Cardiff City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I have a feeling that I heard previously that Ben Turner was a Bluenose? He's definitely from Brum. Played well against us last night anyway.

He is.

The question is then, is he that good all the time, or does he just try harder against us?

I think we all know the answer to that one.

One point from two games from teams that we should be expecting to beat is bad I feel disappointed again second half was better than the first we really need to start winning games.

Did anyone else see some idiot throw a mannequin head towards the pitch ?

It hit the back of the advertising boards with a hell of a thud.

Hopefully they'll have it on CCTV and can take some action.

Fuck a duck:

The Villan of the piece

ASTON VILLA fans were blamed for showing the ugly side of football at Cardiff last night — after one of them chucked a grotesque mask onto the pitch.

The macabre incident during Villa’s ghoul-ess draw with the Bluebirds spooked a nearby snapper who was nearly hit by the plastic projectile.

It was definitely a mannequin's head, not a "grotesque mask".

A bloke walked up the steps between 121 and 122 with the head held aloft in full view of the stewards.

A few minutes later it was thrown towards the pitch.

Grotesque mask.

I said to my brother I think someone's just thrown a skull. He ignored me as usual and I promptly forgot all about it till reading this thread.

Save from Weimann

FOR FUCKS SAKE!

Is what I shouted at the game on seeing this and its what I have been very tempted to shout in the office, having watched it, like the Zapruder film, again and again.

Looking at it again he did the right thing. The keeper was moving to the near post and would probably have been able to get something on a direct shot. The way he (the keeper) twisted back made it a great save.

Agreed.

Quite a lot of Welsh Villa there last night. There is something quite melodic to a Welshman shouting "fucking hell Gabby!"

The two blokes behind me were North American (could have been Canadian but I'm not sure)

The best way to tell involves the word 'about', which Yanks pronounce like the English though with a softer 't'. Canadians pronounce it 'aboot' like the Scots. So, next time, ask them to repeat a sentence such as "Why did Gabby fuck aboot instead if just scoring?"

Sunderland could have a fixture backlog which will be useful - they have a cup final coming and tonight's game has been cancelled by Manchester police on safety grounds .

I saw Bladen with the Welsh Hedlu escorting a group of "risk" Villa fans before the game and then pushing some more up against a fence and taking a video of them saying their names into a camera.

"It's Mr Bladen to you!"- he had a bit of a strop on.

Who is Mr Bladen? Is he a rogue vigilante?

[Legion]

PC Bladen to you.

[brian green]

I would think that the weather did not help the general mood of the fans.

[Legion]

Yes, they'd have had to put their shirts back on.

[brian green]

I thought Bladen was a Toon fan.   They are always singing about him.

Just seen your boy braving the wind and rain in blackpool - doubt his mood will be good either tonight.

The slow mo replay on the save makes is look less good than it was. It was in. And then it somehow wasn't

Weimann should have drilled it into the far corner with his left and given him no chance though.
