LOL Llandudno and Conwy boarded up? Simply not true....
Re the Enlish - Welsh thing.
Its a national pass time here to hate the English , in a [mostly] good natured way. But if you know a little Welsh History it does seem a touch insensive to fly the English flag when in Wales.
But I'd never condone any violent or damaging action, BUT as DriagFlag87 said Bleanau Ffestiniog is a bit rough, best remove them.....
Can't stand football, couldn't care less about how England do. Would rather stick pins in my eyes than have an England flag anywhere near my car.
I can't remember the last time the Welsh invaded England and tried to destroy their language and culture though :shrug:

Touché. I'm 1/3rd German, think I might put a German flag on my car and see how long it takes to get keyed![]()

I agree with DriagFlag87 the Welsh people are hard to get accepted by at first, they seem to have an inherent distrust of strangers. Not good for an area where the main business is toursium!

One reason why i dislike the nature of football.
For example:
Chelsea VS Arsenal, Fans will fight and slag off the opposite team and evan put someone in hospital becuase they support a different team.
England VS Germany, All the people who were fighting and slagging off people because they support a different team are now best buddys!
Dont you think we should stop living in the past and get on? If wales or scotland was in the world cup and england wasnt, i would support them over pretty much any other team.
This is the "Wild West" after all! YEEEE HAWWWW!![]()
Easier said when your country is the one who was the one doing committing the opressionAs someone with South African blood in my veins I LOVE when we beat England at Rugby Union, it's just a fantastic feeling

Yeah but you don't hear me saying that black South Africans should just get over itYeah because South Africa never oppressed anyone did they....?![]()

Yeah that's the silly thing about it. Because of silly rivalries people lose sight of the actual game. My personal opinion is that football is so boring that it means that people have to have these meaningless rivalries to make it exciting.
But it's so farcical, with people throwing themselves on the ground to get penalties and winning like that. Tbh its heading towards the syncronised swimming and ice dancing end of sporting pursuits. It simply doesn't make sense to me that rugby and cricket have adopted video refs and football is still running around claiming that the refs split second decision is right :shrug:It is pure gang mentality which I too struggle with.
Even though I'm not a fan of domestic football, I don't think the spectacle is any more or less scintillating than rugby union, test cricket, snooker masters or anything else. I suppose it comes down to how much as an individual you buy into the occasion. Personally, I love all world cup and olympic events where the worlds best compete for honours.
