If there was to be a Celtic football side...
Northern Ireland losing tonight and with me hoping Ireland get absolutely hammered in their Play Off, got me thinking of a hypothetical all Celtic team if none of them made the WC.
Which of the Wales players would make it other than Bale, Ramsey, Allen, Davies and Williams? Or would only Bale or Ramsey be assured of a starting place in your opinion?
Would you put Hennessy in there? Or how about the ever present Gunter?
Then which NI, Scottish or Irish would make it? Snodgrass, Jonny Evans, Leigh Griffiths, Craig Gordon, Harry Arter perhaps?

Don't think many non-Welsh would get in there other than up front tbh.

I'll leave who plays to the rest of you, what I will guarantee is that Coleman wouldn't be the coach.

I think there would be more non Welsh than Welsh.
We are weak in defence, goalkeeper and striker

Re: If there was to be a Celtic football side...
ramsey allen ben davies bale
the rest from elsewhere i'd imagine?
we've got decent players in other positions but I think we overate them

Actually, I take that back, just tried to work out a team and there is a lot of crap out there in all teams.
I came up with a 4-2-3-1
Keeper Hennessy
RB Gunter
CB j Evans
CB a Williams
Lb Ben Davies
Cm Allen
Cm McCarthy
RaM bale
AMC Ramsey
Lam Brady
CF long
So I make that 7 Welsh, 3 republic of Ireland and 1 Northern Ireland, and we are still shit up front, at right back and at keeper.

Tierney looks a prospect but not ahead of Ben Davies who is already playing for one of the premier league big boys and having an excellent season.
Griffiths perhaps, if he can do it at a higher level.

Bale, Ramsey, Allen, Davies, Woodburn, Brooks & Ampadu!

Shane Long hasn't scored for about 30 games. You can't play Long. I'd play Davies in a back 5, with Tierney at LWB and drop Brady, and I'd probably play Griffiths up front, or Bale through the middle which I think will happen for Wales in a few years now the emergence of Brooks and Woodburn has happened.

Disappointingly, none of these teams are that much better than we currently are, and aside from Bale and on a good day Ramsey you could say the same for the other Celtic teams

Re: If there was to be a Celtic football side...
Apparently there's a Breton national team to, so do we throw them into the mix?
Jeremie Menez, Yann Kermogant and indeed one Adam Levine Fondre would be eligible.

Adam le Fondre FFS autocorrect

Yeah, go on, why the hell not.
It's just important people don't misunderstand it to mean 'Britain'.

None of the above would get in a Wales side, let alone a British team. Menez would have started 3/4 years ago but he's past his best now.

Those weren't serious suggestions.
Not too familiar with many of the names in the Breton national team, there may be some decent players in there.
When you consider the number of caps that Simon church seems to amass I think we would still be picking Menez

It does mean Britain really.
We'd have arguably more right to the name than the interlopers from Germany

Re: If there was to be a Celtic football side...
This is based off the current squads, its slim pickings to be honest
Hennessey (WAL)
Christie (ROI)
J.Evans (NIR)
A.Williams (WAL)
Davies (WAL)
Allen (WAL)
Davies (NIR)
Bale (WAL)
Ramsey (WAL)
Phillips (SCO)
Vokes (WAL)
I make it 7 Welshmen, Hennessey is the only debatable Welsh inclusion IMO, only reason he's in is because there is nobody else playing at a higher level

I'd debate vokes until I lost all moisture in my mouth from talking.
