You can't be a "reluctant" red and then quite happily wear a red scarf ! :roll:

I boycotted the club because I could see what was going to happen AND I WAS RIGHT and I didn't want to put my money into something I don't believe in.I have always said I am a temporary exile until we revert to our original state.Today I am just making a point.Am I not welcome because I have an opinion? if not then you should discuss the message beneath the Cardiff city forum logo at the top of the page with Annis and ask for all fans who do not support Cardiff City to be banned.

Sorry Ian (baked) I agree with Ian here.


Yeah your right guys and I do apologise to Jinks.

Just very very angry over last night and just can't believe how many people have basically shown their support for Tan over this red.


Good one Ian, yes we are all angry, last night I was physically sick, but good on you for the apology, thats what makes us city fans. Keep the faith mate, he wont be around forever, the BLUE will return, albeit a bit longer than we all anticipated. :ayatollah:

I've not been to a single game this season as promised I am not proud of it but if everyone boycotted just the first home game a message would have been sent out and scarfgate may have never happened.
It's too late to cry over it now as the decision wasn't made by Tan but by you because you accepted and didn't even question his motives.Those who say the club was unrecognizable last night have been blinded by the red light as the club was unrecognizable the moment the red was worn but it's not too late to voice your opinion in fact last night should be the trigger to show the club that the destruction of our heritage is not acceptable and now is your chance.If you do nothing now then whatever happens you will be responsible for it.Other fans have called us spineless and the jacks constantly take the piss and now you can do something about it.
For 35 years I sang those famous words"please don't take my Cardiff away",now is your chance to stop that happening.

I suggest you sing "Please don't take my Bluebird away" on Sunday as loud as you can which would be a good start while wearing all blue.




Not been there THIS season, mate?

You ABANDONED your club IMHO :oops: :roll: :cry:

Actually, I (sort of) admire your principles but you can see where I am coming from...it's JUST AN OPINION as to what we THINK is the good, the bad and the ugly where 'change' is involved ;)

Me? I couldn't abandon the club, as it hasn't changed in all reality and I WANT to be part of its FUTURE

Each to his or her own, eh? :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

PS: I hope you come back next season 'principles' in tact for making your stand :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

I respect your words and opinion Sven and if you are happy with it then that's your right as a paying punter.I don't subscribe to the Malaysian view of our future and being absent this season has left a big hole in my life but believe me I have tried to come around to what is happening but my brain or heart won't let me.We are all different that's why this board exists.I hope one day we return to our historical values and I can once again take my place in the Ninian but I believe it is the end of Cardiff City as we know it and the beginning of Team Malaysia AKA The Dragons and I just can't go with it.

I respect everything you stated there, mate; particularly the 'doing your head' bit :ayatollah:

The only thing I can't get my head around is why someone who has supported the club for so long can walk away (note I didn't say 'simply') knowing that VT was the ONLY alternative and that in HIS culture the colour RED is seen as a vibrant lucky colour and was almost inevitably going to occur :?

In Wales, the colour RED and DRAGONS play a HUGE part in OUR culture, so that too confuses me when VT gets slated so much (particularly after delivering so far on the field) :?

PS: I am told that Tony Fernandes floated the idea at QPR and is still watching our situation with interest ;) :ayatollah:

Hope to see you (and others) back in the not too distant future :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

You can't be a "reluctant" red and then quite happily wear a red scarf ! :roll:


Because the scarf was given away for nothing :roll:

The real test is how many of those red scarfs are worn at the remaining home matches.

Don't forget about the chance to win a free season ticket....Cardiff fans love a free Bet.
