[Archived] Cardiff City v Rovers League Cup quarter-final

[jim mk2]

Is anyone else going or will I be there on my own ? Many tickets have been returned I understand.

[cn174]

We're going. Would love to say I'm looking forward to a midweek night cup away game. But I'm just not.

[AggyBlue]

Don't forget to wear you're Kean out T shirts

[Stuart]

Could be a really bad week to be playing Cardiff and Swansea. Feelings may be running high and these two games in the space of five days could define our season.

I am not sure what winning this game will do for us , a 2 legged semi final against Liverpool , Chelsea ,Man u ,Arsenal or Man City..Which will end in certain defeat over the 2 legs....

But we need a win of some description ,alas victories in previous rounds didn't do much for us either ...

In hindsight (a great thing) we would have been better off losing to the geordies ...

I hope all the fans who attend enjoy the day out , once upon a day I would have been there myself regardless of league position ..

In those days ,we were a proper football club with proper owners who cared deeply about the club ...

[stuwilky]

Im going. With some othe forum types.

Shame we have match tickets though admittedly, might spoil a decent few days away.

[Plastic Head]

Who cares.

[Mike Graham]

When is the game?

When is the game?

Tuesday night.

[FourLaneBlue]

Winning this game will...

1. Lead to a semi-final loss against one of the boys

2. Allow Kean to do another x1million interviews. In those he will say that we have shown we are excellent in the cups, so just need to produce it in the league.

3. Give Kean more time to say that the players and owners can all see what they are trying to do, and that they just need to work hard on the training pitch to put it right, as all we need is one win to kickstart the season.

I look at our league position and shake my head were this tie is concerned.

We haven't had proper owners since Jack Walker died in 2000. The Walker Trust are as much if not more to blame for the state of our club as Venky's are.

[Steve Moss]

I hope we win this one. We need some good news.

Though I'd prefer Kean being sacked.

Perhaps the Prime Mover will have mercy on us and: 1) Kean will be sacked; and, 2) we'll win.

[NeRvOuS Wr3Ck]

We maybe playing them twice next season lol

[Hughesy]

Any win is good news, so I hope we win. Who knows, it might just help us with abit of confidence for Saturday.

[mr bishi]

Is it being televised?

[Ricky]

Me and the wife are heading down for a days Christmas shopping followed by the match. Have to say the Christmas shopping has got me more excited than the match which is worrying!!

[NeRvOuS Wr3Ck]

Is it being televised?

No sorry

[Sparky Marky]

Getting to semi will only enhance keans position with the owners. However a defeat to a team in a lower league might get them to consider it. As we cant win the cup, Im looking for us to lose this.

I'm going, staying in Bristol with my niece. Train up on Tuesday.

[Mercer]

This match is bad news whether we win or lose.

Win and it's almost certain we stop @ the semis and it gives Kean, possibly, more time.

Lose then at least we are out and can 'concentrate on the league', however, you can bet Kean will field a strongish team as he knows from a personal point of view that a win is important, however, we will play Swansea on Saturday with more fatigue in the legs than them.

Cardiff is pretty nice these days. It used to be a complete hole, but millions and millions have been spent doing it up and it's a great city these days. Great place to shop.

I too am thinking of heading to this one. I'm currently living in Bath, so thinking of getting the train up to Bridgend, stay with the grandparents and go to the game.

Can you just pay in at the door as an away supporter?

They won't even know it's a team from a lower league. Kean will tell them that Cardiff is a top team from another European country, which is theoretically true.
