Wales considering renaming as Cymru

Re: Wales considering renaming as Cymru

Why shouldn’t a country be addressed in the name of its own language?

My language is English, same as all my family and friends. Therefore, we'd rather it was known as Wales.

Re: Wales considering renaming as Cymru

Why do you care what our country is called in a football sense?

You are always so keen to tell us how it’s City first, Wales 2nd and you couldn’t really care for international football?

It would be absolutely pathetic but if it pleased the likes of you to feel half Welsh then go for it

Re: Wales considering renaming as Cymru

You think it's insignificant the way in which your country is addressed?

When it’s literally the name for the country of the language from the actual country…..yes

Re: Wales considering renaming as Cymru

There’s some right weird herbs in here fair play. If this is all you have to get upset about then you need to get a life.

Just because we don't agree with the Welsh mafia doesn't mean we are getting worked up about it

It just appears to be utterly stupid

The what's app football group I am in is full of Cardiff and Swansea and Welsh fans , they all think its cobblers

But the cracac pontcanna trendies who follow the English football teams and Wales when we are doing well will I am sure be right behind it

Re: Wales considering renaming as Cymru

Welsh football fans are revered the world over for the passion in which we sing the national anthem but don’t dare call the team by it’s welsh language name :hehe:

We will be singing GSTK before games it was left up to some of the bootlickers on here.

Oh feck off you daft twat 🤣

Re: Wales considering renaming as Cymru

So Welsh football fans who like the team to be called [checks notes] 'Wales' are now bootlickers who secretly want to sing the English (Sorry, Saesneg) national anthem. Gotcha.

Staggering feckwit

Sing what you want when you want in Welsh, in English and support the team

But let's not kid ourselves here the success of the Welsh football team is being used as a step ladder

The Welsh language and the country of Wales will survive by people speaking Welsh and the Welsh national team will be stronger by Welsh people supporting Welsh football teams

Not by renaming the Welsh side Cymru

For many Welsh speakers it already is and for many Welsh speakers it is Wales

I have absolutely no idea why the FAW are coming through with this , it's a load of cobblers

What’s utterly stupid is having beef with the language of your country.

Re: Wales considering renaming as Cymru

I'm trying to muster up some kind of argument on the proposal for the name change, but i can't, i just can't. Sorry. The singing of Nationalist songs is a bit of a concern for me though, although i would say Nationalism with a small N. Comparable to ireland in some respects, although their invasion and occupation is much more in the minds, culture and politics of the country in modern times, even if it's an absolute neo liberal tax haven for the rich multi's, and the wealth doesn't much hang about there.

There's literally someone in this thread saying he'll go and support England if this happens.

We are, officially, a bilingual country.

I don't have any beef with the Welsh language at all

I think this is pathetic nonsense though , the Welsh language is doing fine without this input , what's the point

Are we in 20 years expecting all the players to be saying I am looking forward to waring my Cymru shirt v England next month ?
