Thread: Geraint Thomas

  1. #1

    Geraint Thomas

    Very good, superbly attended victory parade for the G. In the bay and Cardiff castle this afternoon. Well deserved too.

    Hopefully, the road closures weren’t too upsetting.

    Great turn out. I chatted to a bloke (about 60 ish) outside the castle. He'd cycled down from Gloucester to see him and is cycling back this evening.
    If I have one complaint about the road closures it was that pedestrians were walking 3 or 4 abreast holding up the cyclists.

    It’s not compulsory that being born in Cardiff he has to support City. Such a thing as freedom of choice.

    Your point is? I didn’t mention anything about supporting The City, I was wondering if Arsenal were doing anything in his honour as he’s quite up front about his love for them. He’s a bit different to the likes of Joe Cordina who entered the ring last weekend in a City dressing gown & proudly wore the badge of his home town club on his shorts. But there you go it takes all sorts, I do know whose take on football supporting I’d prefer though👍

    Why would he dress up as a stadium?

    Good. Bloody cyclists. Pain in the arse. Think they own the road yet dont pay any road tax.

    In my book if you like football you support your local home town club .
    Bloody lycra wearing plastic

    Neither do pedestrians or vehicle owners for that matter.

    I think youll find that vehicle owners do pay for road tax and should therefore be more entitled that cyclists.

    But it's not compulsory, each to their own. And there are plenty around the Country who support Clubs outside their area who regularly go to games.

    As I said, ‘Takes all sorts! but I know what type of person I prefer. Especially ones who play on the ‘Welsh’ thing when it suits.

    Re: Geraint Thomas

    So if Cardiff City invited him down the stadium to walk around the pitch, you'd turn your back on him because he likes Arsenal and not Cardiff City? Despite what he has just achieved?

    The idea of petrol guzzling, rage ridden, planet destroyers being “entitled” to anything is laughable. You are the scorn of existence.

    Wise up and get on your bike....

    Stop parking in bike lanes while you’re at it.

    No I would not ,I would applaud his remarkable effort.

    I'm sure his prefred walkaround gig , would probaly be in North London .

    Of course it would, he’d most probably ride his push bike to North London. I would applaud him, it was a great achievement but I would be wondering what the f*ck he was doing down the City when he has no affiliation to us. Anyway let’s get down to Bournemouth and not by bike👍

    Odd thing to call him as I've rarely seen a sportsman so obviously passionate about being Welsh. The fact that he supports an English football team doesn't make him any less Welsh in all the things that matter.

    How can he be described as a Welsh Plastic? As far as I can see he is a very, very proud Welsh man. He has the Welsh flag around him as often as he can. It was hardly his fault they played God save the Queen after he won the TDF. He has done more for Wales than the vast majority of this country.

    Yes , he's one of those Welsh Cardiff sports fans that don't recognise Cardiff City as it's not the done thing, where rugger and cricket are much more appropriate to ones character building ,if you do have a liking of soccer then best to chose a nice posh club.
