Without even wanting to be controversial do you not accept that AT LAST this is an opportunity for the likes of Giggs and Bellamy to have a chance of competing in a major International tournament finals. There have been MANY world class Welsh players who have never had this opportunity which is a crying shame.I for one don't blame them for putting their names in the hat. GOOD LUCK TO THEM.

Bit selfish isnt it? You should respect the players wishes. This may be their only chance of playing on the international world stage

Don't know why they don't just call the team England like they do in the Cricket, there's no jocks in this GB team.

If i was good enough to be best in the World at an olympic sport??

I dunno. I cannot imagine standing there, NUMERO UNO... yet I cant
even see my own flag raised or sing my own national anthem. Thats
me. No problem with Britain, being British anything anyone wants to
do is fine by me.

But i cannot ever picture myself standing ramrod straight singing
God Save the Queen. Personally like.

Yep. definitely.

Id count myself as Welsh, and British. But feel no affinity to that flag at all.
Have no feelings either way about the queen, but have never seen her as
mine. I've never ever sung that song, cant imagine i ever will

But I thought when Wales play they have the Welsh anthem so if the team is made up of English AND Welsh players then it would be wrong to play God Save the Queen. :?

Can't have it both ways! These selfish players are endangering our independence as a footballing nation. Asian and African countries would just love to get rid of 4 home nation votes and have one. Wake up or by the time you do we might not have a national team in Wales.

Re: #NoTeamGB - Let our Welsh players know how we feel.

Unfortunately GSTQueen is the national anthem of Britain. It should not be played for England . They have not got one officially. :lol:

Platini has stated numerous times that we wont be endangered. And anyway the FAW and SFA have on numerous times shown they are against it and its insteasd the players choice. Grow up

Up until now we have always been a proud independent footballing nation, unlike like the egg men and their lions. Now selfish players have decided to go against the advice the FAW on this. We don't do 'Britain' in football never have never should.

The Euros are over. No more football until the pre-season friendlies start. Olympic football is not serious. Bale injured ?? :lol: Likely story :lol: He's our one world-class player, and he does not fancy 'risking' it, whatever he said in the past. Says it all.
