Gabby Logan half Welsh really ?

Fri Jul 06, 2018 7:06 pm

She is so sickenly sycophantic when interview Ingerland's players and manager, it's hard to believe she's half Welsh and indeed represented Wales at rhythmic gymnastics at the Commonwealth Games.

At least good old Jason Mohammed got a Wales Euros plug in during his interview with Phillipe Albert.

Her dad is Terry Yorath, and she did represent Wales in the Commonwealth Games, so her Welsh credentials are sound. Perhaps she doesn't feel the need to shout about it. She's part of the team covering England at the World Cup, and doing a good job. Don't see a problem here.

She's English in all ways except her dad's heritage. Born in Leeds and never lived here.

I'll forgive her this.

Well if she was born in England's she's f*cking English, it's as simple as that.

She has said before she supports Wales though. Maybe England are her second team.

The point being Logan has NEVER lived in Wales. She is as much English, if not more, than Welsh.

She has a right to support England as much as Wales.

Although I was quite critical in my original post, I don't dislike her as a presenter, she's very professional and personable.

However during her World Cup interviews, she's like a gauche teenager, which only enhances my dislike of the Ingerland media hype.

The Belgium backup staff are also Welsh, worked with Martinez when he was manager at Swansea, his assistant is Graham Jones. Hope you’ll all be backing Belgium Jacks?

Almost half our team were born in England for god sake. Her father was captain and manager of Wales and she represented Wales at the Commonwealth games so her Welsh credentials are a lot stronger than Woodburn, Brookes, Vokes etc.

And she's English, you can tell that by her accent on TV.

You can't expect someone born and bred in a country not to support the national team.

These threads are getting embarrassing.

Just looking for anyway possible to knock them because they are having a successful tournament for a change.

According to Wikipedia she also supports Newcastle. As many people say on here, if you support an English team you should be supporting England in this WC.

My girls were born in England yet one has chosen Wales as the culture she wants to be.

If you are looking for criteria well besides having a Welsh father she followed the national team across France for the Euros and took a lot of stick from her classmates. Thats more than most Welsh who live in their secular Wales area surrounded by their own.

I agree mate. I'm supporting Sweden today but I'm not bothered by Welsh people cheering on England.

There's more important things in life.
