Go on. Name one.

Seem to remember Cardiff's captain (Johnson?) having his red card overturned before the FA Cup a few years ago?

Generally though, fine with Cardiff being in the English leagues. Wouldn't mind Scottish teams as long as they joined from the bottom, which they won't. Tan is a mentalist though.

Oh good - a nice bit of Wales bashing. .... [big rant cropped out] 
It was a tongue in cheek throwaway joke, actually, but happy to act as a stepladder for you to mount your high horse
And before anyone asks - yes, I would happily have Celtic and Rangers in the football league.
You were doing quite well until this bit - which English (or Welsh) clubs would you happily chuck out to make way for them?

Well obviously. But they shouldn't be in in the first place. And they should be replaced by a proper club that deserves the place and has worked their way up. Not some shambolic bankrupt sectarian Glaswegian usurpers.

No high horse - just an opinion that differs from yours.  Hope that's OK.   I'd happily chuck the Europa league and make the premier league 22 teams again.  That allows for two more teams starting in league 2 or the conference with no extra fixture congestion at the top in a competition nobody wants to be in anyway.  Tim Sherwood essentially said that today.

And yes - whoever said Franchise can go is right.  There's an argument for Bristol City 1982 as well.

They have a core of nasty fans.  They also have a majority of really friendly fans.  It a very friendly, lively city - much friendlier than you might think.  There's a lot of culture there and a good amount of diversity.

Disclaimer: I may or may not have lived in Cardiff for a while...

We are going for a work away day (well night actually) in Cardiff in a few weeks.  Not sure whether to look forward to or dread it.

No problem with making room for two more teams in the English league system, but I don't see the argument for two Scottish teams filling those slots. It's wrong in the same way as the abomination that is the Milton Keynes Franchise monster is wrong, baffled how you can be opposed to one but advocate the other

It doesn't, or rather I don't really care, my initial post was a joke. You just missed it.

Go on. Name one.

There has been an instance of a Cardiff player's red card not beng overturned but no additional punishment, which meant they were not suspended for the play-offs.

I never said I was consistent..

I think the situations are different - MK stole a club.  Celtic and Rangers are historic clubs who suffer from the, albeit professional, league that they play in.  When that situation occurs in our country - which is the UK (we've conned FIFA and most of the world for a long time that England is a nation) - it doesn't make a lot of sense.  And yes - if you take that to its logical conclusion, I would support a UK premier league, with regionalised lower divisions.

I probably did miss it.  Please accept my apologies.  I'm not the brightest.

In fairness it wasn't very funny, so easily missed.
