1.) Rose tinted meaning you're excessively optimistic about Wales as a footballing nation. 2.) Nationalist in using a Welsh phrase many of us don't understand. I had to DM a mate from North Wales on Twitter to check what it meant. I'm from Pembrokeshire. We spoke English. I'm staggered they've allowed such an arrogant bully to moderate on here. My father told me Pembrokeshire is known as Little England but u called me English but I probably speak more Welsh than you. lol If you called me English then I’d politely correct you. You’re yet to do so. You live somewhere like Surrey, support Crystal Palace, boast about your wealth and patronise everyone going. This isn’t the traits of a Welshman. Are you Welsh or English? Answer the question now. That little thing called life has got in the way of me attending matches until I was older. There was no money as a family, I’ve had caring responsibilities, unemployment, other commitments and things I’d rather not go in to (none of which is your collective business.) I didn’t have a holiday for ten years. I also watched every match possible and defended our cause to anyone opposing it. Now things are different, I have a Tournament Ticket in the Canton, did Denmark, Ireland and Albania this year and am set for all four next year. Hotels already booked. It’s such a shame that all the great people in the real world watching Wales are overshadowed by the elitist cunts on here. You’d never hear Welsh spoken where I grew up. Pembroke, Haverfordwest, Milford Haven, Fishguard. We all spoke English. Who is it first language with? 10%? You only hear it in pockets at matches. Still, he can order Carling in Welsh whilst in Thornton Heath of a Saturday. Bro.

Fishguard born and bred,most people here have some knowlege of Welsh if not all fluent very different to the other towns mentioned which are in the South of the county where little Welsh is spoken off course but no less Welsh.The language still quite strong in the north though in fact met people from places like Crymych and Maenclochog whose English isnt very good,lol! Latest ONS survey shows 30% of Wales population can now speak Welsh,up from 25% just 10 years ago. So a healthy increase although youd like to hear more of it in public outside its Gwynedd heartland. Plenty of Welsh spoken on Wales away trips anyway in my experience.

I grew up in Fishguard completely bilingual (Welsh and English), it's only in the last 20 yrs or so that Welsh is not heard quite so much on the streets here, as the working age population has moved in search of jobs. There's very little here now to attract young people, although many retired English selling up and moving here for the scenery and cheaper properties. The rural areas around Fishguard are still very much Welsh speaking.

I have a family to provide for and my interests usually come second. However I have been watching Wales since the late 70s and don't like being patronized by what some people call band Wagoners. I am no super fan and my opinion is no more valid than anyone else. It is a coincidence that I am usually right😎

I have family from all over South Wales and none of us are Welsh fluent. Are there many Welsh language papers, radio stations etc? Is it spoken in Don’t Take Me Home, Jack To A King or The Call Centre on BBC3? No. The Welsh language section is barely used on here either.
I’ve met so many people watching us in the last few years and there’s only tiny pockets speaking Welsh to each other. Yes, the language must be respected but it’s not a contest. All this boils down to is a supposed moderator using a Welsh slang term to try and mock me. Imagine working with a dozen Poles who only speak Polish in the workplace. One points at you and says something who makes the others roar with laughter. You’d get upset and rightly so.
My dad died when I was young and there was nobody to take me to the match. My mum had to move us away for work and I simply never got the bug to attend. I’ve lived in England since my teenage years. I financially supported my long term partner whilst she studied for a better life (she also had her daughter to raise after the sperm donor fucked her off) and that was me. We’re no longer together. My friends who attend now are single or have grown up children / understanding wives. That’s it.
I went to Serbia away alone (to much ridicule from my circle in Manchester) and was hooked. After help paying off a chunk of my mortgage when my mum sold the old family home, I’m financially solvent and able to live well now. To be constantly slagged for never getting to go as a young man is upsetting. Working class families in Wales struggle to put food on the table. We had nothing in Pembrokeshire. I find returns emotional and difficult.
If I continue to get spoken down to like this then the powers that be can terminate my account on the forum. I’m done.

Its not a contest - but you cleary have a problem with the Welsh Language. Seen you on Twitter having a go at the barry horns for tweeting in welsh alone. Don’t quite get your point on English speaking programs/films not having Welsh either- its like saying Radio Cymru or S4c doesn’t have any English Comparison with our national language and a foreign language is also nonsense. Admire your story and good luck on your journey but you’re views are pretty narrow minded and misconceived

With Mourinho sacked, who else is kinda hoping (but not expecting) Giggs will get the job at United? It's not that I've given up on Giggs, far too early for that, but his appointment so far has more or less followed the trajectory I expected - i.e. underwhelming.

It would be terrible if Giggs went to United. The last 12 months will have been for nothing. I think we're in a great position to qualify for Euro 2020, and if we have to start again, that would be thrown into jeopardy!

It has been reported that it's someone steeped in the traditions of the club who is currently "tying up loose ends with other interests" which isn't expected to be a problem... ...in Giggs case that would be extracting himself from Salford and cancelling a shopping centre opening in Bahrain. At his first presser you can imagine the question: "So what about the Wales job Ryan?" "Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that! Better let them know..."

Take your point kinsgtonred, but we haven't exactly set the world alight in the past year (barring ROI at home, not including China). We've some excellent young players now plus experienced class, it would take an incompetent not to qualify for 2020. We'd just need someone with the nous to tweak a few things (defence and tracking back when not in possession, to name a couple). However, I doubt Giggs will be on any shortlist for ManU at the moment.

Giggs has done a great job of blooding youngsters - so his time wouldn't have been wasted. The question still remains though whether he could do a better job than Craig Bellamy, Nathan Jones or even Cameron Toshack. I think the jury's out on that. The bottom line here is that if United want Giggs as a caretaker manager I don't think he'll be able to resist the offer. I also don't think he would be able to combine the roles - given how all-consuming the United job would be.

At the very least, Utd will look to claw a Europa position this season. With Giggs' mixed results, I can't see them taking a punt on him at all. And as disappointed as I am with some of our results since March, I've also seen enough (even from our last competitive game) to suggest that we've got a very bright future as a team. Looking over the last twelve months, we have improved since the World Cup qualifying campaign and have blooded a great deal of new, young players in the process. We are still in transition. It'd be very short-sighted to offload Giggs at this point imo.
