About time you smelled the Coffee mate. We all want Blue, but Tan out is the wrong approach. Tan has done a lot of good things for our club.


:lol: there was no apology for you. Nothing to do with smelling any coffee. BU has changed its stance recently - it wasn't always like this. :thumbright:


Good on you Barry. It takes a brave man to admit he's wrong.

Welcome to the moderate Pro Blue club.

Wear your Blue shirt with pride.

Agree. Speak to some of the people she has (polite wording) "debated" the situation with ;)

It doesn't make for pre-watershed listening, as any 'non-compliance' with her views is teated with contempt :oops:

My stance hasn't changed regarding the rebrand, I've just chosen not to support BU, as they aren't looking primarily for a return to blue & I will join any reasonable protest & one that does it in the correct way.

I never heard any racism Barry but like someone said further up the thread there was plenty of Tan out chants(not from me though) I'm pretty sure any racism would not be tolerated, Cardiff have never been about that in years gone by not even in the old days when it was rife at other clubs

This is Chuckles we are talking about he is a sensitive old soul.

I marched today. I have disagreed with a few things that BU have done, but looked beyond that and went along as I want blue back & wanted to do something to air that view. Many are looking for the "perfect protest", which is simply impossible - as everyone has different views.

Sadly, today's march has given me a different view of BU & it is not in favour of BU.

I arrived at the castle with a friend and we were greeted warmly by some other fans. I asked some questions to other fans about Tan & I was given the distinct impression that if I didn't want Tan out, then I wasn't really welcome on the march.

Ignoring this, I marched anyway. It begun well enough (apart from someone's child in a full red strip in the middle of the photo opportunities! :lol:). It soon became apparent that the march wasn't about blue, but about TAN OUT.

To the several people who I have discussed this with over the past week or so, I apologise (Craig, Mario Polotelli et al) - as you were right & I was wrong. BU is about getting Tan Out, which is not the right way to go.

The songs sung went from singing about Swansea (why? totally pointless) to calling Tan a ladyboy and songs with a racist element.

The plan was to stop at the Ninian gates and tie blue scarves, posters, shirts, banners etc to the gates - great idea I thought... except that the gates were pretty much bypassed & headed straight for the grandstand.

Crowds quickly dispersed from there & we were left with a few climbing on the Keenor statue (and we have a go at Tan for disrespecting CCFC history?!) & it fizzled out.

BU had much promise, but I fear that today's event did it far more damage than good.

chuckles what were the racist songs that Bu supporters sang because on bu's Facebook page their saying your starting a smear campaign against them.

No, I've just got a life outside of the world of BU.

Songs that were sung were at best, extremely distasteful & at worst could be construed as racist. Certainly not the sort of song that you'd expect a well organised protest group to sing.

BU was all about returning to blue - stick to that and do it in a respectful way (ie not abusing, disrespecting or questioning the support of any one else who wears red etc.) & I'm sure they would get a lot more support.

Or has the damage already been done?

If you say racist songs were chanted what were they.

it seems only chuckles heard these songs,so after labeling Bu racist he should have the decency to say what the songs were. :thumbup:

I know Alfie said that. Funnily enough, I spoke with him & his son prior to the march. He's a very nice chap. Doesn't mean that it didn't happen. I didn't see the can thrown at a minibus, doesn't mean that it didn't happen.

I haven't called BU racist at all - please stop making things hp. A small minority were singing distasteful songs which could easily be construed as racist. (That's certainly how I read it)

These songs are not the sort of songs that ANY protest group should associate themselves with.

You have labeled BU racist and their not happy with you.
Your saying they were racist songs so tell us so we can make our own minds up.Or are you lying because it seems your the only person who heard these"racist" songs.
Now put up or apologise to Bu. :thumbup:
