I watched Faroe Islands v Latvia just for a footie fix just now. Wasn’t actually too bad and they had a few fans there aswell banging a drum which was exciting!!
I cant watch the stuff , for clubs like us it hurts as we don't have the depth of squad to compensate for injuries and recovery.
Couldn't agree more.Quote:

Quite a few of the most memorable games I’ve attended have involved Wales.
But you keep on popping up in threads about international football :biggrin:Quote:

Me neither; club comes first always. These breaks piss me off big time.Quote:

But with us not being able to attend games anyway now I do feel a bit lost on weekends. I'm not a big watcher of football on the telly anyway, so if I can't go to a game it doesn't feel as important to me whether it's the City or Wales.
I probably won't watch this afternoon but make the most of it being fine and try and get a few holes of golf in.
17/18 was great and I enjoyed the second half of 16/17, but, by and large, the truly memorable football games I've seen a side I've been supporting involved in for the past five or six years have tended to involve Wales more than City and this season I'm definitely into Wales more than City so far.
Yes best not to waste the day I might attack the garden got the last of my trees to chainsaw down .Quote:

I like both and don’t see a need to prioritise. When I depart from this mortal coil I’d have to say that the top couple of games I will savour the most will have probably involved Wales.
Like many a city fan I look back with great fondness on that Sunday afternoon when we knocked Leeds off their perch all those years ago. But compared to that game against Belgium at the euros... I watched the former with my old man as a teenager, the latter I took a call from him with us both in tears at the end of the game. Ultimately that sums it up for me. Doesn’t mean I have to give up either.
But fairplay I’ve watched enough dross in between both with the city and Wales!
I have no problem with international tournaments and with the old format of midweek qualifying matches. It's the two-week gap in all club competitions that I can't stand.
