Cardiff 2-1 Saints - Second Half

[Baj]

Second Half here please

[Bromley Saint]

COYR - you can beat the Blues!

[dubai_phil]

One Bluebird does not make a swallow

or something

COYR

[Poshie72]

Coyr

[NickG]

a goal for McG in first game of season could be worth a lot for us, if he starts strutting confidently he will do well. Saw him play rubbish for youth but just had the air of taking it for granted he would score and he did!

Have missed all first half could listenners give me a quick summary?

walked passed tv with sky sports just before Cardiff scored and they said it was all Cardiff, Kelvin D shining like a beacon for saints and keeping us in it and killer doing ok.

Any other comments on radio as to whats working and not?

[Blanco Saint]

Commentary is on sky channel 0117 bbc Radio Wales -baaaaa

One Bluebird does not make a swallow

or something

COYR

I bet all the girls in cardiff swallow :D

[Ohio Saint]

One Bluebird does not make a swallow

or something

COYR

Swallowing is not the same as scoring? No, wait....I don't know

COYR!!!

[Colinjb]

I bet all the girls in cardiff swallow :D

Only meal they get all week.

[dubai_phil]

Question

Is the combined age of our team actually less that that McNaughton bloke?

[1965onwards]

They only swallow some,then spit the rest back at you.

[TopGun]

A half of two halfs, us and them, then two goals, them and us.

[Iowsaintsfan]

33,000 at Derby today to watch Doncaster!

[scott_saints]

33,000 at Derby today to watch Doncaster!
They're probably there to see Derby tbf.

[pedg]

Have missed all first half could listenners give me a quick summary?


According to audio sources we are going well. According to sky we should have been 10 nil down at half time.

[dubai_phil]

I bet all the girls in cardiff swallow :D

Don't think they ever get the chance

All the sheep and all that

[AwaySaint1]

Question

Is the combined age of our team actually less that that McNaughton bloke?

Think the team is about 215

[Ohio Saint]

33,000 at Derby today to watch Doncaster!

They will soon learn ;)

[dubai_phil]

Think the team is about 215

cool, so we are younger than him then

[AwaySaint1]

33,000 at Derby today to watch Doncaster!

Chavs for a quid?

[Saints foreva]

How many Saints fans up Cardiff today?

[Iowsaintsfan]

They're probably there to see Derby tbf.
I'd rather watch Doncaster!

[TopGun]

33,000 at Derby today to watch Doncaster!

First ever CCC level game for Doncaster. They probably took a few and it isn't that far either.

[Ohio Saint]

Chavs for a quid?

I'll take 5. I need some hardcore for my drive.

[dubai_phil]

How many Saints fans up Cardiff today?

1500 and it's a complete sell out up there

[Arizona]

COYR etc.

[1965onwards]

Why is Davis kicking so much long ball,instead off building from the back.Is the state of the pitch changing the way we were expected to play.

[scott_saints]

Sounds like Cardiff all over us on Radio Wales.

[buctootim]

COYR etc.

See. You can do it if you try.

[Northampton Saint]

Possession on the BBC has gone up from 43% to 46% - hopefully a good sign of things to come.
COYR

[Iowsaintsfan]

Coventry 1 Norwich 0

[Ohio Saint]

So.... Is Surman playing as a wing back?

[TopGun]

Why is Davis kicking so much long ball,instead off building from the back.Is the state of the pitch changing the way we were expected to play.

That has to be a concern. JP was specifically talking about footballing fullbacks.

[AwaySaint1]

Why is Davis kicking so much long ball,instead off building from the back.Is the state of the pitch changing the way we were expected to play.

"If God had wanted us to play football in the clouds, he'd have put grass up there." Brian Clough (21 March 1935 – 20 September 2004)

[saint francis]

So.... Is Surman playing as a wing back?

Yes, left.

Was pretty good there at times last season.

[dubai_phil]

Cope is comparing KD to Edwin Van de Saar....

In a throwing the ball to the FB's sort of way...

[socal saint]

Why is Davis kicking so much long ball,instead off building from the back.Is the state of the pitch changing the way we were expected to play.

will cope disagrees with you mate..

[Um Bongo]

So.... Is Surman playing as a wing back?

yes.

[Iowsaintsfan]

Derby loosing 1-0 to Doncaster! :)

[Huffton]

Derby 0-1 Doncaster. LOL!

