Never mind, bach- It's nice to see the English pundits getting their predictions force fed into their gullets.i don't care if it's with a leek dressing ,or with haggis and turnip- it's always a gret delight to see. The Welsh like an oval ball, we Scots like a round one, but mention April 1967, and the ball gets serouusly deflated. Some baxter soup, and johnston stew gave the World cup winners indigestion, they don't like to remember.

What is the point of referring to a game played in a different sport 48 years ago?

I don't know about not remembering, most of the forumites weren't even born then. I was 16 at the time, and I don't remember it.

Mind you, I don't remember 1966 - I was doing something else. Like most people at the time I had little interest in football, it hadn't yet become a national obsession.

 

Trust a pseudo-Scot (born in Newcastle, England, remember?) to twist a lighthearted thread about a sport largely played, and subsequently commented on by both sides of the park, with good humour, into a pointless "bash the English" rant.

Come on Wales! Proud to be Welsh today the same as I am everyday .

[ben1990]

Time to focus more on my Irish heritage I think . England were in control until the last 30 minutes then just capitulated. Pains me to say it but we'll done Wales, that was one of the most impressive displays of character I have seen, especially when they lost half the backline in one play. Onward to the Aussies and Uruguay, its not over yet.

Aylesbury hostipital (sorry sp: still drinking )

 

Wanted: Extra large retractor, for chariot removal operation! :D

 

I've watched that game and highlights 4 times now and I still find it difficult to believe that we won! Was at Wembley in 1999, 32-31 match, saw the "Catatonia" banner unveiled on the steps after the match "Everyday when I wake up, I thank the lord I'm Welsh", then proceeded to drink a pub dry with several hundred others.

 

Yesterday's match was more special, even though I was sat at home with no fingernails left after the first 30 minutes. Tried to analyse what happened, all I can say is, Wales started playing better (Charteris coming on helped but decision making improved), Billy V going off robbed England of an extra wrecking ball.

BJM- .

Lets dissect this post of yours,  Bit by bit.

I refer to a differnt sport of some 48 years ago(actualy it's now 49), as the sports pundits don't seem to want to let us forget it, But the important bit that gets swept under the carpet did hapen 48 years ago.

Then we've got the racialist punt(from where I'm sitting)  "Trust a pseudo-Scot (born in Newcastle, England, remember?) to twist a lighthearted thread about a sport largely played, and subsequently commented on by both sides of the park, with good humour, into a pointless "bash the English" rant."

AHEM- I'm a Scot born in Scotland (my BC says so )- so where you get my birth details from, I don't know. Let's get one thing straight- as far as a Scots sport suporter goes- there's always a good excuse to (as you put it) bash the English- that's Scots national sport-listen to the Anthen played at home matches. You could ask where proud Edward's army go -they went south to think Again. --Like I suspect the ENGLISH team will ,after the Scots-English game.

I've still no idea why you refer to an event that happened in a different sport, a lifetime ago, which no-one but you seems to care about. What is it that the sports pundits want us to forget? as no-one but you can remember they are clearly not doing a very good job.

Lets get one thing straight - there is no real reason for you to constantly whine about the English sporting prowess. Seeking to denigrate the opposition merely serves to highlight your own massive inferiority complex.

 

As for the rubbish about "proud Edwards army" - THAT WAS 800 YEARS AGO.  Surely the Scots must have achieved something since then - or, based on their Rugby and Soccer teams list of successes, probably not.

England lost, Wales won, time to move on, there's lot's more games yet.

 

PS  If it makes any English fans feel better, just think how South Africa felt.

[Ootohere]

Excuse me but let me correct the 800 years ago.   Only 701 years ago.

& yes we have achieved something since then, 

As a nation it has some of the most obese and unfit in comparison to other European Countries.

 

As a Nation that did rise again we are good at Darts, Bowls , Snooker & Curling, but not that good as to look like we are showing off.

No point getting up too early to train or practice as that would look like trying too hard.

Somehow the last line of Lady e's post has gotten transferred into my post. IF YOU care to Troll some more, you will find a lot more posts where I show my true nationality. (or will ONLY a copy of my birth cert satisfy your blinkered view). I don't whine about English sporting "prowess", just the lack of acknowledgement by the fanbase who lap up the constant preaching of the so called sports experts that if England fielded a team of non sports folks in any event, then they must win because they are English, and it's their divine right to win. I don't need to denigrate the opposition ,the English sporting pundits do that only too well, and we inferior sporting races get more satisfaction from seeing them fall flat on their faces.

[BJM]

I've never read such ridiculous attempt to justify what would in any other circumstance be described as a hate crime.

You carry on trolling. The rest of us, including I suspect many of your fellow countrymen, will continue to cringe and regard you as a sad, obsessed, racist.

 

Haters going to hate.

 

I'm out of here.

 

Oh, and back on track, both England and Wales can still in theory progress providing England beat Australia, and if so could progress to the final independently in parallel.

That would be the dream final - Wales vs. England.

Sadly, it's unlikely to happen.
