These are your Cardiff City headlines on Sunday, September 25
'Unbelievable' feeling for Whyte
Cardiff City winger Gavin Whyte says his goal for Northern Ireland against Kosovo is a moment to savour.
Bluebirds man Whyte came off the bench to equalise at Windsor Park before setting up Josh Magennis for the injury-time winner.
"It was an amazing feeling - my family was here so it was a special moment," said the Cardiff man.
"It felt like my debut international goal - it was unbelievable."

"The boys said at half-time we need to pick it up a little more - when you hear the crowd out there it picks you up a bit more and we definitely needed it," Whyte added.
"We need to take this performance into Tuesday night and it's going to be another tough game."
Whyte hasn't been able to get a look-in with Cardiff this season but that could all change with Mark Hudson now in interim charge following the sacking of Steve Morison last weekend.
McGuinness' injury blow
Cardiff loan man Mark McGuinness is set for an extended period on the Sheffield Wednesday sidelines after picking up a thigh injury.
“It’s not good news,” Owls boss Darren Moore said last week. “He’s picked up an injury that we’ve had a scan on, and it’s an injury that we think is going to keep him out for a few weeks. It’s a strain, so we’re disappointed to lose him for a game like today. It was a big loss, and we had to shuffle the pack."
The manager has now provided an update, confirming his initial assessment.
He said ahead of their 3-1 win over Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday: "Both players (Smith and Windass) are fine for the weekend. Jack Hunt has trained in the last few days so he's OK. Mark McGuinness has picked up a thigh strain, it will be at least a couple of weeks for him."
Warnock linked with The Millers
Former Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock has been linked with a return to management with former club Rotherham United.
The Millers saw Paul Warne leave for Derby County earlier this week and are now on the hunt for a new manager.
Warnock, who retired from coaching after his last job with Middlesbrough, is an outsider for the position, with the bookies rating his chances at 16/1.
“The thing is you can never say never,” he said about a return to management earlier this month. “And I do always get itchy feet about January.”
Ladies win South Wales derby
A first-half brace from Phoebie Poole was enough to see Cardiff City Women see off Swansea City Ladies on Sunday.
Poole struck twice before the turnaround to claim all three points for the Bluebirds.
The hosts grew into the game and Poole struck twice before the half-time whistle and also hit the woodwork.
Swansea would twice do the same in the second half but they couldn't break down the home side's defence, with the Bluebirds extending their unbeaten start to the season.
