Anyone else feeling a wee bit Welsh today?

[Iain G]

Or is it just me? :-)

[Peevemor]

Iechyd da boyo :thumbsup:

[Lancs Harp]

No

And I have a bit of welsh blood in me,

Come on England!

[Golden Bear]

Not me either. Engerland are playing good football and the yakki das are notoriously bad losers.

[The_Horde]

Was born there. Second team by default. Mon the taffys!

[BroxburnHibee]

Not me. I think England will skoosh it.

[Iain G]

Not me either. Engerland are playing good football and the yakki das are notoriously bad losers.

Maybe its working in Londinium and overexposure to overhyped expectation but I hope Wales hump them properly ;-)

[Salt N Sauzee]

Hope England win.

[superfurryhibby]

Anyone but England for me. Always has been and always will be. Sporting rivalry is what makes the game and they are our oldest and most bitter rivals. 2-1 Wales.

[hibsbollah]

Wales will win 2-1.

[Peevemor]

Anyone but England for me. Always has been and always will be. Sporting rivalry is what makes the game and they are our oldest and most bitter rivals. 2-1 Wales.

Same for me. I have English family and I like to think that I'm pretty rational - but I simply can't help myself.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I think England will skoosh it.

Me too, struggling to find much value from a punting perspective though.

[Scouse Hibee]

No, Come on England

[Iain G]

No, Come on England

Isn't Liverpool in North Wales? :wink:

[Cocaine&Caviar]

Nope. Mon Engerland.

Dont care much for either but wales all day. Are people really cheering on england?

[Lancs Harp]

Dont care much for either but wales all day. Are people really cheering on england?

Yes mate, due mainly to the fact that I'm English. :wink:

[Nicho87]

I'll settle at that and no offence taken here but i couldnt support england in tidleywinks never mind football.

Best od luck today friend haha

[Weststandwanab]

[InchHibby]

That's still no excuse

[Pretty Boy]

Dont care much for either but wales all day. Are people really cheering on england?

Yep.

My girlfriend is English, a lot of my friends are English and I'm not huge on international football so a rivalry with England doesn't really mean much to me.

It's been alluded to above but my personal experience of the Welsh, working in hospitality during the 6 nations, isn't particularly positive either. Accept that's a huge generalisation based on encountering a few thousand people though.

[Lancs Harp]

I'll settle at that and no offence taken here but i couldnt support england in tidleywinks never mind football.

Nothing wrong with a bit of Auld enemy banter. We've been at for long enough :greengrin

[The_Todd]

Not me either. Engerland are playing good football and the yakki das are notoriously bad losers.

Are we? Given that we're used to even more failure than Scotland I find that hard to believe.

[Keith_M]

I don't care who wins, so long as the Germans lose



:wink:

[Ronniekirk]

England were by gar the better team against Russian but still couldn't beat them .
So Wales will be confident they can take something from the game if they play well and handle the occasion
Vardy will get game time you would think as there is talk of England going two up top
Should be an entertaining game
Not watched any all the way through yet but might watch most of this one

:aok:

























Ya English Git.

:na na:

[O'Rourke3]

Not bothered. Like watching the Old firm for me but without a deep seated emotion.....

Mrs O3 is English but won't care what the outcome is. If I was going to make a prediction - watch Wales go. Based on nothing but the closing credits of MOTD last night. Ended it with the Henry V speech just before Agincourt but went to some (possibly) Dylan Thomas for balance. A small improvement on the 5 Nations Grand Slam game at Murrayfield in the 90s where Grandstand actually opened with the full clip from the Olivier film.... England were a foregone conclusion and we all (should) know how that turned out.

[Andy.1875]

Hope Wales win. I have them in the sweep.

[lucky]

Not fussed either way but think England will win 3-1

[Kato]

Jambo talk!

Jellybobs?

