The coastline down west is breathtaking- Caswall Bay - Langland Bay and further.
My first wife divorced me !!
She was from Port Talbot originally
We had two children
She moved to Swansea when they were three years old - that was thirty years ago
My boy grew up in a Swansea school supporting Swansea
He’s been in the Ninian Stand when we played the Jacks and I’ve been in the Swansea end with him and his mates at the Liability Stadium
The Away game for me was sweetest because we were behind the goal when Bellamy hit a screamer on 85 minutes
Mad to think that was ten years ago
Still I’d like to think as our clubs rivalry as football banter
We’re all Welsh at the end of the day 😃👍
Sort of, some of my partner’s family are jacks. They aren’t from Swansea though and they don’t really have that civic chip on the shoulder attitude I’ve found from jacks I know from the city itself. In that sense they’re much like myself as I’m not a Cardiffian either so that second city/capital thing is meaningless to me. They’re proper football people, and sports generally, and aren’t really interested in the banter and are pretty civil - at least to my face! Haha.Quote:

Luckily no one in my family supports our rivals.
My father is a nominal city fan as Rugby is his sport, but my brothers, nephews and my own kids are all city fans.
As for the game last night.. both teams have some great technically gifted players on the ball and able to run with the ball well... but both teams lacked composure, a cutting edge, gave the ball away and I would say both teams very clumsy. The ref actually had a very good game because it was a pretty dirty and cynical affair.
The Wurzels should have really made more of their chance.
That's a tough gig!Quote:

I recently played in a football tournament in Uganda for the USA in a tournament and the only other British guy on the team was a Jack. We got on great and managed to watch Wales in the euros together.
Yes we hate the jacks but the reality is we probably have more in common with their supporters (maybe not the union jack flying ones) than any other supporters in the championship.
I completely agree AB
The end of the day it’s PASSION
both sets of supporters being passionately loyal to their respective club
But ultimately we are both Welsh 🏴
That’s pretty cool playing abroad in a tourney ⚽️👍
Loads of liverpool/man u divides in the valleys.Quote:
