Punch up, not down. 👍 Barry Town nostalgia and whimsy. Seven-time champions of Wales. Six-time Welsh Cup winners. European adventurers.

Happy New Year, everyone! 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of our landmark Welsh Cup Final win over Cardiff City in Cardiff. It also marks the 25th anniversary of our milestone Premier Cup Final win over Wrexham in Wrexham. More to follow on both in 2024... #EmbraceYourHistory

no one tells you how hard it is to rewire your brain to allow amazing things to happen after experiencing so much trauma or pain. blessings exist, good people exist, and a softer life exists, let it happen.

INEOS & Glazers have sacked #Amorim, not because of poor performances on the pitch (of which there have been many) but because he said some critical things about them Leaders more interested in their corporate reputation than performance will always fail

No manager since Ferguson has gotten Manchester United to feel like the “real” United like Ole Gunnar Solskjær did. Get him back for another round And this time: don’t interfere with his plans by forcing him to use a player that doesn’t fit with his style

Make or break moment for Wales.🏴🏴 May 2026 could mark 100 years of Plaid Cymru and the first opportunity for a Plaid-led Welsh Government free from interference by other parties. This is a historic moment for Welsh politics. I genuinely believe that if we push just a little

Most people haven't realized it, but AI-led reputational harm is on the rise. Unlike search engines (where you can create an alert for your name), there is no way to control how AI will summarize or make up information about you. That's what unregulated AI looks like...

Last year, the self-imposed need for a January 'split' plunged the Cymru Premier into chaos. Has anything been learned in the year since? Or are the same issues going to play up again this week? They are, aren't they? It's freezing.
Ditch the split. Artificial excitement. Too confusing for the layman. Just play a league. It's worked for 150 years.

Wouldn't it make so much more sense if everyone job shared and worked six months on, six months off? Make the money, then go off and enjoy it, safe in the knowledge there's work to come back to? Or is that too sensible for Britain? #BackToWork

Appoint a former Manchester United player. And stick with them. #MUFC
INEOS should have sacked Ten Hag after the 2024 FA Cup final and Amorim after the 2025 Europa League final. They have damaged two consecutive seasons with their indecision. They have a chance to finally get it right now but this track record does not inspire much confidence.

Can't believe Russia is parading a captured president of another country for the world to gawk it. Wait, it's not Russia, it's the United States of America.
