CARDIFF fans have begged the club to cancel Runar Alex Runarsson’s loan after his howler against Birmingham.
The Arsenal loanee has been slammed as a “liability” after the Bluebirds’ 1-0 loss on Wednesday night.
Juninho Bacuna scored the only goal of the game after flicking the ball over Runarsson’s head as he rushed out to close him down.
The midfielder then feinted to go past the last defender before rolling the ball into an empty net.

One supporter took to X, formerly Twitter, writing: “I hope we send Runarsson back, he’s a liability.”

A third supporter wrote: “Even worse than I thought it was last night.”
One more supporter also fumed: “He better not start the next game.”
