2. We are linked to the brain tumour charity, and despite a handful of people looking to undermine that since our inception every post you make should have consideration for the charity, its goals and objectives. Think, “how would I feel if the owners of this website started bad mouthing and running down my website if I did the same as a result of a family member dying”

I’ve always liked long hair I’m not gay curious but I’ve always thought Mediterranean men with long dark hair and olive skin did well with ladies I wish I’d been born ginger free but it’s my Celtic roots I’m pure blood Welsh sadly

Nobody uparrows me
What I haven't done for quite a while is accidently do a repeat post on a thread where a reply/comment appeared 2-3 times, it used to happen rather a lot with me for some reason.

It might be age Wingy Btw, I read that thread on JA I had to have a lie down afterwards Just incredible I’ve often said is Welsh are genetically divided in every way It’s why we turn on each other and why independence would see serious disorder Some don’t see it You have to be honest if only with yourself

Jumps up in amazement I just had long hair but not too long as I was very young Tesco manager and was always under pressure to cut it Imagine that now Ian McClaurin himself , an obnoxious shytehouse, on a visit told me that although the store looked good , I didn’t FFS I would never have tied it up in a pony tail though nor worn an Alice band Imagine walking into the Criterion with long hair with a lady band on your hair
Ben Sherman shirts , bracers and DMs on The North Bank but as a youngster felt so comfortable in that safe enviroment , my parents disapproved of me attending The Vetch .
Still enjoy MOTD and follow results on highlights tele but have never got involved with subscriptions and Pay per View policies and never will .
Appreciate an old dinosaurs reasoning will not be accepted these days .

Harrington jackets available in Pictions Arcade are another sign of my last few remaining grey matter cells slowly doing a runner from my memory thought process .
Some books mid Seventies bigging up skinheads was replaced by suedeheads as the next new generation of thugs , I was denim clad in them days .
Put me in a pair of 501 Levis now but please expand the waistline tolerances available .

And the first skinheads, the real ones came straight off the Windrush.
Interesting background to look up on that and I will research that history .
Boover boys and DMs on the North Bank were a growing up experience as a youngster at The Vetch but never ever was I scared to attend a Swans home game .
Violence on the terraces and in surrounding Streets I got away asap especially after Tuesday night evening kick offs , get the bus stop which was where Wilko is now or was .

The association with skinheads forced onto people is that they are right wing, When you look at the Windrush and the people coming off the ships from that era you see pork pie hats (for storing food for a working day hence the name) braces to hold up their trousers with boots. The music even in the very early sixties reflected a skinhead / ska influence. Desmond Dekker, Derrick Morgan, Laurel Aitken, Symarip and The Pioneers were all evident.
Some of the skinheads of the late seventies were just young dickheads, attached themselves to the punk scene. Plenty of punk / skinhead bands about then (and now) mostly anti fascist.

I am a little concerned at the loss of the other site. A few of their posters were clearly a bit strange and filled with anger and frustration and the site might have been of therapeutic value with respect of course.
They had very little time for me before I was ejected brutally from the other failed site Scfc2. I did warn them that squashing debate and intolerance would lead to boredom and staleness. Remember Swansea Trust declined to sell any of their shares which were worth £21m.
All is not lost.I read West Hams revenue was a massive £230m. The cheapest cost of a Premier League team would be around £200m at a guess meaning the permanent 5% would be worth £10m. The current leadership did well to salvage that concession if is is as presented.

There’s debate and tolerance and there’s wanting to pursue a website and it’s charity since it started with venemous lies and pathetic harrasment. I would say there’s a few on Phils site and scfc2 (who I’m proud to say I had a hand in bringing down their forum) who need time out from being on the internet. You mentioned mental health, well maybe some time off from talking shit and looking for it online will help.

Took a liking to some ska music back in the early eighties , seem to remember a lot of the stuff came out of Coventry and The Midlands , Specials and Ghost Town was a good one .
Bad Manners and Busterblood vessel were great as an act , good fun as well .
Suggs and Madness are still having a go too and well done to them even now .

I'm glad there is strict moderation on here and posters mostly abide by the rules even when things get a little heated. It's non-existent elsewhere. I was particularly disgusted to see more than one user signing off posts with "Up the 'RA"....You have to question the mentality - 32 Welsh servicemen were murdered in cold blood a number of them from the Swansea area. Imagine one of the relatives browsing the site and reading that? No wonder Phil's sick of it and packing it in.

I fully admit to getting OTT over the years but I try to be honest and say it as it is This invariably upsets people As regards the Irish question then there is no debate winner ergo it’s a pointless waste of our precious time left on this planet For what it’s worth I think we are a very inwardly prone fan base and tear into each other on a way few other clubs do I love this club but it’s not always a joy Jacks should have no choice though , Swans or nowt
