I’ve actually lost my voice from shouting at the mighty Bluebirds for so long tonight, such was the tension in this game.
The away leg at Selhurst Park was nerve-racking enough but watching this vital match was even worse – even though I was only bellowing at the TV screen this time.
Being forced to sit down in uncomfortable plastic seats at a football game is a bit like going to see The Clash and being asked to sit down and be quiet.
This game had everything – except a win for Cardiff.
We had Millwall fans fighting amongst themselves, dodgy refereeing, sending offs, a penalty revoked, fightbacks, a fantastic atmosphere and, sadly, a Cardiff fan falling from the top tier of the stadium to the empty seats below after we scored.
From the thread that just keeps on giving on urban75.

Blackpool 3 Cardiff City 2 – Championship Play Off Final, Wembley
So we missed out on the Premiership. It was a great game, Blackpool just deserved it and we never really recovered after Boothroyd limped off injured.
Turn off the sub-U2 backing drone of Futuretown’s ‘What Are We Waiting For’, stick on some slamming drum’n'bass, Pistols or The Clash, and soak up this glorious video showing Cardiff City’s magnificent season.
Let’s hope we can crown it off with a win at Wembley tomorrow.
Nervous? You bet!
With Cardiff preparing for their third trip to Wembley in as many years, away trips like these seem a distant memory, but die hard City fans will have memories of many trips to the lesser known football outposts of the nation.
Man, this was an incredible game.
I watched in the Brixton Hootenanny and it was a mighty strange place to watch such a vital match.
The Fulham game was on the other screen right next to us (with, I’ll have to admit, a rather larger crowd), and there were people playing pool in front of the screen showing the Cardiff game.
Here’s another of my occasional series of photo reports from long-forgotten Cardiff City matches, with this one recalling the 2-1 victory over Northampton Town on the 2nd March, 2002.
Rarely has a birthday present been better that this one: Cardiff beating arch rivals Swansea to hoist the team into fourth place, with the prospect of a play off place tantalisingly close.
It takes a certain type of fan to willingly set off on a 350 mile round trip to the bleak, wintry wastelands of Rochdale in the middle of winter.
Away days don’t get much better than this.
By the end of the 1992-3 season, Cardiff had assured their promotion out of Division Three, with a win away at Scunthorpe guaranteeing we’d go up as champions.
This video is hilarious. The clueless American commentator seems to think that a massive mob of Welsh ‘soccer’ fans have somehow transported themselves into a Russian stadium parking lot.
SUDDENLY THE WELSH BREAK FREE!
Backed by dramatic fighting music, the commentator bangs on about the “pre-game showdown” in a “flurry of fists and fire,” as ‘The Welsh’ regroup and form a “defensive bottleneck” on a bridge. It’s absolutely bonkers.
After watching the testosterone-packed, hyperbolic nonsense that is Sky Sports this afternoon, I simply had to post up this superb parody from comedians Mitchell and Webb one more time.
“Football all the time, everywhere!”. Priceless stuff!
Great win today at Selhurst Park, against a Crystal Palace team who battled hard. Here’s a few pics:
