Wow, 3-3 away in the opener.
Equaliser in stoppage time, well done!
In fact they scored twice in the final 15 minutes from 3-1 down, with sub Shawn McCoulsky equalising in injury time.:thumbup:

Great result the lads have not forgotten how to battle their fans must life them and their comebacks.
Fecking hell! You seem more happy about Cunty grabbing a point, than City getting all three!!!
why do some people on here call them "cwenty" ?
"tell me they can play better than that please"Quote:

As I said in my earlier post, though, it is too early to make lasting judgments, lot of new faces there and it will improve.
Fly home to CWL on Tuesday and will be there for the Sheff U game.
I lived there for some time ,yep , they shout c'mon Cwnty, there closeness to the Hereford/ West Country border is the reason .Quote:

OK thanks for your surprisingly lucid and well spelled snap observation, and the sage advice. :hehe:Quote:

60 fags and 5 litres of Coatbridge table wine should be enough to guarantee prostitutes for a couple of years.Quote:

Yes, but it doesn't then explain the Kairdiff accent at all, which is hardly influenced by the Valleys or the Vale of Glam!Quote:

That might not be correct but it's a theory I have heard.Quote:

I reckon that the inflections in the Welsh language must be partly responsible for some of the characteristics in English as spoken by the Welsh, something that would have been less present historically in the Monmouth area.Quote:

I know a married couple from the Northern Midlands with very different accents who were brought up 5 miles apart. Each lived in the end of theor respective valleys but with a mountain dividing them. She sounds Brummie and he has more of a Northern accent.
Funnily enough, last Saturday I did a walk just over the Devon border on Saturday (just 20 minutes from Taunton) and the accents of the locals was incredibly thick. Taunton seems to have one of the mildest Somerset accents, probably due to the fact that many people from elsewhere have moved here over the decades.
God, I'm boring myself now.....
