Making Transfer: The Emiliano Sala Story
Kayley Thomas was kind enough to talk to me about the BBC’s recent podcast series on the tragic death of Emiliano Sala. It was a huge undertaking on a very difficult subject, but was handled very sensitively and thoroughly. When I heard that the BBC were releasing a podcast series on Emiliano Sala, I was […]
Exploring the Morison myth – Were Cardiff on the road to redemption, or the same old road?
Like Donald Trump supporters who insist the election was stolen and that their man was wrongfully overthrown, some Cardiff fans still insist that Steve Morison was going to make Cardiff great again. Maybe they’re right, (the Cardiff fans, not the Trump lot), but we’ll never know for sure. All we have to go on is […]
A Cardiff City fan forum is long overdue and desperately needed
Communication is key, in any walk of life. Whether in a relationship, a business or between a football club and its supporters. In this regard, Cardiff have been found sadly lacking, for a very long time. Swansea gave Cardiff a painful reminder of their recent superiority in the South Wales derby recently, but in the […]
David Marshall on Peter Whittingham
The Peter Whittingham Memorial match takes place on November 30th at Cardiff City Stadium and tickets are available now. What were your first impressions of Peter, as a person? He seemed a very quiet, laid-back guy, but everyone also comments on his sharp, dry sense of humour. He was universally loved by every squad Cardiff […]
Roathboy x James Rowberry
James Rowberry was good enough to chat to me about his time at Newport County a couple of weeks after leaving the post. He’s clearly learned a lot and I have no doubt that he’ll benefit from the experience. I’m sorry things didn’t work out at Newport County, but I really appreciate the opportunity to […]
Roathboy x Steve Borley
I was lucky enough to grab a quick chat with Cardiff City’s keeper of the flame, Steve Borley, recently. Please note that this was before all the Gareth Bale hullabaloo! Congratulations on the restoration of Llanrumney Hall. That’s not the only development you’re involved with in Llanrumney of course. How is the new training ground […]
Signings, we need a few, so how about these guys?
It’s that time of year again, and this year it will be all hands to the pump. With the majority of the squad set to ship out, VFTN has kindly surveyed the market and collated a few, admittedly attack-heavy, options worth considering. Sam Greenwood Embed from Getty Images Cardiff were linked with Sam Greenwood in […]
VFTN x Will Vaulks
VFTN grabbed a few minutes with Will Vaulks on international duty recently to reflect on his time at Cardiff, which has been a bumpy ride with highs, lows and four managers in three years. It feels like your career really took off in 2019 when you were 24, making your international debut and joining Cardiff […]
VFTN x Cody Drameh
VFTN were lucky enough to catch up with the rapid Cody Drameh last week and suffice to say, he’s every bit as impressive and enthusiastic off the pitch as he is on it. It’s hard to believe that you had only played three senior games before joining Cardiff. How have you found playing in the […]
Cardiff and their complicated relationship with the ball
Cardiff and the ball have not always seen eye to eye. It’s very much a love/hate relationship. A can’t live with you, can’t live without you sort of thing. All new Cardiff managers come armed with promises of learning to love the ball, but they all seem to draw the same conclusion; the less of […]
