Jacks “swimming” actions!!

Mon Jan 13, 2020 12:44 am

Not seen it mentioned on any of the topics yet but did anybody else notice the entire jack end doing the swimming action during the warm ups?

Didn’t quite catch what they were singing along with it, but extremely insensitive seeing as we’re coming up on the 1st anniversary of Sala’s death

Wouldn't worry about it as was a non event in context of the game, they did it once I think during game? Shows how much noticed not sure how many times was done :old:

I’m confused by your view here.

Are you saying opposition fans should not taunt you at football matches because it is nearly a year since a player you disowned and refused to pay for died? :?

Can you explain?

It’s disrespectful either way to make that kind of gesture about any player who has died from drowning regardless of the opposition.... mind you saying that you’re all unsympathetic, in-bred mouthed fuckers anyway so don’t know why it shocked me....

He didn't die from drowning. He died from catastrophic head and trunk injuries after his plane crashed.

I have no idea what you are talking about I'm afraid or why you are wanting to link it to Sala.

Of course it's a typical reply, I replied with perfect sense.

It has nothing to do with Sala, you trying to make it about him is just weird. :?

Considering there is absolutely no other reason for “swimming actions” in Cardiff maybe you could enlighten us to the actual reason for it then??

It’s supposed to be a swim away thing that they do towards us because they class chasing a few children into the sea many moons ago a victory of doing us over. Oh and they also throw seats at children because they like everyone to think they done us over :thumbup:

Like said a non event, wonder how many fans at game had any idea what they were singing and why, we have a new breed of fans who didn't support city back in 80s or were to young and probably dont know story behind it!

Rumour has it there is a mass crèche next to the away fans, apparently it’s also used as a base for the local nursery school and also the U-9’s choir group. Poor things. Amazing really how incidents seem to be attracted to them, seems like every one is against these children.

Swansea fans have been making those gestures long before the Sala tragedy. I doubt if it was in reference to what happened to Sala.

Yes and it’s embarrassing and disrespectful to try and link the two together.

Nobody likes the jacks but this thread is f*cking embarrassing.

A term of speech. I would be surprised if it had any links to Sala whatsoever. However, I am not a Swansea fan so was not party to whatever was going on amongst them. Neither am I a mind reader, and am not arrogant enough to say with 100% certainty what is going on in someone else's head. Without asking each and everyone of those fans why they were making the gestures, how could I possibly know the reasons behind them? Perhaps they were just doing a bit of physical exercise, or keeping themselves warm.

... or you could use common sense?

Maybe the Cardiff players on the pitch were mocking the death of our former players by kicking a ball. I mean that’s what they used to do too, can’t be sure of course because I didn’t ask them, but it may well have been a taunt.

Come on now, although you do end up getting carried away with the idiots on here you tend to start off fairly sensible, disappointing.