[scooby]

I'd like Wales to win, always like the underdogs, but Engerland really should skoosh it. They played well against Russia but should have changed the system to accommodate Vardy, may yet bite them on the arse.

[Craig_in_Prague]

I hope Wales win. There's a girl in work I talked into joining the sweep as we were short on participants & she got Wales - and is a nice colleague.
;)

[norhfc]

watching the game in a pub over here with all my English friends....so I,ll be shouting for Wales then, they wouldnt expect anything else :wink:

[LancashireHibby]

Yes mate, due mainly to the fact that I'm English. :wink:
I'm English as well but if pushed I'd say my international loyalties lie with Scotland. I always watch the England tournament games (along with most of the other games as well really) but I can honestly say the result doesn't bother me one bit whichever way it turns out. Gives an excuse to duck work for the afternoon in favour of the pub, at least.

Other half had Northern Irish, Italian, Scottish and English grandparents so it's fair to say she's not exactly a rabid England fan either!

[Canon Hannan]

I really hope the underdogs and our celtic cousins and my business partners win today. The commentary had England winning by the tournament when they went ahead v Russia. Best wishes to the friendly supporters 😛😂

[Bostonhibby]

The office I am contracting in today is in England. Football strips etc allowed. There's dozens of England related tops, one Welsh rugby top and one Hibs strip with a persevered T shirt underneath. Getting some good reactions. 😁

[Hibrandenburg]

As a Hibs fan I take great enjoyment from watching the Yams get pumped, same applies for Engerland due to me being a Scotland fan.

However!!!!! The ideal result for me would be England winning today but Wales and Slovakia qualifying because the Russian and English fans were naughty boys.

[The_Todd]

I'd be gutted if we qualify by default because everyone else got tossed out the tournament. I want us to reach the next round on merit.

[Since90+2]

Fancy Wales to win this. England will probably just qualify as Russia are mince but they will be knocked out in the first knockout stage.

Wales I think could have a decent run in the tournament.

[bobbyhibs1983]

been on holiday for around 13days and miss all the action with a new manager!:confused:

was watching the irish-sweden game in an irish bar in new york (as it was 30seconds from the hotel) with my brother and well was telling the waitress we are cheering on the irish and we were scottish and that we were both ABE and she was like who are they and i was like anyone but england. found it quite sexy myself she talked a lil about how arrogant she though england were and she swore a few times!

so wales it is for me:na na:

[Peevemor]

I'd be gutted if we qualify by default because everyone else got tossed out the tournament. I want us to reach the next round on merit.

I don't care which of the two of them win or lose. FWIW I think England will win.

[Hibrandenburg]

Didn't seem to bother the Danish in 92.

[ShinyFantastic]

Come on the Welsh!

[Rasta_Hibs]

Not fussy really but kind of happy if either of them win.

I don't have much emotional involvement with international football, Scotland included.

It's awww aboot Hibs for me!

[Moulin Yarns]

[Lancs Harp]

Just out of interest does anyone know why its sometimes spelt Cymru and sometimes Gymru?

[The_Todd]

Didn't seem to bother the Danish in 92.

This is our first tournament since '58. While I wouldn't exactly turn it down, it'd feel like a damp squib if we get to the last match against Russia with qualification in the balance then have no match to play because they've been already booted.

[.Sean.]

Wales btts is 14/1 on bet365

[G B Young]

Unless you're English or Welsh, who really cares??

Andy Murray's in action at Queen's which is where my attention will be on the sporting front today.

[The_Todd]

Just out of interest does anyone know why its sometimes spelt Cymru and sometimes Gymru?

Welsh lesson of the day. The answer is Mutation.

Welsh words can change their spelling and sounds based on what words proceed it. There's probably more rules, but this is all I can remember from High School. It then helps the words flow better.

Example:

Cardiff: Caerdydd
Welcome to Cardiff: Croeso i Gaerdydd
I live in Cardiff: Rydw i'n byw yng Nghaerdydd

I cannot believe I remember this stuff.

