I spose the Taffs will want the Welsh anthem played at the olympics if any Sheep Sh@ggers win gold. It aint gonna happen (them winning OR their effing big fishes are whales anthem) so why should we have to put up with another anthem - other then the British - when they play in the FA Cup?
CR was quite correct ...Welsh when it suits them.
Oh Yeah, I'm a Pompey fan!
I think you will find that the only person who wants the Welsh National played at the FA Cup Final is the Welsh Sports Minister Rhodri Glyn Thomas. He has been roundly set upon by Cardiff City fans and most Welsh people with any common sense.
It is an English FA Final, so the British National Anthem should be played.
As for you comment about "Welsh when it suits them." How many times have we heard Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish sportsmen and women classed as British, but English are always English??!!! eg Colin Jackson, Jamie Baulch, Ewan Roberts and Andy Murray to name but a few.
As a Welshman myself, I do not expect to hear my National Anthem played at the final. It will be good enough when Cardiff take one of "your" european places.
