The squad now consists of 3 keepers and 17 out players of which 5 players have next to no first team experience so new players will be need by hopefully there will not be so many loan signings next season.

I will never play for Dave Jones again - Gabor Gyepes

Mrs Gyepes

If Cardiff City manager does pull off what many would regard has a miracle and stay Bluebird boss one there is player who will be looking for a new club. Hungarian international Gabor Gyepes as made his feelings known speaking to a Hungarian sports magazine the Cardiff defender vowed never to play for Bluebirds boss Dave Jones ever again.

Since joining the club in 2008 in a £200,000 deal he has failed to command a regular spot in the centre of the Cardiff defence. He has found himself dropped a number of time over the years with injuries not helping the situation. This season he has been further out in the cold not helped with the arrival of Dekel Keinan in January. Many fans expected he would be on the end of the season release list, but who knows with a new boss he could stay he only has a year left on his contract.

"If our manager stays it is very likely I will leave.
"After our defeat against Swansea in November our manager always blamed me for everything.
"I have to accept his decision because he is the manager and I can't do anything.
"I haven't played since March and at the end of the season I was out of the squad.
"I have waited for the end of the season because I can't work with him.
"I have to think about my future and prepare for everything.
"I have a contract for one more year but I won't be at Cardiff if the manager stays.
"The purposes and the coaching staff at Cardiff didn't change this season.
"But after the arrival of the new Malaysian investors we signed loan players from the Premier League.
"Craig Bellamy played a big role in our good performance but we couldn't have reinforced the squad without the stable financial background."

His fate could be sealed anyway with the return of Anthony Gerrard from a successful loan spell with Hull City. The on loan defender could well have done enough to see him stay with the Bluebirds next season. Whoever is manager will have Dekel Keinan and Kevin McNaughton who can operate in the same position has Gyepes. There is also Darcy Blake who has on a number of occasions shown he could slip into central defence.

There is a team that just (defensive) and the team that beat (offensive). Each team competed to collect the number (run) by circling the three series of markers (base) runners to touch the home plate end markers.

There are three types of softball games:

* Fast pitch softball is a game determined by a ball thrower. Pitcher throws the ball with maximum velocity, similar to baseball. There are differences in style pitcher throwing the ball and how to release the ball. The release of the ball lies below or equal than glove position.

* Modified pitch softball or commonly known by the name modball. Its main purpose is to soften the rules used in the category of fast-pitch so that players who have not traditionally do not be surprised by the regulations are "tight" like a strike zone in softball, the distance between the markers, the length of the game and others. Speed ​​pitcher throws the ball in modball is between fast and slow pitch. The speed is limited by the round ball over the shoulder sleeve.

All tools and equipment that is mandatory for every team in carrying out official match.

Referee match

In a softball game there is at least one person up to seven judges or the referee (umpire). There is one plate umpire and three markers that keep the match referee. The rest of the referee to monitor the area outside. In fast-pitch games are judged by four referees (one plate umpire, referee three markers).

The term for a referee is "blue", because their uniforms are always blue. The position of a referee is standing behind the catcher the ball and bat the ball. Serves to see the direction of the ball thrown to the catcher throwing the ball strike the ball whether it is or ball. The referee also supervise the game carefully to determine the events that actually happened and keep the players abide by the rules. As the leader of the game is the Umpire plate.

In the one inning, the team who compete each having a chance hit (batting) to print numbers (run). When the attacking team gets a turn hitting, throwing the ball a team to survive the ball toward the catcher threw the ball top of my voice for the ball can not hit a turn dipukul.Tim that alternately one by one to hit the ball. The team is just trying to kill members of the team that had a turn to hit. The team that had a turn hitting a chance die 3 times (out) before hitting the turn replaced the team prevailed.

Ball thrower

The game begins when the referee started the game and chanted the words "Play Ball". After entering the area jaganya defender each, the battle between pitcher ball in the team survive and bat the ball on a team that had a turn hitting can begin. A ball pitcher stands on the plate and facing toward the catcher. Ball thrower will attempt to throw the ball hard into catcher mitts ball. The position of throwing the ball have a special area called the strike zone (strike zone), where the final pitch over home plate and there are no more than chest high and no less than knee ball bat. If the ball in the strike zone was not hit by a ball bat, the umpire will yell "strike". And when the ball out of the strike zone, but do not try to bat the ball hit the ball then the referee will yell "ball". Strike zone is the zone where the ball in the area of ​​the bat at the ball. When throwing, the ball thrower will attempt to make the ball strike with a vengeance for a ball bat trouble hitting the ball in the zone even though the ball was pukulnya. So the challenge of a pitcher is throwing the ball at high speed and with the right target.

