Cov-Wrex

[Silvio Dante]

Get S4C on rather than BBC. Building to hell of a finish. 15 to go and 3-4, Cov down to 10 men 

[MrBibs]

Flicked over to catch the end and missed 2 goals in the BBC match!  Palmer missed a great chance to make it 4 4

[Phantom]

Palmer still a show pony 

Decent free kick but not a lot else paid off 

Wrexham GK lucky right at the end flapping badly under his crossbar defending a corner

Watched the whole match on S4C. I'd say that's one of the most entertaining cup matches I have seen in years. Cov missed a bucketload of chances, Palmer with a particularly shocking miss from close range. Cracking free kick though, and he hit the post with one in the first half too.

Gyokeres really is some player.

Ditto. Bizarrely I think the Welsh commentary helped with the enjoyment (and I learnt the Welsh for “textbook” is “textbook”).

KP I thought played well. Goal and assist. It was definitely Gyokeres coming on that changed the game, Wrexham couldn’t live with him.

Assume everyone realises all games are available here?

I really enjoyed that. 

Should be a great episode on the documentary. 

Wrexham players were actually dead on their legs yet somehow managed to hold on. That really was impressive.

Great effort TBF, really showing Div 5 in a good light.

Chesterfield robbed too.

I've learnt a few Welsh words recently.

Tacsi is taxi, Wrecsam is Wrexham, bws is bus!!!

I'm almost getting fluent!!!

I speak a little. Because it's such an old language (older than English) some of the literal translations are hilarious.

The welsh word for badger literally translates as "earth pig", ladybird is "little red cow" and my favourite is hamster which translates as "fat cheeks"!

[BS3City]

Am I right in saying most Welsh place names require half a pint of phlegm to pronounce?

[WarksRobin]

Cov-Wrex sounds like a pharmaceutical trademark

[B1ackbird]

Anyone remember the FA cup game v Wrexham in 78 ( I think) 4-4?

[Shuffle]

Was a great game and when they went practically to the team we played, Wrexham struggled.  Thought KP was very good as he was last week & seems to have finally found a home.

45(?) years ago, City (Div 1)were only too grateful to secure a 4-4 at home to Wrexham (Div 3).

Popty-ping is absolutely correct. From my uni days in West Wales I also remember the quite tragic "dim disco heno" (no disco tonight), and "dim parcio" (no parking).

Also all verbs seem to be the English with io on the end instead of ing.

No parking - dim parkio 

No cycling - dim cyclio 

So I guess when the hedlu start you just say dim hitio to them and they’ll cease beating the living daylights out of you

So that`s where we`ve been going wrong all this time!
