After losing to rival Swansea City, Cardiff City supporters criticised Connor Wickham for recording himself smiling while using “laughing petrol balloons” with the video of him taking hippy crack viral
The Bluebirds player apparently shot a video that was posted on his Instagram story, but it has since been removed. It’s believed that he was out having fun on March 31, the day of his 30th birthday. But, the football player who entered the game in the 61st minute of Saturday’s South Wales Derby has infuriated a lot of people.

According to current legislation, it is legal to own and use the gas, but it is unlawful to supply it. As part of a new set of laws that aims to demonstrate a more aggressive stance against crime, the government plans to strictly regulate and eventually outlaw legal highs, also known as “hippy crack” or “laughing gas.”
Nitrous oxide’s brief high can result in hallucinations, aural distortions, and even fits of laughter. It can, however, also have very negative side effects, like headaches or unconsciousness. Laughing gas prohibition is a component of a package referred to as “community justice,” according to PM Rishi Sunak. The nitrous dioxide ban aims to safeguard children and prevent canister littering in areas where young people congregate.
Swansea City defeats Cardiff City.
With a remarkable 3-2 victory, Swansea City created history at the Cardiff City Stadium thanks to a goal from Ben Cabango in the 99th minute. Swansea took the lead after only three minutes of play thanks to Joel Piroe, and in the 33rd minute, Liam Cullen added a second goal with a header.
With Cabango’s tiny deflection and a touch from Swansea goalkeeper Fisher, Jaden Philipogene restored parity. Sory Kaba’s late header appeared to have won a draw, but Cardiff-born player Cabango struck a thrilling late winner to put the Bluebirds in serious danger of dropping to the lower division.
Fulton saw his free-kick hit the wall in the ninth minute of extra time after five minutes had been displayed on the fourth official’s board. He then released another effort, but it only connected with the base of the post. A spectacular winner was scored by Cabango, who had previously been rejected by Cardiff as a young player after the rebound struck Joel Latibeaudiere.