A catcher is a regulator sometimes a good strategy, because the catcher in the game can see the whole situation that occurred in front of him.

Guard

In addition to throwing the ball and catching the ball, the team has 7 people stand guard (Fielder), which is divided into 4 guards in the area (infielder) and 3 guards outside the region (outfielder). The inside of the guard marker one (first), the keeper of the two markers (second), guard between two and three markers (shortstop), and guard the three markers (third). While the outer guard located on the left (left guard), middle (middle guard), and right (penajga right). All the guards (including ball thrower and catcher) 3 people trying to shut down the opposing team for their turn to hit. Because the run could only be obtained in a position to attack.

Ball bat

Each ball has the opportunity to bat 3 times and 4 times the ball strike. 3 times a strike will make a bat the ball dead "Strike Out." And when it is 4 times the ball then bat the ball is allowed free roads toward a single marker (free walk). If the batter successfully hit the ball, paddle ball would run his best before the ball reaches one punch markers returned or were captured by a guard marker. If the paddle ball markers made it to one before the markings were a guard to catch the ball then bat the ball "safe" '. However, if the markings were a guard quicker to catch the ball, the bat the ball "out".

How to play

Basic game

Baseball is played by two teams on the baseball field. Each team has 9 players. The referees supervise the game carefully to determine the events that actually happened and keep the players abide by the rules. In a baseball game in American League Baseball umpire, there are 4 people, although sometimes there are 6 people referee.

On the baseball field there are 4 markers called bases. Bases are numbered counter clockwise, starting from the initial base, called home plate, followed by first base, second base and third base. Square base with sides of 38 cm (15 inches) made slightly higher than ground level. The angle of the four bases form a square called a diamond. Each side of the baseball field length of 27.4 meters.

Baseball field consists of 2 areas, regions in the (infield) and the outer area (outfield). All the bases are in areas infield, outfield while the area is a grassy area outside the circle infield area. On the side of first base and third base lines are called the foul line that stretches down to the outfield. The area called the foul line in foul territory.

The game consists of 9 rounds called the inning. In the one inning, the team who compete each having a chance hit (batting) to print numbers (run). When the attacking team gets a turn hitting, the team that survive threw the ball with as tight as possible so the ball can not be beaten. The team that was a turn hitting the send players one by one to hit the ball. The team that throws trying to kill members of the team that had a turn to hit. The team that had a turn hitting a chance die 3 times (out) before hitting the turn replaced the team prevailed. Once finished ninth inning, the team scored (run) ever be a winner. If after 9 innings and both teams in the state of the series, played extra innings until one team emerged as the winner. At the beginning of the game, the team who hosted the (home team) had a turn throwing while the visitors (visitors) get their turn to hit.

The most important part of the baseball game is a battle between pitchers (pitchers) against the batter (batter). Pitcher throws the ball with as carefully and as good as possible in order to get into field goal over home plate. The ball must be thrown as close as possible to bat for can be beaten, but at the same time the ball must be thrown in as tight as possible and as hard as possible so that can not be beaten. If pitchers do not throw the ball outside the target area over home plate and the bat did not react, the referee will yell "ball!" If the pitcher continues to throw the ball outside the target area over home plate 4 times, the referee yelling "Ball four!" and the bat may freely walk ("walk") to first base.

Bat should be standing on the side of home plate and tried to hit the ball with the bat (bat). Swinging a bat should pemukulnya carefully in order to hit the ball. If the bat can hit the ball, there is the possibility of his team members could obtain the number (run). If a batter swinging a bat (swing) but failed to hit the ball, the referee will yell "strike!" So also when the bat did not react (not swinging a bat), but the ball was thrown right in the target area, the referee will also yell "strike!"

Catcher (catcher) is the name for team members to survive who crouched behind the batter (batter) with the task of catching the ball is thrown by the pitcher but is not hit by the batter. Catcher also gives instructions and strategy of throwing the ball to the thrower.

Catcher and pitcher to communicate with sign language and secret signs. If the thrower does not agree with what the catcher, pitcher will shake their heads. Conversely, pitchers would nod my head if approved cues provided catcher.

In each inning, a team that throws (Fielding team) trying to kill 3 members of the team that beat (Defending team). Beater of the dead must get out of the field and wait until his turn to hit came.

There are many ways to turn off the beater (batters) and runners (runner). The most common way is to catch the ball that had struck when he was flying in the air and not fall on the surface of the field, touching the body of the runner with the ball (tag out), block the runners who are on the base so as not to run so that the base can be filled with runners another (force out), and threw the ball strike that can not be beaten (strike out). If the team managed to throw a deadly three-member team that beat, half-innings (half round) declared finished and the team that threw the team that beat.

