Cardiff City manager Omer Riza says he was disappointed by S

Cardiff City manager Omer Riza says he was disappointed by Stoke City fans booing Aaron Ramsey on his latest return from injury.


Stoke's supporters jeered the Wales captain every time he touched the ball during Cardiff's FA Cup win at the Bet365 Stadium on Saturday, his first club appearance since August.


But the reason for such treatment from the Potters' fans was another injury, as it was at the same ground that, in 2010, Ramsey had his leg broken by then-Stoke centre-back Ryan Shawcross.


It was an horrific injury that kept Ramsey out for eight months, and Stoke fans have booed the former Arsenal and Juventus midfielder whenever he has returned to play there since.




OMER RIZA:

"I was really surprised by that and disappointed for Aaron because it's not nice," Riza told BBC Radio Wales.
"But he's got a character big enough to deal with it. He's got a lot of people around him who care for him, a lot of people who love him.

"So a bit of booing at Stoke will only push him to be better."

Ramsey, 34, was playing for the first time since injuring his hamstring while playing for Wales last September.
He managed 63 minutes against Stoke before being replaced, as was planned beforehand.


"The qualities he's got and had over the course of his career, you could see a mile away," Riza added.
"Hopefully we can ease him in slowly and see him a lot more."


That was Ramsey’s only 9th Start since he rejoined the Bluebirds in 2023, having made a total of 18 appearances ( half as a Sub) out of 84 games available.

Just goes to show the mentality of the inbreds in Stoke. It's one of the worst cities I've ever been to, dirty smelly streets and the people are the same. Ramsey had the last laugh though, and I think we can all be proud of the team and look forward to the draw tomorrow.

Booing Rambo just doesn’t make any sense at all?!

Not sure what point there were trying to make it’s completely ridiculous

By the way he played ok for his first game in months life in the old dog yet

Yss there fans where singing when he waved at the end of the game

"He walks with a limp".
He walks with a limp
Aeron ramsey
He walks with a limp.

Very scummy fans.

Glad Ramsey had the last laugh.

Joke of a club, all they are known for is a long throw

I agree mate. If he'd been the leg breaker I could understand it
