    If he had a choice, he'd obviously play for his own country.
    You know why we lost to Denmark tonight? I'll tell you why! Coz super Captain Ash wasn't on the pitch! What do you have to say to that?

    I'm still in Copenhagen, sorry for the delay!

    Unfortunately I don't have time to respond to you all individually, apologies for that.

    I am glad to report though, that the views of some on this MB, aren't the views of the majority of Welsh fans out here.

    They want Welshmen playing for Wales, not English rejects!

    Have some pride in your country.

    Are these the same welsh fans that were singing Hal Robson-Kanu's name on Thursday and Sunday? Are these the same fans that lost their absolute marbles like I did when Vokes scored vs Belgium in Lille. Or are you just telling pork pies. How boring are you that you go round asking this question every Wales game? I suppose you don't rate Brooks or Ampadu?

    Anyone that puts that shirt on and wears it with pride deserves nothing but respect and support. Ash is the best captain we've ever had and possibly ever will have. He's always turned up, he always gives his all and he cares, which is more than can be said for some of our welsh born players in the Toshack era.

    During the Toshack years half our squad pulled out with "injuries". When did Ash do that?

    In them days managers called the shots, these days it's players and their agents.
    It's really that simple.

    People trying to compare Williams with other 'dual' national players, are really getting confused.

    Some of these players have come through the Welsh schoolboy and junior section, and nearly all have one Welsh parent.

    If you want a fair comparison, then compare Williams with Ryan Shawcross and Ben Turner. Both have the same eligibility as him, i.e one grandparent, but both politely declined as they were more English, and didn't want to deprive Welsh players of caps.

    The fact that Williams accepted tells you all you need to know about the guy, and his ego.

    Eh? If manager’s called the shots why were half the squad pulling out with injuries? Who has been more committed to Wales? Welsh born Ryan Giggs or English born Ashley Williams? Did you celebrate when HRK scored our second v Belgium in the Euro quarter final btw?

    I know a few thousand Everton and Stoke fans would have a right chuckle at that!