The team scored a hit attempt (run). To be able to print the numbers, the bat should be able to hit the ball and become a base runner (run to), stepping on or touching all the bases in order to return to home plate. Striker tries to keep his team to return to home plate in order to print the numbers. At the same time, the bat itself also want to be a base runner. Bat trying to hit the ball between the foul lines for a team that just can not catch the ball and the ball fell to the ground surface. At the same time, pitchers (pitchers) are trying to throw the ball that hard hit.

Figures (run) scored by a successful home base runner touches home plate after passing all the bases in sequence. Home run occurs when a batter successfully hit the ball out of the outfield fence. If there is a home run, paddle and all runners are on base to touch all the bases and scored points for the team.

The team is on guard

The team who guard (Fielding team) trying to beat a team that can not print the number (run). The team that just sent the pair consisting of a pitcher (pitcher) that stood on the mound (mound) and catcher (catcher), who crouched behind home plate. The couple called the pitcher and catcher battery. Remaining members of the team that just may be anywhere within the field. In general, 4 players, called player infielder in the infield area edge. 3 people while the player who called the players are in the outfield outfielder.

Pitcher (pitcher) threw the ball toward home plate. Pitcher trying to throw as carefully as possible so that the batter (batter) could not hit a ball and die. Thrower also tried to bat can hit and run, but the ball is hit labored for so easily captured by the pitcher due to tag out the runner dead and force out. Catcher (catcher) must catch the ball is not hit by the batter. Pitcher and catcher work with coaches to determine team strategy. Catcher gives instructions to his team members about the position in the field that must be maintained. In addition, the catcher also give clues to the pitcher about the strategies that must be taken to deal with their respective clubs. Catcher also stationed near home plate and tried to catch a ball thrown his team members for runners who tried to return to home plate can be turned off.

Players infielder consists of a first baseman, second baseman, shortstop, and third baseman. The player who served as a first baseman and third baseman was standing near first base and third base. The player who served as a second baseman and shortstop stood on both sides of second base. In the old days, when players consisting of 4 people outfielder and infielder players consist of 3 persons, the player who served as a second baseman near second base.

The task is to turn off the player first baseman runners who tried to get into first base (force play). In the engineering force play, the player managed to catch the ball infielder who was hit and fell to touch the ground and immediately threw it into the player a first baseman, so the player who fled after hitting the ball out and tried to enter the first base is considered dead. Before the players who run to reach first base, first baseman player must touch the player with the ball before he could turn it off (not necessarily in a professional league).

Players are also trying to catch a first baseman who hit the ball toward first base even though the ball rarely fell near first base. The player who served as a first baseman is usually a bat (batters) owned the best team. The task is to keep the player second baseman second base right area and is the first player helper baseman. Task shortstop player is keeping the area around second base and third base is often a target ball ground ball that was hit by a right-handed batters. Another task is to keep the shortstop player second base, third base and left the field. Players shortstop is usually not a good batter is very heavy because of his duty to keep the various places in the field. Players third baseman should have a strong arm that can capture at once threw back the ball deftly. Striker (batter), often hitting the ball with the goal of third base, so the players third baseman must throw the ball as quickly as possible to the players first baseman to turn off batter who is trying to run to first base. Players must have a third baseman a fast reaction to the ball because the ball is hit to third base is usually hit with a vengeance.

Players outfielder on guard in the outfield made up of Fielder left (located in the outfield to the left), center Fielder (located in the middle of the outfield) and right Fielder (located outfield upper right). Outfield area is the center of a vast area so players Fielder center should be able to run fast and throw the ball hard. In general, players do not have a center Fielder reliable batter. Another task Fielder center players are instructed where to be maintained to the players left and right Fielder Fielder to third outfielder players do not fight each other the ball toward the outfield.

Position players and players infielder outfielder predetermined by the team, but position players can keep changing depending on the course of the game.

Ball thrower

Pitcher (pitcher) who can throw well is a most valuable asset for the baseball team. The opposing team can score by number with ease if the pitcher throws the ball very easily beaten. Pitcher is very heavy task because in one game a pitcher can throw the ball up over 100 times. Most of the pitchers have run out of steam before the game ends so the need is replaced by a substitute pitcher. Baseball teams need more than one pitcher in one game. Pitcher who first appeared at the beginning of the game is called a starting pitcher, while others called the bullpen pitchers. Place pitcher prepare before appearing while practicing throwing called bullpen.

A baseball team may have a pitcher as much as possible. In one game, the team could decide to replace the pitcher at any time when needed, among others, as a strategy to deal with tough batter from the opponent. In general, pitchers have some variations in the technique of throwing the ball, which is owned by the individual skills of each player. Pitcher must throw the ball different ways so as not to be beaten by the batter. Ball speed and distance of the ball by batters also need to be changed so that the possibility of batters to hit the ball smaller.

