"You're Welsh and you know you are"

[Triggaaar]

Prepare for the new thread that could hit NSC any day: 'Why are there white people in the world?'

 

[00snook]

Surely this is just harmless banter.

There is no such thing as harmless banter any more mate

 

[Triggaaar]

Not offensive at all anyway, after all, away fans can sing all those gay chants at us.

Not really a good example.

I apologise

Welsh people tend to be quite touchy, I find. Sort of inferiority complex. They don't do humour either. And they generalise all the time. Nice mountains though, and some good castles, although the latter are Norman rather than Welsh I guess.

I can't be doing with this 21st Century revisionist relativism about the Welsh. It's all very easy for you in more remote parts of the country to be all touchy feely and forgiving, but we've been on the front line of this for centuries. If it weren't for the brave, tough, uncompromising people of the Marches you'd all be speaking Welsh now. For the good honest Anglo Saxon stock of this country the Welsh are the old enemy, and you can't forgive 11 centuries of blood feud that readilly if you ask me boyo.

Could I just point out as an staunch englishman living in Wales, Wales is most definately not the same country as England and the Welsh are Celts and the English Saxons, therefore niether the same country or race.

Your welcome to come to Cardiff during the Autumn Internationals (Rugby) and tell our Wesh cousins they are part of England.

this is a thread I feel rather comfortable in as I have lived in Wales and can wholeheartedly say that most of the Welsh I met while living there really did not like the English in fact they did not even like some from other parts of the principality.........kjgood has this exactly right.
I have also lived in Shrewsbury (Salop) that one was for you Staly nice place in fact my daughter was born there and I might say that Shrewsbury along with Chester have yo-yo'd between England and Welsh ownership so many times its just pleasing that they are now in English hands

Shrewsbury great place and countryside nice people
Wales great place and countryside.............................................................................................

 

[00snook]

I apologise

And so you should.

I could be offended by your suggestion that banter is harmless, and therefore as the victim have the right to stop you from ever mentioning banter again.

So you don't like the Welsh. Fair enough, but that doesn't make them a separate country.

It does as far as I am concerned and more to the point as far as they are concerned as well

 

[mune ni kamome]

Spent a couple of days in Ebbw Vale a few years ago. Couldn't help comparing it to Newhaven which it resembles closely. People were very friendly though. Just saying.

What actually is more to the point, is that it doesn't to the rest of the world. We don't get to make our own decisions on whether or not we're a country.

If the Welsh don't shag sheep,why do they still wear wellies in summer

 

[aberllefenni]

Can't speak for all the inhabitants of my NATION, but personally the sheepshagger chants are water off a ducks back. Don't confuse anti-English sentiments with anti-English establishment ones, I suspect many of you would feel the same way if your natural resources were plundered and the profits shipped off to London. I was told that we once chanted "you're Welsh, and you know you are" at Middlesborough away. With that geographical gem we probably deserved a retort of "you're yanks, and you know you are."

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Does this class as inapropriate chanting?

No, just unoriginal, unfunny and tediously old.

A bit like "xxxx is a shithole, I wanna go home". Which a certain number of fans (of every club) would sing even if they were in Las Vegas, or Barcelona, or the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, come to think of it.

 

[BBassic]

I remember going on holiday to Chepstow once, which is technically Wales but only just, and I didn't get the warmest of receptions in the pub down there.

Thanks for your support.

One quibble- Shrewsbury has never yo-yoed between Wales and England. It's not like Berwick or somewhere, the Welsh were never strong enough to actually take English territory- just a few sheep raids and monk abductions and the like.

Las Vegas is a shithole,well it is after 2am

 

[Billy in Bristol]

From my perspective.

I attend the away game at Ashton Gate: I have lived in Bristol for 25 years, love the city, but not as much as I love the first football team I ever went to see BRIGHTON.

So, all around me people claim I am either
a) Sheepshagger
b) Welsh

Around the rest of the ground I have my sexuality questioned...

Do I care?

Not when we win!

Don't know what the situation with Hereford is but,worked with a bricklayer from there,as you can imagine what with the accent,he got alot of stick about being welsh

which genuinely got under his skin,he was prepared to even have a roll around in the mud over it,must be strange living near another country's border

there are 5 pubs in the small village we lived in and while England were playing anyone in Rugby(a game named after a school in an English town) those said pubs were packed with Welshmen with whatever countries colours the English were playing in fact I have no doubt that the Welsh in that village had more South African or Australian rugby shirts than Welsh ones.

what kind of reception do TNS "Oswestry get when playing in Wales?
