4. I have NO intention of causing trouble/spiltting fans. My opinion is that SOME of Carl's recent predictions were false, I think this format is a way of covering his butt. I fail to see how this simple opinion could split fans
5. I have no idea why Baker's been brought into this. I don't know the kid.
6. You thought I was better than what? Being man enough to express a different opinion?
Show me the exact post Carl has GOT WRONG ?
Also when has Carl himself admitted he is getting it wrong (u have said in yr previous post) ?

You mean so they can preach to the converted? Debating gossip is one of the great things about football.

Yes I agree I love good debates, but just saying everything is bollocks/shit/rubbish etc is not a debate, Show me 10 things that Carl has got wrong and I will show you 50 he has got right. I await your 10 things

Is that the best you can do, Carl thought it was Mackay and when Shearer was announced,which none of us knew about at the time, Carl thought he had got it ALL WRONG and was man enough to admit it, but in the end he was not wrong

But to be honest it's nothing to be ashamed about as Carl admitted when he said he was wrong( fair play to him) so I don't really get why your saying he was right ?
As I said before no one new what was going on. Not me, not you, or not Carl.

Did Carl ever say that Hughton had the job?

I come on here and enjoy what people have to say about anything to do with Cardiff City, I go thru every post and take in what people have typed. I especially take note of what Carl and Annis has to say whether it be fact, rumour, gossip or whatever, because I feel they are a very good read.
As far as I know, except for the Shearer post which never came about anyway, which Carl actually admitted he was wrong, which infact turned out to be correct in what he told us in the first place about Mackay, Carl has NOT been far off being right on anything he has said on here, and most of the time he has been spot on, I can only speak for myself and in what I read and see. I know Annis but I don't know Carl personally but I feel he is a very nice guy that is trying to keep us fans upto date with things he knows that OTHER people have told him, now I for one am quite happy with that being that he is hardly ever wrong. Carl or Annis do NOT need to do this and I wouldn't blame them if they decided to stop because of all the shit and abuse they get on here. I would be very happy if Carl or Annis told us what they know and if they or their source once in a while get things wrong then so what, afterall they are only human, if anyone don't like it then don't read it because some of us are more than happy to read what has to be said about Cardiff City whether it be true or false.
Give the guys a break and let them carry on all the good work that they do because otherwise we would all be very much in the dark about everything and I personally think that would be worse.
It's pretty simple from where I stand, if you don't like what Carl posts then don't read it, if your criticism of him is constructive then no problem but there is no need to abuse the man.
That is just my opinion and if I get slagged off because of it then I couldn't really give a shit.
We are ALL City fans and we should respect each other and not use this board to fight amongst ourselves and get a divide between us, it's absolutely ludicrous, we all love our beloved Bluebirds.
Onwards and Upwards

I doubt Carl would get as much stick if he just stuck to the gossip. It's the very clear agenda in lots of the "updates" that winds people up.

if carl comes on here states some things he has heard and carl is wrong then dear me why do people go after carl, make comments or try and snipe. he is only passing on what he has heard and im sure its nothing personal from him if it is wrong. he is just a middleman and the term 'dont shoot the messanger' could not be any more suited here.
i like his updates. im glad he goes out of his way to pass on his info. nobody is forcing him (ok maybe annis is forcing him) but he still does go through the effort of typing it up for us. I like how he may be 80% right every time, i love the 80% truth, but i also love equally the 20% that turns out not to be so correct because sometimes it does make a good debatee on here and adds to the amazing rollercoaster that CCFC is.
we all support the same club guys....jesus how can we support a team on the pitch if we arnt one off it !!

For the record, I don't hate Carl ffs, I don't even know the guy and as I've said many many times, he comes across as a nice bloke. He DOES take a lot of stick, and only once can I recall him having a pop back.
Neither am I jealous, either of Carl or his knowledge. Neither could I give a toss frankly, about which board gets the most hits.

Since Carls update I cant stop thinking about Hughtons shambolic interview details, the indecision and going to Lennie for advice as if its "what do we now?" and the contradictary info coming out of there. I like Gethin, but this is where Sam would have been SO handy.
