Yma O Hyd

[Wozza16]

I wasn't at the game unfortunately but I just saw this video of Dafydd Iwan, incredible atmosphere. So good to see the passion behind a Welsh language song from young and old!

Sludgey, the clip is from Wales v Austria last week!

I bet you are currently phoning your mates in the metal world to do a thrash version, eh?

I was being sarcastic

At the rugby you get a few Tom Jones songs rattled out by pissed up once a year look at me in my daffodil fancy dress .

Very powerful song with the crowd generating a great atmosphere. Pity about the bloke at 2.00 into the clip who is more preoccupied with his phone than the fervour of the occasion.

To be fair , I’ve followed Wales home and away for years and it’s only really since around 2015 that the atmosphere at Welsh football games has been great.

Welsh rugby on the other hand was always superb until around the redevelopment of the National Stadium (to the Millennium)

Yes that grated a bit but it was great to see so many singing with such passion. It’s not something Dafydd Iwan will ever forget.

Give him the benefit of the doubt, he was probably googling the lyrics.

We really have got to get out of this siege mentality, small country syndrome.
As a born and bred Cardiff boy, i am so proud of all our national sporting teams.
Ok, so your PE teacher may have forced the oval ball game on you, and the media maybe rugby biased, and other countries may stereotype us as a rugby nation, but we really should be moving away from all that claptrap now.We continually punch above our weight in rugby and football, so lets be proud of that.
In Italy, France, England, Ireland and Scotland both sports thrive, with no small minded animosity .

Re: Yma O Hyd

I wonder now if we'll get more than a 30 second clip of it at the CCS before City games before the 10 second clip of that Frank Hennessy noise....

Going to have to disagree with that

If Wales are not doing very well in the rugby most of the fans just get pissed

There is very little singing going on , even when Wales are on top

No real passion at all , unlike that video of the Wales Austria game

It's incredibly emotional but sadly it won't get the coverage that anything rugby related gets

A day after the win against Austria the back page of the Western Mail was covered with a story about the game v France the Saturday before

Its a complete and utter joke . There are football fans out there who in the same way the Welsh rugby fans say as long as we beat the English as long as ccfc , swans win the rugby can piss off and we can call that childish but I can understand it .
