Sorry mate but that’s garbage. In the 80s and 90s on the rare occasions our games were broadcast we had to endure the commentary of Richard Shepherd, a dyed in the wool Blueturd now referred to as ‘Cardiff City historian’. In the early 80s he commentated on a Swans v Cardiff game at the Vetch and when the vermin scored he famously blurted out “We’ve scored, we’ve scored, Cardiff City have scored.”
I live in Aberystwyth, when I tune in to Radio Wales on a Saturday afternoon (FM or DAB) I invariably get commentary on Cardiff’s games. They broadcast Swans games “in the south west”. Evidently Ceredigion has been annexed, Putin style, by south east Wales.
Commentary on games on RW is provided by Nathan Blake, Jason Perry, Kevin Ratcliffe and Ian Walsh. All four played for Cardiff, Ian Walsh played 37 times for the Swans 40 years ago. As it happens he’ll always be a hero to me because he scored the winner in my first ever Swans game, but hardly the club legend Blake and Perry are to the vermin. In fact, I know Danny, Walsh’s son, and he’s an out and out Bluebird who hates the Jacks. Could we not have the likes of Curt, Leon, Trunds, Freestone etc?
You make reference to Ellis James’ podcast. Ellis is a Swans fan, yes, his two ex-pros are Iwan Roberts (neutral - possible Wrexham leanings) and Danny Gabbidon, Cardiff legend. Hardly a pro-Swans fan show. Check out the episode after our recent derby win. They say all the right things about the Swans not getting the credit they deserved amid the McCarthy failings diatribes, spend the next 5 mins lauding the Swans before launching into a 20 mins McCarthy failings diatribe.
For the record, I have no hidden agenda. I’m a first language Welsh speaker whose flag is Y Ddraig Goch. I regard the butcher’s apron in the same way I do the US Confederate flag. But BBC Wales impartial on the football front? Do me a favour. |

We could easily be 4-1 down...to 🟨 Belarus...on neutral ground. I know we’re depleted with the withdrawals but this is an embarrassment.
None of the players are performing, but for me the issue is Page, who is tactically inept and way out of his depth. Has anyone seen anything from the Cardiff kid that merits a place in international football, because I don’t get it?! But Page seems to be playing him up top; a teenager who’s barely played for his club out of position. Culls hasn’t been great for us, but at least he plays and is a forward. Jesus, I’d have league 1 Jephcott ahead of this guy.

You can add their reporting of the Battle of Orgreave to that list KJ. Absolutely appalling and a clear abuse of their supposed impartiality. To this day they maintain that a mistake was made when BBC staff at the time denied this saying they were ordered to change the sequence of events in the report to make it look like SYP had attacked the miners only after the miners had thrown stones at them. With this an opportunity was lost to identify the frankly unlawful actions of SYP which could have made a difference at Hillsborough just a few years later. Fvck the BBC. |

It’s a recurring theme. I’ll never forget Dave Moans crucifying Adam Matthews for an own goal in our promotion season. The own goal was hysterically comical (diving header into the top corner, think it was at Ipswich), sure, but the guy was about 18 at the time and Moans pretty much blamed him for the defeat. The Basseys then berated him for going to Celtic on a free soon after, meaning they didn’t get any compensation because he’d gone to another UEFA country’s league (as Ratboy did). Rancid club, even worse fans. |

Ah, I’d have been more impressed if you’d been at the Thornber game. You’d have been pretty lonely on the terraces, we were seriously shite in those days (as you’d expect when you’re relying on Steve Thornber to do the business). |

Hawthorns? I wasn’t there unfortunately, but I used to record our goals off the news back in those days. There was a dozy looking tw@ in the home end behind the goal who got more and more agitated with every goal that went in, much to my amusement. West Brom are vying with Stoke for ‘most hated English club’ in my eyes. |

Ah yes, remember now. Wasn’t it a 3 yard screamer into an open goal to give us a thoroughly undeserverved 2-1 win? Maybe that was the other goal. |

I remember two of these scored in the same game at Wigan along with Shechter (all of them sh!t goals too as I recall). Strangest set of goalscorers since Steve Thornber came off the bench to score a hat-trick to bring us back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at the Hawthorns in the 90s! |

94%. Got Narsingh wrong. I’d forgotten the fecker existed.
That’s the last time I click on a FLW link - took about 10 mins for me to get into the quiz thanks to all the fecking adverts. |

I’d assumed the thick *removed* had forgotten QPR play in blue and white and hadn’t taken their away kit with them.

Course, being offended by things you see on here is easily remedied - you need only fvck off back to your own board.  |

Failonline can’t bear the prospect of an all-Swans academy back four (plus Allen and James) for Wales at the Euros. Bet they’re desperate for him to fail, especially since he’s from C**diff.
The kid has bags of potential. |

He and Rangel complemented each other brilliantly too, both in attack and defence. |

Kevin Amankwaah?
In seriousness, I'd stick OTJ in there. Signed for £5k and although he was injured for most of his time at the club when he played he was good, and we made £195k profit when we sold him (minus cost of knee surgeries). |
