It's amazing the way you quote what was said in your post, yet claim it reads something completely different to suit your pathetically boring views. Anyone would think you were a lying, tedious wum![]()

Swansea didnt, 3 go up and they finished 3rd. if play offs werent introduced they would have gone up anyway.
We got into the championship via the back door though and also to league 1.
shit happens.

So swansea go up through the play offs yet its not the back door, Cardiff finish 2nd and it is? Oh and by the way we finished 3rd, but then only a Cardiff fan would know that

I was basing it on your opinion not mine.
If you finish 6th and go up then I can see an argument for that, however if you finish 3rd in a league that allows 3 teams promoted then I think it's nothing short of lunacy to describe it at that.
And no, we finished 2nd... But only a Cardiff fan would know that.

Nice dodging of the bollock you dropped.
I thought your opinion was that you have to win the league or you are going up through the back door. However it now seems you mean the playoffs. Yu do realise they don't give an extra place to the playoff teams don't you, it was taken away from the 3rd place team.
So swansea should have been promoted under the old rules but as a result had to play 3 more games. That's the opposite of the back door surely?
If they were 6th and got promoted, I'd see your angle.

Yep my mistake, we were 2nd. Always stuck in my mind 3rd but then of course 2nd came courtesy of a 9 pt deduction for c'field. But yes, 2nd.
Now back to your point. I never had any angle or gave any opinion. You said the jacks finishing 3rd and going up through the play offs wasn't the back door, yet Cardiff going up automatically from league 2 to league 1 (2nd place) was through the back door. All I've asked you is how you've come to that conclusion but as usual you dodge around the issue and make out I've said this and that. I've not mentioned anything about 6th or any opinion about Swansea.
So answer my question if you can, it's not a difficult one surely?

But you said only a Cardiff fan would know, which means you aren't, right?
How can you say I dodged the question when I answered I perfectly well? Paul what do you mean you don't have an opinion or angle? It was YOU that said swansea got promoted to the Prem via the back door where as Cardiff will be champions. THAT suggests that you could easily have meant only the champions of a league are worthy entrants into the league above, hence why I said we did it from league 2 to league 1.
However your objection led me to understand what you actually meant was play offs was "through the back door"... To which I went on to tell you that playoffs didnt create an extra place, it was taken away from the third placed club. If there were no play offs swansea would have been promoted automatically. The fact there was playoffs means they had to play an extra 3 games and come out on top, which they did. So your point is a bit of a silly one.
However in the interest of balance, I can see where you are coming from regarding that notion if the team promoted came outside the top 3, as they got promoted BECAUSE of the introduction of the play offs and given a second chance as it were. Just like our sixth placed finish and play off win to get to the championship.
Hope that's clear enough for you Carpe.

Here's an idea for you, why not read what I said and show me where I stated all what you say I did? For example, show me the post where I said "swansea got promoted to the Prem via the back door where as Cardiff will be champions"? And why are you calling me Paul? Up to your old lying tricks again and confusing posters which each other.

This is a prime example of why you shouldn't jump into people's conversations on a faceless Internet forum. You have taken someone else's stupid argument and picked it up. At least it saves you the embarrassment of not having to claim that stupid original post too.
You already have admitted you can't possibly be a Cardiff fan as you didnt know what position we finished to get promoted

It's hardly a bollock dropped or a LIE, I just assumed it was you whom started it seeing as you were making such a song and dance about it... whether you wrote the initial statement or Barack Obama makes little difference to my post. I've answered your question each and every time however, I'm stunned as to why you keep saying it hasn't been answered.
However stating we were promoted in 3rd place and said if anyone got that wrong they weren't a Cardiff fan, only to get it wrong yourself is beyond incredible and also makes you a liar by your definition![]()
Either way I'm clearly correct, Swansea were unlucky they had to do it through the play offs as it years gone by their position was worthy of automatic, so had to play an EXTRA 3 games and still went up. But I'm afraid you aren't going to live this one down jack, as you said yourself you can't be a Cardiff fan
