Giggs was alright back in the day overated IMO, and his legacy tarnished by shagging his brothers wife and this chump is managing the national side - BEHAVE



Should gone to some of the Wales game there then ! Romanian game atmosphere most intense in my 40yrs watching football Italy germany fantastic atmosphere only in bad days of Welsh football was it crap but it is whenever stadium half full just like ccs is , and not sure why you and others relate to rugby when it's a football crowd ? Guess by your attitude to Welsh team you would like a combined UK only team? :old:



As I've said elsewhere, Wales is never going to be able to compete at the level of big footballing countries for purely demographic reasons, but it's a regrettable consequence of this that various great and world class players such as Gareth Bale never get to play at the top international level and big numbers of British football fans ( cause it's true for other two small home nations too) never get represented in the World Cup. Therefore ,and I expect it'll be controversial, but I've always thought a UK team would be better.

Demographic reasons haven’t prevented Croatia, Denmark or Sweden competing at international level, all with populations around 5m.



but it probably would prevent them if they were a 1/3 rd smaller and had another sport attracting 70k plus attendances..
so many young boys in this country are really decent at both sports and play both for a while but eventually have to choose....they don't all choose football

Fair point mate.



The other issue being is young players are not being snapped up by clubs either, I know of an 18yo GK with caps for Wales U19’s who is only playing local football, if he’s good enough to be selected for Wales then surely he’s good enough to be picked up by a football club :!: seems the scouts don’t go to local club matches anymore or if they do it’s few and far between

Best goal ever that against Belgium and you cannot be a serious Welsh person if you disagree with that.

Disagree.

What, mine ?
Can't see how you can say that. What you mean is that you personally disagree with it, which doesn't make it poor.
In fact the existence of four separate home teams is due to a bit of gerrymandering in the first place so we'd have four votes on early versions of Fifa. It's nonsense though because we are in fact one country and personally I think there are quite enough divisive deceptions inflicted upon the British people already.
If you buy into this divide and rule trick and you're happy to duplicate the number of politicians in each home nation, and pay the costs of that, well that's your affair, but please don't say that my point of view is "poor" without attempting to justify that rather strong statement.



Lost for words mate to be honest.

the IFAB was set up purely to standardise the laws of the game in our country 8 years before FIFA even existed.. there was no gerrymandering to have 4 votes in something that did not even exist and was FIFA that decided to adopt OUR rules and the body that had made them.

what any of that has to do with MPs and divide and conquer god knows.
