http://www.thisissouthwales.co.uk/story-19903090-detail/story.html?#axzz2h76SwaXL It should always be an honour to play for your country and to Captain it even more so , but this news may come with mixed emotions for some , myself , I'm glad he's out if only to regain full fitness , although he was named sub for the Southampton game so I wonder why he's pulled out now .
These 2 games are pointless for Wales so why risk any injury to players, look at the names that have pulled out says it all really, Taylor needs to be up to match fitness so the games will do him good.
Yes it is an honour to play for your country, but if the likes of Bale etc can pull out because of injuries, then so can Ash. It will do him the world of good to rest and recuperate back in Swansea, so he's fit and rearing to go against Sunderland.
Excellent news. No sense in risking him with nothing to play for other than pride and ranking points, and as they're issued by FIFA they're probably rigged anyway

He's in a lose, lose situation. Swans and Kairdiff are in the Prem so no one cares about Wales playing non-qualifying football matches any more. The players don't want to play so Wales field weakened teams - and he'll get sacked. If I was him I would forget a new contract and get back to League football, at any level.
The Idiots at the FAW should have kept Speeds assistant coach on as manager for Wales! Raymond Verheijen has more ability in his little finger, than Coleman does in his entire useless body! We will get hammered this international break............
Its a sad indictment of the current Welsh set up that many of us will be more interested in the Spanish game with Michu playing (me included). Not so many years ago, the FAW could sit pretty counting the coffers in the knowledge that Welsh football fans would have to watch the International game to ever see the top players. We now have better players and better football in our clubs, so the FAW have nothing currently to sell apart from mediocrity. The FAW needs to seriously buck up their ideas, or it is in danger of dissappearing up their own backsides into obscurity with neither players or fans turning up.
So much for the preposterous idea that 2 teams in the Prem would be "good for Welsh football". Many here said so as did the Redbirds. Never bought that and never will. Not now, not ever. Just so we're clear.
