    Of course it was intentional.
    Lucky there was a video ref to pick it up....Oh, wait

    Agreed with your assessment about the ref and thug football.

    Interesting thought about sitting back and trying to hit them on the break, giving more of a stalemate. We know we prefer playing teams that will have a go at us so we can hit them with pace, but when we have to break down a brick wall we struggle as we haven't quite got enough quality. I'm not sure Ireland would have decided to have a go at us for prolonged periods, their game plan involved us pushing forward. Had we decided to do the same, it could have made for a boring stalemate and little action, with neither side committing much in attack.

    No point blaming individuals , we knew how they would play and we didn't do enough to win on the night, personally don't think Ireland deserved the win but took the one chance that came their way and like in the semi final of the Euros last year , once Wales fell behind didn't gave the guile or ability to get a goal !

    Re: Hennessy to blame

    I agree, no point dwelling but Hennessey was definitely at fault there. Time for Danny Ward to have a good go in a few friendlies now for me.

    Yep and even after the goal he put Ramsey under similar pressure just outside our own box. I was shouting at him to punt the ball downfield just before he rolled the ball to Williams. He needs to be dropped.

    Not hennesey fault we were playing the ball short all the time because didn't have a target. When you are doing it everytime you have to expect pressure and Williams is there because he can deal with the ball.

    Most of the time we retained the ball well . We were just unlucky they took their one chance

    Ward is Liverpool's third choice keeper until he gets regular first team football he cannot be considered Wales's no 1!

    Re: Hennessy to blame

    Last night wasn’t the reason we failed to qualify. It was conceding an 85th minute equaliser at home, and a 73rd minute equaliser away against Serbia, conceding a 57th minute equaliser home to Georgia and not beating Austria away after leading twice. Anyone who thought we’d qualify after 5 draws was living in cloud cuckoo land. To be fair, 5 draws is NOT qualifying form, and if it was someone else we’d be saying they didn’t deserve to go through.
    Anyway, on the bright side, anyone who wants a ticket for the next qualifiers will be able to get them. (How many British Lions Tops were there in the ground yesterday?)

    Why do we need to blame individual players? Totally against what's done us so well the last 4 years. We are still doing well for such a small nation and will hopefully get a decent group for Euro qualification.

    It was stupid but why did Williams momentarily stop trying? He just went to sleep and stopped. And by the time he woke up again, it was too late.

    We gave them that goal. And what was worse, as that Ireland are a rubbish team - really poor.

    Shame on us for not being able to beat them.

    On his day he is good enough to play for any side in the world. On last nights performance he wouldn't get into the Cardiff side.

    A draw in Serbia was a decent result so saying that 'conceding a 73rd minute' over there is just plain stupid.

    Re: Hennessy to blame

    What is so disappointing is the goal we conceded. Four players were at fault. Hennessey for rolling it out to Williams who had to wait for the ball to arrive by which time Hendricks was on him. He had to be quicker with his clearance. However with Davies close by the two of them should have dealt with it. Davies loses the tackle and unforgivably for a full back doesn’t chase back. Williams is also too slow to respond. The ball gets crossed and McClean is unmarked and scores. Why was no-one tracking back?

    I cannot get my head around it. They should have been fighting and chasing everything yet concede like that.

    Wouldn't have missed it for the world mate.

    Just sour grapes, nothing over the top, unlike the Taylor tackle in the first game

    Re: Hennessy to blame

    The order of blame:

    1. COLEMAN
    2. Williams (he has been overrated his whole career - even when he wasn't a professional)
    3. Ramsey (snooze control until we were 0-1 down, you wouldn't see Bale act this way)

    But wait no Hennesay? no...because he is just playing at his shit level. Williams had a conscious decision to make when he decided to try and play it cool.

    There were a number of players who could have made different decisions last night or done better.
    Undoubtedly 'together stronger' is a great motto, albeit it hasn't worked so well this tournament.
    Why do I blame Hennessy?
    Because we were doing ok. We didn't look like scoring nor did we look like conceding. A draw would have been enough.
    And then with the ball in his hands and under no pressure to release it he threw it it to Williams who was immediately under pressure. Yes he should have done better. The mitigating factor being that it looked as if it would roll out of play and it didn't.
    Hennessy put his own defence under pressure when there was no need to.
    The result being a goal that turned the game.
    That's why I blame him.
    Yes, Lawrence's free kick was abysmal, as was Ramsey's. They should have done better but they didn't plan to to do badly.
    Hennessy, dwelt, he looked around him and then threw the ball to a player under pressure on the edge of his area. I for one was shouting don't do it. He did.
    That's why I blame him.

    I was shouting don’t do it too. Just one thing though. A draw was not enough. We had to win to make the play offs.

    Re: Hennessy to blame

    Ashley Williams is no stranger to making a massive hash of a small bit of pressure mind you.

    Who else remembers this little beauty?
