That thought occurred to me - retirement from international football after the World Cup?
He's previously said he will play for Wales until he hangs his boots up.
Well in that case, I think Rob Page has got some tough decisions to make when it comes to selection and what he sees as his first choice team in the not too distant future.
Games are in March, June, Sept, Oct and Nov usually aren't they? He'll be coming off a long season for the back end but at least he'll have game time, and will be fresher for March and June. Still, I can't imagine it's ideal prep.
I must admit, even though I've not taken any of this seriously, I do feel gutted. All feels a bit flat now tbh.
Maybe time to change the thread title?
To Scott Johnson has stuffed it?
I hope he doesn't get abuse over it, he was obviously told something, but I don't trust our Twitter fans to be too civil on this one
I mean, he's trying to set up something on his own and has split from VFTN, so this is spectacularly bad timing on his part. I'd love to know what he was told and by who.

I imagine he was told it was close to happening, I really doubt what that Romano said is at all true, he's just regurgitating other reports, he definitely wouldn't know more than the likes of Abbandonato who are actually there talking to people. There were enough different people who would have sources at the club saying the same thing to suggest it was close to happening at some point. There were also enough people not connected with the club who were publicly pushing for it to happen to suggest it may have been close as well.
Bollocks to him. His post was a 'look at me, I'm in the know' bit of attention-seeking.
He'll get some attention now I should expect.
Bit harsh, he's not the only one who's done that kind of post over the past few weeksBollocks to him. His post was a 'look at me, I'm in the know' bit of attention-seeking.

How is it his fault if people choose to believe what he says , it’s not as if he is a club employee. He was advised by somebody and he has decided to post it.Bollocks to him. His post was a 'look at me, I'm in the know' bit of attention-seeking.

Perhaps he was given false information by the club ( to weed out people giving tip offs to other unofficial sources ) but it was hardly to gain anything from it financially or otherwise , unlike some.
Disappointing, and doesn't really fit with the checklist for his next club that Bale and his agent spelt out a few weeks ago.
But I'm well on the way to persuading myself we have dodged a bullet.
In an alternative universe we got Bale on a 2 year contract and he was constantly injured, barely played, was the elephant in every changing room undermining the manager, soaked away a large % of the squad budget and slowly turned from hero and icon into an expensive liability.
Of course he could have been gold dust - inspiring and leading by example, selecting his games but providing regular match winning moments, raising the profile of the club and bringing in massive amounts of additional revenue to offset his salary.
Now we just need the news that Rambo is off to Turkey!
I think the wording and everything just made it worse. It’s happening and leaving it at that, he knew exactly what he was doing
Along with the 100% Bale wants to sign for us garbage.😂Bollocks to him. His post was a 'look at me, I'm in the know' bit of attention-seeking.

Puts Craig Bellamy in a bit more perspective...loads of haters on here but at least he finished his career hereand tried to help this albatross of a football club.
fair play he did, nice end to his career
Sign a loan deal with the moonCouldn't have gone much further away from Cardiff could he?
A quick loan move to Melbourne to really piss off the FAW?
But can he handle a rainy Wednesday night in Pluto?Sign a loan deal with the moon
It’s not the boards fault he hasn’t signed and they’d not have deserved much credit had he signed. It was always going to be bale’s decision based on very little else.
I would say though that had we been riding high in the champ and he’d had the carrot of being the final piece of the jigsaw to get his hometown club promoted it may have been more of a temptation? But years of mis management meant that wasn’t possible as he would’ve been joining a side in the middle of a complete transition and training/playing with far from household names.
It’s why I’ve never really got too excited about it, think he’d have been the difference between finishing 9th and 17th rather than suddenly making us promotion contenders
It’s not his fault if people believe the rubbish he writes, but he’s solely responsible for the rubbish he writes, and he wants people to read the rubbish he writes, so if he gets stick for misleading people then tough shit.
Logic would indicate his tweet was aimed at showing he has contacts and is thus "ITK", going off the prevailing view amongst some it was a done deal.
Your post as spot on, and I'd also add to it by pointing out he'd want credit for his "exclusive" tweet if the deal went through.
At least in this thread we found out tlg has got a season ticket 👏.
I admire you for your stance on the shirt issue.
No facker wanted red and if it wasn't for the likes of people like yourself we could still be in that shite.
I wish I could have had your conviction on the issue.
Guffy already asked me if you can come on the train with us.
As if it's up to me.
I know Guff , good lad BTW
