The club was right not to include the cup in the photo, we need to forget about the cup and move on.

You are starting to sound like villa fans going on about past achievments, yes we won the cup but we need to forget about it, move on and look to the future, it's annoying when people gloss over relegation by saying we won the cup, we need to face the position we are in and completely forget about the cup.

You have GOT TO BE KIDDING! :banghead: :banghead:

We should forgat all about winning the cup and move on?? NO

I've followed the Blues for 40+ years and my dad before me. 1975 he'd booked a hotel in London before Maine road, Fulham, last minute etc etc.

27.02.2011 - The greatest and proudest day in my life as a Blues supporter - I certainly WILL NOT forget it and doubt many of us who were there ever will.

FFS - not many posts make me really mad but you managed it with this :copno:

If we keep going back to something that has happened in our past to comfort us then we will never go forward as a club.

Nero fiddling while Rome burns comes to mind, our club is in very hard times but some people gloss it over by saying 'we won the cup' and can't face up to the harsh reality.

Its not a past glory

we are the holders and as such until the next team win it then it is very much a present achievement.The minute we hand back the trophy it becomes a past glory

It's 50 years ago this month that Villa won the first ever League cup. Have you noticed they always count there win but always diss our first win in 63?

Asked about this on Twitter the other day and got this response :

"With a new manager, new players, new era, it would be inappropriate to include. Of course, CC achievement will never be forgotten"

Inappropriate!? Like any of the new players or manager would suddenly stand up and go "Im not having a photo took with that here!"

Its motivational, its our trophy until late February, won by Birmingham City Football Club, not by Alex McLeish, not by Foster, Johnson, Jiranek, Larsson, Ferguson, Gardner, Bowyer, Martins alone... but by Birmingham City Football Club... and it should never be "INAPPROPRIATE" to put in whilst we have it.

sorry but the cup was won by those players, who else won it?

Those players that played that day won the cup, simple as that, they scored the goals, they won the cup.

What is the substance behind saying 'Birmingham city won the cup, not the players' ? There is no substance whatsoever.

How can a club win the cup? is physically impossible, players won it who played that day, simple as that, the club didn't score the goals, Zigic and Martins did.

Yes the name of the club is engraved on the trophy, but the players won it.

The club paid all those players and the manager, and they did their job. Without that cash they would not have done it, so it was Birmingham City Football Club who won the cup.

Like in business, if your employees win some new business then it's not the employee who reaps the reward it's the company.

what i'm saying is that it was the players who physically won the cup, not the club.

If we had no players, we would have no cup, the club paying their wages doesnt come in to it.

The club as a whole didn't win the cup, Koscielny & Szczesny mix up and martins won us the cup, also the zigic goal.

The club didn't put the ball in the new, Martins did, it was the players.

The FANS won that cup on the day ( players had a part aswell ) So if we want it in our club photo why shouldn't we ! we're the ones who will buy it , print it , put it up at work and home . Come on blues give us the cup !!!

I thought it was wrong to not have the Carling Cup in the team photo.

Granted, the team has changed and so has the manager, but that is like saying we shouldn't compete in europe now as we have a different team to what got us there. Its a nonsense.

The fact that we are 'current' holders means it should have been in the photo.

Birmingham City are the current holders, not any individual player of the past or present.
