How many times are we going to hear, "Wales looked tired but it's no excuse."


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

I agree and the people who say it forget the payers are professionals on £1,000's per week and Bale on £100,000's. I can't think of any occupation where you turn and don't do your job because you're too tired.

You can be paid as much as you want but when you’re traipsing across Europe, to different time zones and climates without a proper base, it will take its toll. Particularly when you factor in all the extra stress of Covid testing and additional rules.

Most of the key Welsh players missed large chunks of the season and aren’t fully fit - Bale, Ramsey, Allen - so they do have a point.

Agreed. Bit of a reality check for the Welsh, and could easily have been more than 4. It could be worse though, at least they aren’t Scotland…


How dare you! Scotland played in their final and won 0-0 didnt they?

I have never accepted not being fully fit. You can play (fit) or you can't (not fit). The travelling across Europe was known to the welsh before the tournament began so they should have prepared for it and all teams had the covid testing, not just them.

I was pleased to see them in the last 16 and they showed the Scots up. But alas they were not good enough against the rampant Danes.

Just thinking about where the linesman doesn’t raise the flag immediately for offside, allows the game to proceed for a few more seconds, but every now and again they raise it straight away, as the offside law is so simple nowadays could someone please enlighten me as to when it goes up and when it doesn’t?

Also watching Italy and Austria, with English ref Anthony Taylor, how come he’s allowing things to continue when players fall over, but in the premiership he blows for a foul every time?

Austria are actually giving Italy a game, who'd have thought it.
