Born in Bristol. 15 caps for Wales. Commentator for WBA last night. Couldn't believe how disparaging be was about Wales. Said he hated having to pay to come into Wales. Referring to the Severn bridge tolls. Couldn't believe his general attitude towards Wales. Laughing about us, our anthem etc
Anyone else hear this on WBA commentary last night? Wonder if this is how English born players really feel about Wales?
Not so much English as Bristolian. I'm one of those - nowadays in the minority- who don't 'hate' the Jacks, but have a lifelong dislike of a large percentage of the Bristol population. The oddest, most narrow-minded, bigoted City in Britain.Quote:

But, to your point, yes, last night they were both totally disrespectful and insulting to Wales, the Welsh and to the anthem.
I have just read this back to myself. I am becoming more Iike Victor Meldrew every day.
I meant to put Victor Meldrew in my list of Top 6 commentators and pundits. Miserable git but rarely wrong!Quote:

Why did he accept the call up?Quote:

He is off the scale, can't behave himself, doesn't have a filter, and pushes things to the limit. I know someone who was at Forest with him, and that person said that he was relentless, couldn't stop pissing about, talking, shitting in peoples shoes etc.
Were they still wearing the shoes at the time ?Quote:

When he was talking about Wales it seems like it was a 3 day piss up. He said he’d pick up Dean Saunders and his wife would tell them to have a good holiday pmsl.
Also Bobby Gould would tell them the training itinerary and Gary Speed would interrupt him and tell Bobby they’d be playing golf. No wonder we were crap!
I heard bit of that, I'm not sure why you would accept the call up.
I don't think his feelings would be shared by the modern day English convert but perhaps back in the day it was.
The commentary was ok, biased to be expected but he sounded like he was being tugged off every few minutes such was his excitement when they did anything remotely interesting.
Why do some people listen to the home commentary when we are away? I don’t get itQuote:
