Remember that from last year?
Could be well worth remembering it again today.
We win together, we lose together - As a team and not as individuals.
#TogetherStronger
Croesy I am not going to get in an argument with you but take a look at the goal. For the life of me I cannot understand why each and every player wasn’t busting a gut. Look at the players we have produced over the past 30 odd years. Compare them with Northern Ireland, Iceland, Scotland and Ireland. Why have we continually failed to qualify in that time yet all these others have?
Scotland haven’t qualified for a World Cup since 1990. When they were qualifying in the late 70s through to 1990 they had world class players such as Souness, Dalglish, Hansen.etc and had far more depth to their squads than we ever did / currently have.
Yes we’ve come up short a few times but it’s not like we’ve ever had a complete squad of players. Even this current squad is clearly lacking in quality in certain positions.
I agree that emotions are running high and yes, we win together we lose together. Some comments probably have been a bit ott but I don’t see a problem in highlighting those areas of the squad where we’re a bit week or discussing why we think we lost or even those players who underperformed.
It’s a football message board for goodness sake it’s not like we’re outside the team hotel with torches and pitchforks.
Neither Scotland or Northern Ireland have done anything for the last 30 years?!? No more than us.
We got to a semi final of a major tournament and we’ve qualified for a World Cup play off slbeit we lost but so could Northern Ireland lose theirs.
The NI team that qualified for 82 and 86 had some good players. Whiteside, O Neill, Armstrong, Jennings, Mcllory. Golden generation.
Hmm thought the 82/86 Norn Irish sides had plenty of journeymen. Whiteside was decent,Donaghy,Armstrong,Hamilton were ok but they had few top flight regulars in their squad. When you think of the players we have produced it’s very frustrating.
Bale will have one more chance of making the World Cup finals. I felt very sorry for Ashley Williams. He looked visibly upset last night and will never play in a World Cup finals.
There’s better Welsh players than him who never achieved that. I’d feel more sorry for likes of Rushy, Sparky and Big Nev. At least Ash went to a major finals.
We’ve produced some good players but not that many top, top players imo. We’ve never had a strong enough squad imo weve always had to compliment the top players with average joes. 1994 was probably our strongest squad and we were a penalty kick from reaching the finals.
We didn’t play well enough this campaign, we struggled with injuries or suspensions to key players and just don’t have the strength in depth to back up when the key ones are injured or struggling with form.
The problem I have with that is that Norn Ireland have had far less strength in depth than we have but are on the verge of a third World Cup finals in 36 years. Of course the likes of Rush,Hughes,Saunders, Giggs, Ratcliffe, Southall and Toshack are more deserving of sympathy because they never made it to a major finals. A great shame.
Ramsey WAS poor, at least by his own high standards.
I don’t see that as slating him tbh
There have been a lot of posts last night and today picking out individual players. Far too many, in my opinion. We are a team, as
one.
