following on from this...

Quote:
just thought that I would share my horrific experiences of Sunday 6th April, 2008 ? a day that I wont forget in a long while. It being FA Cup semi final day for championship teams Barnsley FC and Cardiff City. I?m originally from Hull, but I?ve been in the smoke for 20 years now, I?ve got a soft spot for the Tigers, but am a firm Arsenal supporter and an ardent England follower of 40 years, I am also a regular in the Globe at Baker Street, so I thought I?d pop my head in and see what was going on in terms of pre-match atmosphere?..what a mistake. The pub and the streets around were chocker with the worst level of thugs that I have ever come across in my entire life, all of whom were Cardiff ?fans?. Now I know every club has it?s 2% of trouble making scrotes and Stone Island wearing granddads who should really know better, but this was something like I?ve never seen before.

Supposed Cardiff ?fans? none of whom have probably been to more than one game this season were on a free for all to degrade and disgust as much as they could about England. Chants included ?England is full of ****? and ?English C*nt? aimed in my direction because I had my Arsenal woolly hat on. I took one step in the Globe to see one idiot actually urinating on the floor to the delight of his mates who cheered him on to ?**** on the English ****e?. This wasn?t the infamous Soul Crew this was blue shirt wearing ?fans?. I was gobsmacked and took a step back, as I did a bottle hit the back of a Cardiff fan next to me, I presume it was aimed at me.

He went steaming into the pub, and I left sharpish. As I walked away nothing but vile racist anti-English abuse was thrown in my direction. I was horrified, the Globe is a legendary England Pub and to see it treated in this way really cut me up. I?ve been to Cardiff on numerous occasions, to the millennium stadium to watch both football and rugby and I would never dream of treating, Wales, the Welsh or Cardiff in this way. I?ve seen trouble at games before, but the disgraceful behaviour witnessed here was something else.

On my way back I past a pub with some Barnsley fans in, I was going to have a pint with them, but then about 15 Cardiff including a very fat family with woman and kids walked towards the pub and started shouting foul mouthed anti English abuse at the Barnsley fans inside. When the doormen wouldn?t let them in, the fat woman who looked a bit like the fat scouse bird off of Shameless, squatted down, removed a tampon from her bits and threw it at the pub window, where it stuck like a limpet. This was in front of her kids, and is an image that turned my stomach and will live with me forever. A club like Cardiff who are a fair sized championship Club should not have this kind of ?fan? in the 21st century.

Having been back at work two days and sharing stories with friends and colleagues from across London and beyond I found that similarly disgusting incidents had happened elsewhere, one of my colleagues witnessed a Cardiff shirt wearing bloke in his 50s spit on a Barnsley shirt wearing child outside Euston Station! In Brentford, Ealing, Alperton and Camden Cardiff kicked off not just with Barnsley fans but with anyone who wasn?t Welsh, even in Reading on the way home they were causing trouble instead of celebrating. I want to share these terrible experiences with every club in the land ? Cardiff city do not deserve a place in the FA Cup final on the strength of their fans behaviour, nor in the English Football league. I?m no Portsmouth fan and I know they have a good sized idiot following but I hope they stuff Cardiff in the final. This isn?t Portsmouth V Cardiff anymore, or Premier League V Championship?this is England V Wales. I?m proud of my country (and of The Globe my pub). I sincerely hope for the final it is full of genuine Portsmouth fans who I will be happy to share banter with rather than inebriated Welsh racist trouble makers with an agenda of hatred against anything English
i'd have to vote for portsmouth!

but i guess all clubs have their share of idiots...

Cardiff for me.

Much as I love Harry for being Jamie's dad, who was such a fabulous player for Liverpool in his time, I would love a non Premiership team to win it.

My reason is very lame, but it is because I live closer to Cardiff than Portsmouth, plus my old Man lives in the Rhonda area.
