Do not applaud Ryan Giggs, why?

Funny how times of change...

Many can't find in their hearts to applaud a WELSH player born in CARDIFF and one who has performed at the highest level for 20+ years?????? And yet when we were still a struggling club with low attendances, an English player Peter Beardsley was greatly applauded and many gave him a standing ovation when he played at Ninian park for Hartlepool in 98/99....

CAn't work that one out...I was one of the many who applauded Peter Beardsley and would be applauding Giggs if I was at the game (but working away)...

Applaud or don't applaud but dont make out the guy has done nothing for Wales - just look at how many people he inspired to work hard (Gareth Bale to name one!!)

We have no reason to applaud Giggs. He is a football and Manchester United legend but he is not a Wales legend and he has no connection to CCFC at all.

Not a Welsh legend, he carries some Welsh sides on his own, whilst getting kicked to death at times. If the most decorated Welshman isn't a Welsh legend, then God help.who.is,

Yes but that does not take away that he's a legend. He's probably one of the most highly decorated players in any of the top Euro leagues.

After carrying wales in alot of games. Being the only class in a red shirt, being mile ahead in his head and in skill of his team mates he is most definitely a Welsh legend. From those I watched he's up with Southall, rush, speed and Hughes.

After giving them 60 odd caps.

Did bellers turn his back on wales? Highs had given over 10 years to wales, can't ask for much more, when the games meant something he was there.

We all slate friendlies as pointless, so can't blame him for having a break when everyone says that players need a mid season break

I would & will applaud Giggs simply to recognise the fact he has excelled at the very top of his profession for over 20 years.
The fact that he is Welsh and I got to see him & support him means He definitely gets a warm welcome from me.
Would love to have seen more of him for Wales but that's History now just like he will be when the game starts

he doesnt give a shit about cardiff city so why would we be applauding an opposition player? i reckon theres secret man utd love going on. while im at it i bet theres a few secret man utd fans in the home stands sunday

Completely agree, I wonder how many of "our" fans will cheer if Man Utd score? Guaranteed there will be a good few cheers in the home end.

It's not idiotic though is it? Giggs would have probably got 100 caps if he played the majority of games. He only played for us when he felt like and his performances consisted of a little run down the wing, a lot of foot wavering followed by a poor cross. Obviously he actually tried for Man Utd and that's why he's been the player he has at club level for the past 20 plus years, although you could argue being in the best team surrounded by good players made him look better than we think he is?

I hope he will have a good reception, he is a legend in the game and will be coming to our ground.

Turned his back on Wales yet played over 50 games. He never really turned his back on Wales did he? If he did he wouldn't have played a game and chose a different country to play for.

Hes the 11th most capped welsh player of all time but turned his back in his country

Lets be fair he played in awful generation of Hartson, Savage, Craig Morgan, Steve Evans,etc etc ffs. He is not a miracle worker.

Turning his back is implying something like he could of played for Wales but chose a different country.

At least he turned up and did so with over 50 games. That is respectable and good enough for me.

The bloke should be ashamed of his lack of commitment to his country of birth.

Your defence of Giggs in comparison to your opinion of Ashley Williams who plays even when injured is remarkable.

How do you know it was his choice to duck a few friendlies here and there? for all we know fergie could of had a lot to do with why he didn't play a few friendlies, people are going on like he played once for wales and then said f**k that!

I was quite young but for a few years I was aware of it becoming a constant theme but doesn't bother me, his choice.

So his choice of ducking out of friendlies for 7 years and then only deciding to participate in home friendlies is perfectly acceptable? It may not bother you, but it bothered me. I will only applaud people who are proud to represent our country!

How do you know it was his choice to duck a few friendlies here and there? for all we know fergie could of had a lot to do with why he didn't play a few friendlies, people are going on like he played once for wales and then said f**k that! He was obviously proud to play for wales otherwise he wouldn't have over 60 caps.

I was wondering when this excuse would crop up. Fergie being blamed for Giggs not being allowed to play friendlies for Wales!

Well no-one knows except him so there's no point acting like you know what he was thinking cause you obviously don't .. WAW he missed a few friendlies, get over it. i hope every welsh fan applauds him!