[Scouse Hibee]

Isn't Liverpool in North Wales? :wink:

Close

[Moulin Yarns]

Just out of interest does anyone know why its sometimes spelt Cymru and sometimes Gymru?


Not 100% but I gather it's a bit to do with the word that precedes it, think along the lines of the "I before E" rule in English.

[PeeJay]

Or is it just me? :-)

I was touched to see the Welsh singing so emotionally at the first EM game, and I would like the team to progress, but I'd also like to see England finally achieve something in an international competition, so the answer's no - should be a really interesting game though ...

[Zazu62]

If all else fails .. Try Wales 😂😂

[MKHIBEE]

Me too, struggling to find much value from a punting perspective though.
Guarenteed winnings with bet365, take the double chance 1/2 before kickoff max £50 and £50 on the draw inplay, if inplay bet loses you get your stake refunded, not massive winnings on the double chance but it's a no lose situation

[CallumLaidlaw]

Guarenteed winnings with bet365, take the double chance 1/2 before kickoff max £50 and £50 on the draw inplay, if inplay bet loses you get your stake refunded, not massive winnings on the double chance but it's a no lose situation

I'll be on this, but it is a risk. Both my mates have now had their accounts restricted, one also never got his £50 refunded - due to there being T&C's to state that you can't fix the offer so that it's "no lose"

[Finn2015]

Wales are 5/1 to win at the moment. Pretty decent odds I'd say.

Not really, hope for a good game and the best team to win

Would've said any of:

1. Wales because I am a bit Welsh
2. England or Wales because I'm plenty happy for any Brit team to win
3. Wales because England are kind of our derby rivals
4. England because I'd like them to finally deliver a bit on their potential
5. England because I feel Wales chanced it a bit against us
6. England because that's probably more annoying to the Russian SpetzCasuals
7. Wales because there's a bit of romance about them qualifying having waited since 1958
8. Wales because Joe Jordan's arm definitely owes them one
9. Wales because while I have a Whole Lotta Love for the English I just cannot abide their commentators
10. Wales because Roy Hodgson is THE dullest man in the world
11. England because in my warped mind the better they do internationally the less chance there ever is of them admitting Celtc and The Rangers into their league.

But since seeing The Green Goblin's magnificent Cup Final tribute video on another thread, I'm just going to go with Hibs for tonight's game.

[TAHibby]

[JeMeSouviens]

Wales as underdogs for me although not nearly as much as if it was Clive Tyldesley commentating.

England's strip (in common with most Nike) is honking. Quite like Wales' though.

Why did he set up a wall? The free kick must have been from about 35 yards where he would have had all the time in the world to watch where the ball was going. Putting a wall up just blocked his view.

England have plenty bodies in the final third, but they're pretty toothless. They don't look like scoring to me, more likely to get a Bale goal on the counter.

This has to be the worst match of the tournament so far - astonishingly poor stuff from England, looks like they will be home before the postcards after all, disappointing!

[Mon Dieu4]

As soon as they play against someone decent they are done, I don't buy the whole England have been playing well nonense, they've looked average against two poor teams

[High-On-Hibs]

Fair enough. They probably deserve it. I don't give them a chance against the top sides though. Not with Smalling and Cahill at the back. That's if they make it through to the top sides. Still not entirely convinced they will.

[cabbageandribs1875]

first time england have ever came from behind to win a game in a major tournament, silly welsh

[Scorrie]

My bro was talking about backing Wales HT England FT at 35/1 last night, I talked him out of it....oops.

He is a Hearts fan though, so....:greengrin

Ouch! Bet you're popular!

[Scouse Hibee]

Great win,hope he learns from his selection mistakes.

[BroxburnHibee]

Tactically poor from the Welsh.

Trying the Greek approach.

Hodgson started with the wrong team but ultimately they sorted it out and absolutely deserved it.

