It's a fairly well established fact that for decades Wales away games have functioned as an excuse for Cardiff Neanderthals to go hunting for supporters of other clubs team handed. Mostly Jacks.
Most will behave themselves, but unfortunately a sizeable minority lack the cognitive capacity to behave in any other way. |

Very much so.
I'm not sure what it must be like to go through life as chock full of hate as these people are but it can't be pleasant, even if they don't realise it. |

I've got no patience for these gatekeepers of what is and is not Welsh.
My Grandad was from Northampton. My Granny's family came over from Devon in the 1800's. My girlfriend's father came from the Northeast and was vaguely related to Bobby Charlton. My cousin used to be chairman of the Millwall supporters club. He has tattoos of both the Welsh and English flags to honour his parents. Am I supposed to hate England?
Guaranteed that if you look at the family history of these "Proud Welshmen" you won't have to go back more than a couple of generations to find English blood. It's all a bit pathetic. [Post edited 16 Jun 22:02]

When they did it in France they had Annis Abraham and Dai Thomas alongside them.
This tedious anti-English crap is beneath you. |

Watching England is very much like watching the Swans under Cooper. Dull tournament football that feels like the team is deliberately being sent out with one arm tied behind its back. |

As time goes on and it becomes even more obvious that many of the lockdown measures were excessive and unnecessary people may even grow to dislike Johnson even more.
Prevented from leaving the house or attending to loved ones for no real reason whilst those in charge basically carried on as per usual. Not that Boris was alone in that (Neil Ferguson was another "do as I say not as I do" type) but as PM he should have known better.
Ironically if he had had the stones to stick to the actual pandemic plan drawn up beforehand much like Sweden did instead of cravenly submitting to the howls of outrage from elsewhere then he might still be Prime Minister now and the UK economy in significantly better shape.

Never saw much point in being generally dishonest.
Firstly it's hard work keeping your story, or stories, straight. Easier to stick to the truth. Secondly it's easier to navigate life if others know the reality of both you, your opinions and the situations that you're dealing with rather than basing their reactions on a fictional version. Thirdly, if you have a reputation for being an honest and straightforward person, when you do need to lie you'll be an awful lot more believable.
Ultimately in life we generally lie because we don't want other people to find out truths we prefer to keep hidden. If you don't give a damn what other people think then there's no real reason to do it at all. |

The saddest thing is that Wales is continually talked about as some sort of charity case in need of perpetual subsidy from elsewhere. With a Government even remotely interested in wealth creation instead of redistributing other peoples there's no reason at all why we couldn't become a prosperous part of the world.
We could be a haven for tourism, industry and innovation. Skilled graduates from all over the UK could be drawn here by relatively cheap housing and a good quality of life if employers worthy of them thought that Wales was a good place to do business.
Instead our Govt does its level best to dissuade it with a lunatic transport policy, attacks on tourism, the suicidal drive towards Net Zero and a general suspicion towards any kind of profit. Wales as a whole is massively dependent upon Government agencies for work. Nearly a third of the entire Welsh workforce is employed by the state.
It's not remotely a coincidence that almost all of Wales' richest people, from Terry Matthews to Dai Topshelf, had to go elsewhere to make their fortunes. Either that or they or derived it from businesses operating significantly beyond Offa's Dyke. [Post edited 15 Jun 15:01]

It's faintly bonkers that a thread about egg chasing has reached six pages on a Swans site.
Ospreys games at WR cost The Swans money. It is to our great benefit that they're finally getting the message that White Rock is too big for them. Obviously it's taken longer than it should have because of the eggers bizarre belief that they're a major sport in the area, but eventually we've gotten to where we need to be.
Where they move to or whether they continue to exist is of no interest to SCFC. Chuck a couple of 500 seater stands up at Mynydd Newydd and that would be enough. |

You're basing your argument on an assumption, which most people who shudder at the very concept of NHS reform also do.
I have no idea one way or another what sort of system that Farage would implement if he had the power to do so. It is however fairly obvious that an "insurance based system" is not necessarily a bad thing. |

There are a lot of people desperate to play down any climate issues.
As for myself, I'll stick with what I already think. I don't doubt that the climate is changing. I do doubt how much effect humanity is having on it, and I distrust a lot of scientific evidence provided by people who depend upon those selling the narrative that humans are responsible for their funding.
It's pretty clear that a lot of "green" policies are being pushed by those on the Socialist side who have seen their arguments utterly discredited over the last 30/40 years. Watermelons, so named because they are green on the outside and red on the inside, have proliferated. The arch Goblin herself, Greta Thunberg, comes from a family very far on the left.
Having said all that, there is no serious downside to humans living in a less polluting, more environmentally conscious way. Whilst we shouldn't be expecting the working classes to shoulder the burden of Net Zero, especially when the Chinese are opening coal fired power plants like Lidl opens new supermarkets, I don't see a move towards recycling more, renewable power, and electric vehicles (where suitable) as a bad thing. |

Heavy cloud cover will result in higher overnight temperatures. It's why deserts can go from boiling to bloody cold in the same day. I have no trouble believing that average temperatures are higher.
The problem with averages however is that higher figures can skew the overall picture. The average pre-tax salary in the UK is £28,000 a year. A helluva lot of people earn less than that. |

Dreadful manager. Trying to bore his way through tournaments playing Steve Cooper football. Will achieve results against most but inevitably fall short when it matters, which sounds awfully familiar.
They've got enough talent to play much better football than they do. |

He's really not very good. If he's anything more than a bench option at best next season then someone will have screwed up.
In terms of raw talent then Wood is possibly the best we have, although the talent is buried pretty deep. There will be clubs out there who think that they can get the best out of him and hopefully at least two will want to prove it. |
