Jack Dawe Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Your Welsh? You're Welsh? Your'e Welsh?? Don't be bitter tonight, support the Wellsh. Remember, we - Ingerlund - we are good at rugby (World Cup finals, WC win, beat South Hemisphere sides) and the Wellshh, they are good at football. That's where we're at in 2016. We can't be good at everything. Imagine Wales progress tonight though? Achieve something (an overseas semi) the "Golden Generation" couldn't manage, something only our 1990 lot could manage. And Wales have got one and a half very good players at international level. Take a long hard look at yourselves, Football Association. Still, it is encouraging to hear today that the FA are now turning to the former England rugby head coach, Stuart Lancaster, to advise on appointing the next England football coach. That's something to cheer every England fan and put hope in our hearts tonight as we watch Wales in the Euro quarter bloody finals.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scare_Man Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 It's been a terrible tournament if the likes of Portugal can get to the semis without winning a game in 90 mins Shame - could've been Englands for the taking if we didn't have this almighty balls up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natchfever Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I don't put the Taffs in the same category as the Jocks who clearly hate being associated with us in the main, and whether you like it or not we are close relatives , you only have to look in a Bristol phonebook to see that.but I can't bring myself to support them this time. I very very doubt though that the England squad would have been jumping with joy had the Welsh lost to Iceland, and I would also like someone other than France or Germany to win the tournament. Belgium has its own golden generation and I think it would be good for them (or Iceland) to ruffle some feathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I'm not exactly cheering on the Welsh, but just remembering we were very close to having one of our players there. I might have managed a little cheer then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Colby-Tit Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I hope Belgium batter them tonight, after seeing the Welsh players celebrating England's defeat like they'd just won the 'kin tournament. Stay classy Boyo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My surname also but please read below: This famous surname, widespread throughout the British Isles, and the most popular surname in Wales, one in ten Welsh people being so-called, is nethertheless of English medieval origins. It derives either from the male given name John, or its female equivalent Joan, both Norman French introductions after the 1066 Invasion. Both names are written as Jon(e) in medieval documents, and a clear distinction between them on the grounds of gender was not made until the 15th Century. However, because western society has almost invariably had a male as family head throughout history, bearers of the surname Jones are more likely to derive it from a patronymic form of John, than a matronymic form of Joan. The personal name John, ultimately from the Hebrew "Yochanan" meaning "Jehovah has favoured (me with a son)", has always enjoyed enormous popularity in Europe, and particularly so after the famous Crusades of the 12th century. The name, which is found in some four hundred spellings, is in honour of St. John the Baptist, the precursor of Christ. The surname as "Jones", first appears on record in England in the latter part of the 13th Century, and also features as one of the most numerous settler names in Ireland, having been introduced in the wake of the Anglo- Norman Invasion of 1170. It is now found in every Irish county, especially in the larger towns, and has also been Gaelicized as "MacSeoin". The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Matilda Jones, which was dated 1273, in the "Hundred Rolls of Huntingdonshire", during the reign of King Edward 1st, known as "The Hammer of the Scots", reigned 1272 - 1307.

Did we really over celebrate, having just win a derby game in stoppage time? If every Wales press conference wasn't about England I'd be more inclined to cheer them on.
