelsea turned up (England were playing Cameroon at Wembley). :shock:
Hull away the day they stopped a stack of our coaches in South Wales, 7 of us in a people carrier in Goole unaware of a pre-arranged meet there and then outside their ground when 2 of ours were left outside and refused entry, so having paid had to ask to be let out again. Fair one to the 30-odd Hull fans in the car park who could've destroyed the four of us that were stood there.
Nuremburg v Germany hit by a female skinhead :oops: while fending off a mob of German nutters, (which isn't has hard to do as it sounds, they seem happier to hit you when your back is turned and not overly keen when you fight back :roll: ).

Wolves away about 5 years ago, 6 of us left about 10 mins early for a stroll, walked down a really quiet road, turned the corner & bang 80 Wolves outside a boozer about 10 yards away, proper lot, G & his lads... bang got clocked instantly a big lump steamed towards me with his arms up shouting 'you cockney c*nt' first reaction back pocket, becks bottle bosh..straight in the windpipe, because he went straight down they all backed off as didn't really know how many of us their was. After a couple of seconds of confusion 2 ob on horses got between us and then loads of ob vans. Can't lie we would of got absolutely hammered.

I was in a hotel in Liverpool about 2 years later and G was there with about 15 fellas he came over and said where do I know you from (I honestly couldn't picture his face) next thing he said QPR..QPR? I thought here we go.. but turned out we had a pukka night & shared a few stories. Never liked em but once you meet people away from football on a level you realise your all very alike eh,
