my point being if you wouldn't pick ramsay for league one cardiff over rubin
then why would you pick him for Wales over rubin when the competition will be a higher standard than league one

Seen a few comments on instagram saying Rubin was the player who complained and got Bellamy the sack from City’s youth set up for bullying. Do anyone know if this is true, or just bulls***. I do feel sorry for Rubin as he’s done enough to at least get called up especially when you see players like Sheenan, Harris, and Ramsey who hasn’t played many games.

As good as he’s been by his standard for us this season he is now in league 1 and has never been consistent higher up. Why would they pick him?
No real shock here for me.
If we were still in the championship and he was putting in equivalent performances then maybe. He needs to keep on developing as a player and prove himself at a higher level consistently. It’s over to him now.

not too sure but I was under the impression that it was the English boys from the academy who's parents complained because I'm sure they even called him "racist" too

but that could also just be hear say

My point being it's not one or the other, there's a lot of other players to consider & it's not CCFC it's Wales.

If it was CCFC then obviously Rubin going on this seasons form BUT it's not & I haven't even heard of Ramsey playing or how he's doing, never mind seen him play.

Those rumours are a load of shite. If they were remotely true, then why did Bellamy call him up to the squad last year? Why did he try to call him up as a replacement last month? He literally said in a press conference last year that he knows Ruben really well and they 'speak quite a lot'.

Ah yes, that must explain why he's picked Joel, Lawlor and Kpakio then.


and why he picked Ramsey


Ramsey is the captain. When you're a national team captain, if you're playing for your club then you will always be in the squad.


can't just keep selecting Ramsey when he has the injury problems that he has captain or not

I've always been A fan of ramsay but he's not the same player anymore we should know better than anyone

and Bellamy himself was the one who said he will pick based on consistency so you can surely forgive some people for raising an eyebrow when you look at some in that squad




As rambo. Been injured in Mexico? Can't say dont ay because he's injury prone! As said he's captain he plays if fit enough bellers left him out as not fit last time so argument on injuries is mute point.... a fit rambo is ahead of most in team if played in correct position.


ramsay was fit for us at times and was still a shadow of the player he once was the only game I think I remember him being any influence in was the jacks and Leicester game in his first season under bulut

I don't understand how he is bang to rights if fit

I don't like talking about Ramsey like this coz as said before always been a fan
but taking opportunities from up and coming talent when he'll probably have to sit every other game out just seems wrong to me


How is he taking an opportunity from anyone? Ramsey didn't pick the team CB did.


I didn’t mean Ramsey I meant to say Bellamy so sorry for the confusion


I have a question for you all though and be honest I'm not trying to start arguments or anything because I agree with most of you most of the time but

solely based on this season if you had the option to have Ramsey in the cardiff team instead of rubin would you take it?


Rambo every time in fact he would suit this team very well.... rambo ability is far superior to rubin ..hence why he's in Wales squad and not rubin.

Re: RUBIN COLWILL LEFT OUT AGAIN? AS 3 CARDIFF PLAYERS INCLU

Tue Sep 30, 2025 4:25 pm

I don't think we should be comparing Ramsey and rubin as I think Ramsey will be used as a holding midfielder and is competing with jj and sheehan where as rubins up against wilson Brooks and Cullen and for me he gets in over Cullen every time who I think is bang average

you may have a point there because I believe he played there last time for Wales now that think about it

Well may have to agree to disagree on that

if it was Ramsey from maybe 5 years ago I would also pick him but I think he's past his best now

but we all have our own opinions

I just don't think rambo has the legs to be the box to box midfielder he's always been but if you sit him next to jj or amapadu in a deep role he still has the technical ability to control a game

The simple fact is that Rubin goes missing in games and is not consistent enough to be selected for International football. I agree with Bellamy. Hopefully Rubin improves for future selection, time will tell.

Thanks Froggy, yeah that’s what I thought it was about with the English boys at the academy.

Those rumours are a load of shite. If they were remotely true, then why did Bellamy call him up to the squad last year? Why did he try to call him up as a replacement last month? He literally said in a press conference last year that he knows Ruben really well and they 'speak quite a lot'.

Spot on there, fella! :thumbup:

Sadly, there are a few on here who accept anything they’re told and seem to ‘want’ certain Bluebird players to fail and it’s embarrassing! :oops: :banghead:

Rubin was 100% Not the player who complained :

It was an English lad.

Rubin stayed neutral on it all.

I agree with Bellamy , Reuben started the season well but this is league 1 and tonight against Burton he should be bossing the game , he went missing after 20 mins and that’s against Burton .

100% He is a show pony. He looks flash and has moments of brilliance but no consistency and league one/ champonship is his level because he regularly has nights like this. He was utterly dreadful tonight.

Re: RUBIN COLWILL LEFT OUT AGAIN? AS 3 CARDIFF PLAYERS INCLU

Tue Sep 30, 2025 9:43 pm

If Bellamy watched tonight's game he will say he was fully justified in not picking Colwill if it's a case of inconsistency, because he was absolutely shocking tonight

Re: RUBIN COLWILL LEFT OUT AGAIN? AS 3 CARDIFF PLAYERS INCLU

Tue Sep 30, 2025 9:45 pm

As much as I want Rubin to succeed, the inconsistency Bellamy talked about has been apparent in recent games

Re: RUBIN COLWILL LEFT OUT AGAIN? AS 3 CARDIFF PLAYERS INCLU

Tue Sep 30, 2025 9:52 pm

An idependant source has him as our 2nd best player tonight. Christ, some of you have personal issues with the lad...trending from the last few seasons. I cant wait for his call up.

Imagine having to shut your own fans up!! :roll:

I was one of his biggest critics but what I saw tonight was a guy busting a gut to try & make something happen & not getting much in the way of help from his teammates.

Admittedly, I only watch on the tv so I don't see what's going on off the ball.

I agree I don't think anyone played well tonight but rubin at many points was the only one showing for the cbs and lots of others hiding

the subs tried but it took a bit for them to get in the game and by the end it was too little too late

Well if it was a fit Ramsey, I would take him any day over Rubin. Ramsey was always a 7 or 8 out of 10 every game, can you say the same about Colwill. He started off the season brilliantly and people were saying we'll be lucky to keep him in January, well many more performances like last night and we won't need to fear that. I suspect that Bellamy is thinking to himself "No I haven't made a mistake with this squad selection"

when was Ramsey 7 or 8 out of 10 every game?

because it certainly wasn't in the last 2 seasons for us

I agree prime Ramsey over rubin any day but prime Ramsey doesn't exist anymore

I find it strange how there were many on here saying that he shouldn't play for Wales anymore when he was with us last season and the season before

some were even saying he should even hang up his boots and start his coaching career

I just don't get what has suddenly changed
