:thumbup:

Anyone who gives Ledley grief really needs to have a word with themselves or someone to have a word or three in their ear.

FFS this site is all about freedom of speech is it not? 50% of fans dislike ledley as do 50% like ledley as i have found when i speak to fans.
i personally dont like the guy. but i can accept why people like him, and understand why they like him. but you cannot question people when they dislike a player that leaves are club and then gives Cardiff little digs in to the press up north and try to convince cardiffs targets to join him up north. you could say, what else is he ment to do when asked the question. but i dislike anyone Cardiff born or not who can causes problems for the club. i am a cardiff city supporter not a ledley supporter.

One player who will live off one moment he done something magnificent for the club, other than that, he did nothing more than what Eddie Johnson did. Won't be getting a clap off me, as I think he doesn't deserve it. If he is a "Cardiff Boy", and a "Fan of the club" why did he leave us for free when the club were in desperate need of cash? He knew what sort of money he could have made for the club if he had just signed that 1 year contract extension. Every player wants glory, but when it's for the wrong reason's, why bother?

Yes you can.

FORUM: "A medium for open discussion or voicing of ideas"


He's entitled to say he hates Ledley, but on an open forum i'm entitled
to reply with....

It boils down to who you believe, Ledley, who has been here since he was a
kid, and who has been one of our best players over the last few years, and who
is Welsh, local and says he loved Cardiff City

or

Ridsdale.

Nuff said.

Why do you believe Peter Ridsdales version of events

Re: Ledley relishing return to Cardiff

Mon Jul 18, 2011 4:41 pm

Have I said I believe anyone's "versions of events". Just never rated Ledley at all, thats why I've said about Ledley doing nothing more than Johnson. He never given Cardiff, or Wales that spark that we could have had from McPhail or Rae imo. Yes he was young, Yes he was Welsh, yes he was a "Cardiff Boy", and most fans seem to be blinded by that. He got that goal against Barnsley, and one against Blackpool. He turned up and performed at games he wanted to perform. I never supported him when he was here, nor when he left.

Like i said, "Freedom of Speech".

You never "supported him while he was here". What an odd thing to say. I take that to mean that you dont support CCFC, but just a variety of players you have taken a liking too?

Never supported him as in, never thought he was as good as what people made out to be. He was never jaw dropping. Never gave his all, and lived off a few games he done well in. But hey, I don't support City because I don't support a "City Born" player. He's a self confessed Liverpool fan, who because he's from Cardiff, He must be a Cardiff fan. :roll:

An element of truth to that but he was underrated and taken for granted by the club for being Cardiff born asell.

Offered no parity in wages in relation to other playes where he was an established international and professional player at this level.

Risdale thought they could get him on the cheap and the lad would be grateful.

Decent business done by Ledley, I don't blame hi and poor by the lying cnt from Yorkshire.

Re: Ledley relishing return to Cardiff

Mon Jul 18, 2011 5:19 pm

I think for the time Joe was here, he was one of our better players.
Comparing him to Eddie Johnson is ludicrous. For a start, Ledley
got more goals from midfield than Johnson did as a striker. In fact
I think my nana could have got a better goals return than Edward!

Before his injury he was playing bloody well. Stoke didnt give a toss
if he was a local Cardiff coy, yet they wanted to sign him.

Maybe now he WOULDNT be good enough to play in our midfield.

Whether he reached his peak very young, or injury has knocked him
back permanently we'll never know.

So like him or dont.

But FOR FUCKS SAKE.....

Do not believe a word Peter Ridsdale said

Jesus :banghead:

Re: Ledley relishing return to Cardiff

I for one will cheer him when he comes out onto the pitch, for being a great servant of the club since the age of 9, but once the whistle goes, then he his no different from any opposition.

Re: Ledley relishing return to Cardiff

Mon Jul 18, 2011 6:01 pm

I didnt mind Ledley but did get a bad attertude at the end and I went off him but as been said it is his word against that lying Fat greedy Yorshire b*stard I will side with Ledley.

My complain about Ledley is I think he made a big mistake not just for Cardiff City but for himself going to Celtic he could have gone to Stoke and played the best teams in Europe in Man U Arsenal Liverpool Chelsea etc but instead playing against teams that are no better than League 1. So it was wages he went for not football

Re: Ledley relishing return to Cardiff

Mon Jul 18, 2011 6:09 pm

I like the guy Image

Re: Ledley relishing return to Cardiff

Mon Jul 18, 2011 6:14 pm

Off course its wages, I bet everyone would have done the same if they were in Ledleys position. If I was getting paid in my job at £9.00 an hour and someone came along and offered me more more, I would jump ship as well in order to make a better living for myself and my family. End of the day, he was free to do what he liked, he fulfilled his contract.

But I do agree Celtic was a bad move, but this could be due to his agent, but we dont know the truth of what went on between Ledley and the Ridler, but at least we should thank Ledley for what hes done at our club. The same applies to Matthews (which wasnt his fault for leaving, and I know hes bit gutted in leaving now, coz he would have loved to have stayed if he can play first team football) and Loovens.

Nail on head.

If I was working for my FAMILY and they were paying me shite wages and
other people were earning more, right under my nose... and if someone
came along and told me they'd quadruple my wages for doing the same job...

I'd be off.

Would it make me disloyal to my family...

Or were they letting ME down in the first place??
