Yr NFL yn Gymraeg! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 As it is St. Davids Day, we thought we'd look at each team and what they'd be called in Welsh!

@REBBrain @TerracerSouth @edjenx @WelshRugbyUnion The last game against France was a Sunday afternoon and there were plenty of freebies going then

@TerracerSouth @edjenx @WelshRugbyUnion Certainly don’t in the Autumns I think this is the first one for Wales. We’ve had a few Friday matches, bloody nightmare getting to Cardiff with the traffic, but can’t recall going to one on a Sunday (debenture holding so go to all of them).

#WALvFRA #6Nations tickets flying off the shelf like wet dog shit. Da iawn @WelshRugbyUnion - this is what it has come to!

@PhilRugby @GeraintKemp I’ve never understood the standalone talk for Llanelli in the same way as Cardiff as from my memory growing up they were our de facto team anyway for top flight rugby. We were out in west Pembs but generally people were nominal Llanelli fans for European games at the very least

@PhilRugby @GeraintKemp Llanelli’s west Wales connection is quite long standing. I remember as a kid Llanelli coming down to Pembrokeshire Show in 2002 for the week, running a stand and giving out loads of Heineken Cup run merch. Had to look up the fixtures for the year as they were all on a t shirt!

Connor Roberts making it 2-0 at Euro 2020 against the supposed dark horses of the tournament, Turkey. The tournament where Connor Roberts scored more goals than the golden boy, Kylian Mbappe. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

If you think international football doesn’t hold a candle to club football, ask the fans of Wales, Scotland and Ireland how their weeks have been. A remarkable few days.

International football is the purest form of the sport we have left

North Macedonia and Kazakhstan have drawn against Belgium, makes you think if a bit of pragmatism could have helped us out

@JoeStephenson96 Sky terrified of scheduling Premier League games against the true meaning of Christmas, the PDC World Darts Championship, so they’ve moved all the games to January instead

@JoeStephenson96 I met Larry Lamb watching a sheep stockjudging competition in a bit of classic nominative determinism

@Colemans_Dream >lose more of those games than you can win. As an audition as a modern manager though, it’s what the top clubs and teams seem to be after for employability down the line. You don’t have to park the bus but the best teams are pragmatic and pick their moments and we don’t do that.

@Colemans_Dream The fact that Bellamy worked with Kompany at Burnley is very striking when you think about it - their relegation in 2023-24 was built on exactly the same frailties we have. It’s great playing attacking football but sticking to it resolutely against top teams means you’ll always>

✍️ Match Report Cymru lose 4-2 to against a strong Belgium side. Were we tactically exposed? Are they just better than us? Will the Welsh rat get a cap? Read here 👉 colemanhadadream.com/belg-h-25/

Bellamy and Page 2 sides of the same coin. Resolutely stick to their way of playing even when it’s clearly not working. Lost to a better team and we’re not really good enough to qualify, we’ve got potential though if we’d just stop making things so hard for ourselves 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #WALBEL

@JoeStephenson96 *Max and Paddy. I’ll have to hand in my Whooooooo Remembers licence over this

@JoeStephenson96 Is she the woman from the Little Chef in Phoenix Nights?

WRU: we’ll consider any options to increase crowds & make game more financially sustainable Fans: we should try and join an Anglo-Welsh league. It would make it easier for away fans to travel, reduce costs & increase income Also WRU: we’re not doing that, we’re sticking with URC

@JoeStephenson96 It’s maybe slightly irrational but Cadbury and Walkers are so BBC, and Nestle and KP are their ITV equivalents.
