League Cup Quarter Final Draw | Brentford (H)

[Vienna_70]

Not the worst draw.

 

[bearcityblu]

Any home game would have taken. In saying that Brentford won't be easy.

 

[Burtonblue]

Home is the key.
Confident we will be ok.

 

[dom]

A home tie is good news..Brentford are definitely beatable

 

[Winchester]

Not suggesting you are making that up but its not something I have heard of or witnessed down there and i hardly missed a game in the 80s and 90s.
A disgusting and sick act though and I am sure whoever threw it got time behind bars

Well she was 15 yards to my right and I sure didn't dream it
Cardiff gate that season prior to the tie was roughly 5000
When we rolled into town the gate was eventually given as 20000 I seem 5o remember, every nutter from SW Was there
Own coach recieved a police escort 10 miles from the ground
Then at FT They charged at us chucking Golf balls as mentioned plus other things and the OB Just stood and watched as it became a battle
Until 10 or so finally got on the pitch in an attempt to disperse their baying new found fans
Scary...

 

[Lee the Blue]

As good a draw as we could've asked for that. QF is last chance for home advantage and we have that. Only 2 rounds from the final now so a distinct chance of a pot here if we apply ourselves

 

[Talywain Blue]

Yep inbreds the lot of them and their "Soul Crew" name

the club sold tickets the sunday before the game, 4 tickets to anyone that turned up at ninian park, and they were fighting eachother in the queue to get tickets so yes, a massive amount of idiots that weren't real fans got tickets, piss poor from the club and pretty much guaranteed their would be trouble and its shocking to hear about issues like this, i did hear there was trouble before and after, didn't see any myself but never took an interest in the violence and was in the pub celebrating not throwing punches or golfballs.
But to say all Cardiff fans are inbreds....Really? I am not an inbred I am a good person as are most Cardiff fans I know, like a lot of clubs they got a few bad apples but theres more good than bad down there, same as all clubs.

 

[exiled-blue]

Thats a favourable draw for us. Brentford at home is a nice draw for us and arsenal getting palace helps too.

How does Arsenal getting Palace help us against Brentford?

 

[Citycity76]

All tickets should be £10

 

[youngbob]

City, Newcastle, Palace, and Chelsea in the final four, I reckon.

Let's win this. Love this cup.

Sorry you.must have been walking around with a blindfold on
There WAS Trouble before during and after
And as for idiots yeah they've got a lot
I remember Sam Hamman some years later defending the SC Behaviour when it ko
No offence m8 but I know what I saw and that experience in the away end was shocking, anyway that's that gn

 

[chesterbells]

This will have to be played on the Wednesday (17th).

Yep, looking at the league fixtures the weekend before, Cardiff vs Chelsea could go Tuesday 16th (both play on the Saturday) and the other 3 (where at least one team is playing Sunday) on Wednesday 17th. That would be my best guess.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Arsenal v Palace, one of the favourites out.

Cardiff v Chelsea, stuffy cunts.

You can see Sky rubbing their cocks at the prospect of Cole Palmer V City double header Semi if we get through.

 

[TinFoilHat]

rags with another easy draw.

Emmerdale Away?

The Dingles could surprise them.

 

[TinFoilHat]

I remember them throwing Gllf balls with nails in them at us,
One struck a woman on the cheek
I remember her scream
It was dire and lawless

Gllf Balls....

Isn't that what the grannies call Wayne Rooney?

No offence taken, as i said, i am not denying there was trouble, only saying i was there and didnt see any and I wasnt wearing blindfolds, i know the experience of an away fan can be very different to a home fan but don't go calling people inbreds because you don't like them, theres too much dehumanization going on in the UK right now without involving football fans.
Not sure what Sam Hamman has got to do with a game that took place years before he took over the club, but he didnt speak for me or represent my or my friends views. 32 years ago now lol :)

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

A different era, but a very scary day at Cardiff cup tie. Blues being attacked everywhere but post match Carfiff came to the coach park and got smacked senseless. Welsh Dippers and rags who turned up for a fight found they had stepped out of their league and found not all City fans were easy targets. Just behind the Liverpool semi and Everton quarter in 1981 in scariest ever days.

We drew Brentford? I'm sorry you get scared at football matches.

How does Arsenal getting Palace help us against Brentford?

Where did i say it helps us beat Brentford? Isn't it obvious that Arsenal and Palace are two of the favourites so them drawing each other eliminates 1 before the semi-finals? That fixture is a positive for all remaining teams.

 

[dennishasdoneit]

lol, wasn't much of a battle as i remember it, good day out though

It was a battle. On the park between the Rugby ground and the footy ground
Ther were bodies laid out under trees..I know this for sure as me and a mate were in the rugby club till 5 mins after k.o.....pissed out me head...at the end of the park was the away end turnstiles,but there was a street between the park and the away end .Pitched battles were still going off well after k.o.
We managed to get into the away end unscathed...to be informed that a City fan at Cardiff station had been stabbed.
It was kicking off all day that day .it was indeed a battle. Some other mates were fighting on the street o//s the away end after the match too
Think Genesis.
' The Battle of Epping Forest ".....This was the. Battle of Ninian Park.
Kicked off at Newport train station too well before the match.
Basically fighting all day pal
