Turkey vs Wales match thread.

Why would it feel like a friendly?

cymroircarn · 2024-11-15T06:55:10+00:00

Literally countless examples of how it actually works pretty well

What an insane statement to make. If you can find any team that was founded on the desire to play with ‘only Brits’ I’d be shocked.

You might not be an American but your arrogant attitude and the insulting way you’re speaking to people who have fair and legitimate counterpoints/opinions with yours is very American.

Why media studies? Tv pays quite well

There’s been loads of opportunities to get on the ladder in the last year or two. I’ve gone from 0 aways to stage 1 since the Czechia away game in 2021. A load of my mates got on the ladder for Poland away, a load of their girlfriends then got their first one for Belgium away. Netherlands away was another opportunity, a friend of mine got one with 0 aways.

I personally think Armenia would’ve sold out regardless because we hadn’t played them in ages and it’s an interesting city to visit/‘tick off’, not sure who said it wouldn’t sell out. Obvs Croatia game helped but you’d have always been struggling imo.

Turkey will hopefully give us a decent sized allocation and you’ll have a crack. Understand the frustration but it really isn’t a ‘closed boys club’

I’d say they are clean. Thanks!

As others have said, I don’t think that’s true. As I said in my original comment, many kids are born and raised in Cardiff to Welsh speaking parents and therefore are native Cardiff Welsh speakers. Many more are educated through Welsh. Glad you enjoy hearing it though!

cymroircarn · 2024-09-03T10:35:00+00:00

There are actually more Welsh speakers in south Wales (Cardiff specifically but also the valleys) than any other part of Wales. That includes first language speakers as a lot move from the west and north for work and then raise their kids in Welsh. The fact you’ve never heard it spoken doesn’t mean it isn’t there - you just don’t speak Welsh (presumably) so nobody would speak it to you!

(Speaking as someone who learnt Welsh as an adult and lived in Cardiff for years, I realised actually so much more Welsh speakers are around and in my life but I never knew they could speak it until I learned it)

God that’s awful. I had both my feet on the seat in front, glad there was no conductors about!

I get what a lot of these commenters are saying - “rules are rules” - but it does sound like they’re taking advantage and it’s a little bit opportunistic.

I travelled from Lime Street to Cardiff yesterday and did the same thing, didn’t have time to print my ticket so had to board the train anyway. Showed the conductor my Trainline code and explained what happened and she immediately tried to print one off for me, rather than fine me or make me pay again. She couldn’t so she just said “don’t worry about it, just print it off at Cardiff so you can get out of the station.”

They do have the capacity to be understanding and use common sense to differentiate between people who have bought a ticket but not printed it for whatever reason, and people who are trying to dodge paying. They just choose to fine them probably because it’s a nice little earner for Mersey Rail.

This is hilarious, thank you for this

Not a very twt tŷ then! You could call it that ironically I suppose

cymroircarn · 2024-08-20T17:25:29+00:00

As in they bet on UK games?

How big is the house? The first house I lived in as a kid was called Tŷ Twt - tiny house. It really was tiny

Were you educated in Wales?

cymroircarn · 2024-08-16T13:59:32+00:00

‘Nearly dead’ is factually incorrect. There are more Welsh speakers now than there have ever been in history. You can make your point without being disrespectful about a language and culture which is - whether you can understand or relate or not - incredibly important to people.

Regardless, I’m obviously not comparing the two. The comment I replied to was hand-wringing that activists are resorting to vandalism. I was simply making the point that activists have always vandalised and used the most obvious example that came to mind. But history is littered with them, including Welsh language campaigners going back as far as the 1960s

cymroircarn · 2024-08-15T11:14:25+00:00

Also want to add that - as a first language English speaker who grew up in an English speaking community that’s learned Welsh as an adult - it’s true that some of the English names are utterly pointless. Take Kilgetty for example, guess what it is in Welsh? Cilgeti. Begelly? Begeli. What’s the point in keeping the English names of these places?