[Hibbyradge]

I'm disappointed for Wales, but they were terrible and got what they deserved.

I think that's England through, at worst as one of the best third placed teams, but I think they'll beat Slovakia to top the group.

Wales v Russia will be interesting. I hope Wales are more positive than they were today.

[Dr Jimmy]

After 2 seasons of watching teams put 10 men behind the ball and playing for the draw, its refreshing that the team trying to win actually did!

[jacomo]

That's if they make it through to the top sides. Still not entirely convinced they will.

Can England still finish 4th? 3rd place with 4 points would probably be enough.

Exciting group now though, if low on quality.

[emerald green]

The better team won, and deservedly so.

[CropleyWasGod]

No.

They'd need to be battered by Slovakia to lose out now.

[The_Todd]

To be honest, I got wrapped up in the excitement after we had a lucky victory against Slovakia. I can't be too upset today if I'm being objective, we've got one world class player, two or three quality players and a squad of lower level premiership\championship players. We're lucky as it is to be in the Euros, I won't lose sight of that. England utterly dominated that match and deservedly won.

Onwards to the Russia match.

[Haymaker]

Set up for England to be knocked out on penalties! :hyper

[High-On-Hibs]

Can England still finish 4th? 3rd place with 4 points would probably be enough. Exciting group now though, if low on quality. How does the 3rd place thing work anyway? If it's goal difference, then it could be a really close call whether they go through or not.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Not in the bottom corner but I remember Andy Goram getting beat by a screamer in the top corner when we were playing Leige in Europe .

Even with two of himself in goal he had no chance wi that one!

I put £60 on that game and somehow escaped level!

£10 ew Sterling
£10 Sturridge next goal @ 0-1
£30 England win @ EVS when it was 1-1
I feel a tad ashamed!

[Brightside]

Order of St George in Gold Cup, and England to win double. GET ON!

That'll do... a bit tighter than expected on both counts.

[Hibrandenburg]

I make that out as you're £10 better off?

[CockneyRebel]

been on holiday for around 13days and miss all the action with a new manager!:confused:

was watching the irish-sweden game in an irish bar in new york (as it was 30seconds from the hotel) with my brother and well was telling the waitress we are cheering on the irish and we were scottish and that we were both ABE and she was like who are they and i was like anyone but england. found it quite sexy myself she talked a lil about how arrogant she though england were and she swore a few times!

so wales it is for me:na na:

Did you not show her Bale's pre match comments. You could have said to her "That's arrogance darlin"

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Lost £30 on Sterling and Sturridge, won £30 on an England win.

[The_Todd]

Behave. Wales have a togetherness and team spirit that helps them perform better than the sum of their parts. What was he going to say? "Get shot of Hal Robson Kanu, I want Harry Kane"? Of course he wasn't. How would that go down with the rest of the squad?

Do you honestly think Gareth Bale believes deep down Wales squad is better than England? Course he doesn't.

[CallumLaidlaw]

I've won over £500 by doing this all season with bet 365 .

Oh me too mate. But just pointing out that they do ban folk for it

[heretoday]

Actually, I believe we have reached the stage where Engerlund don't think they are going to win the tournament and just appreciate the efforts of their team.

Apart from the obvious hooligan element who would behave like morons at any time, their supporters and their media seem to be in a more healthy frame of mind.

English supporters, and media, commentators all in a healthier frame of mind? who is it healthier for? the whole shooting match is just the same. different squad of players..........same old same old. the bloody commentator actually said, oh dear look at this Bale is taking steps back like this is a rugby kick. result.....Goal, and the goalie had a silly smirk which was full on camera just before the free kick. typical smart erse comments.

[Itsnoteasy]

No, Come on England

When the hooligans kick off your a Scouse.
But when team are playing your English.
Make up your mind.

[Pretty Boy]

Going to give it a rest.

You don't like SH, we all get it, but your relentless nipping away at him like a terrier is wearing thin.
