Thought overall it was a decent showing, undone by refereeing incompetence.
Call Rob an absolute embarrassment tonight
Page ex team mates and Rob defending him to the hilt. Get ****ed.
Iran are a good side according to Iwan Roberts. Dearie me.
Nation.cymru says we have to play three teams in the play offsQuote:

Connor Roberts had a horrendous two games and Page subs Wilson for James.......batshit crazy, manic Dan the 10
Not only has Lucy Owen told us we don't qualify for automatic promotion before the news ......she's gone and done it again 20 minutes later , just nowQuote:

Sorry Rob but it doesn’t because we only took 1 v Turkey, hence we finished 3rd.
PAGE OUT
BBC Wales asking Rob Page if he believes he's the man for the job to take Wales into the play offs
He answers, understandably in my view with ...of course I am !
I expect fans phoning up the radio stations to have their say but I expect better from BBC Wales , it stinks of a public hanging in my opinion
You don't seriously think we should change the manager now do you ?Quote:

One eyed Sludgey. Before that question Phillips, Blake and Roberts were defending him and swatting away callers who rang to make some very valid points about the whole campaign. Roberts defending his mate was up there up with Nadine Dorres staunch defence of anything critical of her beloved Boris it was that sickly.Quote:

The guy has been gifted the job and frankly botched it.Quote:

Let’s go back to Denmark in the last Euros, our fortunate qualification for the World Cup and how the whole team seemed unfit and lacking ideas during the World Cup.
This campaign has been shocking though.
His decisions against Armenia were beyond awful. Let’s not forget that we lost at home against them as well.
I certainly think someone more tactically astute would have seen us qualify.
Chris Coleman, fell on his sword after the home defeat against Ireland.
Page should do the same.
Make Nathan Jones or Dai Hunt manager for all I care
(I would like to see Bellamy or someone with a good track record obviously).
Anyone is a better option than Page, we will regress massively under him if we stick with him.
Anyone who thinks there should be a change now is worse than clueless.Quote:

The FAW are skintQuote:

That's far from guaranteed if we sack Page, either.Quote:

If Page somehow gets us through the playoff he'll stay. If he doesn't I can see him going under some mutual agreement, that he thinks he's taken the squad as far as he can. He'll get a negotiated settlement.
For financial reasons I can't see him being sacked and having his contract fully paid up.
I don't understand why though?Quote:

I think if Page loses in the play offs he goes. And it wouldn't be an unpopular decision, he's a pub league manager.
He’s talking bollocks, they have more funds now than they’ve ever had after the last 7 yrs of successQuote:

I've said it before, he appears a great bloke but far too nice and limited.

Definitely think a better manager could set us up better in certain matches and I'm not sure what qualified him getting the job longer term but I think play offs is ultimately where this team should be so he should see them out.
Our players last night,(against Turkey) looked as though they had met for the first time half hour before kick off !
Wrong runs, inter passing really poor, I thought they would really kick on after that Croatia display, but they seem to have gone backwards
This might have been asked and answered already but was VAR in operation last night?
It wouldn’t have made any difference due to Croatia winning, but with the ref’s decision making being so erratic, especially on the penalty decisions, I presumed that VAR would step in.
There was no evidence on VAR in the ground. Hence my question. :-/
I wondered the same thing. TOBWs report suggests it was but, like you, saw no evidence of it.Quote:

Was entertaining though, Turkey and the Ref both played the pantomime villain parts well.
Probably wouldn't be saying that though if the dropped points had made any difference though
I’m not necessarily backing Page to stay on after 2024 but your second and last sentence doesn’t seem to stack up.Quote:

Thought we made a supposedly good Turkish team look very average first half….no doubt they had to improve though, helped no end by their 12th man who waved away a few blatant penalties. Easily been 2 up at half time.Quote:
