Gald I never did a TLG

Fri Nov 01, 2013 8:01 am

Never really was going to myself althoug id prefer Blue ---did you think about it

What a few weeks at the CCS---jacks Sunday then Man Utd . then Arsenal

Just imagine if youd decided to quit on principle over a shirt colour issue which most people have now forgotten and you are sat at home with your spiders missing those three games.

IMO only those that boycotted CCFC like TLG are truly 100% against the rebrand and I have nothing but respect for them. Its a shame what they are missing but they stuck to their principles and should be applauded for that.

The only true protest to the rebrand is to stay away,what greater message could fans send out,all this BU stuff is bullshit as far as i'm concerned.

Dave made a decision on principle, and many of us respect him for that. Personally, I disagree with him, but people dealt with a difficult situation in different ways. A mate of mine from Llanishen doesn't go now, either.

Both are City fans of many years' standing, and I'm genuinely sad that they have stopped going.

The OP seems very excited at the prospect of seeing Manchester United and Arsenal. Fair enough, but watching Cardiff City is the main thing. This era will pass, like every other. Enjoy it while it lasts, but afterwards we need all true City fans to be still on board.

Nobody gains when a member of the Cardiff City family leaves. We are stronger together, especially when we have to battle for the very soul of our club. The Bluebirds!

It's fantastic that someone has stuck to his principles and made the ultimate sacrifice to cease watching his team, we all know how devoted TLG was to Cardiff. However, following his numerous rants and sometimes childish posts against the club and some fans, I personally lost respect for him. As someone has just said, this era like all others will pass, tan will go, Malky will go, Cardiff will still be here in some form and as we do now, we will be supporting them. All the politics mean feck all on the match day, for that 90 minutes it's about the 11 players on the pitch, fighting our cause. I have not had many better days than at Fulham, where 4000 went ballistic and sang in the pubs after, that is what it's all about :ayatollah:

I've "done a TLG" and 100% stick by my decision. I hope Premiership football is worth it for the people who still go down. I'm more than happy sitting on my sofa Sunday. How people can go down to that rebranded stadium without burning it to the ground is beyond me :ayatollah:

Now this IS a top post.To stay away is like deserting family when they need you most.Nothing is forever.

I've respect for Dave Sugarman. Principalled man who loved his club and wanted to see it respected.

I'll stop going if this filthy rebrand continues along this route too.

Ah good old Krav Maga, did a stint not long back. I am just so easily bored it's unbelievable. Really like the concepts behind it though, best self defence I've done.

Re: Gald I never did a TLG

Have more respect for people who have stayed away than those who go to games but think they are above other fans because they have a tacky cheap T-Shirt on that says I don’t need to sell my soul.

As a swans fan the novellety of playing the big boys lessens each year. I go to a)watch my team win b)to be entertained c)To meet up with the lads and have a bit of banter. Not sure how high the opposition comes on my list tbh

Agreed.


Although it does get you down when lunatics take over the CCFC asylum continuously.

Sometimes us fans need to take a break.

Want to stand and sing and can see myself getting banned for doing this at a football match!

I agree tbh, I get more excited about a team ive not played before than one ive seen before especially on away days.

For example im more interested in going to Everton than I would be Arsenal or Liverpool because ive already been.

I dont think its about premiership football, most of those fans went when we were in the championship.

Re: Gald I never did a TLG

I've not been to a game since the rebrand, after barely missing a home game for 25 years. I remain totally committed to not putting one penny towards Tan's disgraceful bastardisation of our club's identity.

Yes, it's bizarre missing the first Welsh derby in the premier league - as eighteen months ago it would have been an occasion I'd have dreamed off! Can't say that i have any regrets, whatsoever, though. I wanted no part of Tan's lunacy a year and a half ago and nothing has changed.

It's great to see more and more fans waking up to just what a bully and crazy owner Tan is. I look forward to the day when he slings his hook. Like other boycotters, I hope to return one day, when our traditional identity is restored :thumbup:

Re: Gald I never did a TLG

Fri Nov 01, 2013 1:18 pm

I love football. But I also understand that there is more to life than football. I can't take it that seriously that it's going to affect my day to day life.

I enjoy watching it so I will always continue to.

Respect Mr Sherwood

I feel like quitting regularly - but then that Cnut Tan wins.
Clemons never beat me, Ridsdale never beat me And no two bit dime store billionnaire is going to either.

The only thing that tw*t gets off me is my ST. And I take my payment of said ST as supporting the wages of our team and manager.

I hope that the boycotters will be back too. The PL glory hunters will be gone then. No problems getting tickets, home or away. But when that happens, and we are back in blue, (hopefully), there must be no recriminations, no settling of scores. Like I said earlier, different people have dealt with this diabolical situation in different ways. Those who are left, when we are back in the Championship or League 1, will be real Bluebirds.

One day, this surreal nightmare will be over.

We've all got a slightly different take on it. :thumbup:

No fans are better than others.

That said and I agree that people should feel able to wear what they want but I still feel pig sick whenever I see any adult Cardiff City fan wearing the red rebrand shirt. I've always liked the idea that we are 'all in it together' but I feel very disconnected from Cardiff supporters who wear that divisive garment. It almost feels as if they are sticking two fingers up at long standing Cardiff City fans who are boycotting.

I respect the ones who have stayed away and stuck to their principles and hope they will return when we change back to blue one day :ayatollah:
The ones i don't respect are the ones who reckon they hate it so much and find it so unbearable but claim they are only going to games so plastics can't have their seats.. f*cking bullshitters
