    Just heard that Idwal Robling has passed away. For the board youngsters, many years ago if City were on Match of the Day (bbc Wales) we generally got Mr.Robling commentating. Mustn’t speak ill of the dead, but, . . . . . .

    Oops, sorry guys, a “friend” gave me false info. He died years ago. Apologies to the Robling family.

    I think Idwal died about 10 years back - how have you only just heard?

    Didn't he win a commentator contest when he beat Ian St John?

    St.John must have been rubbish to lose to Idwal!

    He wasn’t the best but was David Coleman compared to Bob Symmons <yikes>

    And who did you lose to ? You applied for the job, presumably. <laugh>

    Robling was pretty good as a commentator. He was a member of an exclusive group, and should be treated with at least a modicum of respect.

    **** off, Vetch. Your constant sniping is tiresome. Surely, you have something positive to say? You used to. What's happened?
