| The DOUBE Cardiff City thread 09:44 - Mar 12 with 53023 views | NotLoyal |
It’s the little people, when the Jack Army arrives again to take over the village of small folk like an episode of land of the giants this is the matchday thread for the forthcoming game which will see Swansea City make history.
All your relevant nonsense is welcome here, from the bizarre ramblings of Benny and his fictitious pamphlet written by an anus, to the rattling negativity of those we shall not name.

Maybe but if someone choses to support the swans, and they’re English or Welsh but, with an English wife who also supports Swansea, (or just because they want to ) eg, what’s wrong the the British flag ? It’s got nothing to do with anyone else ?
Seems an odd thing to get upset about. We’re all British |
Not everyone thinks the union jack represents us in Wales and not just literally, Swansea is a Welsh club, when I started watched the Swans the supporter base reflected that, now Swansea is getting infiltrated by outsiders.
Swansea should be proud of its roots, proud to be a Welsh club and what with football being tribal Swansea should be proud to be different to teams from the other side of the border. |  |

Struggling to see what the league of Wales has to do with it.
The fact that we play in a league with teams from England is exactly the reason why we shouldn't want to be a generic club like Stoke / Chelsea / Spurs and their union jacks.
We are unique and have a different national football team to them. Why not celebrate that? |
Yes exactly and that is the way it used to be, Swansea fanbase identified Swansea as a Welsh club playing in the football league mainly against teams from England , Swansea is now getting overrun by something that is unrecognisable to somebody of my age. | |

Well unfortunately let's face it, the union jack's are taken in part to be exactly that - to be divisive. They know it causes friction and it's still done. The Welsh flag on the other hand shouldn't cause offense to anyone or even a standard swans flag with no country affiliation. |
Yes exactly. | |

I'd say there's always been an element of it at Swansea since I've started watching the swans but with social media etc now it is more visible. I wouldn't say it's grown much but it gets more airtime now. |  |

Oh Jesus, we're on flags again.
Seriously, who gives a flying 🟨ðŸ™
We've just done the first ever double and our fans are on here debating the merits of the UJ. Some of our fans identify as British. Get over it.
Up the Swans.

I was in work yesterday so you'll forgive me for bathing in the afterglow somewhat.
I just can't believe any Swans fan would give a toss about flags in the context of that superb win yesterday, But apparently some do.
Fair enough. I'll go back to watching the highlights on repeat  | | | |

Just like I'd never let Cardiff fans stop me from following my country I wouldn't let my enjoyment of the swans be dampened by the flags, although it would preferable if the club wasn't associated with it in my opinion - it's not a good look at all.
The context is of course that the UJs are more numerous and is flaunted more when we play the scum. | |

Overrun with English players as well 9 of the squad were English and 5 of the starters were English, are you suggesting we get rid of them? We are a multi national team. Swansea 1st irrespective of nationality. Great result yesterday for Swansea FC lets celebrate it as a team! |  |

Subservience??? What are you talking about?
You need to look at other countries far less fortunate and prosperous than Wales and see what subservience us.
You don’t know you’re born! | |

Because we are at football games, not a military parade. There is British football team.
Our football team is Wales.
And Wales obviously has no connection to the union jack. |
Of course Wales does its a British flag, and we are part of the United Kingdom, as much as you dislike it |  |

In this union of equals all the other home nations are represented are they not? | |

You don't see the numerous Wales flags at all our games? Are you a spectacle wearer? If not I'd suggest a visit to the opticians. [Post edited 3 Apr 2022 11:24]

"now Swansea is getting infiltrated by outsiders."
I've been watching the Swans across all divisions and have met many non Wales born fans.
Most have some story/family history that ties them to supporting the club.
Some went to Swansea Uni and watched us at the Vetch and were hooked
Do you know these outsiders so well that you can make that generalization. | | | |
