He's also proved me wrong when I didn't think he'd make it at Premier League level. I'll support him when he plays for Wales and abuse him when he plays for the Jacks against us. sounds like a fair compromise!

My Opinion
Ashley Williams doesn't get stick from Cardiff fans when playing for Wales
Personally I support the whole Welsh Team
How do you feel about which clubs Ash or the other players play for?

Historically, there was never any real rivalry until c.1980 (can't remember the exact year) and the infamous 'Grandstand' fracas. It all seems to have kicked off from there; hence the reason some (shall we) more mature fans cannot let it it go!
Ashley Williams will inevitably get 'stick' whenever the two clubs meet, but on international duty he is part of your team and should be supported as such!
Wales FC are on the brink of achieving something that no one under the age of 60 will have seen before and supporters of the international team should put aside their differences and prejudices for the benefit of getting behind the team!
The wearing of club shirts at internationals is a little crass, too!
