Biggest ever game for Welsh women’s football tonight.

Followed by an even bigger one on Tuesday I think it is.

Wales v Republic of Ireland in the First Leg of a Play Off tie with a place at the Euros as the prize. Kick off at Cardiff City Stadium is at 7.15 - think they’ll have to improve on their display against Slovakia and I wish Sophie Ingle was playing.

Definitely.
Hopefully Jess Fishlock's back to full fitness now.

Unfortunately the match clashes with The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice

Against the run of play, but that was a very nicely worked goal.

1-1, the Welsh keeper needed to be two inches taller.

[Armitage Shanks]

Wales playing well

[llan bluebird]

My first game watching start to finish. Do the refs normally let as much go as this one? The Irish seem to leave a bit in every contact but nothing or am i just biased?

[the other bob wilson]

Fair result, Wales better in the second half.

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Poor performance at home that

Well taken goal but Wales anonymous really

Ireland look the better all round team

Better but still second best ?

Ireland look the better all round team

Compared to where we were a couple of years ago, I'll take that performance

I think we are going to just fall short

[The Lone Gunman]

Well taken goal but Wales anonymous really

5 shots each. 2 on target each. 3 corners each. But Wales were anonymous really.

Fair result, I thought we were the better team second half

There’s not a lot between them.

No, I thought Ireland were the better team first half and we were second half. Play Offs tend to be tight, edgy affairs more often than they are high scoring thrillers - City’s one successful Play Off campaign produced two goals in three games and it would have been one were it not for extra time.

Looking at the head to head in this fixture over the years. It usually goes to the away team over almost all of the games played has been won by the away team. So looking good in the return leg.

Thanks for that, interesting and it provides some hope for Wales, but I think Ireland's experience of qualifying for a major tournament gives them the edge - it's a real shame that Ingle, with her Chelsea experience, isn't there for us.

They seemed a bit more streetwise , more nasty, digging in
