GaelicFox Posted 14 June 2016 Author Posted 14 June 2016 Cymro is a Welsh person (actually a Welsh man but the term applies broadly.) Cymrophobia hence is a prejudice against Welsh people. Cymruphobia would be a prejudice against the country as a physical entity. You'll be pleased to know there's a term for a prejudice against the English as well, Anglophobia. You can throw that one next time you're in North Wales feeling paranoid that the locals are only talking Welsh because of you. I love the Welsh after Cornwall and west coast of ireland wales is my favourite coastal place I'll be praying they beat the English As all of Ireland and Scotland will be as well Germany france and Italy also Infact everyone LOL
ClaphamFox Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 So what's UEFA's punishment for Russia going to be for charging the England supporters on Saturday? I reckon a fine, a strongly-worded statement about future conduct and a threat to make them play one of their Euro 2020 qualifiers behind closed doors if there are further incidents "of this kind".
Finnegan Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 Yeah but the English like that. They enjoy the fact everyone hates them. England are the Leeds of international football.
RowlattsFox Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 Seen lots of videos of pissed up Irish fans drinking in the street, stopping traffic, jumping on cars and vans etc and its all received as fun, which no doubt it was. But is it paranoid of me to think English fans would be met with riot police and tear gas? Just shows how much your reputation can influence decisions.

Milwall my Celt cousin , They are the Milwall ! Ok Maybe a Leeds/Spurs/milwall hybrid They love it really the English lads they adore being disliked ,But I wanted them to beat the Russians infact I like to see them play well and win as long as it's not against another team in these Islands cricket wise I have been away with the barmy army and thoroughly enjoyed it ! An Irish man leads the one day sides and I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm an England cricket fan and love my days out at lords of edgebaston Rugby wise I hope they get beat every game ! Every fecking game ! It's quite confusing being a paddy in England sometimes But then again us Paddy's are easily confused

Frankly, it's hard to complain. But yes, I do think we're judged by a different standard to other teams because of our past. It's a shame, but there's not much we can do about it.

But is it paranoid of me to think English fans would be met with riot police and tear gas? Just shows how much your reputation can influence decisions. Your right ! There are many decent English lads who would unfortunately get slapped down because of reputation ,but those people they don't even drink or mix with certain elements in the England support , my 4 mates went to Russian game they wouldn't even stay in Marseille because they knew what was coming. But then again none of the Irish/Swedes yesterday were singing about hating the English or bombers of the IRA There was lots of fun being had in Marseille before the swagger and aggression was released by the alcohol and a few bad seeds inflict a certain mentality on then rest of the mob A 16yo boy , a nurse and a chef in prison today for throwing bottles at the police .....what on earth triggered that ? Three lives ruined , why didn't they walk away when it got hairy ? That's the issue ....they want to join in , that's the element that cannot be explained easily
DB11 Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 For all the correct focus on Russians since Saturday We cannot forget There is a home Born issue needs sorting ! He is a knob but Samuels makes some sense here http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-3637944/Euro-2016-violence-Marseille-Half-naked-paralytic-leering-women-taking-town-square-like-occupying-army-s-England-fans-repulse-world.html Does anyone know what this is? There is a terrace song that sums up English attitudes abroad; it is a deeply unpleasant one, and heard most regularly as a taunt from the away section at Anfield. We won't repeat it here. Suffice to say it cannot always be the French police, the local population, or the Russians that are out for trouble in Marseille.

I'm thinking he is on about the "mur-der-ers" one ManUre sing at them There is one about Michael Shields ? Not sure beyond that
Guest MattP Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 They seem pretty specific in claiming they want to attack the English because of their reputation for being hooligans. Nobody thinks the Welsh are hooligans. It's not like you can get the two confused, really, either, given it's a major tournament and everyone will be decked out in red, waving dragon flags, blow up sheep and wearing daffodil hats. It's quite fanciful to imagine all these Russian fans (who we know go to the football to fight according to their own government ministers) are all of a sudden going to put down the MMA gloves and gumshields just because they arrive in a town with a different nationality in a different colour. I don't doubt the reputation of the English was a main factor in this but they clearly have a interest now in showing themselves to be the baddest mother ****ers around and they'll stop at nothing to prove it. I don't expect scenes as bad as Marseille but I think it's optimistic to think the Welsh (or Slovaks) will have a trouble free day with this lot around, I hope to be proved wrong though as two very good friends are out there.

It's quite confusing being a paddy in England sometimes But then again us Paddy's are easily confused Perhaps I'm in the minority but I always want our nations to do well apart from the Scotch( yes I know) and I can't put my finger on why I don't want them to do well.Not a hatred.There are plenty of English I dislike before I start on other nations.
Merging Cultures Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 Police chief and wife killed in their home in Paris. ISIS claiming it. Scary stuff. The French police must be on edge right now. Russians, ISIS... I bet they can't wait for the Euros to be finished.
ScouseFox Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 scenes on this morning atm, they've invited some "ex football hooligan" and he's proper green street and he's just going off on one.
Out Foxed Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 we really need to lose the boorish ira/bombers chants. they're not funny and don't help us at all.
Vacamion Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 he's proper green street A fake cockney accent that stinks worse than Joachim Löw's fingers?

Oh yeah, I'm sure whoever they play there'll be some dickheads after a scrap. But I don't see two days of running pitched battles on the same level!
ScouseFox Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 A fake cockney accent that stinks worse than Joachim Löw's fingers? pretty much. i wasn't really watching but I'm 99% sure that when asked "why do you think that people are attacking the english?" he responded "because uefa put us in Marseille with all the turks the french the North Africans the blacks and the old bill wanting to have us". 10/10 reaction from Phil n holly.

On a scale of Harry Potter to pwopa nawty?
RowlattsFox Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 At least they'll be some good hooligan books coming out soon "my time in Marseille" etc, gone a bit quiet on that front.
ScouseFox Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 On a scale of Harry Potter to pwopa nawty? tbf I think he was legit, think he was only on this morning because he wasn't allowed to go to France because he's banned from travel when footy is happening. it was just the way he spoke like a proper typical hooligan/slightly racist edl nob jockey when clearly people on this morning thought he'd say something sensible. they cut him off pretty sharpish . shame. there's a woman with a beard on now pretty mad shit.
rico Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 some action being taken at last http://www.skysports.com/football/news/19692/10313335/french-police-launch-operation-against-suspected-russian-hooligans-at-euro-2016
Guest MattP Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 Russia given suspended disqualification. Any more aggro and they are gone.
MC Prussian Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 Yeah, makes you wonder why these daft hools couldn't arrange for a more secluded spot to do their heads in.
Finnegan Posted 14 June 2016 Posted 14 June 2016 Hold on, if we all go over pretending to be Russian, beat up some locals and they get kicked out - do all three of us get rewarded a three nil win over Russia and get out of the group?! To France!!
