Was I the only one hoping the Irish would send Will Grigg on even just for 5 minutes? Irish fans have been singing his name for weeks and not seen him play a minute

Quoted from Biccys


Errrr, yes... The fact that those teams were above us in the group stages, despite our best efforts, means that we may well struggle more against the teams that were beaten by the teams we aren't as good as............Probably.

Although that also might mean the Brexit vote means we have now developed a "Them vs Us" attitude, ya know, like Dunkirk an excrement, that we will now conquer Europe first and then...... THE WORLD.

Do I sound a bit dictatorial?


I think that's a far too simplistic way of looking at it. Wales may have finished above England but they're certainly not as good, look at the match between the two sides where Wales mustered two(?) shots. England struggled in the group because they're not good at breaking down sides that sit deep. Even then if we'd put more of our numerous chances away we should have come away with 9 points. In the knock out stages against better teams, we'd be unlikely to see them just sit back and wait for penalties and there'd be some space for the likes of Vardy to use. We beat a near enough full strength Germany side two months ago and Portugal even more recently yet you're saying we wouldn't do well against the likes of Switzerland, Poland and Hungary?!

Like watching a League 1 game.

Cracking cross by Bale for the goal though.


As good as that? I thought the standard was abysmal and the same with the Portugal/Croatia game. In fact the lowering of the standards by bringing more teams in is the most noticeable feature.

It's not hard for a coach to get 12 or so reasonable lads super fit and drilled to park a bus. Obvious tactic and the only way you are going to get anywhere. When you have half the sides in a tournament doing an international Braintree it just makes it a joke.

The Welsh & Irish fans have been great though.

Yeah I'd agree with that. It's all very nice and all that, but teams reaching the knockouts with 3 points out of 9 is a bit much (Portugal have reached the last 8 without winning a game in 90 minutes)

Good game so far between ROI and France. Couple of bookings which rule players out of the 1/4's which will help us should we get there!

Really hope Ireland can hold on!

Ref has spoilt the game, he's done his best to even it up after giving the Irish a nailed on pen. As for Townsend commentary what an utter tosser he is.

UEFA obviously had words with the ref at half time about France not being able to lose, Both goals came as a result of reffing errors. How else does what appears to be a good ref suddenly become so biased
