It happens, get carried away in the occasion. That was a great couple of days and nights in Toulouse!
Had an early train to Nice the following day, that was a rough journey but worth it.

But it's hardly involuntary, it's by design. You know at a certain point that you've had enough, but you make the decision to carry on nevertheless until you're absolutely steaming drunk. It's not by accident over a period of many hours.

That story Chris Coleman tells about how Chris Gunter told him to relax and enjoy the game says it all about that match - we could have beaten Portugal with Ramsey and Davies available.

The perfect performance. A great day.

Re: 7 years ago today

What was nice with that day was being in the square in Toulouse. Welsh everywhere. Russians trundle in to the square and things looked a little terse for a few minutes, not knowing which way the mood would sing. Welsh fans (unlike if it was England) from the pub we were in on the corner of the square went over and bought them a round of vodka. They shook hands and bought a round back. None of us could understand that they were saying but they made the effort to enjoy what we all had in common and could understand - a good appreciation for a round of drinks.

We were behind the goal half way up and "Don't take me home, please don't take me home..." was being hammered out that day.

Could Gunter be a Welsh manager of the future?

Re: 7 years ago today

We beat Russia 3 - 0 and at the time I said it was the best Welsh performance I had ever seen ( little did I know Belgium were just around the corner )

Rambo was on fire :wales::wales::wales:

Is Beef still around?. We almost got intimate during that game

Re: 7 years ago today

Just watched "Don't take me home". Never made it to the Euros. Still at work then. What a superb watch. Hair raising. Literally. And may have brought a tear to the eye. Happy, happy days.
Best quote from that programme. "Don't xxxxing pass the ball Christopher"!
