Exactly what if a pro red is there after a few too many strongbows and has a go at BU then infighting occurs scrapping live in front of sky cameras , nice eh! Again embarrassing and a joke

You seem to think the march is going to get live coverage. :lol:

I'm showing my true thoughts. These thoughts are NOT the thoughts of anyone else, including BU. I am not a committee member of their group.

I want blue back & if that means Tan leaves, then yes.

He would leave us in safe hands (his words, not mine).


Barry you truley are a muppet, what safe hands would be left in?

How am I a muppet? All I've done is quote what Tan has said himself in a TV interview.

"If I leave, I will leave the club in good hands."

You make it sound like Tan is the only man in the world who could own a football club. :lol:

Well that will be the reds fault for having a go at BU, so BU won't look embarrassing or a joke. You clearly don't have a clue what BU are trying to set out to achieve if you honestly think any event/protest they plan is a joke. You should actually take an interest in what they're trying to achieve before making wrongful assumptions and looking silly. I am supporting them because they're the only group who are actually trying to do something in a peaceful, respectful way, and good on them for standing up for our club!

An march intentionally in front of the sky cameras making a mug in front of tan isn't a peaceful protest to me sorry

Have a read of the link above. I'm not quite sure what your getting at, I don't understand what's so damaging about a peaceful gathering and walk to the stadium. Of course BU want press coverage, we want to show the rest of the world that we're Cardiff City The Bluebirds and our identity is blue. How the hell are we expected to make any steps forward without showing Vincent Tan that we're not happy with our club playing in a colour that has got nothing to do with us. We're not out to insult anyone just simply stand up for our traditions, there is no reason for us to be playing in Red not one single reason. I'm not a fool and I know Tan probably won't budge but I want to keep our traditional colour alive I'm sorry if I'm in the wrong for doing that.

It's a march to celebrate the identity and tradition of our football club. All they will do is march while singing pro blue songs, nothing anti Tan involved whatsoever, just a celebration for our blue, Bluebird etc. What's wrong with that?

WITH THIS REBRAND, Tan has insulted the fans, the tradition & the identity of this football club. In doing so, our debt has increased a huge amount.

Re: BU March for man city game?

Tue Jul 30, 2013 7:36 pm

Mr Tan and the board are fully aware of the views of many supporters and whilst not protesting I am not ready to wear red myself, however the protest will do.nothing other than annoy the board so imo it is a foolish thing to do .

Did he think about us fans and our clubs years of tradition and history when he rebranded our club, did he f**k, and by the way he hasn't cleared any historic debt, when he does I will be a very happy man but he hasn't and that is a fact.

WHEN DEBT IS TURNED TO EQUITY as tan has promised City will be debt free.Debt free and playing in the premier league.

You focus to much on a colour,Cardiff City fc i support not a colour.

Re: BU March for man city game?

Tue Jul 30, 2013 7:48 pm

He only paid Langston off last week for fucks sake,I am sure if and when he does the debt to equity you lot will still give him no credit,whatever Tan does BU and the mob will still find something else to moan about.

If the march is done in a respectful, peaceful manner which I'm sure it will be, then the march will achieve its goal if it annoys the board as it will get the board even more aware that the request for our identity won't go away. :malky:

Re: BU March for man city game?

Tue Jul 30, 2013 7:54 pm

I cant wait for the march,it will be interesting to see what the turn out will be.I wonder what will constitute a success for BU with regards to numbers and if they will tell us beforehand what they hope for.

Long time reader, first time poster.

I must say, I find some of these anti-blue comments, really quite insulting.

This is a group who want to restore us to blue. You don't have to support them, but to oppose them is a very weird position for a Cardiff City fan to take.

Insulting them, throwing accusations is totally not on at all. I've mixed views on the rebrand, but the insults on here I've read recently are making me quite positive towards Bluebirds Unite to be honest.

Support the team is the main thing, but feck all wrong with standing up for our identity. If you aren't bothered, that's fine, don't go, but why insult them?

It reeks of desperation when you need to throw insults like that around. And yes, the same goes for insults aimed at people in red shirts too. Both as bad as each other.

1st time poster and bu supporter by the sounds of it.Insults and desperate bullying tactics have come from bu supporters and Sian Branson who made a public apology for her outburst.Annis even went on their Facebook page and told them to give it a rest.Fans are turning on bu because of these problems and they won't last the season Imo.

All I read on here is insults aimed at those City fans who are proud of blue and want to stand up for it. Of course, people make errors and honourable people apologise for them. Insults have been thrown both ways, which is unacceptable.

A City fans walk from the castle to the ground is a great idea. Peaceful and celebratory.

As I said elsewhere, I've waited a long time for the premier league and I won't let some moaning ninny tell me how to celebrate it. Maybe I'll go on the march, maybe not, but I won't be bullied into not going.

Yes, that will be the one thing that will let BU down & that would be a shame.

I'd like to add that there have been threats of violence, abuse etc from pro-red fans to BU supporters. The mud slinging has been from both directions.

You and everyone else should do as they please.
