Goodbye Euro 2008

International football Wales

comment on the article

Yet again another major championship disappears due to another poor performance on our part

Poor tactics and poor finishing yet again contribute to our downfall

Can see the 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign being Giggsy's last

Totally inexcusable performance today

The dark days are beckoning again for Welsh football

I'm getting a bit bored of hearing Toshack moaning that he lost experienced players when he took over, yet there's 3 or 4 experienced players he could choose but won't because of the size of his ego so decides to pick league 1 & 2 players instead under the guise of "building a team for the future" the man's a berk!

I think people should lay off Tosh. The problem is that because of his last spell in the job (just one game) he is already walking a tightrope with the fans. We have seen a lot of promising players come through under Tosh , all it needs is to let them lose. I think we will see a more positive attacking approach from Wales from here on. I say give Tosh a fair crack and we will see the benefits of what he has done with this young team.

Let's also remember that the victory over the Germans was in 2002 (I think, anyway).

Yeah, goodbye Euro 2008. We have no chance. But it's not the end of the world, you idiots. What's Toshack meant to do? Roll over like a dog and let those players he's argued with back into the team? It's just as much their fault as it is their own. Let's not forget that.

Even at the start of this qualifying group, third place would have been looked at as a creditable achievement. Third place would raise our FIFA ranking, which would mean that we wouldn't be in such a hard group next time. Or does that not register in your heads?

Let's get behind the team. Third is a realistic goal for a country of our size - Would Cup 2010 should be our aim, and until we reach a point where we can not realistically qualify for that tournament, let's get behind the manager, and the team.

Because frankly, I was more embarrassed by the turnout last Wednesday against San Marino (11'000 in a 72'500 seater stadium) than the performance against Ireland. It's a disgrace to think that we can fill a stadium for a friendly against Brazil, but can't even fill 25% in a competitive match which we can win.

Welsh football may well be a dark spot at the moment - but when we reach a point where we can't fill our own stadium, we're in trouble. Show some pride for frick's sake, you guys are a disgrace. Cymru Ymlaen!

Um in the Welsh league has anyone heard of Marc Lloyd Williams he has scored over 300 golas in his carear and I think shouldve got a Wales try years ago.

Jiws has had quite a few attempts at the English league system, but he's always come back (eventually) to Bangor.
At his best ( 93-95) , one of the best finishers ever seen at Farrar Road. Eifion Williams has never had a look in either , and he's had quite a good league career. There was a Bangor lad called Matthew? Tipton around a few years ago.What happend to him ?

The crowd at the San Marino game was nearly 19,000, so why do you keeping saying it was 11,000. Get your facts right !

Well, I'm sorry. But that makes it all better does it? Pillock. 11'000 was the originally published number, so you get YOUR facts right before opening your mouth.

Mwy na tebyg, dwyt ti ddim yn gallu siarad yr iaith, so cae dy geg.
