Exactly what I said. No opposing manager has had to do any prep on us before a game during the Martin or Williams era.

I just found a video of it and it was harsh Iā€™ll admit. When I saw it yesterday it was analysed a bit more and I was sure there was (the tiniest) bit of separation which no one would have seen.

Now, looking at it again but without the forensic views of it what I did see was the ball grounded short then pushed forward with no downward pressure. Therefore a knock on. Before TMO thatā€™s a try every day. TMO spots the smallest of infringements however.

I would have loved it to be awarded and that would have made Wales favourites at that stage maybe. Whether Ireland could have dug deep late in the game weā€™ll never know.

If there was any doubt about it, donā€™t you think the entire Welsh press woukd be all over it calling the ref, Lino, TMO etc. cheats?? There nothing I can see other than it being called a ā€œfiendishly close callā€ in one newspaper.

Now, why would I lie about this? Are you ok, because you sound just a little bit stressed out by it all?
If I was mistaken, then so was the TMO and comms / pundits.

Calm down a little before launching a tirade like that, it reflects badly on you.

On the tv yes. His fingers moved appearing like a separation. Iā€™d like it to have been given as well but cameras pick almost everything up these days.

Get that chip off your shoulder man!

You could see the separation when the TMO was deliberating. Minimal I agree but thatā€™s all it has to be. As I said, unlucky.

I thought they said the downward pressure was short (as you said) then he took his hand off, repositioned his fingers and moved the ball forward, hence the knock on decision. As you say, small margins and incredibly unlucky.

Yes, it was a good team performance where everyone contributed from the first whistle to the last.

However, Iā€™m keeping my feet firmly in the ground. We played a style yesterday that wasnā€™t normal for us which also meant the opposition were taken by surprise. The more games we play the more other teams will know how to set up. Itā€™s at that point weā€™ll see a) how good the players are and b) whether Sheehan can tweak things to keep the opposition guessing - something they didnā€™t have to waste time on when Martin and Williams were at the helm.

Hopefully, weā€™ll get the required points well before the danger zone and can relax and start planning on additions for next season.

Whether that will be under Sheehan or not Iā€™ll wait and see.

Wales' 2025 Six Nations squad ...

Game of fine margins. If Meeā€™s attempt was given, who knows what may have happened.

Excellent display on the whole given their last 14 games. Shame for Wales that Gatland didnā€™t go before the 6N.

Itā€™s getting to the point that itā€™s not newsworthy anymore.

We need a heavy counter balance in politics. Iā€™d love to see AfD in Germany get power and Refirm here. It may not be for long but it would be the short, sharp shock the mainstream parties need to understand what the public feeling is.

Whoa R, letā€™s not get too excited.

Yes, today was a vast improvement on previous games, no shadow of a doubt. But I think Sheehan has to do a lot more to be put in the next manager bracket. Heā€™ll have the rest of the season for sure but they all need to build on today, get over the linešŸ¤žand get as many points as possible. Three more wins couple with a few drwpaws will see us there Iā€™ve no doubt.

Great start but a long way to go.

Could have been worse.
Late late winner for Millwall at Derby which is good for us.
Putting my objective hat on I thought the Goutas Red was harsh. Iā€™ve only seen it once from the one angle but Iā€™d be delighted if we got someone off for that type of challenge.

Ok, I was wrong. Not for the first time I admitšŸ˜‚

Happy as I was to see that go in, I canā€™t help but think Cardiff winning is better for us in the long run.

We really need to show energy and intensity today. Get the crowd up which will help them. Iā€™m looking at the other games in bits and pieces and thereā€™s players running for the ball, showing they care. Thatā€™s been lacking so hopefully today weā€™ll see a different attitudešŸ¤ž
