Comment. The author of this piece is a Cornishman who has served and who has medals. Yes, Cornwall may have lost at Twickenham in the rugby match against Lancashire, 36 to 26 points, but they lost with pride and dignity and with the wonderful outpouring of National pride by the Trelawnys Army of Cornish supporters, with good humoured and gentlemanly sportsmanship shown between and by one and all. So we say, well done our boys, well done Cornwall, we are proud of you. Kernow bys vyken! Compare our Cornish National game with that of Englands. Their game with its tacky paraphernalia, ill tempered and overpaid players, commercially over financed hype and utterly tasteless support by the English media, one newspaper even stooping so low as to deliver a Get Well Slowly card to the Uruguayan embassy in London in respect of a top class but injured footballer from that country, Luis Suarez. With many now heartily sick of hearing of 1966 and inappropriate references to Englands military victories against just about every country, it can be hardly surprising that many turn their back with disgust and an increasing number of Cornish people support other teams from rather more humble countries. thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/5644261/The-Sun-tries-to-deliver-Get-Well-Slowly-card-to-Luis-Suarez.html
