Yma o Hyd

Re: Yma o Hyd

I've never heard it played before but it's a belter and needs to be part of the setup going forward. Plus I've never heard of Daffyd Iwan unlike that Max Boyce fella. Daffyd seems a person I can get behind and far better for the Wish language to pin their hopes on.

Re: Yma o Hyd

I think it’s brilliant having non football chant style songs. I was very pleased when City fans actually started singing the words to Men of Harlech instead of just “duh duduh duh duh”. I’d like Yma O Hyd to join our repertoire as well as Calon Lan as they sounded great yesterday.

Re: Yma o Hyd

It's great at Wales games home and away over the last few years. What possessed the CCFC marketing team to pump it out at the recent Jack derby remains a mystery though. Together Stronger and all that at Wales games but in the South Wales Derby it was the equivalent of bringing in a choir to sing Blaydon Races when we played Newcastle.

Re: Yma o Hyd

One thing i will say is that the Welsh FA have done well to tune in to the Welsh Language, 1 up on the rugby. I'm indifferent about the actual song, but i will say that there is an identity amongst Welsh Football fans, it's almost a movement now, and i believe that it has captured the imagination of the Welsh Public. Winning helps, ofcourse, but there is an underlying feeling of defiance and identity at Wales games now. The Nationalist thing is a bit of concern for me, but i would say that it's Nationalism with a small 'n'.

Surely we can all do that. I'll pop upstairs and give My Way and Unchained Melody a go.

I always thought that a sing song was more apt in the shower, or even when you're sat on the throne and you're about to drop satans log-in order to disguise the heavy splash back so to speak.

The FAW have got an awful lot right over the past dozen years. They will now receive a windfall from World Cup qualification and I trust them to use the resources wisely..

Imagine saying that 10 years ago!

Re: Yma o Hyd

Ali Yassine played this at the Millennium Stadium before the 4-0 Wales v Azerbaijan game in 2003, so it’s been around the FAW for some time.

After the game somebody asked him on this message board what song it was. That’s when I downloaded it on Kazza Lite.

:hehe: :old:

Blimey - this is EXACTLY what I did at the same time!!!

But how come the song ‘disappeared’ again and has now come back to such prominence?

When we were ranked 117th!

How embarrassing was that? In today’s ‘Ukraine terms’ it was as though Newcastle had been invaded by their neighbours Sunderland, being raped and pillaged all along the Tyne and we were showing our support.

Newcastle, Pillaged? They'd have a job! I was back and forth that part of the world during the late eighties, early nineties, Birtley to be exact, what a ****ing dump. I was seeing a lass up that way. She was as rough as ****, but great fun :hehe:
