So because you reacted to people reacting it makes you a snowflake too.

Snowflake, the term people throw around when they want an excuse to be an idiot towards people.

It was an unnecessary comment on a post about Rubin doing good work in the community. Uncalled for and if calling it out makes me a snowflake then paint me white and chuck me in the freezer.

Thanks Mike. Understand people defending Rubin if they want but don't understand this backlash to a harmless comment.

Rubin has been fantastic this season & I didn't think it was a mean comment but rather a playful comment, it gave me a smile anyway.

Lovely to see Rubin back and one of his many twists and turns almost created a goal that somehow Robbo contrived to miss.

Yes he did well when he came on & it was good to see him back. As for CR he did everything right there yet somehow the keeper left his leg behind for a great save.

Yeah it was a good save, in form Robinson buries that though

Agree, it’s a sign of the times! :cry:

I thought Rubin was class when he came on and showed his worth, as we improved again in the final quarter of the game!

Welcome back, Rubin Colwill! :clap: :ayatollah:

If a sign of the times means sticking up for one of our talismanic players then long live the times we live in.

A little confused here.

Worcester said Rubin makes pointless and needless tricks in the middle of the pitch, which to me is rather critical.

Then, in response you suggest an over reaction to his post after saying that you 'love Rubin who is one of the most talented players we have and we are lucky to have him.'

Surely, your thoughts about Rubin simply echo what most of the reactive posts have said!

He lost the ball when he tried a needless nutmeg that didn't come off, that could have resulted in a goal for them on the counter attack.

But great to see him back, good cross that Robinson should have finished.

It's quite simple mate, I like Rubin, Ned doesn't. Ned wrote a comment which I found funny but a lot of over sensitive posters didn't and replied with a lot of OTT posts.

Agree with that but I’ll allow players like him and Tanner to try these things. I wouldn’t want to turn either of them into boring carbon copy players.

Point taken; But I just think it was taken as a negative, critical post against a very positive thinking player that most Cardiff fans love to see in the team. Hence, the reaction.

Rubin looked well off the pace to be honest, great to see him back but he's weeks away from starting I think. The cross was magic he's always got that in the bag.

Very harsh on Robinson. He hit the target and put it back across the keeper that's exactly what your supposed to do, just an excellent save

Great seeing him out there today, can't believe we've got him back fully fit with 15 games still to play. Could be massive for us.

Lovely raw throughout the stadium too when his name was read out as the sub. Shows why there has been such a backlash to the sarcasm that got this thread going.

I love Rubin but everyone has their own options on all our players and manager, but I don't agree with verbally abusing someone just because you disagree with them. We're all Cardiff fans, besides a few obsessed star struck jacks on here :laughing6:
