the Mail are running a story on Bellamy not being too friendly and being seen as a bully with English players in the Cardiff academy

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...h-bully-claims.html?__twitter_impression=true

Some parts of the article:

Craig Bellamy has been accused of bullying and intimidating a young English footballer with xenophobic behaviour in his role as Cardiff City's Under 18s head coach.

It is alleged that the former Liverpool and Wales striker repeatedly made anti-English gestures or remarks, including the insult 'English *****'.

No way, a fine upstanding gentleman like Bellamy would never do that.

Seriously though if proven he should be in a lot of trouble.

What is an anti-English gesture?

This was the next para in the article. Wonder if they are referring to this?

"During a pre-season tour of Italy, it is claimed, he turned off the sound when God Save The Queen was played as the squad watched the World Cup on television."

Not the more recent refusing to allow the players to watch the Queens speech?

You make a symbol like a swastika with your hand but when you shine a light on it, it casts a shadow that looks like Bellamy chasing the queen with a golf club.

He's a cnut, but you've always got banter between the English and the Welsh, lost count the amount of times I've been called a sheep shagger.

Bellamy though, is just the type of wanker that'd take it too far and actually hate the English, and having position of authority over youngsters should make you curb any of that talk.

Again, he's a cnut.

What this man said. When I was living in Wales there was always a good deal of banter between the Welsh and English at uni but there was the occasional fool who would take it too far, especially during rugby days, but nothing too serious. However, Bellamy is an absolute scrote who should not be in a position of authority.

I’m not brilliant at other languages but I’m pretty sure the title says “Bellamy got fingered?”

Don't do yourself down, Pexbo. You were actually very close. It means he got fisted.

I assume it’s banter amongst the team as I very much doubt Bellamy is the only coach taking the sessions. The Daily Mail is such a shit rag.

Bellamy comes across as a twat of the highest order. I remember the below quote from Hageland:

"During the handshakes before the game Bellamy took my hand, he was a head lower than me and he looked me straight in the eye and said "you fecking wanker". I was thinking what the hell, I've never even met you" Long story short he clattered him a few times during the game.

Don't give up, rage against the machine/mods.

(PS. I think he's an average pundit fwiw).
Not worth the effort. I can't see where the love in is for a player who played for City and Liverpool. I mean he is literally the epitome of the person we should least like. Then you add violent, bullying disgrace.

I don't see it. Maybe a few secret City/ Pool fans. Or some Judas types.

It’s just simple sledging, I played rugby at town youth level and heard much worse. The professional game doesn’t really have room for it anymore.

I can’t stand Bellamy but I love this.

Awful, awful anthem.

The best thing about Giggs getting the Wales-job, it got Bellamy really annoyed. He wanted that job so badly!

It’s still weird and symptomatic for a cnut like him, especially when factoring in that Hangeland is a true gentleman.

Seems one of the most hateful dislikeable characters of recent years.

But does a lot of proper solid charity work so not all bad. Different sides to someone and all that
