Transfer Rumours Summer 2024 Transfer Window

This should draw a rant from BfB

Gwalia is an archaic Welsh name for Wales. It derives from the Medieval Latin Wallia, which in turn is a Latinisation of the English 'Wales'. (For the Germanic etymology of this name see Walha.) Although never as widely used as Cymru, Gwalia was once popular as a poetic name for the country, akin to Albion.

The name originated in the Middle Ages and there are several instances of it in Late Medieval Welsh poetry. Possibly the best-known is in 'Yr Awdl Fraith', a long poem or awdl attributed to Taliesin, and one of the most popular of the period. It imagines gwyllt Walia (Wild Gwalia) rising up against the Saxon invaders of Britain.

In the 19th century, at the height of Romanticism, the name Gwalia once again became popular among local writers. It has now largely fallen out of use due to its Victorian associations.

 

Means we are on the transfer page this Gwalia did he cost much or is he on loan or a freebie.Just saying.

 

Yes Will, I was wondering why Nin posted it on this thread - he's pretty hot on telling others they've got it wrong.......

 

Just closed my eyes & picked one to post it

 

It's nothing to do with CCFC anyway - our girls are called Women not Ladies - wrong team.

 

Yes yes yes I know - it should have gone on ‘the other football’ thread - it’s called a senior moment

 

Anyway - to continue the random discussions on here...............

Colin spitting feathers. Aberdeen led all game after scoring in the first minute and then conceded 2 stoppage time goals 90+6 and 90+7.

 

Shouldn't that be on the ex manager watch thread?
What do you mean by "there isn't one"?
Ok. The Strictly thread then.

 

Rant coming.

Why the f'in' hell do people think its clever to resort to ancient Welsh names? The changes to Snowdon, Brecon National Park and the Wales football team being prime examples. They will not attract extra visitors or support and just confuse people. Like M4 road signs.

I notice it is still Football Association of Wales not some garbled Welsh derivative.

 

Anyway, on the evidence so far, what's everyone's retained list looking like for the end of the season?

 

Now now children play nice.

 

Why does everything that comes in the post from the Council is repeated word for word in Welsh? A total waste of money and paper

 

Dydw i ddim yn deall hynny chwaith.

 

You still have paper based communications from your council? Now that is a waste of paper.

 

Perte de temps ce site.

 

And if you want Welsh wast o amser.

 

Any interest in a retained list or transfer desirables?

 

I don’t know what on earth you have posted, nor do I care.

 

And time.
