Under investigation by the FAW for his anti English comments in regards to next Wales manager no being English. No link sorry. It's on bbc sport.
Ta mate. Fuss over nothing I think just getting carried away in the press, but in today's world I reckon you could get sacked for that. Unlikely but possible.Quote:

A Standard statement of we are assessing all characters on their merits, and in the past we have favored Welsh candidates, due to their connections to players and fans.
He comes across as the consummate pro in all other ways so I bet he's kicking himself. I think he has done some good work.like you said just say the party line.
He's stupid for saying it in front of camera. If he was having a laugh, it wasn't the wisest of things to do. If he wasn't, it could be argued that he has demonstrated, in a way, some form of discrimination, which is more serious.Quote:

I hope it doesn't get any bigger because he has helped deliver some big games to Cardiff and seems the FAW is running well compared to the mess it used to be. Just shows about minding your p n q's whilst talking to the press.Quote:

Out of curiosity, what if Ford had said the new Welsh manager definitely won't be Asian, or African, or from wherever? Yes, I'm deliberately being obtuse, but it's the same principle. You appear to think the comment was fine and anyone who doesn't should man up, to the point of using a derogatory label, which I disagree with entirely.Quote:

Because I fundamentally disagree with your viewpoint of if you're offended by it, just man up. Neither of us are bothered by the comment, but I can see why it would cause offence, you can't.Quote:

FACTAMUNDO.
After that cuunt Bobby Gould wouldn't everyone agree that his comment is fair enough?Quote:

Not a fan of either then.:biggrin:Quote:

I've never liked Liam but recently he's provided everyone with some entertainment, that said I'd prefer anything over Ed fuucking Sheeran.
