REPORT: So Sad, The Wrexham A.F.C. Head Coach has been Issued A…

Wrexham star claims he is constantly subjected to racist and anti-Welsh remarks and that nothing is ever done about it.

The 25-year-old Jordan Davies of Wrexham claims that he and his teammates would be “playing in front of no fans for three years” if fans were barred from games each time he was called a “sheep s*****r.” Davies claims that he is constantly subjected to racist, anti-Welsh taunts while on the field, but that no action is ever taken to punish those responsible.

Davies made the statements in light of a Wrexham fan being fined and banned from football matches for three years after calling opposition supporters “filthy English b******s”.

During Wrexham’s game against Tranmere Rovers on March 16, Red Dragons supporter Daniel Thomas Monk acknowledged committing a racially aggravated public order offense. The newspaper claims that the 21-year-old branded the opposing fans “filthy Scouse b******s” during the court hearing.

Welsh football supporters disagree with the decision, believing that anti-Welsh abuse occurs frequently and is not dealt with equally or severely. Monk, of Moss Valley Brow, New Broughton, was banned from attending football games for three years.

In order to highlight the difference, Davies himself took to X and suggested that criticism of Welsh players does not receive the same level of attention, with most of the remarks going unanswered.

“If I reported getting called a sheep s*****r every time it happened, we’d be playing in front of no fans for 3 years,” he wrote, adding a shrugging emoji.

Fans have praised the midfielder for speaking out on the issue, telling him that he had “hit the nail on the head”. One wrote: “Absolute credit to Jordan for this,” while another added: “Brilliant to see a player calling it out”. A third wrote: “Absolute credit for saying it as it is.”

Fellow Wrexham star, Ireland international James McClean, has previously spoken out about how he suffered “more abuse than any other player” during his time playing in England but very little is said or done about it. A refusal to wear a poppy on his shirt near Remembrance Sunday, which he explained would be offensive to those from his home city of Derry, the scene of the Bloody Sunday massacre in 1972, has seen him targeted with sectarian abuse throughout his career.
