Dim Gobeth! / No Chance! |

| Mae'n ddrwg gen i, ond na yw'r ateb. Dyna'r ymateb pendant a ddaeth gan y dyn o UEFA i gynnllyn Sam Hammam i brynnu Cwmbran gan gael tim 'Cardiff City' i chwarae yng Nghyngrair Cymru. O leiaf roedd gan Hammam ddigon o barch at y gynghrair Genedlaethol i ddweud mai rhannu carfan gyntaf rhwng y ddwy Gynghrair. Ond yn anffodus roedd ei gynnllun yn sicr o fethu o'r dechrau gan ei bod yn amnosib i un tim chwarae mewn dwy gyngrair mewn dwy wlad. Gwahannol iawn oedd ymgais Hammam i agwedd haerllyg chwifwyr banner Prydain, Abertawe oedd eisio ymuno a'n cynghriar genedlaethol i roi ymarfer iw chwaraewyr ymylol. Mae'n amlwg eu bod wedi anghofio i dim ymylol Abertawe golli yn erbyn tim gwaethaf cynghrair Cymru yn nhymor 1999-2000. Yn wir dim ond yn erbyn nw a Rheadr y profodd chwaraewyr Caernarfon fuddigoliaeth yn ystod y tymor hwnnw. Rhyfedd hefyd fod Abertawe mor awyddus i geisio dychwelyd i Ewrop - mae'n amlwg nad ydynt yn cofio'r gem gofiadwy honno pan y collasant o 9-0 yn erbyn Monaco. Hyd yn oed pe byddai cynnllyn Caerdydd wedi cael ei dderbyn mae'n ddiawledig o anhebygol y byddaint yn cyraedd y 'Champion's League' i chwarae rhai o oreuon Ewrop. Na, dydw i ddim yn rhannu brwdfryfedd di-sail Abbandonato sy'n son yn hoffus am gyfnod aur Caerdydd yn Ewrop yn y 60au, gan anghofio perfformiadau gwamal y clwb yn ystod eu blynyddoedd olaf yn Ewrop. |
I'm sorry but the answer is no! That was the answer from the man in UEFA to the proposals of Cardiff City's Sam Hammam to buy Cwmbran to get 'Cardiff City" to play in the League of Wales. At least Hammam had enough respect for the League of Wales to say that a first-team squad would be shared between both leagues. But unfortunately the plan was doomed to failure from the start as it is impossible for a club to play in two leagues in two different countries at the same time. Very different to Hammam's proposals were those of Swansea City who wanted to join our National League to give their fringe players some practice. They clearly have forgotten the fact that they lost to the weakest team in the LofW last season - Caernarfon. Indeed Caernarfon only proved success twice during the whole campaign - against a fringe Swansea side and Rhayader. It's strange that Swansea are so ready to return to Europe - they must also have forgotten their disastrous 9-0 drubbing at the hands of Monaco the last time they were in Europe. But even had this move been accepted by UEFA it is highly unlikely that they would have reached the Champions League. No I don't share the same enthusiasm as Abbandonato who is looking through his rose-tinted specs in to Cardiff's glorious past in Europe, overlooking their lesser performances during their last years in Europe. |
