Do I want to renew my season ticket after this? Oh! Dear. Poor Neil Warnock. Perhaps it’s time he retired. Not only did he fail to inspire and guide his team for their critical performance against Huddersfield, leading perhaps to their worst performance all season, but then he’s takes his anger out on everyone else. He manages a team in a city that voted 60% to Remain, but even more importantly a team that contains players with Spanish, Gabonese, French and Ivorian, Canadian, Danish, Icelandic and Filipino origins or connections. And that’s leaving aside the owner, the chairman and the chief executive of his club. Equally, he seems to have no idea or care about how the British economy works, or how to protect the jobs of many in his fan base. It makes me wonder whether I want to renew my season ticket while he remains as manager. And I am being serious.

Woman told ‘stick to English’ after posting in Welsh in Facebook group
A woman claims she has been kicked out of a Facebook group because she posted in Welsh. Elan Dafydd wrote a reply in Welsh when a friend of hers asked for some advice on a weight-loss group. But she says they were then confronted by an admin member asking for them to "keep to English". The 28-year-old, from Aberystwyth, who joined the group around a year ago, said she was shocked at the response. She said the friends have known each other since childhood and have always spoken Welsh with one another. Elan argued that she should be allowed to comment to her friend in Welsh and would be happy to provide a translation for anyone wanting to be involved in the conversation. But another member of the admin team insisted that "no one should have to ask for a translation" and suggested that if they want to speak in Welsh they should do so in a private message. Ms Dafydd told NorthWalesLive: "My friend and I have never spoken in English to each other, always Welsh. "I commented on the post … [Read more...] about Woman told ‘stick to English’ after posting in Welsh in Facebook group
