• 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

Oh and that February day out is now a terrible experience. This year itā€™ll be full of English and Irish. Itā€™ll be like a home game for them.

This is the first time in decades that we haven't taken up our ticket allocation. Not paying as much for two matches as a (OAP) Swans season ticket to listen to sweet chariot all afternoon.
 
Of course it seems like that now, but I don't remember anyone suggesting Italy were ruining it over the last 25 years.

So, ignoring the usual hyperbolic Irish rugby hubris (we have as many grand slams in the last 20 years as they have in their poxy underperforming history), the other problem for us is it's a real vicious circle. Apart from England and Ireland (when they're winning) at home, we will not fill the stadium (even then it will be full of English and Irish) and so the useless WRU will become more and more skint. The golden goose was shot when Lewis decided that theatregoers were more important than rugby fans and Gatland's ego and Team Wales was infinitely more important than player development in the professional structure, while still funding Aberfuckwit RFC to pay 'amateur' players to play against the next village with a ringfenced 11 million.

As to the Irish team. They must be damaging the World Cup then because the bottling bombastic bollock brains have never got past the quarter final.

Yeah, I haven't been for years. Even when we were winning games it wasn't a lot of fun with the people around me (drunken dickheads who wouldn't recognise a rugby ball from a blancmange). To endure that while being humped with a bunch of braying Tarquins and Posh nuPaddies would be too much.

In general I love the Irish, (most) English and Scots, but I detest their rugby cultures now. It's not what it was (well it is in England, they've always been c***s) but the others used to be good fun. Not now.

Cheer up, Monny. The Swans are kicking off in just over half an hour.

Just another 5 minutes would have been interesting, Ireland dropped off at 27-10 which isn't like them, I thought they would have been hunting down another try at least.

I stopped watching. Thought it was in the bag. I wanted both to lose. Both will mangle us.