[miserableoldgit]

Derby 0 Donny 1 Crowd booing!

[saint lard]

Derby 1-0 down to Donny,he,he.

[scott_saints]

Great save by Davis. Should of been a goal from a header.

[the scud]

Derby 1 - 0 down lol

[LVSaint]

supersave from KD

[Arizona]

See. You can do it if you try.

I want Saints to win as much as anyone and am p*ssed off I could make the 10 hour round trip to Cardiff today.

I just don't think we are very good. Maybe Sky are biased against us, who knows, but I don't think ou can make up about 5 top class saves to keep us in it.

Let's agree on one thing: lol@Derby.

[dubai_phil]

Does sound like we are only getting occassional flashes of possession, Cardiff seem to be all over us, KD great save

[saint lard]

Dyer coming on ,Thompson off.

[Bromley Saint]

Dyer on for Jake Thompson

[Ohio Saint]

Derby 1-0 down to Donny,he,he.

Total coolness!!!

[Ludwig]

Coyr

[RobM]

This is a novelty... a substitution at a sensible time in the game, not so late the man coming on can't make a difference! :D

[dubai_phil]

I want Saints to win as much as anyone and am p*ssed off I could make the 10 hour round trip to Cardiff today.

I just don't think we are very good.

Let's agree on one thing: lol@Derby.

oh yeah
lol

The old "we'll walk this league wake-up call for their fans"

love it

But getting worried about us

Dyer coming on

[saintkiptanui]

I want Saints to win as much as anyone and am p*ssed off I could make the 10 hour round trip to Cardiff today.

I just don't think we are very good.

Let's agree on one thing: lol@Derby.and you have decided this by seeing the new team play how many times??? You need to be un-moderated.

[saint lard]

It sounds as if we are under the cosh somewhat.

[LVSaint]

ouch free header for Cardiff wide...hold it together boys vcome on

[TopGun]

There was some story years ago about Mark Kennedy being found in bed with another bloke and (I think) one of them got stabbed by the g/f who found them... Anyone recall that?

[Bromley Saint]

19,749 - capacity crowd.

[Ex Ringwood Saint]

The welsh radio is commenting about the lack of marking of there big centre backs when they come up for corners...problem is with the younger lads not coping with them ...ie McGoldrick marking at corners...

[Rod Le Shearer]

damn it,they are getting closer. good substitution,getting Dyer on,I think he might do something here !

COYR !

[ExSt Peter Saint]

Who's going to be the first one to make Dyer nicking a goal comments then?

[1965onwards]

They agree with me on Solent

[saintkiptanui]

There was some story years ago about Mark Kennedy being found in bed with another bloke and (I think) one of them got stabbed by the g/f who found them... Anyone recall that?No that was just another one of your dreams, pervert.

[joepublic]

thank you god for the return of Killer

[the scud]

Plymouth 2-1 up v Wolves

[Iowsaintsfan]

Who's going to be the first one to make Dyer nicking a goal comments then?


Already in the 1st half thread

[Leicestersaint]

Come on saints - we can win this - let's score from a corner!

[Arizona]

and you have decided this by seeing the new team play how many times??? You need to be un-moderated.

So nobody who hasn't seen a handful of friendlies against lower league teams is allowed an oppinion? I have seen most of the players in action to various extents and many of them have been far from impressive.

Anyway, Saints have done worse than I have predicted for the last 5 years running.

[Um Bongo]

Let's hope Dyer can steal us 3 points.

[1965onwards]

What ever happens today,it has been great experience for the lads.

[alpine_saint]

The welsh radio is commenting about the lack of marking of there big centre backs when they come up for corners...problem is with the younger lads not coping with them ...ie McGoldrick marking at corners...

Seems to me this problem is apparent to everyone except Jan Poortvillet and Rupert Lowe.

[St Landrew]

He-he. Will Cope really pulling the leg of Dyer with his pick-pocketing comments. If only Dyer could hear them.

[dubai_phil]

Cope hoping that Dyer can pick the pockets of the Cardiff Defenders

Can tell he's no longer employed by SMS:-)

Not even an allegedly?

Worried we are not getting a foot on the ball and seem to be getting blown away

[madruss]

This time last season we were 4-1 down at home to Palace, so it could be worse!

[Um Bongo]

Cope hoping that Dyer can pick the pockets of the Cardiff Defenders

Can tell he's no longer employed by SMS:-)

Not even an allegedly?

