What price one of my teams losing a manager to Celtic? #cardiffcity #wales

@GD10 @PenarthRFC @penarthcricket It’s awful mate

Incredibly sad news to wake up to from my home town. Penarth Athletic Club - home to @PenarthRFC and @penarthcricket - is now a charred shell.

#cardfiffcity surely fielding the lowest aggregate age and highest aggregate shirt numbers in history!

I might subscribe to Disney to see that one #cardiffcity

Oh Caerphilly, how did we ever doubt you? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@Jonty_Mark @WalesXl @Sports_CCB @NickMorgan1 Yes Merv!

@WalesXl @Sports_CCB Great stuff @NickMorgan1

🥇MILESTONE REACHED🥇 With 79 vs @Sports_CCB this week, Nick Morgan became the leading run scorer for the Wales District, and also the first player to pass 2000 runs for us.

Last weekend saw three of our young players home completely gutted by a fire which resulted in the whole family losing nearly everything they owned. gofundme.com/f/house-was-bu…

A little bit of Welsh sporting history and a cracking @GlamCricket women’s performance to boot. Da iawn 🏏

@roathboy I don’t think many, if any, wrote him off from day one. But lots of us pointed out from the off that there was nothing on his CV that said ‘manager of a championship club’. I’d love to have been wrong, but was never likely to be

In any walk of life you only know how good your manager is when things go to shit. Riza is not up to this challenge, but if it’s any consolation, I don’t think many are. Those of you that wrote him off from day one, you didn’t know, you were just not prepared to give him a chance

@roathboy That’s just a complicated way of saying we’re the only team with a manager who should never have been anywhere near the job (in any division)

I don’t want to be too defeatist, despite feeling defeated, because it’s still all to play for, but this just occurred to me. All of the teams in the relegation mix have managers that they would be happy to go with in League One and feel confident of a return, except for Cardiff

@Jonty_Mark Wide first slip the cherry on a lovely cake 🍰

@TheSluggman 😍 That's why it was given out. Perfect juxtaposition between depth and width from the bowler, height and length from the keeper with slip adding the "Schmeichel" for good effect. Bravo 👏🏻

Lovely choreography here @Jonty_Mark 👏👏

Has this been the most #CardiffCity week ever?

@DafPritchard I think that might be the end for him. Imagine having his career and it ending like that

Aaron Ramsey looks like he's injured his hamstring again. Took his captain's armband off, sat on the ground looking dejected and has now left the field to be replaced.

@NathanPiddock Some old fella was playing too

@TheSluggman Extremely jealous.

Go Celtics!

@jamieheath_ @henrysaye Beat two championship reserve teams in the cup, one of the worst November/Decembers in memory, heaviest league defeat in decades, a CV barely better than mine. IF he turns out to be good, it’ll still be a fluke (and I’m really hoping he does)

@TheSluggman @henrysaye best derby victory in our lifetime, best cup run in years and nominee for manager of the month in January

It’s easy to post this then to reply individually. Riza almost went after Oxford. The pressure is relentless. Another loss on Saturday could be the end. Still 14 games left. Smiles & cries.
