Has he been shit in training?
Can he not be arsed?
Twisted a nose hair and out for another few months?


BBM said after the game yesterday that he was available but just not selected.


Bit odd though isnt it. It doesnt feel right to me.



Been saying this for a while portsmuth did' nt come for him ,i think he thought he would get an offer.


As I said over the summer, Portsmouth couldn't afford him. The only club linked that could have afforded him were Ipswich and I never really believed that they wanted him because they already had much better players.

I think he'll probably play on Tuesday. It's likely to be a much changed team and it's a good game for him to get some minutes, given that he hasn't played for a while.

Your not reading were i am coming from LISTEN he wanted out,
and was hoping they would come in for him but they obviously did not have the funds so you don' t have to tell me i already know.

Well if we knew that Portsmouth couldn't afford him then it's fairly likely that he knew it so wouldn't have been surprised that he didn't go there.

Don't buy that there's some reason other than the injury and because he just wasn't selected as to why he hasn't played. But I guess some people just love a conspiracy theory.

No conspiracy he just had not showed a lot of interest playing for cardiff city apart from the first 5 games last season and its gone down hill ever since i don' t buy injuries are the reason he has not showed up since those first 5 games thats my view you have yours.

I was surprised at first but it would have meant leaving either Joe Colwill or Kellyman out of the squad. If this is the reason he Robinson wasn't selected then its a nice position to be in.

With all due respect to both Joel and Kellyman; Robertson is a level up in Career and 'on paper'.

If fit (and ready/attitude correct etc) then he's straight into the squad with view to get into the team asap?

The sooner Robertson is back - the better as we will have another option and looking forward to what BBM can get out of him.

Wasn't he really ill?

He is a human being; he doesn't have to release his full medical records to the public.

I do believe that he is overrated by our fans on what he has shown in a city shirt though.

If he can't even get on the bench when we have such a hectic fixture schedule and he's supposedly fit there must be a good chance that we won't see him in a Cardiff shirt again.

No great loss for me. Injury prone and seems like he doesn't really want to be here.

Allan, he may do, but expect him to be nursed in a little over the next few games. Will be tough for anyone he replaces, but BBM has a great ‘squad mentality’ going, so I think he’ll play a big part this season! :thumbup:

Seems there were sensible reasons for his delayed return, and all in line with BBM’s updates over the weeks! :ayatollah:

Chris can't believe he doesn't want to be involved with what's happening now at city.. a lot of problems with returning players is the sports science dept have final say when fit enough to play... but its early in season no need to rush him back? And yes going to play big part this season

Me too, we have better players at the moment, he came with a lot of promise, but that's all so far, let's see if he does get back in and see if he's competing with Joel and Turnbull or Wintle.
