It's embarrassing, we have plenty of decent Welsh players, Bale, Ramsey, Ledley, Davies, Allen, Collins etc. all playing at a decent level.

I don't rate Williams as a player, or a man (his off field activities have been well publicised), and I resent the fact that he's not good enough for his own country, but is happy to play for another, even though it means he's taking the place of a true Welshman in the team. It was for this reason that Ben Turner declined the offer to play for Wales, even though he's every bit as "Welsh" as Ashley Williams.

So its bitter you are then.

You're blaming Williams for FIFA's actions when setting the criteria of eligibility for international players.

You (and your family ) seem to be in the minority regarding our Ash, doesn't stop you boring the fuk out of everyone

How did you feel when, born in Zimbabwe, Robert Earnshaw played for Wales? I was always glad he was "Welsh". But not as glad as I was that he didn't start the game against us in the play off's because when he came on he put the frighteners up us.

They probably don't care about football clubs chairmen changing kit colours, football clubs ripping off local businesses, football players robbing handbags, and English footballers displaying a defaced Welsh flag at a game either!

Maybe Coleman is just doing it to wind you up. h

Keep up your campaign mush, sure Ash will retire in about 2 years you can say it was worth getting yourself all bothered about it then

You'd be surprised how many people care about the Wales football team being captained by an Englishman.

I haven't met anyone who cares about that. I know a few who don't rate him but nobody who thinks a player needs two Welsh parents to qualify for Wales. It hasn't been like that for a very long time.

I wonder what Grangetown Bore would have made of Vinnie Jones playing for WALES.

You are right-the vast majority have no issue with it!

And those who don't care? I'm hopefully boring them to tears!

Williams doesn't have one Welsh parent, and was rejected by his own country.

As far as Leighton James goes, he was one hell of a winger - part of the great Swans side that were promoted to the top level in 1981. His rants at our current wingers in the Swans side are spot on. They are not getting the crosses in that wingers are supposed to provide for centre forwards. Hallelujah! Amen to that.

Welshmen for Wales See you in Israel x
