Chris Coleman - National Anthem

Wed Mar 27, 2013 2:58 pm

I have criticised Coleman in the past for picking Ashley Williams as captain as he's not welsh, but fair play to Williams, he gives his all and also has a go at singing our national anthem, which is more than can be said for the majority of the other players.
But the one thing that peed me right off last night was seeing Coleman singing the wrong words to his and our countries national anthem.
As manager of his country he should set an example to all, and out of respect he should know the words and sing them with pride!

I am not Williams' biggest fan, but i can't lie watching him last night he showed passion and fully deserved to be captain last night

The point I am making is that OUR national team manager does not know the words to OUR national anthem.
I would be saying the same if Dai from Cardiff was Wales manager and did not know the words.
Its a disgrace! :malky:

Really I thought we got beat, and also beat a very poor Scottish team, just because he is one of your doesn't make him a good manager. :malky: :malky:

I didn't say we won, we played well. Have you been watching the last few games or what? Our team is a pride to our nation at the moment and just because he's a Jack you can't support him as our manager.

I could tell he was singing the wrong words too. So was Bellamy against Scotland, you could clearly see him singing "BLAD, BLAD pleidiol wyf i'm blad" :laughing6:

Not that it really bothers me, at least they were trying bless em.

Personally I have absolutely nothing against Chris Coleman, and I'm not sure why so many have such a downer on the bloke. He did take over the job under very difficult circumstances, and I think people forget, he was a good friend of Gary Speed's so must have been hurt more than the average fan about what happened.

Good luck to him, he our manager at the end of the day he wants us to succeed as much as we do.

I don't think Coleman is that bad. He did wonders at Fulham and was never given time elsewhere!
I personally think he's the right man for the squad at the moment. I'd like to see him be given a bit of time to see what he can do with a talented bunch. I think he could be the stepping stone Wales need to gain momentum to beak into the top 30! :malky:
