Should Cardiff lose at Selhurst Park, and Middlesbrough beat Watford, it would be Tony Mowbray's side making the play-offs at the expense of the Bluebirds. Personally I think I would prefer Cardiff to qualify and then knock West ham out. I think they deserve a change of luck. Thoughts?
Why would anyone want anything to good to come for Cardiff, their fans are animals. Boro's are marginally better.
Don't think they meant it in a particularly racist or even nationalist way (apart from maybe Jasper), but I do agree that them being Welsh should have nothing to do with it. Wales barely even has a separate national identity, it's basically England. I just don't like Cardiff's fans.
Mine is nOTHING to do with anything other than the company I work for wants to move my Job to another bigger dept , that dept just happens to be based in cardiff . If anyone reads anything nationalistic into that , then I pity them .
What you said was that the Welsh are taking our jobs. If it's just to do with your company then I don't know what that has to do with football. I'm sure you can see why a reasonable person would construe your comment that way.
What I said was ****S in Crdiff are trying to take our jobs !!!!!! Cardiff not wales , our jobs NOT YOURS !!!!!!!
Well if that's honestly all you meant then I apologise if I caused any offence, but I'm sure you can see how it could be misconstrued, by both me and PTF, because of the way you worded it. And again, I don't have a clue what this has to do with their football team.
I Honestly did not mean to offend anyone . If I had to choose between Cardiff & Boro , it would be boro . I have stated why I would not want cardiff to go up ,nothing at all to do with their football team . I am NOT nationalistic , I admire most countries & Towns etc except Swansea , bloody sheep shaggers ...............
Don't worry guys I'm not Welsh, just happen to live Cardiff. Though I can tell you Joe that a lot of people around here would take issue with your assertion that Wales has no national identity! I too was completely ignorant of it before living here so I don't particularly blame you, but believe me it's a complex issue which a lot of people feel strongly about.
I can't say I've noticed it. At least I've seen no more of a separate identity than that of, say, Yorkshire. It sort of just feels like a different county to me. Besides, in political terms it is far less devolved than Scotland and Northern Ireland.
This is true, but in political terms Tibet is just a small region of China (I am not drawing any profound comparisons between Tibet and Wales!) I agree that there are distinct identities within England as well, I think any proud Yorkshireman would be equally offended if you told him there was no distinct Yorkshire culture. But there is this idea of Welsh nationhood which goes back a long way, and they do have their own language. But anyway, I'm not nationalistic and I think people of all cultures should be able to get long perfectly well. As for the point made by others about Welsh teams playing in the English league, I don't really understand the problem with it? They're there for historical reasons (there was no Welsh league, or indeed English league, when they joined a regional league which was eventually assimilated into an English league), and to be honest, the Welsh league is of a very poor standard; removing Cardiff and Swansea from the English league would be like taking well-supported teams in England and saying they could never progress beyond the conference south!
