    See that Gunter is captain on his record-breaking appearance.

    A run out for the youngsters. There’s plenty of empty seats there!

    He reminds me of the ref against Yugoslavia at Ninian Park in 1976.....

    Poor result from a poor performance in a match controlled by a poor referee.

    Yes the ref was poor and there should not have been that penalty. Wales were woeful, we did not look like creating anything. Our fears on Giggs.............

    Giggs Your useless, What an embarresing result....I know you are not up to management status but come on that was another defeat you should be ashamed of....Go and learn how to manage in non league somewhere and try again when you can master the basics.....You have sent us tumbling down the rankins after the superb work Coleman did building us up......Quit man....

    A bit harsh but more than some truth in it. It was a bit naive to make eight changes and the players selected thought it was going to be easy. After Wales dominated and squandered chances in the first half the controversial penalty revitalised a poor Kosovo side and Wales were on the back foot. Five defeats in nine games since Giggs took over and the knives are being sharpened.
    Albania’s second win in nine games this year, and they had just lost to Scotland 0-4 on the same ground three days previously.

    Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane have left their roles at FAI - by mutual consent, allegedly....

    Ryan Giggs for me is simply NOT the man for the Welsh job (I hope I am proved wrong), This is one of the most talented group of youngsters wales have ever had. I just believe Giggs is not the man to move them forward, Lacks charisma, believe he is tactically poor and just not the man for the job. as I have said before we are a nice side, but under Giggs far to easy to beat.

    For some like myself, never wanted him in the first place and always saw it as a bad appointment. My knives have been sharpened since day 1 and only getting sharper with the way he is performing in the job.

    Its very similar to Toshacks last reign, where he brought on a lot of youngsters, but didn't get the results. I'm sure that once he gets a settled team the results will come <ok>
