Not the few but the many singing that Gareth Bale, Fkcu the union jack song?
Ages ago
The day Vinnie Jones won his first cap.
Since he withdrew from the GB squad at London 2012.
Since about 2012
Yep it’s been sung for many years.
Someone's new
I always thought he took a break from football in the summer of 2012 to have his ears pinned back, and that his bad back was just a cover story.
Following the City all my life there's always been a level of Wales v England every time the Bluebirds walk on the pitch playing an English side.
That's why we sing men of Harlech
Sheep shagging bastards
Oh England is full of shit.
Etc
It's definitely not new.
Ps an olden but golden song.
My old man he told me
All the English got VD.
I've had some great times following Wales and always will do but there's a definite rise of the nationalist types that are a bit off putting for me personally.
Independence rallies, Dafydd Iwan, Yes Wales or Cymru, Welsh language pushed everywhere, ****ing bucket hats especially can all be binned off for me.
Maybe someone can tie in that song to accepting an MBE.
What’s off putting about singing in Welsh? Who’s not being embraced? We sing plenty of English songs compared to 3 songs in Welsh and the majority of communication and media by the FAW and players are in English. Do you have the same issue with the Manics being invited to perform at games or just Dafydd Iwan?
If they knew the words I’d have no problem at all
Despite my accent being more Herefordian than Welsh I've never had any issues supporting Wales, been going since early 80s.
My parents were from Abergavenny and they thought learning the language was a waste of time, as did their parents. But back a further generation or two my Dad's ancestors in Pembrokeshire were all Welsh speakers.
We know the history of why that happened and I think it's great that the Welsh language is now so encouraged and I don't feel threatened by it at all; in fact, quite the opposite, I hope it continues to flourish and spread.