Worried we are not getting a foot on the ball and seem to be getting blown away

He got found Guilty, So No, No allegedly. ;)

[scott_saints]

We can't keep the ball!

[TopGun]

This time last season we were 4-1 down at home to Palace, so it could be worse!

Exactly.

[AwaySaint1]

We can't keep the ball!

Are we that broke that we need it for next week?

[CHAPEL END CHARLIE]

Dave Merrington on Radio Solent : " Micheal Svennson has been magnificent today "

[Plumstead_Saint]

Cope hoping that Dyer can pick the pockets of the Cardiff Defenders

Can tell he's no longer employed by SMS:-)

Not even an allegedly?

He pleaded guilty.

[dubai_phil]

He got found Guilty, So No, No allegedly. ;)

:-)

But that was handbags.
Cope seems to be lining up a whole new career move for him into pockets

[Ohio Saint]

"Through the thread of an eye to McGoldrick"? Get a grip Will!! That made no sense in this language!! :)

[Iowsaintsfan]

We can't keep the ball!

nothing new then! 4-1 Wednesday

[ExSt Peter Saint]

I'm worried. I can't see us holding out here.

[AwaySaint1]

"Through the thread of an eye to McGoldrick"? Get a grip Will!! That made no sense in this language!! :)

Is that bbc radio Wales?

[the scud]

Dave Merrington on Radio Solent : " Micheal Svennson has been magnificent today "

Him and Davies will be immense at the back together

[ericofarabia]

"Through the thread of an eye to McGoldrick"? Get a grip Will!! That made no sense in this language!! :)

You beat me to it ... but add .. he's been a bag of energy to the list :rolleyes:

[1965onwards]

We are falling into the trap of just kicking anywhere.Old British habits die hard.

[Ohio Saint]

I'm having trouble with some of the new names. :(

COYR!!!!

[dubai_phil]

I'm worried. I can't see us holding out here.

Don't think we're set up for holding out.

I'm more worried that we seem to have stopped passing and moving

[musesaint]

Sounds like we are under pressure

[Saints foreva]

By the sounds of it we're playing sh*te. :(

[NickG]

Seems to me this problem is apparent to everyone except Jan Poortvillet and Rupert Lowe.

and what is that? playing McG? maybe he failed to mark for a corner but goal in first game is what he is there for?
Or still concerned about experience of our CBs? Perry and Svensson

[the scud]

come on Saints get a grip!

[alpine_saint]

59% possession to Cardif according to the Beeb.

[saint francis]

BWP for Holmes
Watton for Schneiderlin

[TopGun]

Maybe time to circle the wagons, get Wotton on, and stick to break away footie with younger legs...

[Bromley Saint]

BWP on for Homes
Watton on for Schneiderlin

[tombletomble]

Its never easy listening to saints.

[tiger]

According to Solent Saints being forced to defend too deep and Svensson holding things together. Schneiderlin coming off which is a surprise to Merrington.

[St Landrew]

I'm having trouble with some of the new names. :(

COYR!!!!

Same here. Especially when Cope mentions Cardiff's McCormack. I suddenly think we're in attack, and then realise it isn't McGoldrick.

[alpine_saint]

and what is that? playing McG? maybe he failed to mark for a corner but goal in first game is what he is there for?
Or still concerned about experience of our CBs? Perry and Svensson

The youngsters not coping with their hod-carriers...obviously...

[dubai_phil]

Time for a few offsides to slow the pace of the game down

BWP is on

along with Wotton

[SuperMikey]

I'd take 1-1 against Cardiff tbh. I had us down to lose resoundingly but it sounds as if this could be a performance to build on. COYR.

[team-saint]

bwp to get a brace, you heard it here first :D

[AwaySaint1]

According to Solent Saints being forced to defend too deep and Svensson holding things together. Schneiderlin coming off which is a surprise to Merrington.

Whos on?

[the scud]

Bwp for Holmes
Watton for Schneiderlin

[Ohio Saint]

We are away to one of the better teams in the division. We are doing well so far. Leave us alone until we lose 4-1!

[musesaint]

bwp to get a brace, you heard it here first :D

Apparently he's been revising the offside rule over the summer

[LVSaint]

have skysports centre given up displaying the live table already?

