    Re: Supporting Ingerlund

    They must have one of the best qualifying records of any team, but as the OP has said, as soon as the business end arrives, you can here their bottle crash!

      Re: Supporting Ingerlund

      I wouldn't rub an English football defeat in the nose of my English friends .......the general Welsh public do though even though most English people couldn't give a toss about rugby ........but I do have a chuckle when a footballing minnow turns them over

        Happily cheer them on , I'm British after all , with an English born mum and strong connections to them .

        When Wales play them I cheer for the Dragons .

        Always found a falsehood in some supporters cheering Premiership sides from the sofa, whist claiming they dislike England.

          I read earlier that Spain have gone 66 games without losing in a WC qualifier. England must be up there.

            I don't get the I'm British argument. I couldn't give a monkeys about them anymore than Scotland.

            That said I want England to lose at every sport, whereas I'm apathetic about any other nation.

                What about the England and Wales cricket board who play under the name of “England”?

                        Never quite understood why you'll get some real ardent anti England football/Rugby fans in Wales but then they'll get behind a team that outwardly disrespects us by not even bothering to acknowledge on their shirt or pretty much anywhere else that they represent England AND Wales, that's a massive slap in the face which people seem happy to overlook. No thank you. Anyone but England.

                          I did support England in the 1966 and 1970 World Cups, and 1968 European Championship. But after that I stopped. I was obviously a Wales fan too, but enjoyed watching the England team then, and the fans weren't as bad, nor was the media hype about them. In 1966 I don't think they expected to win the World Cup and and were grateful they had, and there were Union Flags everywhere.

                          Nowadays I only watch Wales and not the other Home Nations on TV at all. I just take a passing interest in their results. At the moment Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are poor and England above average. I will support England at cricket though.

                            Thank you Mr. Anonymous. Better known here as “AlwaysAway2”.
                            It is high time you started one of your interesting, contentious threads - me thinks.

                              As you know, any Glamorgan players good enough can be selected to play for England. Hence my statement- and I would never support England in any other sport. When an English person represents Great Britain in a sport that interests me like athletics or gymnastics; then that person I readily admit to supporting.

                                It's more the English media I dislike rather than the England teams themselves (although that may not be true with the England rugby team, which exudes arrogance at times).

                                I know the newspapers themselves cater for more English readers than the rest of the home nations but it is galling when there is more coverage on an England under-21 game than a Wales world cup qualifier.

                                I could go on but it's been done to death so I'll stop here !
