Did anyone else feel the club let themselfs and fans down today.Why was the tribute not for both Simon Insole and Jimmy Andrews.Since he left cardiff city he remained local to south wales living in cowbridge.never to my knowledge has he said or done anything against the city so why the snub

Disgrace in my eyes

Was a bit surprised, did get a half time mention but perhaps a joint applause for him and Simon would have been appropriate.

Joint applause would've been nice but they'll probably do something at next home game

Shocking that he didnt get parity with Simon. I know Simon was a greatly respected local figure and justifiably so but Jimmy was probably one of our best managers ever and his passing was like an after thought...........very DISSAPPOINTED to be honest :(

I do hope it was just a case of time that caused the club to do no tribute hope it will be done for blackpool game,be a nice idea to have some old players from his era there

That was the only thing people wre talking about this evening. SHOCKING!!! :evil:

The Wales game had small recognition for Simon Insole, then today we had a full tribute. Trust me the club proved today how to handle sensitive situations, I think a full tribute will be made for Jimmy Andrews.

I think heads should roll because of this. Completely unprofessional

Re: jimmy andrews snubbed

I doubt it and complained to who?

I just think they had plans for Simon Insole and went ahead with them.

Other fallen bluebirds mentioned at half time with their own words.

Guess u didn't hear them :roll:

Are you really saying that respect for people including Simon Insole should be put ahead of a former manager!!!!

Believe me people were very angry this evening about it

It's all relevant.

It's never nice when anyone loses their life so the club tried to do what they can.
A lot of people knew Simon from fans to the police to the club and he deserved his minutes silence as planned.

To be fair Simon wasn't just a "policeman" to Cardiff City FC.

I can't see why they didn't applaud Jimmy though.

to the new fans it maybe relevant but im sorry a former manager should hav been before anyone else and this is coming from someone who Simon saved from having a kick-in a few times in the past

I did feel they could have mentioned him before Simons mention.

Maybe having 4 deaths so recent made it hard?
Simons was already planned obviously and if correct above someone mentionsed he may have had something for Blackpool.