[sunrage]

Hopefully Dyer and BWP will rob them :)

[ozzmeister]

Gaey Monk sent off for Swansea there's a name from the past.

That aside COYR would be happy with a drawer but even happier for a goal. Two more good subsitutions as well keep it up Jan!!

[SaintDonkey]

Swansea and Wrexham both had players sent off. Come on Cardiff make it a red card hattrick for Wales ;)

[NickG]

Dave Armstrong -criminal if we don;t get at least a point, can see us getting 3!

[alpine_saint]

have skysports centre given up displaying the live table already?

I cant get their Score Centre up at all..

[musesaint]

Dave Armstrong -criminal if we don;t get at least a point, can see us getting 3!

Oh sh*t ...kiss of death there !

[dubai_phil]

So the stats say Cardiff with 500% possession and Armstrong saying Cardiff are struggling for possession....

hmmmmmmm

[NickG]

The youngsters not coping with their hod-carriers...obviously...

ahh, forgot how you loved the days of JW and II in the team, each to their own!

[AwaySaint1]

Oh sh*t ...kiss of death there !

Thought Cardiff had scored then:D

[ALWAYS_SFC]

We are away to one of the better teams in the division. We are doing well so far. Leave us alone until we lose 4-1!

Oh come on!!!! Cardiff are average on a good day.

[AwaySaint1]

How many minutes played ?

[1965onwards]

Saints have steadied since the subs came on.Well done JP.

[saint francis]

Nice slow starting OWTS.

[NickG]

75 ish?

[the scud]

How many minutes played ?

75 mins

[LVSaint]

I cant get their Score Centre up at all..

scorecentre works but no live...it did tend to crash last season...speaking of which...this still works *****il we score again?)! :)

[SB]

SkySports 'big us up' shocker!

[alpine_saint]

ahh, forgot how you loved the days of JW and II in the team, each to their own!

I watched Darren Moore and Steve Howard stomp Gareth Bale into the ground in one of the Derby matches in the play-off season.

Sorry, I geuinely believe this team is too lightweight and young, however talented they may be.

[Um Bongo]

Defence = 5 Starts accordingto Sky Sports.

[Nexstar]

Oh come on!!!! Cardiff are average on a good day.

I disagree.

And so does the FA cup.

[toofarnorth]

Sky sports in positive comment shocker. 5* to Perry and Killer.

[Ohio Saint]

Oh come on!!!! Cardiff are average on a good day.

Average, yes, but in this division they are still one of the better teams.

[dubai_phil]

FFS Saints GET A GRIP and get a foot on the ball and move it around

[Murdock]

McInally (sp.) in giving saints praise shocker:

Svennson and Perry giving a 5 Star performance at the back for Saints.

[ALWAYS_SFC]

I watched Darren Moore and Steve Howard stomp Gareth Bale into the ground in one of the Derby matches in the play-off season.

Sorry, I geuinely believe this team is too lightweight and young, however talented they may be.


Completly agree.

[alpine_saint]

Oh come on!!!! Cardiff are average on a good day.

I would describe it as one of the more difficult away days we will face this season, to be honest..

[Runaway]

Hey, do we finally have a manager who knows how to make substitutions?! :)

[saintkiptanui]

Completly agree.
Well done, you two get a paper hat each.

[NickG]

last ten mins

[the scud]

coyr

[Ludwig]

coyfr

[ALWAYS_SFC]

Average, yes, but in this division they are still one of the better teams.

dont agree, they are average at best for this league.

There are far better sides as we will find out.

[Iowsaintsfan]

Woot for Saints

[Alright Dave]

COYR's don't lose it now please!!!

[ALWAYS_SFC]

Well done, you two get a paper hat each.

Can i have a red one:D

[ozzmeister]

10 minutes to go, keep it together, pojt would be fantastic!!

[saintkiptanui]

dont agree, they are average at best for this league.

There are far better sides as we will find out.another paper hat, well done.

[Gully]

coyfr

Come on you fridge?

[Arizona]

Vokes scores for Wolves.

[ExSt Peter Saint]

So all 3 subs are on. Decisive stuff from JP. Will it pay off?

[buctootim]

So all 3 subs are on. Decisive stuff from JP. Will it pay off?

Seem to have steadied since they came on.

[Leicestersaint]

come on you Saints!

[ALWAYS_SFC]

I would describe it as one of the more difficult away days we will face this season, to be honest..

