WELSHING

Fri Jun 27, 2014 9:47 am

I suspect like many on here, I hate the term "Welshing" which implies that we don't honour our bets. However a large number of us ( the vast majority I'm sure) were quite happy for a certain person to fork out millions on transfer fees and wages for new players in exchange for a different colour strip. Now however, it seems a lot of people want to renege ( or "Welsh" if you prefer) on the deal. There are a few, I accept, who wanted no part of it even to the extent that they would have preferred the alternative of liquidation without the said person's involvement. There are even others who want the owner to buy more players and get lost at the same time. Nevertheless, most of us truly justifying our reputation as "Welshers".

You forget a certain debt to equity promise that hasn't been delivered.... The more he "welches" on that, the negative attitudes will grow. :thumbup:

Presumably you were born in 1986, hence your lack of debating skills. Bring back the grammar schools.

It's been done to death and a good reason suggested for why he hasn't done so 100% yet.

But always pick out the negative.

Cling to it like a man clinging for life on a cliff edge..there have been suggestions and reasons given for why it hasn't all been converted though, so not as straightforward as your millionth negative jibe.

Let's have it out then..

Few calls of multi since I joined.

Am I being accused of having a second account?

Or do you think I'm someone that's been a member before and been banned?

It's easier not to give it any attention as it's no big deal..but it's not going to go away so may as well discuss it and give it unwarranted attention :sleepy2:

Colourblind, if you joined this site hoping for sensibly debate on such topics then you are going to be disappointed.

I too hate the term 'welshing' so in this instance I prefer to use the term 'lack of integrity'. I think that that applies well here. In many cases 'lack of intelligence' also applies. It shows itself very quickly when posters revert to name calling. I am afraid that you will have to get used to it given your views.

Yeah it does. The words (and surnames) are inter-twinned in the US. Walsh,Welsh,Welch etc. It does come from Welsh.

Fri Jun 27, 2014 1:53 pm

What year do you have to be born in to appoint yourself as a representative of people you've never met?

Which fans bet money against each other relevant to Tan's dealings at the club, and then refused to pay up?

What a load of drivel.
