Mode
of Transport:
Scott McCarthy lead this weeks trip, as a McCarthy
Mobile that appears to be on its last legs headed
for Wales, complete with oil trouble, power trouble
and gear box trouble. |
 |
Team:
Mr Wilkins went with a 4-4-2 line up of: Kuipers,
Whing, Butters, Elphick, Lynch; Fraser, Hammond,
El-Abd, Cox; Forster, Revell. |
 |
Kit:
Cardiff were in there traditional kit of blue
shirts, white shorts and blue stockings. The Seagulls
wore there away colors of white jerseys, blue
shorts and white stockings. Michel Kuipers went
for a stunning red, navy and gold goalkeepers
kit, combined with navy shorts and socks. |

Dean
Wilkins Attire:
Mr Wilkins continued his bizarre policy of spending
the entire game in the directors box, which meant
we were unable to glimpse his attire. |
 |
Weather:
Despite fears of torrential rain, Cardiff only
experiences light rain, and only on one segment
of the journey did we see anything torrential. |
 |
Stadium
Rating:
With the new stadium being built behind the main
stand of the current one, Ninian Park is entering
its last phases of use. It remains one of the
final 'real' grounds in existence, with terraces
on two sides complimented by old seated stands.
The away end is now particularly thrilling with
the lowering of the segregation fence. 6/10 |
 |
Food
Rating:
The hotdogs were of the typical lubricated penis
type found, and we were pleased to see that such
epic food as Clarks Pies were still on offer.
6/10 |
 |
Entertainment:
None, which was hardly surprising given the lack
of importance attached to the cup. |
 |
Friendliness
of Locals:
Typically Cardiff, in that we attempted to keep
our heads down and not socialise with anyone of
the Welsh dissent. However, when walking back
to the car one was particularly friendly, as she
laughed somewhat hysterically on seeing McCarthy
fall over. 7/10 |
 |
Standard
of Local Females:
Due to our late arrival in Cardiff, no real decent
women were spotted. 5/10 |
 |
Steward
Rating:
As remembered, kind and friendly
and more than willing to share a joke with their
colonial cousins. 8/10 |
 |
Flag
Attention:
The judgment not to hang an English flag up inside
Ninian was taken. The fact we had no ties was
also a complication. |
 |
Match
Report:
The Albions League Cup dream was shattered in
front of only 86 traveling fans at Ninian Park.
Despite being from a league above, it took Cardiff
extra time to break down their visitors, who were
once again as creative as a 90 year old is sexually
active. After holding out for the 90 minutes,
it was within 5 minutes of the restart that the
Bluebirds booked their place in the second round,
as Brightons wait to make it beyond the second
round now stretches back 13 years. |

Thought
of the Day:
Would eating your own scrotum be as painful if
you cooked it yourself, due to the pride you could
take in cutting off, seasoning, marinating, cooking
and serving up such a culinary delight? |