With our lightweight side we will have many hard away days.:(

[the scud]

Plymouth 2 - 2 wolves

[tombletomble]

Come on.

Get another one. We can do it

[ozzmeister]

Sheffield Wednesday top of the table atm, thats a reverse of last year lol!

[ExSt Peter Saint]

80:41
Goal kick taken long by Kelvin Davis (Southampton).

I thought he was supposed to be playing it out.

[Leicestersaint]

Completly agree.

negative thinking!

[St Landrew]

Oh come on!!!! Cardiff are average on a good day.

That's a little damning. Cardiff are a good team in this division. They may not be the most consistent, as of last season, but they could beat anybody.

And remember, this is at Ninian Park. I'd wouldn't even be terribly concerned if we were playing at home. At the moment, that is. To be honest, even if we lose today, we've played very well up until now.

[mcjwills]

I watched Darren Moore and Steve Howard stomp Gareth Bale into the ground in one of the Derby matches in the play-off season.

Sorry, I geuinely believe this team is too lightweight and young, however talented they may be.

But the only way this yopung team is going to learn is to be out there learning how to effective combat the clod hoppers in this league.

[saintkiptanui]

With our lightweight side we will have many hard away days.:(
You an alpine have 4 paper hats each, do you want a biscuit as well?

[ALWAYS_SFC]

another paper hat, well done.

You are a very funny man.....

[ExSt Peter Saint]

Also I see we're down to 36% possession, which is very worrying.

[SaintDonkey]

C'mon Saints make something of this free kick...

[tombletomble]

free kick in a good position

[TopGun]

But the only way this yopung team is going to learn is to be out there learning how to effective combat the clod hoppers in this league.

And pop steroids and eat that bodybuilding filth.

[Ludwig]

roooohh

[jack_d_1892]

hot dog, sausage roll...

[ozzmeister]

Who did BWP come on for?

[AwaySaint1]

With our lightweight side we will have many hard away days.:(

Whats the answer then Always?
Did you apply for the managers job?

[SaintDonkey]

... or don't see if I care

[saint francis]

Who did BWP come on for?

Holmes

[ExSt Peter Saint]

Who did BWP come on for?

Holmes, so I guess he's playing left wing now, is he?

[ALWAYS_SFC]

But the only way this yopung team is going to learn is to be out there learning how to effective combat the clod hoppers in this league.

Of course but they should have a little more experienced help.

All in my opinion of course.

[SaintDonkey]

Such a joy to hear the Saints fans chanting "Killer...Killer...Killer..."

[ozzmeister]

Acording to Sky Sports Killer very close to scoring free kick! Come on lads few more mins!!

[Ohio Saint]

That's a little damning. Cardiff are a good team in this division. They may not be the most consistent, as of last season, but they could beat anybody.

And remember, this is at Ninian Park. I'd wouldn't even be terribly concerned if we were playing at home. At the moment, that is. To be honest, even if we lose today, we've played very well up until now.

I'm buying this man a virtual beer!

[St Landrew]

I hear some supporters are leaving before the credits roll on this game. Still don't understand that behaviour.

[the scud]

Charlton 2 - 0 up

[AwaySaint1]

Minutes played please.

[Ohio Saint]

Such a joy to hear the Saints fans chanting "Killer...Killer...Killer..."


Making him skipper was a very good move IMO

[ALWAYS_SFC]

Whats the answer then Always?
Did you apply for the managers job?

Of course!! but Rupes said i was to expensive like Pearson;)

[the scud]

Minutes played please.

86 mins

[scott_saints]

Last minute of normal time. Cardiff free kick....

[dubai_phil]

[Nexstar]

"trickled through kelvin's fingers"

Well done.

[scott_saints]

My life feels normal again with the return of this feeling on Saturday. FFS!!!!!!!

[ExSt Peter Saint]

I was waiting for that to happen - gutted!!!

[mcjwills]

[Baj]

Full Time - and saints player arguing with the ref on the pitch, they look furious

[Johnny Shearer]

Damn it. Why do the late goals kill us?

[tombletomble]

On the bright side, its still a better start than last year ;)

[dubai_phil]

[Ohio Saint]

We did well, I don't care what anyone says.

[Ponty]

"trickled through kelvin's fingers"

Well done.

Oh ffs, it would've been 6 or 7 were it not for KD today.
