John Toshack saved Welsh Football & gave it a future! Posts are my views only. RT not always an endorsement. I'm back on the referee circuit!

Sometimes we have to accept and acknowledge when our opponents were the better side and deserved their win. That was the case today. But I am still proud. Still here.

I’m too emotional to even think about a tweet that does that justice. What a time to be Welsh! What a time for Welsh Football. To be honest, I’m so emotional about it all. 🏴⚽️

Bala has to be one of the most lovely High Streets around. There is so much variety. So much quality. Very friendly. Visitors made very welcome. 2 Local Butchers. The Welsh Language widely spoken. (1)
I was critical of Daniel James in a tweet earlier today. Tonight his pace alone demonstrated why defenders on the international scene do not like facing him.
Prior to Kick Off last night, Thierry Henry embraced Aaron Ramsey near the tunnel. After the game he did the same with Ethan Ampadu and Daniel James. It was lovely to see. Mr Henry recognises world class and he knows that Wales is a

Was VAR in operation this evening? That is a clear and obvious error. I saw the referee listening into his earpiece but at least one person has told me that VAR was not available. That would explain a lot.
What a terrific addition to the squad. He looked very good when he came on. He joins the squad with pride that is off the scale. He is loved already!
@htafc
should know that lots in Wales will now wish them well!
Next week's massive game against Armenia kicks off next Saturday at 2pm our time. I am amazed and saddened to see so many grassroot fixtures in Wales scheduled to KO at the same time. Everyone in Welsh Football should be behind our First Team of national players.
I am one of the 14 & I have my first official game as a referee in 17 years tomorrow afternoon. I will do my best. I will make mistakes. But it will be a proud moment for me as being a referee is a very important contribution to the game. I urge others to do this excellent course
Opinion: Ashley Williams is English and shouldn’t have ever been Wales captain. If he doesn’t like playing in Cardiff he should’ve left the Wales squad a long time ago. The team would’ve been better off. If it wasn’t for CCFC fans Wales would have empty stadiums
Chris Mepham was superb for Bournemouth today as they beat Leicester 1-0 to pick up a crucial 3 points as they bid to avoid relegation.
Brooks, Moore and Ward (Leicester) unused subs.

I’m in a pub and barely anyone watching. Same pub bouncing and chocker for the 6 Nations. I do not get it.
Of course, we love any player that wears our shirt but there are some players that there is something especially endearing about. Ben Cabango is one of those. Every time I listen to him, I find it uplifting. A warrior on the pitch and kind off it. Crying watching him on S4C now.
I accept without reservation that it was a poor performance yesterday but I do think that it has been forgotten that Armenia are a good side. Neither Croatia or Turkey found them easy. I would not want to draw them again. There are no easy games on the international scene.
Why not?
(1) The vast majority of core fans say

FAW in discussions with WRU about possible return of Wales games to the Principality Stadium.
Nothing imminent, but new FAW CEO Noel Mooney said: "We'll speak to the WRU late next week. Absolutely we're in discussions with them. It's something we could well do. Why not?"
My last evening here in Doha and I am so going to miss it (though I realise I am very fortunate). A young local kid approached my friend and I at Al Wakra Metro just to say: "Gareth Bale" 😭

@BuzzBoncath
If we learn from history, after this tournament the question must be what rebuilding is required? I don't know the answer. I'm sitting in the stadium now disappointed but what a journey the last 18 years have been. I look forward to the next 18.

#WALAUS
we have a good number of squad players on really good form. Dan James, Brennan Johnson, Tom Lawrence, Harry Wilson, Neco Williams, Ben Cabango. Connor made a recent impressive comeback. How about game time for Rodon, Bale & Ramsey? All deserve it!
I just left the arcade in the Mall of Split. A group of young lads wanted to (1) tell me that Hadjuk Split is the greatest side (2) say "Gareth Bale". No human in my lifetime has put Wales on the global map as much as him.
Bale was not match fit against Belarus. All other players were and all will be tonight. If Ramsey delivers a similar performance to the one out in Brussels in 2013, we are in with a shout. I did not realise 1 week ago that tonight would be so important.

In terms of atmosphere, I've referred to games at the CCS being up there with the best in world sport. In that context, I thought the atmosphere was relatively flat this evening.
What a night! Another

The minority who are negative about Ash or make an issue out of his place of birth, watch his "it's fine" moment in the 86th minute and try and tell me you do not see one of the proudest players ever to wear the Wales shirt!!!

will it be the 1st time that 2 Welsh Speakers appear together for the club? Gwion Edwards didnt make it on the field in 2012 against Liverpool & Joe left before Ben D’s debut. Cornell did not appear with any of the above.
In 10-15 years time, Rodon will be seen as one of, if not 'the', greatest defenders in the history of Welsh Football. An incredibly special talent. Lets see if Tottenham start to see it soon.

The response generally needs to be firmer and quicker. But why is your priority, as a Fulham supporter, not to be critical of the disgraceful behaviour of your player and manager?

Been online loads today. I logged onto the UEFA site this evening and stared at the screen rather than click on the refund button. I am putting my head in the sand for 24 more hours. Anyone else going through the same thing?
My father in law would have been 80 today. When I 1st met him in 1997 in London, he told me about a previous visit in the 60s when, hungry, nobody would sell him something to eat. A Welsh taxi driver fetched something for him. That taxi driver did Wales proud that night. 🏴🇯🇲

We did have a big European name manage Wales. He shared his vision with Brian Flynn in Verdi’s, Mumbles in 2004. They both believed we had to increase the pool of players available to us, revolutionise player development and move to Possession based football.

No dispute that the ball moves. The question for me is whether the action of player 1 represents a kick of the ball. In my view the corner was not taken in accordance with law 17.

Just like that, Arsenal are down to 10-men!
Gabriel Martinelli picks up two yellow cards in quick succession and Michael Oliver gives him his marching orders 🟥
Taking what I am seeing on the Cymru App at Face Value, there are approximately 300 fixtures that overlap with the Armenia game. That is around 5,000 players, Match Officials, Team Officials and Spectators not supporting our boys at home or in clubs/pubs. So sad 😢
Next week's massive game against Armenia kicks off next Saturday at 2pm our time. I am amazed and saddened to see so many grassroot fixtures in Wales scheduled to KO at the same time. Everyone in Welsh Football should be behind our First Team of national players.
In the 2013-14 season I called
@robphillipshere
on
#callrob
to say how poor Swansea were at the CCS. Swansea won the return fixture 3-0. But today is arguably the most dominant Swansea performance in a Welsh Derby that I can recall in my lifetime especially away from home.
I think I can see 3 individual seats for sale for the Turkey game (probably gone by the time I post this). Let's get a 1-0 out in Yerevan and what another CCS night we could be in store for.
