We've been discussing it mate, it's universally popular amongst normal people.
You're right it doesn't. I think I was presuming that's what Billy Davies' meant when he was saying 'job done, you won't score at our place', but I'm giving him too much credit. I'm kicking myself, because I remember thinking during writing that I didn't remember panicking when Earnshaw scored early for them to go 1-0 up, but it was over a decade ago I presumed I'd just forgot.Page 49
You talk about the away goals counting for more in the semi against Forest.
I thought that rule changed in 1999/2000 ish removing any advantage for away goals??
@foggy
Not that it mattered in the big scheme of things
A bit of a story about that game that came from a good friend who was a senior player at Cardiff at that time.
Wow, interesting tidbit that. Not at all surprising though, I think any team should have been rightly worries after seeing our performance against Forest. Although Cardiff could have caused us some real problems with a full fit Bothroyd.A bit of a story about that game that came from a good friend who was a senior player at Cardiff at that time.
The Cardiff team got together to watch the NF v BFC game and could not believe how well we played, they were actually frightened of meeting us in the final - in his words.....
"We lost that final before we went on the pitch for a number of reasons.
1 Our belief had taken a kicking and we feared the worst, your movement was incredible against NF and we simply didn't know how to deal with it
2 A certain striker insisted he played, and forced the issue even though people knew he was not fully fit
3 Tactically we (Cardiff) were not very good or well drilled, and the team was set up wrongly to deal with you"
To say he is bitter about that games is an understatement, as it cost well him over £1m pound in a contract rise that was guaranteed if they went up.
He also said "it was the lowest he had ever felt in football when the final whistle went" - I had to point out it was my best moment in football
I think the ITV franchise has won it. If they don't employ Murray as the main presenter that would be very foolish.
Yes, I picked up on that.
I had to sit through reading all that when I went up to the infamous penthouse to try to stop the suing
I did wonder where that had come from and whether it was just something Karl might have made up for a laugh.
Jose Riga told me. No, it wasn't made up for a laugh. He was quite confused about it. But overall didn't have much bad to say about Owen, who he would only really see at the hotel restaurant drinking red wine.
I can imagine he was confused, it’s a pretty weird thing to say to a professional football manager. Hilarious by the way…
I met Jose not long after he was appointed. (Me and Insiderson have a selfie with him
). We were in Rowleys and it was during the World Cup and Cubero was playing. Even at that stage it was clear all was not well because he refused to identify his No. 2, the one who never got paid. Owen was in the background with 6 young women for company.
I can remember saying to my son he seemed to become less and less confident as the match went on about winning even though they went 1-0 up.A bit of a story about that game that came from a good friend who was a senior player at Cardiff at that time.

That didn’t surprise me.
Which could only be improved by the addition of ….the bunch of c( )unts that they are!The book arrived yesterday afternoon, I've just finished it and found it an excellent read.
I thought the short section about Appleton was informative, but I think the 2nd half of the book was even better than the first, I hadn't fully understood the extent of the financial "transactions" leading up to Judge Smith's judgement until reading this, nor the details behind the suing of fans. My favourite paragraph in the book is on page 172.
... But now they were known and despised all around the world. And they brought it all upon themselves
I am pretty sure AVFTT did and refused.
So why didnt they get papers, quite a lot of stuff was kept up.
The Steed on Back Henry Street was a legend on that. They definitely had to defend to protect identities of their users being threatened
AVFTT got in touch with the people on the ‘list’ to ask permission to delete certain posts, and provide details of the Oyston ‘allegations’.
I don't think there was any legal basis to supply the data, hence no legal papers.
When have they needed permission to delete posts. Maybe they asked certain users if they could pass on their information to the O's. I presume everyone said no.AVFTT got in touch with the people on the ‘list’ to ask permission to delete certain posts, and provide details of the Oyston ‘allegations’.
They didn’t give out any personal info and were really helpful
They certainly didn’t ask me about passing on my details to the Oystons. They just sent me a copy of the allegation and asked if I was happy for them to delete the relevant posts.
No it came from their litigation squad who were trawling socials all day
Having a senior momentIt’s my favourite line
DPA?
Data Protection Act

If that's true about the player insisting - I assume Bothroyd, and I have no reason to suspect you of fabrication - then Jones comes across as weak, allowing him to start.A bit of a story about that game that came from a good friend who was a senior player at Cardiff at that time.

Of course, ta.
Other words were used and were a lot stronger!
You need to gotten with the times.
If it were made into a film I'd love it to be done as a farce. None of this gritty realism.Just finished it... superb.. loved it.
Still think someone like netflicks could turn this into a film.. the football World wouldn't believe it
But well done foggy... Great stuff
