Today is the annual Plastic Taff Day [warning: this is an anti-egg post]
Unbearable eggers are out in force today. They are annoying at the best of times whenever a Wales men's team play an international match (very few give a hoot when a Wales women's play an international game of egg or any other sport) as the vast majority in my experience are fake patriots who have little or no interest or knowledge of Welsh history or culture and I'm positive would sooner insert a cactus plant up their Aris than to even contemplate learning to speak Welsh, their own language.
Welshness to those frauds consists entirely around watching 15 lumps clad in red jerseys chase an oval-shaped bag o' wind around a field on a TV screen. Almost always they gawp at the box in the company of fellow bullshitters who share the exact same profile as them.
Today, pubs and clubs throughout South Wales will be packed with joking Welsh patriots to view the 'big one' versus England where many will express a dislike or perhaps hatred of all things English when simultaneously embracing their culture and language at every opportunity whilst rejecting their own which they pretend to be so proud of.
Describing them as ridiculous hypocrites or dumbed-down idiots would be apposite but a more deserving tag is Plastic Taffs because it's precisely what they are.

Don’t worry, they’ll forget their hatred for the English when they don their English football shirts for El Plastic tomorrow.

Certainly in South Wales, in the second half of the 19th century, there was mass immigration, particularly from England but elsewhere, looking for work in the mines. These rapidly growing new communities had no identity, having largely snuffled out what the indiginous Welsh people did socially simply through weight of numbers (this also had a massive negative effect on the Welsh language, in the same way that the Welsh caused a negative effect on the local language in Patagonia when they emigrated there in large numbers).
In 1872, a large Welsh choir won a huge competition at Crystal Palace, despite being the only choir taking part, and the media christened Wales the 'land of song'. It was adopted by these new, poor commuities and it stuck. Singing is a free pastime. Wales had never been any more or less a singing nation than anywhere else in the UK. Same sort of thing happened with rugby. All took off largely to give these new communities of mass immigration an identity which they didn't have.

Is it any different to City fans singing anti English songs, when we have an English manager and English players and ply our trade in the English league?
You really haven’t thought this through Organ old bean.

Do you wander around town on 6 Nations days with a DNA testing kit and a Welsh history test?
Maybe people just enjoy the day out without having to worry about their heritage or how much they know about Owain Glyndwr.

Even if it's true, it's fine, there's no laws to state that people can't enjoy occasions without knowing who played scrum half for Wales in 1901

Re: Today is the annual Plastic Taff Day [warning: this is an anti-egg post]
Off to the gym around 9am today. Bottom of my street saw a couple who lived 7 or 8 doors down from me wearing Wales rugby shirts, scarves, she wearing a large plastic daffodil in her shirt.
To the best of my knowledge neither has ever been to a Cardiff Blues match, or ever shown the slightest interest in sport of any description.
To me it's not an anti-egg thing, it's just how strange that people can 'switch on' their interest in a particular sport just 2 or 3 times in a year..

Exactly. I went to Grand National last year, but how dare I as I hadn't set foot on a racecourse for about 20 years before that.

Don't ask me reveal my source but I'm given to understand the IP address attached to your message traces to the free wifi available at Clwb Ifor Bach. For those unaware, only egg chasing fanatics and famed vomiters are allowed entry to that Cardiff city centre grog swilling den of iniquity during daylight hours.
I'm not surprised as it's an open secret that soon after our Vincent [may wealth and good health always accompany Him] switched the club's primary colour to a dark shade of red you disapproved of you became seduced by the WRU's brighter egg red.
Do you care to deny any of the above?! Isn't it also true that it's far from uncommon for you to use the seat of your chair as a makeshift stage from which you belt out a selection of Max Boyce's most famous songs whilst a full pint of Albright bitter is balanced on your head, which you've never been known to spill a drop of?

Re: Today is the annual Plastic Taff Day [warning: this is an anti-egg post]
There's an irony about days like today. Hadn't it been for the influx of English people into Wales and the English media, things that could be described as the essence of Welshness, such as rugby, would never have happened. If Wales had grown organically in the 1800s, instead of what actually happened because of coal, it's almost certain that Wales would never have been interested in rugby, or singing for that matter.
Funny how things work out.

Re: Today is the annual Plastic Taff Day [warning: this is an anti-egg post]
Also ironic in that most English people couldn't care less.

I’m not remotely interested in proving you right or wrong. But you’ve plummeted to new deapths in your dislike for the oval ball game.
Why can’t you and Organ just accept that a large majority of the Welsh public like to go to every Wales home game, or watch it on the TV, have a belly full of beer and enjoy the day out?
You like darts, good on you. I’m not remotely interested in the game, It’s all about choices.

Re: Today is the annual Plastic Taff Day [warning: this is an anti-egg post]
The irony is a large majority of them that spent yesterday shouting at the telly "You Saes twats" would have taken the red Jersey of Wales off last night only to pull on the red shirt of Manu or Liverpool today.

It’s like the questions, where did the 1000’s of extra City fans come from when we went to Wembley 4 times recently? Then where have they disappeared to again?
People are allowed to do what they want. If they want to support a team they have no affiliation with, then it’s strange, but they a free to do so. Except in the the eyes of the “you have to go to City games only and hate the egg police” who frequent this board. 😎

No people can do what they want i was just pointing out the irony.

That’s right. Point out the irony if you want. As I’ve pointed out the irony of our fans in a post above, singing anti English songs when we have an English manager and players, and play in the English set up. There’s plenty of it about isn’t there?

You’ve got to remember. Eric was the only guy on the planet, who insisted that Mark Hudson was meaning to pass, when he scored his wonder goal from the half way line. So he has form for bizarre posts.

Re: Today is the annual Plastic Taff Day [warning: this is an anti-egg post]
In these days of Brexit related news and general worry who gives a shit that a few thousand people go on the piss to watch a rugby match.
If it brought joy to people which it seems like it has then so be it. I was glad Wales won, enjoyed the game and delighted for my mates who were there.
The OP has dug out the same old regurgitated post he does and others do every year, whoopee ****ing shite.
You can like both rugby and football it’s jot mutually exclusive and quite frankly the lofitier holier than thou sanctimony of ‘ooh look at that middle aged woman in a rugby crowd’ is quite frankly rather tedious.

Read this link (below). Your comment is either a massively simplified summation or plain illinformed.
Trying to compare the damage caused by English immigration to Welsh immigration overlooks so many aspects surrounding the circumstances, reasons and attitudes.
You can’t compare the numbers either. Many more English people have emigrated to Wales.

I have to agree; I find it all rather embarrassing, even if I don’t share quite your vitriol.
Living in England, it is toe curling to see so many people living up to and inflating the image of a stereotypical Welsh eggby halfwit, to the point that people often ask me how I cannot be interested in rugby, ‘because I’m Welsh’!

I get that as well ‘How can you not be interested in rugby?’. It’s ridiculous, it’s just not on my radar, Wales winning at rugby is as important as Wales winning at hockey, netball, gobs or hopscotch to me, no more, no less. I want Wales to win and like it when I read of a Welsh team or individual triumphing, it’s just that football is the most important to me. Rugby is about as relevant as those other minority sports I’ve mentioned in my eyes.

The bitterness/jealousy shown towards rugby is very infantile. Sound like a bunch of Jacks.
