" SOLID/HARD WORKING & PROFESSIONAL CARDIFF CITY TODAY "

Why are you all listening on the radio on not actually there supporting the team you all TALK about.

I though city fully deserved the 3 points today and were solid with Bamba and Manga at the back. For me Holliett still is not offering us much but is still also better than what we have on the bench. Murphy in goal was good again today and as for Zahore the lad worked his socks off and was winning and battling for everything his way. The referee today was one of the worst I have seen (honestly) and as for Grealish I would be embarrassed as a Villa fan, the lad took 1 or 2 but was falling over and flinging his arms about and he was comical.

Crowd was much better today and it felt like a proper football match, let's hope Sunday we can have some type of decent turn out considering its televised and stupid kick off time, I for 1 will be there. C'Mon City

Good to see Ralls back today and great to see him score.

I'm genuinely being swarmed by Villa fans on Twitter who think we were fouling Grealish the whole game - insane. Football fans defending that behaviour from their own player is disgusting, and is half the bloody problem in this modern game.

Sore losers

I'm definately a sore loser but listening to the local commentary, both commentators (one an ex player) were commenting throughout how Grealish had clearly been targeted. They were both full of praise that he continually dusted himself down & got on with it. I saw the home game and he was kicked to f**k, I can imagine what Warnock said to his players today beforehand.

I don't think the Ref would be biased and yes Warnocks players get tough and prob to passionate,but its up to a Ref to decide.
I know Warnock would of wound us up today and who could blame a manager with a team near the bottom.

Thats why Warnock is called in, when clubs need saving.

I've no probs with Warnock mate. You have to do whatever when you are at the bottom, I would do the same. I've not seen the game so can't comment but yes, it was down to the ref & from what I was hearing, he wasn't up to much.

None of it really matters, it's not going to take any of the points back off you is it?

You won't make top 2,but you will make the play-offs

Absolutely no chance. 7 points was too big a gap this time last season, I can't see it being smaller this time around, especially with Leeds, Derby & Sheff Weds ahead of us. Bruce is a steady Eddie grinding out narrow wins and scraping draws. Villa need to put a winning run of 5 or 6 games together to get near the top 6, Bruce doesn't do that.

Brilliant win full of desire and commitment Warnock had us up for it a typical Warnock side and how I love watching this type of football all in it together football .
To me that's what football is all about brilliant today hopefully it's the start of things to come.
As for grealish don't give a shit it's all about city today .
Brilliant from front to back for me.

The boy is an excellent footballer but he has a side to him which he needs to look at. Football is supposed to be a physical game (although sometimes nowadays that doesn't seem to be the case). Every time, and I mean EVERY TIME anyone tried to tackle him, he fell over, waved his arms, complained to the referee and generally behaved like a spoilt child.

Undoubtedly he was fouled a few times but he doesn't help himself by his childish, moaning reaction.

Did we "target" him? Who cares? if we were concentrating so much on Grealish why weren't your other better players able to take advantage?

I suppose our players should just let Grealish have as much time as he likes on the ball to cause the damage his talent is undoubtedly capable of. He's extremely lucky not to be sent off for a blatant dive towards the end having already been yellow carded for being a tart.

Well if he was diving every time, it is the first time this season-He usually goes round players like they're not there. Why would he want to dive? It's funny how you lot always see these "blatant dives" but never the refs isn't it?

Great game, great result. Bamba was immense! And Zahore was a handful upfront but good performance by every player really.

No it's not the first time this season - he did it at the game at Villa Park too as well as running after the ref waving his imaginary yellow card!

Poor crowd considering.

What nonsense.

Thats what Warnock brings to Cardiff City

Jack, I agree with everything you've said there

The referee was very poor today and gave some very bizarre decisions both ways. Grealish is clearly a very talented player but was moved out wide in the second half and couldn't get into the game. He was fouled on a number of occasions, but unfortunately threw himself to the ground twice when nothing happened. The ref couldn't get it right about when he was or wasn't fouled, thus increasing Grealish frustration. He also needs to be reminded not to sarcastically clap the referee when he wins a free kick - a pointless booking for petulant behaviour. What I'm trying to say is, he wasn't squeaky clean but the ref mishandled the situation.

And this is exactly why you don't know what you are talking about. You read some crap on here about him running after the ref. He was sat on his arse after been hacked for the umpteenth time and held 5 fingers up to say that was the fith time. There was no imaginary yellow card.

Believe me, at Villa Park, Jack Grealish was running after the ref brandishing an imaginary yellow card as will be corroborated by many who were there and saw him do it.

I'm not going to say you don't know what you're talking about - you're passionate about your team and good for you. Of course we see the game differently but I can assure you that Grealish DID wave an imaginary card at the ref at your place.

I've also said that undoubtedly today he was fouled on a number of occasions. However, there were also a number of occasions where he clearly dived and, whichever you you look at it, that's cheating.

I can't comment on today because I didn't see it. At VP, he was not diving, he was getting clobbered, culminating in one of your players getting sent off for hacking him down at almost waist length.

He was booked whilst sat on the floor, in the middle of the park. He held his 5 fingers up, he did not wave an imaginary yellow card. He never once ran after the referee.

Whilst diving is cheating, so is kicking lumps out of a player just because he makes you look silly and you can't stop him with your ability.

AV3 you can't defend him this time . Even your manager stated in his post match comment he wasn't happy with grealish with his antics and would be having a word with in training about his behaviour . needs to man up me thinks

Moz-Bruce has had a go at him for complaining, not for diving. The commentary that I listened to, the commentator said he thought Grealish did man up by dusting himself down & getting on with it. OK he complained but he is entitled to in my opinion if he is getting kicked from pillar to post. You are not the first team to have done this and you won't be the last-Unless you complain to the ref, he's hardly likely to react is he? Look at Derbys penalty just before Xmas.

Such a shame manga will be leaving

You never know, we might not be able to sell him

He's gone mate.

The best team won today. In fact, a fairer result at Villa Park would have been a draw. Grealish has a rep as a diver and once sussed, divers get something to actually dive about. Looked at the Villa forum and they are just sore losers. They can make up as many excuses as they want but the reality is that they are just not that good. And despite the number of fans they brought down today, were relatively quiet for large parts of the game and especially when losing. I lost respect for them today when some of them tried to get to the family stand. Birmingham tried it a few seasons ago. Must be a character trait. Gobby brummie pikey cowards.

Then our club are not going forward still backwards in my opinion.

Yes, I agree it was def a fair result today

I listened to radio Wales and both commentators said he Could be a top player but were disgusted the way that he continually dives.

Shout of the day "Shit Joey Essex ur just a shit Joey Essex " brilliant

Grealish is 21 and obviously has talent but like Deahli for us he doesn't have the speed to get away from his man after his fist move. He is not going to get any quicker.

Hazard is the same size and we have seen first hand how his trickery makes his space then his acceleration takes him (far) away. Now the comparison is unfair, Hazard is world class, but i did notice how quickly Peltier caught him who is not a burner.

Shame for the kid and villa that he has so much baggage, as a nice little footballing team like a Bournemouth would suit him, But, is he all that ?

It's been said on this thread that we actually had a defence today. My take would be we actually had a holding central midfield in Bamba. He was immense and gave plenty of protection to our defence. He broke up many Villa moves. The defence didn't need to come and follow Villa front men dropping as he was there to pick them up. Excellent selection by NW