Markers of rubber called a rubber pitcher who was on the mound (mound) should be trampled by the feet by the pitcher threw the ball at the moment. These regulations are intended for foot pitchers are not too advanced a step closer to batters. In addition, the pitcher must tread rubber makes pitchers throw the ball more slowly. Reliable pitcher of the American Baseball League to throw a ball that flies at speeds over 90 miles per hour (145 km per hour). Pitcher often suffered injury because the human body generally do not withstand the harsh movements done throwing the ball like a pitcher. Injuries are often experienced pitcher is also the reason baseball team trying to have a pitcher as much as possible.

The team that beat

The team that had a turn trying to score a hit. Each team must announce a list of players and hit the turn sequence, called the list lineup. Sign lineup should not be altered or changed during the course of the game, but players who enrolled in the lineup could be withdrawn and replaced with a new player that is not in the list lineup. New players only act as a replacement bat (pinch hitter) for the replacement players who hit the turn, while the order remained unchanged.

After nine players finished a turn hitting, hitting turn back to the player who was first on the list lineup. Runner (runner) who managed to return to home plate and scored points for his team must leave the field until the player gets a turn to hit again.

Old sad eyes Dave Jones

In Karren Brady’s football diary in today’s Sun she heaps some praise on Cardiff City manager Dave Jones. So its official the West Ham bosses know who Dave Jones is and with out-of-work managers running a mile when linked to the job could Dave Jones be the answer?

He has worked with Sam Hammam how hard could it be to work with her and David Sullivan.

Tuesday, May 17

OUR frustrations at Upton Park find an echo in Cardiff where the home team lose in the play-off semi-final to Reading.

Dave Jones has been manager-in-waiting for the Premier League for two consecutive seasons and those sad eyes of his tell more of a story than words ever could.

He's considering his future. But not really. At his age, successful managers don't quit although they do fade away. I hope Dave will have another go with Cardiff next season.

Obviously, we are looking for a new manager and Steve McClaren and Gus Poyet have said they don't want the job. But as they haven't been offered it and weren't about to be, it doesn't mean a lot.

Karren Bradys football diary

Hammam wants back in

According to the local press and Sam Hammam wants to come in from the cold and be welcome back into his Cardiff City family. If the Malaysians want to split the club into two all they have to do is invite him back it certainly will happen.

I'm not a fan never have been since day one and he never managed to change my mind, but do acknowledge he did push the club forward. However, it was the showman side of is personality which let him down and the constantly made stupid statements which made Cardiff City a laughing stock among other football fans. Remember 'Bigger than Barcelona' his 100% assurances that the 'Crown Jewel's would not be sold were broken as Earnshaw departed to West Brom, but before that he was sprout from the rooftops Cardiff were ' A buying club not a selling one'. So what is the lateness word from high?

"We cannot waste time.

"We should agree now and take our football club forward together.

"The club does not have a football leader to steady the ship. Richard Branson has a sign on his desk saying Lead, follow or Get Out of The Way,' while my message is slightly different.

"I say 'Lead, follow or share' - and I am more than willing to work alongside the Malaysian investors."

"Decisions must be made - and fast.

"We must not let this drag on through the summer. Everybody who loves Cardiff City wants to see this situation sorted out and then the football club can look to the future.

"They should either pay Langston what is owed or let me back on board.

"I have football knowledge and I can contribute to the football side."

If he was to come back and the Langston debt is written off I like anyone else I can see the benefits of that, but he still brings a lot of crap with him. If the debt are cleared it must be done openly and the money clearly shown to be off Cardiff City balance books. No come back or putting the debt to sleep until a future date.

Hammam is offering to work on the football side of the club and leave the financial side to the Malaysians. If present boss Dave Jones was to stay would he be happy to work with him. How about a new boss with Hammam's reputation would they look forward to working with him?

Sometime ago in an open letter to Echo sports writer Terry Phillips published in the paper Hammam said:

“I want to stress that I never want the football club back. I want to move on with my life and the decision has been made to leave the United Kingdom for good. I am never coming back. I am drained and I am hurting. I have lost my power. My wings have been taken away from me.

All I want now is for everyone to get their money. I say again, I just want to get on with my life and be with my family. I am not Langston and I cannot tell it what to do. Langston got fed up with me long ago. I have no power over it.

I never want to hurt Cardiff City and never would. I love the club, I love the fans and hopefully this will be sorted in the New Year. All I want is a future for Cardiff City Football Club, but I won’t be a part of it. I love the club and want the fans to remember me and love me.”
