Lets not forget that usless lino also missed Adam standing offside when he received the pass that led to the dissalowed goal. ) these things even them selves out LOL
We may have been the better team in the possession stakes, but in the final third we were pants, and had it not been for Bale's individual brilliance, no way would we have deserved to have won that game, not even going to get started with our defence! I'm all for supporting Wales, but for far too long the wrong decisions have been made by the inept FAW, and crap managers, as an example, how the hell was LB Rickets sitting out that match! I'm not going to get carried away with this current setup, We only beat Scotland by a questionable penalty and a wrongly disallowed goal, Scotland are pretty poor, so don't get carried away lads, Croatia, will not be so forgiving, I see Coleman is already trying to influence the Ref over Bale, oh and did I mention our next three games are away games!!................
And of course the penalty decision we didn't get when Davies was rugby tackled in the area and the glaring miss from Morison...... it's easy to focus on the negatives innit ?
And just to highlight my point again the dissalowed goal that should never of had the chance of being scored in the first place as Adam was off side when passed to.
Well you might say it's negative, I like to think I'm being realistic, as it seems many Wales fans expectations of beating Croatia are rather high now, with regard to that rugby tackle yes it was a blatant penalty, did the Ref see it? yet another poor decision if he did, and there were other calls for free kicks that went begging, which showed how poor the officials really were. I prefer to look at the bigger picture though, and that is we have been poor at this National game for far to long, and when we get kicked back, out comes the usual crap, that we are a small nation of 3 Million, Bla, Bla, Bla! The fact is Uruguay are a small nation of 3.3 Million, ranked 7th, Croatia are a small nation of 4.4 Million ranked 11th, Denmark are a small nation of 5.5 Million ranked 18th, and I could go on! Poor little Wales can't win anything because they are a small nation? ranked 57, and why? not because we are a small nation, that's just Bollacks, it's because the FAW has for far too long squandered there stewardship of this great game in Wales, so that we are down to a coca cola man running the show here in Wales, with a choice of manager most fans can see was an inept appointment once again, and legacy of Speed trampled into the ground by the clowns we have running the show here in Wales. I can be positive, when you give me something to be positive about! speak to you after the game, let's hope we win and if I've got it all wrong, I'll be the first to admit it, I was Wrong!....................
With other countries such as Uruguay and their small population, football is the most popular sport by far. In Wales, Rugby also takes up a big percentage of people of sporting age/ability, so it's not as clear cut as quoting the 3 million population. That number becomes quite small when you break it down ( how many are men, how many are the right age, how many are interested in football, how many have the ability etc ?). Anyway I don't think that many are expecting Wales to do anything other than get beaten tonight, but I'm not writing us off totally before a ball has been kicked. Croatia only managed a 1- 0 home win against Macedonia. I just don't think they are as good as some are anticipating.
Well Stereo, I rate Croatia from what I've seen of them these last few years, not even England and Germany like coming up against them, Lets hope they have an off day. Regarding Wales last game, the one plus I saw in that game, was that the players had fight in them, which had been missing in previous games, that said, we don't seem to travel well of late, and where shocking against Serbia, who couldn't believe what a pushover we were, anyway hope Ricketts gets a game tonight, Coleman should realise that he has got a good few Prem Seasons under his belt, and that his experience needs to be on the field, not on the bench!.................
Thought it was 2-1 away ? I'll check now.... Yes 1-0 at home on Sept 7. Here's a link to their last 11 results. They have won 4 of their last 11 games, 2 of which are Macedonia. The other 2 victories are against Estonia and Ireland. Defeats at home to Sweden, Spain and Switzerland. They obviously can't deal with teams beginning with 'S' which is good news for the Scots. Not exactly overpowering statistics though. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/team/fixtures/_/id/477/croatia?cc=5739
Ashley Feckin' Williams yet again. I've had a total gutsful of him now. I know the pitch is crap, but so is he with his backpasses.
getting slaughtered here...we may get a lucky break but its all croatia.....please drop ash on saturday as i would rather give someone else a chance, He is over weight and a liability. I could not care who takes his place but they have to be better than him at the moment.....
Pretty much how I thought it would be! Feel sorry for Bale, he deserves a better team, as for our defence, utter crap! Must be common knowledge now amongst the other international dressing rooms, that the Welsh whipping boys, don't travel well!.... Gunter = Crap Williams = Crap Vokes = Crap Coleman = Crap on the Crap! Played 6 Lost 5.................... Wake up Wales and smell the coffee, we don't have a team worthy of our support, utter crap, just like the FAW, Coleman OUT, Coca Cola man OUT, FAW Hangers on OUT! ........
just 24% possession and 3 shots on target against 20 for Croatia......Mumbles rangers could have put on a better performance......ash as captain my arse.....wait for the excuses tomorrow.....
Dai, Williams has gone from Hero to Zero, really worried now about him in our back line, has he put on weight?......................
