• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler

    The Ospreys

    I did notice that two of the local MP's have got stuck in to the debate but Tonia Antoniazzi (Gower MP) has kept deathly silent. No coincidence she is on the board of the Scarlets. Tonia you represent Gower constituents where there are a large number of people who are rugby oriented and live...

    The Ospreys

    Yes. To me simple. If they want a super region then that would have been Cardiff and Newport area as that it actually East. Swansea area is certainly South centraly speaking and Llanelli is really part of the greater Swansea area but this is Rugby and tribalism exists so they are West as there...

    I think they have just killed rugby in Wales.

    Senedd election

    I think the best way forward is just to highlight, in short statements, how bad Reform are. They may, ultimately, just end up being another form of the Conservative party. The defections could possibly give them more of a presentable, professional party.

    Senedd election

    Reform had an election promise that they would freeze council tax in England. Reform in 4 out of 5 councils won, raised it by the maximum allowed of 5% and the other raised it by 3.99%. The reality is plain.

    I had an awful feeling it was going the way the Coventry game went. Well done Vigs, Fulton and especially Yalcouhe. I think the 5 players were all booked taking him out of the game. That is 15 points from 21. A much healthier bag of results and excellent pressing and great defensive work from...

    I hope this makes sense. His cynical fouls are far more cynical these days.

    Ospreys

    Too many committed to the ruck is a big problem at elite rugby but that has to be a coaching issue and not the number of regions. Surely the WRU should look at ways of better funding 4 regions and concentrating money at the grass roots and not over inflated salaries for those "decision making"...

    So, so unlucky to be behind. What is the point of corners when you can have a throw in like that. Good finish though

    I thought we would be lucky or OK to get a point. As it turned out we should have had a point.

    Eom

    Recently I was disappointed when I saw his name on the starting sheet but his last two games have been way above par - so much that I was also disappointed when he was subbed against pompey. No idea what the future holds but his game has been so much better in the last week

    Pego summed up my thoughts. What was bizarre was that there was some kind of expectant atmosphere/buzz that we would score when Vip came on.

    The Ospreys

    Why can't our AM's and MP's get involved and outvote those members of the WRU as there are other things at stake. I was in Llanelli today and the ones I spoke to don't seem bothered that the Ospreys could fold. The Swansea boy in me wants them to fold at that point.

    The Ospreys

    All in all, once again it is quite upsetting that another city (because that is the crux) is deciding to end first class rugby in Swansea. Imagine if it was the other way around and a bunch of people in Swansea with some rugby knowledge deiced to axe the blues in favour of keeping all the other...

    The Ospreys

    That said, If the Ospreys could play in the English set up then I would be far more eager to watch the games as the play at St Helens and closer to a lot of us West Swansea folk.

    The Ospreys

    I understand your point although the attendance picture isn't quite that. Apart from the last couple of years the average attendance of the Blues and the Ospreys was quite similar and going back ten years the average was a couple more thousand in favour of the Ospreys. The Dragons have had an...

    The Ospreys

    Gareth was born in Gwaun Cae Gurwen which is more Amman Valley but he went to school in Pontardawe. What are the chances that two of the best scrum half's that the British Lions have had went to the same school. Look at Trebanos and how many internationals came from there or live there. That...

    Vitor on the problem of his coaches.

    Yes, the OBR (remember them) estimated a reduction in GDP of 4% while some estimates are, as highlighted as high as 8%. Bloomberg have analysis showing over £100 million worse off each year. This one is the one that hits the pocket. The average Briton was nearly £2,000 worse off in 2023 as a...
