Obviously Jacko doesn’t fit the bill?
Is he a Cardiff city fan or does he report on or did report on the games ?
Robert Phillips is in my opinion a superb commentator and should have moved on from the soup pit that is radio Wales years ago
But he's not a city fan as such , he used to cover Newport County and he supports Chelsea
I think Robert Phillips is a superb journalist and is very media savvy he is however neither a Cardiff fan or a county fan , he's a Chelsea fan
You asked if he was a county fan but he isn't, he reported for county for the Argus but he's a Chelsea fan as he told me when I met him
I can’t really remember what happened, in my head there was bits and pieces going on but nothing too daft and some of the Liege locals were playing their part.
Rounded up and dumped in a warehouse.
Not fussed on the Belgian gendarmerie, they’ve always been heavy handed in my experience, one particular knobhead once threw me out of a Wales game for walking into him at half time. He was less than happy seeing me back in the ground with the pre match brass band during the second half. At the end of the game, I rather stupidly scaled the fence to go back into the Welsh enclosure. He made the effort to come and give me a whack across the arse with his truncheon (there’s no euphemisms here so don’t get excited).
What a miserable fuucker.
Thanks for this. It is a really interesting post (my Dad was Circulation Manager at The Echo at around the same time).
I vaguely remember Jackson and Woodward being football men and covering City with some enthusiasm along with Joe Lovejoy but he might have been much later.
My Dad had ZERO time for egg-only journos nor the embarrassing bias that a lot of the local press showed towards eggby.
Thanks again
We can agree on that
JBJ was shocking
The Welsh press is still the same
Family has always taken the Western Mail
Every Saturday there is a supplement
Two full pages by the rugby ref nigel owens who now equates his farm work to being an international referee
And Simon Thomas , chief rugby writer for the Western Mail who also has a full page later in the paper every Saturday where he talks exclusively about rugby , nothing else
No other sports pages at all in the Saturday supplement
Just rugby , every week
And I enjoy watching rugby alongside ccfc
Its no surprise some people really can't stand the game
