It's a beautiful thing called banter...i'm a Welshman working in England have had my fair share of it especially in the world cup.....looking forward to work on Monday

Not to be taken too seriously of course

squiz · « **Reply #4 on:** 25 February 2012, 08:21:08 pm »

banter is one thing.....nobody who plays rugby at that level is a loser....and no im not english im manx.......

Bracechenko · « **Reply #5 on:** 25 February 2012, 08:26:16 pm »

They lost, ergo 'loser'....quite simple.

I guess it's still a little sore right now, I get it so i'll shut up now as i'd be hurting too

I was just saying to my son before the game. how sad the welsh folk are. The only thing they enjoy is beating England at rugby. They didnt even build the wonderful castles. They just have a constant big chip on their shoulders about being welsh.

Skippernick · « **Reply #9 on:** 25 February 2012, 09:25:29 pm »

Wales deserved it they scored more points.
But boyos you didn't have make it hard for your selves against a very inexperinced english side.
They really did make you look very ordinary, and i don't think you'll beat the French on that evidence.

Nah, we enjoy beating France at rugby too. Don't tell me that Wales v England games only mean something extra to the Welsh, it's the classic rivalry that both teams revel in.

We have a chip on our shoulders about being Welsh???...aren't you proud to be English then?......Duh

And what the hell have castles got to do with anything LMAO!

Skippernick - I think England actually made us look very ordinary so well done to them, they finally showed up this tournament and played with passion and skill. They did well to smother Mike Phillips, their defence was solid and they did their homework and stopped us from playing.

I fancy Wales to beat France at the Millenium stadium though

Caernarfon, beaumaris, conwy all fine examples and no visible crumbling unlike the England rugby team today

Excuse me for nit picking

but I think you will find that those castles are Normans

BIG MAC · « **Reply #13 on:** 25 February 2012, 11:52:24 pm »

Excuse me for nit picking ....Normans aren't English

Gingernutz · « **Reply #14 on:** 25 February 2012, 11:58:01 pm »

Fair result - but nowhere near as good a game as the Irish Welsh one. Wales looked nervous and gave away a lot of territory. Not sure why there is so much 'banter' between the English and Welsh - seemed to me to be a lot of southern hemisphere players on the pitch for home nation games so not sure its about home pride at all now

I think they also enjoy a good sing song to be fair :-)

Nope I am contemplating Scotland vs France and noting the French defence may be as good as their bloody castles sadly...however as a Scot of Irish descent who lives in England and France, has a Welsh Christian name and currently working in Scotland...all I can say is 'Bliddy Italians'

Phil · « **Reply #18 on:** 26 February 2012, 05:41:37 pm »

I think England gave a good account of themselves against the World Cup semi finalists. After the dire game against Italy where we had to come back from behind I thought it was a good performance. For a youngish side they will improve.
A one off piece of individual skill won it for Wales.
England were soooo close to a try at the end. One first viewing I thought it was a try. If Walsh had said 'any reason why I cannot award a try?' and not 'try yes or no?' to the TMO it would have been a try. A tense and enjoyable game.

Nick Hood · « **Reply #19 on:** 26 February 2012, 05:47:16 pm »

King Edward built the castles nearly 200 years after the Normans

BIG MAC · « **Reply #20 on:** 26 February 2012, 06:04:34 pm »

Is Andy Robinson Related to King Edward? and I am talking about the potato..

Pepy27 · « **Reply #21 on:** 26 February 2012, 06:39:12 pm »

Seems to me the game turned on a dodgy knock on that Wales got away with.........

and Long Shanks spoke which language ??

pitternator · « **Reply #23 on:** 27 February 2012, 07:55:18 am »

well it was not the run away win some folk predicted. TBH england gave away a crucial penalty and missed kicks. From my angle the last minute try did look as if it had gone down...all in all IMO a very lucky win for wales rather than a victory well won.
For us the spectators...it was a very enjoyable match.

BIG MAC · « **Reply #24 on:** 27 February 2012, 09:09:42 am »

Edward 1 (Not be confused with the earlier Edward the Confessor) would have spoken Norman French - Middle English (Possibly) and almost certainly Latin, he would have been catholic hence the latin. Norman French was the Language of court long after Hastings and William the Conqueror's reign...(Brought about in no small part by the death of Edward the Confessor -and arguably a fruitloop - built pretty cathedrals though)
The castles were built as nothing other than a symbol of authority over the Principality and as a bolt hole just in case the Celts 'Did a Wallace' ...The true story of Wallace incidentally couldn't be further from the blue painted Australian if it tried. He was thought to be a 'second son' of gentry...actually a commoner and a beer thief! Impressive how he manipulated people to get to where he did and most assuredly a competent leader of men. Some would argue more lucky than skillful...but Edward was terrified of him...basically when it took 5 'quality soldiers' to one yokel to subdue an uprising and this while many of the Scottish nobles were fighting in Flanders (Although at that time it's debatable what side they would appear on from day to day as evidenced by the infamous treaty of Irvine)....shall I go on?...oh ok then...motorbikes
