Finnegan Posted 3 April 2006 Share Posted 3 April 2006 Cheeky Scouse-Jack fock. I really hope they come up this year, Jack Army - Soul Crew clashes will be worth the giggle. And hopefully they'll vent enough in the season to keep it out of the Millenium Stadium, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tevez Posted 3 April 2006 Share Posted 3 April 2006 it was quite funny whering the shirt and having the flag but theres no need for it. i would understand if it was the fa cup or league cup but not the football league trophy and cardiff are in a higher division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted 3 April 2006 Share Posted 3 April 2006 They Could Be In Trouble For It Police are investigating after a flag with an obscene insult was displayed on the pitch immediately after Swansea's Football League Trophy win on Sunday. The insult, aimed at rivals Cardiff, was daubed on a Welsh flag held by Swansea players after the 2-1 win over Carlisle at the Millennium Stadium. South Wales Police said the incident was logged in the match report and has been reported to the Football League. Photographers captured Swansea player Lee Trundle holding the flag aloft. He was also photographed donning a T-shirt bearing an insulting cartoon ridiculing Cardiff. The neighbouring clubs have a history of rivalry. Millennium Stadium chief executive Paul Sergeant said the flag had been confiscated by league officials and was being held by stadium staff. The flag will be handed to police later on Monday. Lee Trundle put the cartoon T-shirt on top of his football jersey Mr Sergeant told BBC Wales it was the first time something like this had happened at the stadium in more than 200 games and said it was "totally uncalled for". He said: "Let's not forget it was a hugely successful day. Lots of people came and enjoyed themselves and it's a pity that something like this may overshadow what was a wonderful day for everybody." The chief executive said he believed one of the stadium stewards tried to stop the flag being displayed, but could not reach the Swansea players in time. Police began an inquiry after complaints from members of the public. Superintendent Bob Evans said: "I am aware of the incident. I certainly take a dim view of what happened. "The incident was logged in the match report, it has also been reported to the football league and an official police investigation has been launched and further enquiries will be made into this incident throughout the next few days."

Katy Posted 3 April 2006 Share Posted 3 April 2006 The top two pictures are quite bad actually, country's flags shouldnt be desecrated like that. Hes a cheeky chap but I think he should have got some advice before doing this. Should Swansea face Cardiff next season theres going to be injuries - Swansea fans are madder than Cardiff!

Head Honcho Posted 3 April 2006 Share Posted 3 April 2006 No excuse for the obscenities on the flag but the t-shirt was just a bit of fun! Cardiff have given it out in the past now they must take it. Get over it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon Harpic Posted 3 April 2006 Share Posted 3 April 2006 Depends what you define as a 'country' though - ask any Welsh person if they think Wales is a country. Wales has been part of England since 1284 AD. It's absurd that when it comes to international football the UK has been chopped up into so many little bits. Even if you could make a case for Scotland and Northern Ireland having their own 'national' teams, it's completely bewildering that Wales, which is nothing more than an English county just like Leicestershire or Essex, should compete as a nation in UEFA and FIFA competitions.

Would he have the bottle to have worn that shirt on the streets in Cardiff? Very immature. No wonder he's stuck in the lower leagues.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a Shire, its a Principality. Whichever way you want to look at it its Wales' flag and they (even Swansea fans) have a right to feel offended having the flag abused.

No we wouldn't. When we've won trophies in the past no FOXES have given a toss about F****t and Derby. To do so would give them an importance far beyond what they're worth... If F****t win the playoffs and their players wear anti-FOXES T-Shirts, we should be flattered not insulted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Wales has never been part of England(although parts of it were at one time actually in England) it is however part of The United Kingdom and has been run by English Parliament since 1536. It is one of four nations that make up The British Isles, so if you class a nation as a country then I suppose you'd have to call it a country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since Wales has been part of England, hence the lack of representation of the Welsh 'nation' on the Union Jack. I also don't see how you can get the number of nations in the British Isles to add up to four. I could see how you could get it to add up to two nations (Ireland and the UK), three nations (England, Scotland and Ireland, with Northern Ireland being disqualified for being a province and Wales a principality) or even five nations (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland), but not four.

The British Isles is a geographical term and not a politcal term so therefore it consists of Wales England Ireland and Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobbo Posted 3 April 2006 Share Posted 3 April 2006 It's a country, get over it. The fact that everyone who is Welsh thinks that Wales is a country is enough to make it so. What it is 'officially' known as is really a crock of shite, surely what is in the heart and minds of the people from that place are surely more important? Get someone in an official position to go public and state that Wales is just a county of England and see how many votes they get in any election.

We're a powerful constituency! Although I don't vote. If voting changed anything they'd make it illegal, eh comrades? Oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
