Watched the Jon whathisface docu on Wales's qualifications and tournament in Euro16 last night.
Excellent programme, brought all the memories back and great footage of the players camaraderie, nice bits on Gary Speed too.

That's mad, we just posted alternative games at same timeOriginally Posted by the other bob wilson
Ima gonna watch the england game me.
Never watched it all before
Ian Wright rated Hal Robson-Kanu's goal against Belgium at ninth out of the ten nominations for tournament moments on Match of the Day yesterday, while Alan Shearer put it ninth. Gary Lineker then mentioned the video of the Welsh players cheering when Iceland beat England and then they showed it - I expected some slagging off of Wales after that, but all three of them said they were alright with it.

What is that documentary? Is there a link?
Gary Speed what a tragedy
I just realised it’s ‘Don’t Take Me Home’.. I have the DVD 😂
Not surprised they said they were alright with it. Got their own back by putting HRK goal just ninth!
That Ronaldo header against us in the semi though. Unbelievable.
Shearer put the Robson-Kanu goal fourth, not ninth as I said, and, fair play, I remember him and Rio Ferdinand I think it was being almost as excited as we were after the match.
It was, the height he got and the way he hung there, incredible but Sam Vokes’ header against Belgium was also outstanding, a near post flick across the the goal to nigh on the far post, superb technique.
Every time I see reference to that match (I saw elsewhere today reference to Belgium being perhaps Welsh football's finest moment) it brings back the bitterness of having missed it all by getting stuck at f***ing Folkestone Eurotunnel terminal. Ended up watching it on TV and my recollection is the same as yours.
They were alright with it, no criticism at all. They even stated, Wright in particular, that Simeone and the other Argentinians reaction to Beckham’s petulant flick was an ‘all’s fair in love & war’ type of thing and something they’d condone England doing in the heat of battle. Although picking Maradona’s first goal as their number one I’d have liked to have heard a similar opinion, even though they didn’t go ‘Tabloid’ crazy over it. I’ve always thought what the headlines in the likes of The Sun would have been had, say, Gascoigne, did something similar, ‘Gazza Hands It To ‘Em’... ‘Gotcha! With A Sucker Punch’. It did smack of a few token top ten inclusions last night, Robson-Kanu, Armstrong, Gemmill.
I've go a lot of time for Rio.
Oh dear!
(don't mean to laugh, it's just the way you put it)
I got quite emotional last night watching that Vokes goal.
Technically perfect.
Oh dear!
(don't mean to laugh, it's just the way you put it)It's ok. The pain has lessened over time. Until I'm reminded.....
One of my good english friends texted me and said that was exactly what was missing from england dressing room
I watched the match; jumped out of my seat when Wales scored completely forgetting it was played 4 years ago. Doh.
What a beautiful stadium that was in Bordeaux.
That weekend I saw Iron Maiden in Paris on the Friday, Wales v Slovakia in Bordeaux on Saturday and back to Paris to see Rammstein on the Sunday.
That’s a cracking weekend. Was due to see Rammstein in Cardiff with my son this month.
Watched the second half of the Slovakia game today and how well we played. Aside from ten rocky minutes after they scored we were clearly the better side. I had forgotten how many chances Rambo missed.
Don't expect a decent game of football because technically it was abysmal. I won't tell you the score because I don't want to spoil it for you !
I always thought that we'd scraped past them, didn't realise how in control we were. We bossed them in the first half and should have gone in 2-0 up (How Skrtel stayed on the pitch after assaulting Jonny is beyond me)
Me too. Tickets valid for the re-arranged date next summer. I hope they keep the Euro's around the same dates so I can do both Rammstein and Italy v Wales (as was planned for this month)
I remember at the time fuming he hadn’t seen red. We would have been 2-0 up with Slovakia down to ten.
