Recollections of past games against Cardiff?

[Icy Gull]

Brilliant goals from Barnes & Hoskins.

A good double save from Kuszczak from Bellamy's shot & rebound, the following season to win 2-0.

I think it was the 3-1 game where Cardiff fans were comparing CMS to Carlos Tevez, and they weren't taking the piss

He did have some good games early on in his career here in fairness,

Big shout here for the midweek game at in the dark at Withdean. Forget who scored, but we went 1-0 up earlydoors. Next thing, some kind of missile lands on the touchline down by H Block. "SHIT! They're firing ARROWS at us!!" screams somebody, presumably for a policeman.

Turns out it was only the tail end of Rocketman's rocket

My stand out memory of playing Cardiff was way back in the day and I struggle to even remember who scored (Maybank maybe?) a number of goals in a 5-0 win at the Goldstone. We were 3-0 up at half time and believe and the Cardiff right back was substituted late in the half. Some of these facts could be wrong as it was a long time ago, but it's how I remember it.

Yes, I remember that one - I was there, in my fave position towards the south end of the west stand, and it was Teddy Maybank who scored a hat-trick. Early 1980s, wasn't it?

Good memory of that game, just wondering about my continuous desire to scribble all over things.

Love the picture of Wardy there, no doubt he came out with the ball leaving all three in his wake. That's what he did Best ever "out of my seat" player although I was probably already standing for most games back then...

 

[GT49er]

Early 1980s, wasn't it?

.....just been corrected on that! Memories, eh?

 

[Dave the OAP]

Definitely unpleasant.

Back in the 70's before I had even heard of brighton, my family, mum, dad, bother and me went to ninian park to see Huddersfield and we lost 4-1. We were the only Huddersfield fans in the ground and when Hudds scored I lept up and was jumping around and was hurled into my seat by my dad! I was only 14 and didn't have any idea of hooligans but I can remember that it was very unpleasant indeed

There's a poll to be fixed there. They've asked who was better, Earnshaw or Zamora and the daft welsh buggers have only gone and claimed that Earnshaw was better. After my vote it was 69% to Earnshaw and only 31% for Zamora. Get to work NSC!

 

[Del Fenner]

Not that I witnessed it, but surely one of the high points in this fixture history must have been Robin Friday kicking Lawrenson in the face, getting sent off, then sh*tting in Lawrensons bag and going home while the game was still on...

The man really didnt give a fork

Started out at Palace, and the old terrace favourite "Liberty" could easily have been written about him.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Would be good to hear some recollections from [MENTION=119]The Laughing Bluebird[/MENTION]. Top Cardiff-supporting bloke.

Remember going there in the 80's (Ninian park) we won 4-2 I think? and after dozens of Cardiff had been ejected by half time it was one hell of a walk back to the station. Millwall was always bad but you could always blag it with the jelly eels up shooters hill but this was on a different scale, done 51 grounds but this was by far the worst.

For some reason I used to doodle penises on the characters in my comic books. Luckily I had grown out of it by the time I was buying footy programmes.

Ahh yes, the game where Micky Adams came out of the toilet like Dick Jones from RoboCop having earwigged our conversation.

Yes, that.

Was that the same game as he later absolutely laid into Clive Walker for having the temerity to predict a potential cup upset at Aldershot (before we battered them 5-2)?

It was indeed part of the same conversation. I also managed to completely shame myself by offering him my jumper to wipe his hands on because there were no paper towels left.

Watching a really poor beam back at Ninian Park and trying very hard not to celebrate when Zamora got the winning goal.

£10 on that returns nearly £500. Has McShane 1-0 Palace written all over it, surely?
