It's worth a read guys, how people above him on there actually allow it to go to press is laughable.
His obsession with them being the capital team is Truely cringe worthy.

His bias and blatent baiting of Swans fans on twitter would be out of order even if he were just a South East correspondent. But he's meant to be the head of a nationwide outlet. He's an embarrassment.
And his dissention sowing trying to turn Wales fans against Rodon because he was in the away end Legoland in the derby was unforgivable. Deliberately stirring up trouble between Wales fans. Not that the scummers need an excuse to do that.

Absolutely Sir, more than happy to try to explain why I think there's a difference.
I've prosecuted and defended many hundreds of Racially Aggravated offences over the years, the law is evolving and like the chap that was prosecuted for suggesting a police officer's horse was gay, as a hate crime, that would no longer happen.
There is a case called Harvey which involved a group of kids swearing at the police, they were convicted and it was appealed, it was held
' The only possible candidates for being the victims of harassment, alarm or distress, other than PC Challis and PCSO Mcllvaney, were the group of youngsters who gathered round during the exchanges, according to the case statement, or other neighbours. As to the group of young people, it may be inferred that they were interested in what was going on and perhaps even that they were sympathetic to the appellant and his companions rather than the police. There was, after all, a scuffle which was the subject of the charge on which Mr Harvey was acquitted. But it is wrong to infer in the absence of evidence from any of them that a group of young people who were in the vicinity would obviously have experienced alarm or distress at hearing these rather commonplace swear words used”..
Offensive language is also not enough eg, there a was a recent story where a lady was wearing a f... Boris T shirt, she was told to cover it up else face arrest, the police were completely wrong especially as it was a political rally.
Linking it to oppo fans making sheep noises. The thought of a bunch of football fans being suitably harassed at that doesn't hold water. If I was defending I would cite as singing 'Sheep sh,,, bs we know what we are'. Also the song about 'shooting Cardiff scum' also shows that the crowd isn't one to be easily offended (that would be a far stronger candidate for a PO offence, but again, in the context of football, it is different.
Context is all important. I find it embarrassing, and I never join in the anti English songs, stupid ? yes. Racist ? No.
If however, some football fans were to go into a restuarant after the games and started making sheep noises at a Welsh waitress, that would be completely different, different context, offence proved.
Welsh people have not had the centuries of oppression black people have suffered, we don't get killed for being Welsh. No comparison [Post edited 7 Apr 2022 18:25]

I explain my circumstance of being racially abused face to face with sheep themed abuse and call it entirely unacceptable. What goes on in the stadium from 300 yards happens outside within 5 yards. One is OK the other is not. These slurs are sung with gusto and aggression.
You by the sounds of it would compare what darts player Gerwyn Price gets off people as similar to the waitress example. A single target in a hall on 3000 or so with his young family and the focus of everyone's attention. He has been visibly upset more than one and asked for tolerance. Some on here say he deserves it. Shame on them.
Why does history have any relation to hate crimes? Each is an unique event. Race hate crimes toward Pakistanis is a relatively recent phenomena. Poles have been killed for being Polish I recall reading somewhere.
Self preservation might have kept examples down to a minimum. Laugh it off and do not get hurt. The Welsh way perhaps?.
In my opinion the "Welsh Sheep ***ers is" is racially aggravated disorderly conduct especially close up where threatening intent is seen. It is at the less serious end of the racist spectrum admittedly. However Swansea city tell us they have 'zero tolerance'. I claim they are not fulfilling that pledge. Hungarians have no history of Slavery as far as I know.
The bloke a saw close up and personal was splitting violent intent to any Welsh person around. I am sure the substances in his system and 7 pint of Stella would have featured in your defence of him along side his steady 9 to 5 job and a young (all be it remote) family.
I have noticed Sheep themed abuse is getting worse. I do not recall Alun Evans or Leighton Rees getting accused of bestiality in the Darts tournaments pre Barry Hearn in the 1970 and 1980s. |  |

I explained it in the sense of the "dehumanising" aspects. To you and me 'Monkey' chants are appalling. The the average Ferencvaros fan they are a bit of fun. Back in the days of the Vetch if the Rochdale West Indian centre back went off upset the fans would have loved it and laid it on even thicker. I was there and saw it. In those days Gareth Edwards playing "all white skinned " rugby was fine and generally supported. Apologies are thin on the ground.
I can find several example of people being charged with 'sheep related ' abuse under "disorderly racially aggravated behaviour". Please explain how these cases were prosecuted if it is like "night and day".
Sir J have you ever been face to face with someone calling you personally that barb (with your family). I have and it is not pleasant. I see no reason why I have to accept it. What anyone else does (doff their cap to Sass yobs) is up to them. I see a community living in denial. |
Considering just how bigoted you are against non Welsh people your hypocrisy astounds me. If we could form a breakaway city state /republic away from the likes of you and your Cardiff paymasters I’d be delighted. | |

You hate the capital of Wales, BBC Wales, Wales on line (despite evidence to the contrary) but as a proud Welshman will defend the right of a Sass man to call you a bestial pervert. It just a bit of fun. Well it is not in my experience. I respect English people but not their racist underclass.
"Non Welsh people". I spent half my life outside Wales and anyone who called me that had to back off embarrassed. That is because I am not a wimp. You live in a rather odd football bubble. [Post edited 8 Apr 2022 1:43]

