Barking Mad - Part II

TIP: BEFORE READING THE REST OF THIS ARTICLE - TURN YOUR SPEAKERS UP TO GET THE FULL EFFECT!

It seems that Mad Sam is at it again today and yet again the Western Mail are giving him the column space to print his statements of things that will never happen in my lifetime Part XXIV.

This bloke is a fool - plain and simple. You would have thought that after several years under Cardiff City's 'Welcome To Wales' mentality he would have realised that football rivalry is what makes the game what it is. And more so he would have realised from talking to some of his closest allies that you will never get Jacks to support Cardiff and vice versa. Most wouldn't even entertain it.

Speaking to fellow Cardiff fan, Paul Abandonato in today's paper the mad lebanese fool states "Swansea City and Cardiff City are united as one club, the Welsh club. Their success is ours and ours is theirs" Umm, Sam. Take an atlas and take a read. Wales is a country. Within Wales there are many football clubs - all playing different games to each other. With their own supporters watching. The only time they will unite is behind the team they call Wales. That is called international football"

He raves on after this ludicrous opening line that he is happy for people to support anything else that is Welsh and that he hates seeing non-Welsh shirts in Wales. I can agree with that but it doesn't tie in with his comment about everyone being one club does it? And of course then their is the irony that all these Cardiff people support him and as far as I am aware he isn't Welsh - is he?

Hammam continues "Welsh clubs will not grow and compete if the people of Wales support Manchester United and Liverpool. The Welsh people have spoken and what they demand is their full right to have a top Premiership club playing in a Premiership stadium." I think roughly translated he means that he didn't realise just how little people actually care about Cardiff City. I suspect he expected higher crowds in 'fortress' Ninian this season and is disappointed that the apathy that has always been there still remains. He is also fully aware that without Premiership football his dream of filling Ninian Park and a new stadium week in week out are nothing more than a pipe dream.

And we have the gem of the statement "We should never permit the London-controlled media to split Welsh people into factions that fight each other on the principle of 'divide and rule'." As far as I am aware I have never had instruction from the London media to split people into factions. I also laugh at the apparent irony again that he is using the Cardiff based media to do the same as that. But then again this is Looney Toons that we are talking is it not?

This article will drag a response from the blue followers, this kind of statement usually does. But even the most hardened of Cardiff fans (someone that has been there for more than five years) will admit that he has a dream that he will never see lived into reality if he believe that Swansea and Cardiff fans will ever follow the other team with anything more than a passing interest.

And for the Cardiff fans that won't be there when this particular bubble bursts - ensure you keep dusting your Man Utd and Arsenal shirts down!

Barking. Absolutely barking!
