I still am. I'm not going to lie, the Norwegians who came to Cardiff (especially OGS) had a lot to do with me starting to post on here. But it's hard not to fall in love with CCFC when you see fans fighting the rebrand and the general enthusiasm surrounding the club. Many norwegian posters will probably disappear, but the club still have Daehli, the biggest norwegian talent in years and of course Eikrem. And after all, there will be a legacy from OGS to been seen for a long time - he's shaped the squad the way it stands today in a big way.

But don't forget there were Cardiff fans in Norway long before OGS, the rebrand and everything. Scandinavian Bluebirds (the norwegian/scandinavian CCFC supporter club) was founded in 1989. And the interest for British football has always been huge.

Norwegian media attention concerning CC will diminish though - hardly anything written about the club now except the norwegian players' contribution. And internationally I believe the same thing will happen now that the fame of OGS has gone.

Actually, I´ve had a heart for Cardiff all since I got my first football card late 70ties, and I always used to be Cardiff when I was playing football manager 2 and 3 (I even won the Euro cup :). I haven´t been a hardcore fan all those year (of Cardiff or any other team), more like a sleeping supporter who was waken up after OGS took over. But I was never a huge fan of the player Solskjaer, to be honest, I always though he was a bit overrated, and after he came back from his last injury (which was admirable indeed), I though he was given playing time only because he was Fergusson´s favorite boy. That said, I admire him as a person, and I was really hoping he would do well with Cardiff. Although I understand why he was sacked, I must admit I was very disappointed with seeing him leaving this soon. Personally, I think it´s a shame that we never got to see him playing his best team with all players available and in form. Then I´m thinking about players like Noone, Dikgacoi, Guerra, and even Daehli hasn´t been at his sharpest this season. I´ve invested a lot of interest in Cardiff, though, and as my Norwegian mate here, my love for Cardiff does not end with Solskjaer!

Been supporting City since Graham Kavanagh was my fav player on Championship manager and will keep doing so. But lately i have been loosing interest in the forum due to posters like Junta who can talk shit like they want and post silly topics with mods looking at it.

I just want to see stats, transfer talk and constructive posts but many of the posters i liked have moved on so therefore i dont post as often as i did when signing up. Doesn`t mean i stopped supporting the club.
