    I did write a long story about tonight. the atmosphere, the game, the players etc but deleted it by accident so im not going through it again lol

    basically called neil over, asked him for a pic. he agreed. he is pure passion ,his eyes are fierce with rage and he such an intense person. exactly why he is my hero. amazing moment.

    also thank you to all the celts who attented Legoland (cardiff city stadium to non-swansea fans) tonight and sang Swansea songs all night./

    i cant imagine a better night in my life...Celtic won, Met Lenny and Sang Swansea songs to bitter Cardiff fans. amazing

    usual Celtic songs

    then "swansea swansea swansea", "swansea, premier league, swansea swanasea premier league", "jack army" and an overabundance of John Hartson songs. Brilliant.

    i wouldnt say the Jack Army was a chant by all the fans, more like random screams from random people, who i would assume are local south welsh people who are celtic fans. also there was one big guy who spend most of the game juist doiong the Swim Away, he also must be south welsh based to know of that

    It's supposedly about Swansea fans chasing Cardiff fans into the sea after some clash. The Swansea fans do a breast stroke gesture whilst singing 'Swim Away'. I also witnessed Wrexham fans doing it once to Cardiff but chuff knows what stretch of water that was all about as Wrexham is landlocked :84:

    Yes, Swansea fans chased Cardiff fans into Swansea Bay after chasing them and the water was the only way the cardiff fans could have escaped a beating (allegedly, based on what ive been told and read i may add before any cardiff fans come and dispute this).

    As a result, the Swim Away is a Swansea chant to * off Cardiff fans and it seems to always work. They do the "ayatollah" where they slap their heads which equally * off Swans fans.

    There was a funny incident at the swans-cardiff derby game a few years back where a man in his 70's turned up in a Borat Mankini, completr with swimming goggles and arm bands. mad *.
