Arranging this friendly was the most idiotic decision in decades. What a stupid, stupid decision with Belgium Monday (granted they didn't know that at the time), but what an obvious morale killer. Just insane! #Wales #Cymru

It’s been 68 years since the #MunichAirDisaster, where 23 people sadly lost their lives. However, we should always remember the contributions by the players and staff left behind.

But Henry. You were one of the biggest campaigners for VAR. You wanted more correct decisions. You got one there. Half the time you want consistency. The other half you want common sense. You can’t fave both. Pick one please!
