talkSPORT presenter Ian 'The Moose' Abrahams is heading to Swansea City's game against Crystal Palace, and he is not happy about it.

Speaking on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast this morning, 'The Moose' expressed his unhappiness about making the trip west.

The first part of his tirade was secretly recorded and he was unaware his comments would be aired, but when his remarks were played back to him the presenter followed it up by taking another crack at Wales and Swansea. Here is his rant in full:

IA (off-air): "Why should I pay £6.60 to get into Wales, eh? What has Wales got? Sheep. I can see sheep anywhere.

"You know what, I will stay in London, it's free. After the game I can go and see landmarks like Buckingham Palace. Have they got Buckingham Palace in Swansea? They've got the Bumbles, or the Mumbles or the Gower.

"I mean, I can get back into England for free, England has got far more than Wales, £6.60 is a disgrace."

Then, after being asked to clarify his thoughts: "Seriously, I have been working for talkSport covering football matches for 13 years. I don't have to pay normally to drive to a game, I think it is absolutely bang out of order.

"It has been put to me this morning that it is for the upkeep of the Severn Bridge or whatever it is called.

"Let somebody upkeep it for nothing, why should I pay £6.60 to get into Wales but coming back the other way, and by the way you have to upkeep both sides of a bridge, it's free?

"There is a castle in Cardiff, what else have they got?"

Pay no heed Dai. The station is haemorrhaging listeners and the guy is widely regarded as a tool - even amongst his fellow reporters.

 

Fcuk him. Bellend of the highest order

 

I thought you were talking about yourself Dai!!

 

WHU....mmmm.

 

He lives in Borehamwood for gawds sake! Now that's a non-attraction for you

 

Working for Talk Sport speaks volumes for the guy.

 

Wow!! I don't know who the guy is but he comes across as a total moron. Someone tell him that it's not a public road and that's why he must pay. It's simple, if you don't like it take the scenic route.

 

Preferable through the barriers on the bridge

 

I 'almost' feel sorry for him. Wales is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, and I was lucky enough to call it home for over a decade.

"There is a castle in Cardiff, what else have they got?"

So so much, but probably nothing an imbecile like that could ever appreciate.

Sadly, there are quite a few people from the other side of Offa's Dyke who hold similar opinions about Wales, and the Welsh,as does this individual.

Sadly, there are quite a few Welsh people who hold similar views of the English and England.

You reap what you sow, springs to mind.

 

Who cares ?

 

Looking at the posts on here I'd say a few

 

Stumpy cared enough to take time out to ask "who cares".

 

I actually find it quite amusing and is said to get exactly the reaction that he has got. The thread is started by someone who does exactly the same as Andrews, to try and get the same reaction. pot kettle black.

 

Always consider the source of such sh!t....then move on without much thought .
