• 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 most horrendous fashion item ever created.
As an old fart living in southern Spain for yonks, what in the name of San Miguel is a dry robe?🤷

A garment designed for individuals who do open water swimming, surfing etc

Somehow it became fashionable to wear miles from water amongst community rugby clubs and valley commandos

Well, you learn something everyday 😃
 
Awful and happens every week without people there to record it

FAW are drowning in it at the moment with no clue as to how to stop it. Its endemic
It's terrible. I have involvement with junior football that will becoming competitive next season.
Its concerning some of the things that go on with parents and coaches at the current age group, next season could crank up a few notches.
 
I’ve watched junior football for decades since my nephews were kids. The absolute worst part about it is and always has been the parents (and some of the less reputable coaches). And some clubs are awful and either actively encourage that kind of ā€œparental inputā€ or at least do nothing to discourage it.
 
I’ve got to stick up for the chavs here, you don’t see them wearing dry robes, they are black North Face puffer wearers. The dry robe is the choice of the football / rugby / school run mothers and their kids.

It would be nigh on impossible for a chav to get up to their no good wearing those tent like things.

And how can you boot someone in the head with crocs on ffs.
 
Is this a modern phenomenon?
A load of us in our WhatsApp group can’t recall anything like this happening in the 80s and 90s.
Players may scrap but parents would calm it down.

Well one dry robe wearing thug has just made the WOL with a video of him throwing punches at an under 14 game.

Not only as he made the nigh on impossible possible, he has made onto the Welsh main stream media 🤣

Goes to show that the phrase Chav is probably unfairly targeted incorrectly and stereotypically at youngsters rather than the brash and coarse behaviour that seems to be spread across a lot of age group these days.

You get parents now encouraging the kids and praising them for scrapping these days.
Society is losing its way, badly.
 
Embarrassing. No doubt a few of our more vocal forum members involved there. Most likely either the dry robe wanker or those he left on their arses.

I can assure you that no one in that video posts on this forum.
