All the commo was in welsh and then they did a Julio Gordio moment....."lots of welsh..clean through...lots of welsh". Made I laugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much the Welsh that I can almost / barely / sort of speak. There's obviously a Welsh version of 'what a goal!' or 'the ref has no male parent at home'. But in the heat of the moment, it's a mix n mash. It's partly done as it's a relaxed informal programme done live with minimal thinking time. It's partly done because sometimes the commentators aren't utterly 100% fluent first language types. It's partly done to keep people like me in the loop. I'm guessing the commentator last night was probably Dylan Ebz, and that's pretty much how he speaks 'in real life' as it were, popping in and out of welsh / english / welsh. If the creative hub were still doing the programme, the next one would be something riffing on We've got a fuzzbox and we're gonna use it. But fusebox, not fuzzbox. They'll miss us.

One of those early songs, was a direct rip of a Real People song (I forget which), it was settled out of court and part of the deal was the Real People were given the support slot on a tour. Liam did acknowledge the RP connection, sort of last year or the year before The Real People had quite a big role in the Definitely Maybe anniversary DVD talking about the early demos, I think they only got writing credit for Rockin Chair. I dont think there is any cloaks and daggers about it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted February 10, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 10, 2019 They definitely had a credit for Rockin’ chair by 1998, because it’s on The Masterplan b-sides compilation as Gallagher/Griffiths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted February 11, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11, 2019 I've never been one to leave a match before the final whistle. But a VT match thread is a different matter. I bailed from the Sheffield United thread on 80 minutes, and until a couple of minutes ago, I assumed the final score was 0-3. Just discovered it was 3-all! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(16 hours ago obviously ) Dunno, really, but when we've lost badly (as I assumed we had) I tend to be in a foul mood and avoid even thinking about football, let alone look stuff up.

(sounds a bit like the surname of the presenter of Play school / another word for a ladies nether regions I don't know the video, but depending on your accent, yeah, can sound the same. But when I'm on a Bangor City messageboard, I'd usually write / spell that word with an 'o' not the 'a' that sounds like a 'u'. Bangor City are the original hundred club.

PriceyDownunder Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 As many ex-pats / migrants will agree, hearing the name of our club in some far flung parts is quite the rarity, especially with our current league status. So I got quite the thrill when this question popped up in our weekly pub trivia comp. last night. Needless to say, our team were the only ones with the correct answer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted February 15, 2019 Moderator Share Posted February 15, 2019 I appear to have messed up my timings at work. I've cleared my desk for the week with an hour to spare. Sure I have projects I could do some work on but it's 4pm on a Friday, I think we shall call this last hour "research" which most definitely be a euphemism for trawling the net for shits and giggles 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
