A forum for all things Cardiff City

An independent Regulatory Commission has sanctioned Cardiff City FC for breaching FA Rules E21.1 and E21.4 at its EFL Cup fixture against Chelsea FC on Tuesday 16 December 2025.
It was alleged that around the 2nd minute Cardiff City FC failed to ensure its spectators and/or supporters (and anyone purporting to be supporters) don’t use words or behave in an improper, offensive, abusive, indecent, or insulting way including a reference - whether express or implied - to sexual orientation.
Cardiff City FC subsequently admitted the charge. The Regulatory Commission imposed an action plan, £15,000 fine and formal warning following a hearing.
Although they admitted the charge, Cardiff City will be lodging an appeal because they believe the fine is excessive.

It was the rent boy chant.
Yet other clubs don't get fined for chanting sheep shaggers at us.

I wonder who brought the matter to the attention of the FA?
An overly sensitive Chelsea fan?
The TV company covering the game?
The referee?
Actually I bet it was Sky - probably pissed off that nobody takes a knee anymore before kick off so they can remi d everyone how woke they are

It was Chelsea pride an lgbqt branch of Chelsea supporters who reported it , we weren't the first club they reported for the same exact chant as Lincoln were reported for the same thing in the earlier round of the cup

Cardiff City FC:
We have been fined £15,000 by the FA for homophobic chanting from a minority of attendees at our Carabao Cup quarter final with Chelsea on December 16th.
Cardiff City Football Club has a zero-tolerance policy to all forms of discrimination.

You may have hit the nail on the head there

Worlds gone mad. If we wanted to be pedantic, we could have clubs fined every week for singing sheep shaggers but we don't and quite rightly so.

This is what the woke mob has taken from us

Games gone and the world's gone mad

I may be wrong here but in my 60 years supporting city the chant seemed to be aimed at young good looking goalkeepers who I think take it as a compliment. But that was before woke came into being.

That's why I said what about chelsea singing sheep sh.ggers it would be good if someone a"welshman"would try taking this issue to court after been called a sheep shagger on some sort of insulting racist card .
It seems to work for everyone else.
This would be to prove, is english law biased towards the welsh and to make a mockery of the whole thing,and also prove we are not so upset as the english crying about name calling a bit like another nationality who get all upset at name calling.

So a bunch of self entitled queers have just cost our club 15k.
The amount of power such a small percentage of people have is frightening.
Veterans only get one day.
Caitlyn Jenner gets a whole pride month.

The sheep shagger chant does come underneath the relevant laws for this stuff but quiet rightfully nobody ever moans about it, unlike this bunch of self-righteous self-serving cranks from Chelsea. The law is definitely bias anyway and it's not in our favour on many levels.

Why use her as your example when she's not even British or a gay footballer ? Is she a gay Chelski supporter? Very strange choice of person? She isn't or never was gay either as far as I'm aware. Is she in the news over there like she is here at the moment?
Sounds to me like a couple of gay Chelsea supporters have got a bug up their arse & have made it their mission to piss off every club they can by complaining about their fans usage of the words "rent boy" just to prove they can.
No surprise it's Chelsea supporters though, they've never had a sense of humour except when it comes to believing their team are world beaters.
