I thought he was supposed to be Welsh.

I know I heard that the prick.

Genuinely thought I'd misheard him.

Dunno can't remember him playing for Wales :laughing6:

Heard it too. Why does he want to manage Wales? He's never given a toss.

Shameful.

Re: Giggs just said WE when referring to mighty England.

What a sad excuse for a man he is.I'm gutted he's our manager,absolute tw*t!

Re: Giggs just said WE when referring to mighty England.

Embarrassed. Clearly feels he's English.

I thought I’d misheard him too. Clearly not.

Doesn’t even shock me though, when it comes to Giggs... he put his club career before Wales and has been a pundit for England matches since he retired - can’t remember him being a pundit on Wales games.

He may be Wales manager, but he only sees that as a route into management - nothing more.

Another thing he should be ashamed of. I can’t help wondering how our international squad felt watching that?

He’s an awful pundit as well, nearly as bad at being a pundit as he is a brother.

He shagged his brothers Mrs wouldn’t expect any less.

I’d prefer to talk to a wall than the shower that is Giggs, he’s scum and I’ll never accept him as welsh manager

Re: Giggs just said WE when referring to mighty England.

Giggs is as Welsh as Chief Sitting Bull. Complete tosser in my eyes.

Never like this message board to over react is it.

Can’t imagine what you lot would be like if something really bad was to happen.

Did any other foreign pundit say "we"?

You say people are over reacting, are we not allowed to discuss or even be pissed off that our international managerb refered to England as "we".

There's no over reaction, people questioned his commitment to Wales when appointed and to do that last night is frankly ridiculous. But we all know that your English so you'd be fine with it anyway.

I like Giggs but it was a poor slip up admittedly.

However in the heat of live TV I don't think we need to go to overboard over a slip of the toungue but I understand why people would be pissed off.

Re: Giggs just said WE when referring to mighty England.

Never liked him, Never wanted him. c**t

Re: Giggs just said WE when referring to mighty England.

I'm a lifelong City fan and I am English. I started the thread (hence the mighty England piss take). As an Englishman I think it's fucked. We don't want him either and I'd rather he didn't say we. I love Wales and always support them after England as I lived there most of my childhood. I don't say WE when referring to Wales though despite my mates saying I'm Welsh.

The fact that the other pundits didn't point it out implies he does it a lot.

Embarrassment to Wales and everything we stand for!

Well done FAW

With you on this. It was a stupid and embarrassing slip of the tongue in the heat of a live TV debate. We don't like hearing it but to throw around the abuse is an overreaction.

That is true but just about every other professional player does the same because it is their livelihood.

i wouldnt either..but i have lived my entire life in Wales so its not quite the same thing and we are all different.
slightly different but do you want immigrants here to integrate and ideally feel at least partly welsh or bloody mindedly cling on to their bloodline..
i know quite a few boys of italian descent who who support Cardiff and Wales but will support Italy in world cups and say WE about both Wales and Italy.

Fair point but hes managing the Wales National team and is representing the team and, by extension, the country where ever he goes.

Like i said, i dont want to over-react to it, i dont think its a massive deal but also would rather he didnt say it
