Bellamy should retire from international football...

Thu Aug 16, 2012 12:37 pm

...after the abuse he suffered from the small minded nationalists last night.

He represents his country at the Olympic Games, has a great tournament and as soon as he turns up for a meaningless friendly against a unglamorous side he gets abuse from some Welsh fans for playing for Team GB.

What a massive disrespect. He has done his stint, he has more than paid his international dues. After all that he gets abused. Time to retire.

I have to say I will not be going to anymore Welsh internationals. I never thought I'd say that. If I do go it would be to see the oppositon.

My reasons?

That nationalistic abuse of Bellamy

the "Welsh not British" signs that appear at Wales matches sometimes

Coleman's consideration of Ryan Shawcross.

the fact I have spent so much money on purchasing a "tournament" season ticket and I get a seat on the opposite side of the stadium away from the tunnel side at the back of the stand.

The country is bigger than one man. They risked the future of welsh football by going to the Olympics, some people are angry about that.

Or is the real reason because he now plays for us. Wonder if you would've said the same thing if he was playing for Liverpool this season.

I think the underperformance of the national team is more of a risk to Welsh football. I think the standard of the Welsh Premier League is more of a risk and the thrashings they regularly get in Europe. I think TNS playing in Shropshire is more of a risk.

Others don't, which is why they are angry.
