Cardiff City a Derby point of veiw

I always thought this of Brayford. He's a good player yet he had zero chance at Cardiff under a manager who is evidently a one dimensional bigot. I don't think his lack of chances were football related.How the hell is he still worth £1.5m?


On a serious note Cardiff and Derby fans get on well with each other. We all love our sheep!


I walked into a bar in Cardiff and ordered a pint of Brains.

All the Taffy's sitting around the bar look up, expecting to see another Welshman.

The barman says, "Your not from around here, are you Boyo?"

I said no I'm from Derby in England."

The barman says, "What do you do in Derby?"

I said I'm a taxidermist.

The barman says, "A taxidermist? What the hell is a taxidermist boyo? Do you drive a taxi?"

"No, a taxidermist doesn't drive a taxi. I mount animals."

The barman grins and yells, "He's okay boys. He's one of us."

Back in the early 80's I went on my first away game on my own to Cardiff ... six of us turned up at the station, including the late Booey god rest him, to be met by 50 plus knife wielding Blue Birds of which one had one leg and was on crutches!

From nowhere the police appeared and bundled us in the van they had opened up a gate early in the open terrace and it was raining and no food. It was 12.30so not a pleasant afternoon and I 'think' we lost too like we did most of the time back then.

Only had a few worse experiences than there and usually involving Millwall...

Most pubs Ok in City centre, dont wear any scarves or colours though and suss them out before going in.

Main thing is to keep quiet so they can't tell your not Welsh, especially coming away after the match on the train!!

Almost funny. When was the last time you were called "Boyo" in a Cardiff pub? Or any pub in South Wales for that matter.

It's a joke.

Yes, I know, a very "well worn" one to.

"How Green Was my Valley" which was filmed entirely in Hollywood, with mostly American actors, has a lot to answer for!