I’d say there’s a difference between English and Welsh fans singing silly sheep songs or ‘make sure you go the toilet in England or ‘typical English always cheating ‘ (using your analysis racist) and being confronted outside the ground on a one on one basis.
I’d also say the darts prob would fit into the offence territory, one person suffering abuse like that is different to a football match.
The law or always evolving. I’m simply telling you what case law says. We can have opinions on what constitutes an offence but if the law is against us, it doesn’t matter how much we believe it.
You talk about an ‘English under class’ what about us ? I went to a Welsh Uni and my English mates suffered horrific racist abuse from Welsh people. Also would you advocate arresting Swansea fans for ‘racist English chants ?’ |  | | |

I take on board your points about the geographical areas included in what it terms as 'metropolitan', it was just the result of a quick Google search.
But you seem to have misinterpreted the ethos of my post. The point was that Cardiff despite having access to a substantially larger population that would realistically watch them (but they can't or aren't going to convert to regular fans effectively) does NOT make them at all 'illustrious'. In fact the opposite. It should be an embarrassment.
Whereas Swansea in population terms I'd say is a minnow in comparison with other football clubs.
I actually think that BOTH underachieve in terms of fans. We're both afflicted with the plastic stench supporting the big Saes teams.
Places like Sunderland make us both look bad. [Post edited 7 Apr 2022 19:18]

Yes I understand Chief.A quick google is what I did.
The bite back was at PA just to redress the balance to at least some extent. His article was written as if there is only one team in Wales worth considering. Which when you remember they've lived in our shadow for most of the last 20 years shows incredible bias for a person who is supposed to be balanced in his writing. |  | | |

"Sass" is short for the Scottish 'Sassenach' derived from the English word Saxon. Nothing offensive about it it but I can see you as an Anglo phone it might upset you.
I have lived and worked in a number of countries including Turkiye. One night in Istanbul in 1999 a gang of middle age blokes from Leeds insulted the people of Istanbul. Two of them went home in a box. The banter was not well received.
I do not like being accused of being bestial. No normal person would. Humans have two options when challenged and insulted. Fight or flight. You are a runner. | |

You are failing to incorporate the 'race' angle into your analysis. Gerwyn has a Welsh name unfamiliar to the English urban society and was specifically targeted (already unpopular it has to be said) because of it, by certain groups using anti Welsh tropes.
I am not a legal expert but am aware that the race hate law has been quite dynamic. Celts are a race as sub branch of Indo European. You will I predict see more and more of these cases. The adding of the race angle as I understand it adds a big extra tarriff on punishments.
Welsh chanting is not racist. Advising where to go to the toilet has nothing to do with race. English 'always cheating' is also very mild where referees are invariably English and simulation is part of the game. A Welsh person who claimed English people were in some way deviant would be seen as puerile.
People who have abused Welsh Police or Welsh security officials have been convicted of "racially aggravated disorderly conduct" by calling an officer a sheep sh***ger face to face. I can find three or four precedents.
I have a zero tolerance attitude to racism. I do not differentiate. The club cannot claim to have 'zero tolerance' if it does not endeavour to stamp out the puerile sheep themed abuse which regularly spills over to direct threatening behaviour and violence on concourses. Greater violence is only avoided by Welsh fans who brush it off as vaguely amusing (at 300 yards range). It is a cop out. We should be protected by law.

Did you know that Saesenach was derived from the Welsh language? See also Glaschu(Glasgow - claimed to be galic but I’m not convinced)) Ystrad Clud (Strathclyde).
Ha I just put trumped you an the good old “British” language. Now please run along and start victimizing the people of Neath because they are so different to Resolvens’ although just ten miles apart.

What he says is probably factually correct, Cardiff being the Capital City probably are attractive to foreign buyers who could be sold the dream of buying a club in the capital city, a stadium where the National team play, only a bridge to cross to England, and it has to be said a pretty cool City to visit, eat, Cardiff Bay, especially is very European.
We, geographically, are more isolated, a treck to get too, a more beautiful City but, I don't think, not so great for eating out, location to the the main centre etc.
Fan base point doesn't make sense, I'm an exile but I wouldn't support Cardiff if they were in the Premiership, even if we were non league, but casual foreign fans ? Yes no doubt, but so did we when we went up. We also showed that we could stabilise, only a series of crazy buys then chasing losses, sent us back down again.
We can sell ourselves on the beauty of the area, and what is more, our brand of football, we were everyone's second team when we went up, there's no reason why we cannot do it again. As I've said all season, we need to give this guy a chance (despite me being majorly peeved off in Blackpool) , a decent summer, couple of players who can play the system, next year, we could be deadly.
Bit of a daft article, sounds like fluff trying to write something positive after last Saturday's fun and games
Trust the Process
PS I don't really care if BBC Wales ignore us, I was brought up watching Neath, anti establishment. We're obviously winding them up, let's make it so they cannot ignore us [Post edited 7 Apr 2022 16:28]

One thing I will say about this is that they are not the capital city in the English league.
More should me made of this fact.
London is the capital of England and they play in the English league. |  |
