Referee Andy D'Urso was struck by an object

"We must solve it ourselves otherwise we are dead.

"We must be vigilant, focused and determined to throw them out one by one until there can be none left to destroy our dream.

"We ourselves and the South Wales Police have set up post-match enquiry teams to identify persons responsible for the throwing of missiles and public order offences.

"The club is obviously working with the Police to identify these individuals and when identified they will be banned from all our games.

"This will happen before the end of the month. If you can help us please do so."

We will unite under the motto 'All for one and one for all'

Cardiff had originally asked the FA for permission to move the Leeds tie from Ninian Park to the Millennium Stadium.

Hammam argues that if their wish had been granted, then the game would have passed without incident.

He also points an accusing finger at the national media for sensationalising and exaggerating the trouble.

"In my twenty five years in football I have never witnessed an orchestrated and vicious media campaign as the one that Cardiff City is having to face," he says.
