The Carduffers appoint a right Trollope http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36319833

Comment required.. from you know who -):

He can't be worse than the last two so I'm prepared to give him a chance.

Do I detect a hint of resignation in your tone? -):

Lol , we have had the players to get promoted last two seasons but Ole and Slade were clueless on how to use them.

Half the bloody supporters could have done a better job so I think Trollope will get us to the play offs at least.

Nice to see Cardiff fan Heaton going to the Euro's.

Yes, Heaton has been brilliant all season so glad for him, never seems to get injured either which is a bonus.

Manchester united v Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace should be 2-0 up at half time. Very poor ref decisions.

Did not see the game except for the scores on a mobile......but perhaps England are really getting somewhere with great attacking football.....as usual bad defending lets us down but there is time to get that right before the Euros.....

From dour Scot to weird Dutchman and now egocentric Portugese, you couldn't make it up.

Man U shares up nearly 3% today.

See what happens when you give clubs astronomical sums of money to throw away , they throw it away .

Mourinho is a great trainer.....but you have to feel sorry for Van Gaal......you talk about the City being ruthless....they don't come anywhere near Football Clubs !.....

Can't blame the French for banning alcohol around Wales-England.....the problem is there will always be a minority of muppets from these shores that would cause trouble or smash up a café/brasserie....and you can understand that with the Isis threat as well : it's best to have sober fans !.....

Oi don't paint us with the same brush we've never caused trouble at the Euro's or World Cup.

Only because your never there long enough Dil :0)

Long enough ???? :)

Did you know at the Japan WC in 2002 the club with the most banning orders from travelling to the World Cup to support England was Cardiff City !!!!

Did they really think we were all going to fly out and support England ? Swansea tw@ts had 3rd highest ! I'm sure banning the Welsh from travelling half way round the world to support England had a massive impact on the number of English hooligans out there !

Dil....please don't take offence....it's not aimed at you !....just the possible troublemakers that can ruin a magnificent day for british soccer !.....all it needs is a bottle thrown by a drunk...and bim-bam...(to sound like batman)....god knows how many arrests and the French will curse the British visit to Lens....it would be nice for that day to be fondly remembered in northern France.....our fans (Welsh and English) must be on best behaviour that day (a possible world cup bid is at stake here/let's not forget)....PS....nice to see you at the finals for a change...nice.....

I agree rf ... cardiff were worse fans bad as Millwall etc and I saw it myself but thanks to cctv its all over now it's not worth it.

My point was in 2002 they banned say 500 fans from the UK from travelling to Japan to watch England in the World Cup and nearly 200 were from Wales !!!

English FA blaming the Welsh for their problems bit like Liverpool blaming Chelsea for Heysel !

And while we are at it those scouse * its never us " kicked off again at last weeks Europa final !

Worst fans to come to Cardiff in our one year in Premier League , bus load turned up late and attacked innocent people including 2 girls collecting for charity.

Maybe now they've got justice they'll start a campaign for the AC Milan fans.

Tom Bradshaw ruled out for Wales through injury.

Gutted as he's a youngster who could do well and I'm hoping Cardiff will stick a bid in for him this summer.
