This isn't a Wales game.

I doubt those who are willing to give a special welcome afforded the same to Ashley Williams in the last home game, a player far more committed to Wales than Giggs ever was.

well said Barry chuckles,we have to make it an intimidating atmosphere.Leave the man u fans to cheer their own players and we'll cheer ours.
Cheer him after if you want but before and during the game give em hell.

Applaud Giggs? No chance!

And what if he were to score the winning goal? Would you be clapping and cheering when he's running over to the away end to celebrate?

The bloke is not affiliated to our club at all, so he shouldn't get any special treatment from us at all.

He chose to represent Wales, knowing that it was unlikely that he would ever have any international success, when he could have taken the easy option and played for England.

He has preformed at the top level for his whole career and is an outstanding professional who dedicated his life to football. Name another player who has played at the top level as long as he has with the same club.

I don't see why you've mentioned representing Team GB as some sort of negative.

His personal life is just that, his business. As long as he's not taking drugs or committing criminal acts then its nothing to do with us.

As another poster has said, whenever anyone approaches him he's always happy to sign autographs, have pictures taken and talk about football.

His achievements certainly justify people choosing to show him some respect.

If you don't want to then that's your choice just as it's other people's choice to applaud.


He never chose to represent wales......he is welsh.

Contrary to popular belief, Giggsy never had the option of playing for England. He was born in Cardiff to Welsh parents, and only moved to the Manchester area when he was seven.

He did captain England schoolboys when he played at that level for Manchester United but, : "That was due to residence. Plenty of Scots have played for England schools. It just depends on where you go to school."

I will applaud him, because he is a great footballer,then give him and his team stick for 90 minutes, step forward anyone who has never made a mistake, turned his back on Wales, he retired to prolong his career, just like Bellers and many others, and yes he is a Cardiff boy just like any one else who was lucky to be born in this great capital :malky:

Giggs had quite a lot of injuries when he was in his prime :?
