Ireland v Wales, two countries with so much in common, so whats the relevance of this fixture ? Irish folk will be hoping for a win as they are slowly losing the right to play in next years Euro Championships. Wales manager Ryan Giggs on the other hand has already seen his side qualify for those championships over an exciting last few games of qualification. But of course what is this Irish thing we all know about.
However ...
Here's one - More Irish people are living abroad than there are in Ireland. There are 80 million Irish people outside of Ireland and only around 6 million in Ireland. But at this point we have to pause, apparently most of the USA think they are Irish, but out of the 17 million who think they are, only 9 of them are actually Irish. If we apply the qualification rules for playing for Ireland at football to this principle, nobody in the USA is Irish. In fact the truth is the USA would owe Ireland 78 million people as of today if this principle was applied . Its a conundrum which now solved is fact. I'm happy to help.
Many musicians in the USA also believe they are Irish, the Boston based ( clue ) band Dropkick Murphys sing about Ireland a lot, however none of them have ever been to Ireland and in fact they are more reservation Indian than Irish. Not a lot of people know that but now you do, make your own mind up. On the other hand if you apply the fact that most American Irish have great, great, great, great, great grandparents who came from Ireland the whole population of the states are Irish bar one bloke who lives in Greenwich village, New York who is actually American. When last asked he thought he was Italian but didn't know where Italy was.
Dropkick Murphys yesterday. Honestly, get a country.
Strangely enough most real Irish people in Ireland call themselves Republicans, but not like USA Republicans, more like Republicans who aren't Americans. At this point it becomes complicated, but suffice to say that's a fact as well. In Wales supporters of Plaid would call themselves Welsh nationalists but not like British nationalists who are different entirely, it continues to get confusing because Scottish nationalists are independent seeking people the same as Irish republicans. However they are not republicans. They are nationalists. Politically its a quandary.
Wales is a great place full of Welsh people from Ton Pentre and Carmarthen, however most live in Aberaeron and Whitland. The Welsh government all live in Cardiff in a large building like Antifa did in Washington a few months ago. They make rules up that primarily suit people who live in the Lekwith area of the city, nobody knows why, and many areas of Wales are not sure if any of these political people actually exist or are cardboard characters with strange tendencies. Either way there's another place there called Ely where swamp people live. In Lekwith lives a man called Anus who writes fictional books on fighting, he follows England and eats kebabs. When England scored their third goal on Thursday night he mobbed up with his next door neighbour and gassed himself in the face. He lay on the floor until a SWAT team from Belgium appeared and tucked him up in bed with a hot drink, they still have his English passport.

I would have taken 0-0 before a ball was kicked, as it turned out not many Wales players had a good game, most were poor in my book, although I thought Rodon did well. |  |

Wales didn't do enough to deserve to win, Kieffer Moore's touch was terrible, I didn't think either of our full backs played well, I thought H.Wilson was poor, Morrell and Smith were ok but they are not our creative players, Dan James didn't do much, Ramsey was no more than ok, Hennessy had nothing to do, Ampadu and Rodon done ok apart from one phase of play where two Irish attackers were free on our penalty spot.
Today's game away to Ireland and our next game away to Bulgaria in a few days time I would have taken a draw in both matches, so can't be too disappointed with the result, but I'm not over impressed with the performance. | |

Wales are risk averse and declined chances to put the ball in the 6 yard box. Full back charge up the field then move backwards to avoid overlapping. Passing is slapdash even for Brookes.
Hennessy alway threatens to delivery a fast ball for James to run onto but declines every time. |  |

Yes you right and it's been like that this whole campaign, similar to the Swans actually, both successful at this stage, not sure what a paying crowd would think mind. | |

Bale, although he has been poor for us recently, makes others play better when he is on the pitch |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Yes that's true and he worries defenders as well even attracting two defenders to him leaving space elsewhere.
Moore is apparently out of the next game, I wonder who Wales will replace him with. | |

A six foot fence panel as it has a better first touch and doesnt give away half the fouls that moore does. [Post edited 11 Oct 2020 17:18]

Indeed, is Vokes still available ?, would Doidge be any worse I wonder ? could T.Roberts do a job ?, I wonder what Wales will do out in Bulgaria with Moore apparently suspended. | |

Dont know about doidge and vokes but I'd start with roberts, yes he isnt as physical as moore but hes more mobile, has a far better first touch and doesnt give away as many fouls as moore, hes even better than the six foot fence panel, that can go on the bench and get splinters in its @rse. | | | |

Wales s leading scorer for players actually born outside Wales. He has more movement than more and did well for Colemen who were much better on the counterattack than Giggs s teams who actually have more natural pace. | |

If all football games were like that dross,nobody would ever pay for entrance ever again.
Playing it round at the back 10 mins to go against 10 men..
Wish I had some fence painting to do myself | |

I think he will play T.Roberts out in Bulgaria myself. | |

The BBC following on from their "Inexperienced England beat Wales". I see todays headline is "Wales held by 10 man Republic of Ireland". |  |

More accurate would have been "10 man Rep. of Ireland unlucky not to beat Wales". | | | |

Oh Finland winning by a few goals now, we might have to beat Bulgaria out there now, I was hoping that come the last game at home to Finland that a draw would be good enough to top the group, if we don't beat Bulgaria out there and Finland keep on winning we might have to beat them in Cardiff. | |

Forgot the match was on and just caught the 4 mins f injury time on S4C. Commentators and post match analysers said it was a very poor performance by Wales.
We’ve not been playing well for a while. We’ve been picking up points in tournament matches but we need to sort it out. Let’s hope we can get a decent result in Bulgaria. | | | |

That’s the one big positive. Moore suspended. |  |

Put simply, Harry Wilson and Smith are not worth a start shirt.
Ampadu in centre mid for Smith.
Matondo as a winger for Wilson.
Brooks for Dan, i think.... ?
And Moore needed to be hooked after 45 for Tyler Roberts.
It was game Wales could have won without Joey and Bale - and would have won with them.
One huge effort and we are looking good. |  |
