Coleman Had A Dream

Dai speaks to Gwennan Harries about the draw with Belgium, the Nations League so far and of course qualifying from the World Cup. This is an audio recording from our new YouTube channel which we've converted into a bonus podcast!

Dai and Ruth are back to discuss what is likely Wales' greatest achievement on a football pitch - qualifying for a World Cup. We discuss the match, our days out, our hangovers and much more. It is simply put, two very happy people reliving a momentous day.

Dai and Ruth return to discuss the biggest Wales match...since the last one. The World Cup playoff final. The squad, formations, the tactics and more besides plus we answer some of your questions. We look at the match in the context of the Poland game in the Nations League too, which also gets discussed. We finish by sending our congratulations (and commiserations) to some players and clubs whose seasons finished this weekend.

Dai and Ruth return to discuss everything which has happened in Welsh football since they last got together. Injuries (or not too many injuries) ahead of the playoff, changing dates, football behind a paywall, Tash Harding's future and the football league playoffs for Welsh players plus the fate of Wrexham ahead of the last day of the season. Most importantly, we congratulate David Brooks on his news that he is officially cancer free. We answer some of your questions along the way too. Let us know what you think as we approach the biggest game in Welsh football since...the last one.

Dai and Ruth return to have a slightly less hungover look at the Austria game, plus a chat about the friendly draw with the Czech Republic. Following on from that the pair discuss the draw for the World Cup (should we get there as Ruth is at pains to point out...), where Bale and others might play next season, the potential of a 34 team tournament and more besides. We finish with a chat about the women's game against France and Kazakhstan plus the Wales C 4-0 win against England. And it was all less than an hour...

Dai & Ruth take a whirlwind look at Cymru's 2-1 victory over Austria, that takes Wales through to the World Cup playoff finals.

Dai and Ruth return ahead of the big one - Wales v Austria. Another step on the road to Qatar, in the World Cup playoff semi final. We start by looking at the squad Page has selected, before discussing the Austrians and how they may play. We discuss the big issues then, and look at who will play in the Welsh side, and if we could even end up having a change of shape to match theirs. We discuss the dreaded P word and make our predictions.

Dai and Ruth return to discuss all things Welsh football. We start by discussing the Ukraine v Scotland postponement and what it might mean for Wales plus potential variations around it, before getting the news at the end of the recording that the Austria game is confirmed as being on 24th March live on air! We do a full review including your comments of Cardiff, Wrexham, Swansea and Newport plus a variety of other issues. The new Women's team kit, Matondo, Mark Hughes at Bradford and much more.

Dai and Ruth return to discuss all the goings on in Welsh football in the last two weeks. The closure of the transfer window raised some interesting questions, both incomings and outgoings which we discuss. From there we chat about the Pinatar Cup and the Women's team head to Spain as well as the ticketing mess which unfolded on Monday morning, as the playoff tickets went on sale. We finish by talking through the newly announced Euro 2028 bid, jointly held by the FA's of Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland, England and the Republic of Ireland. Let us know what you think!

Dai and Ruth return to discuss the latest goings on in the last two weeks in Welsh football. Giggs' postponed court date and the impact on Wales and the FAW plus the news that tickets are soon to be released for the playoffs. We discuss the news that FIFA have changed their minds on yellow card allowances ahead of those games too. We discuss the friendly tournament the Women's team will play in Spain, plus the release of locations for the Nations League games against the Netherlands and Poland. We finish with a rant about morals and Newcastle United, some holiday planning advice in the Netherlands and Judith Chalmers. It's a long story...

After a winter break, Dai and Ruth are back. The pair discuss your questions after a chat about the Nations League and which Wales players could be on the move in January.

Dai and Ruth return to discuss the defeat to France last week, plus answer some questions from you. We start with some overall thoughts on the game before moving into specifics - Green's red card, the unfortunate second goal and the hurdles that the players need to overcome before we can move to the next level. We finish by talking about the "losers" playoff final game in March and congratulate Sophie Ingle on yet another addition to her trophy cabinet.

Dai and Ruth return to discuss the World Cup playoffs draw, and we are set to face Austria and one of Scotland or Ukraine for a place in the Qatar World Cup! We answer some of your questions, make some predictions and talk about how we would and could beat these teams. From there we look at the women's team and their comfortable victory over Greece on Friday night. We look ahead at Tuesday's game against the French too, and ask: is this a good time to play France? We finish by reflecting on the 10 year anniversary of the passing of Gary Speed. Gone but not forgotten.

Dai and Ruth return to discuss the big talking points from Wales' 5-1 victory over Belarus and the stirring draw with Belgium. The point secured Wales a home game in the semi final of the playoffs, so the draw itself gets mentioned, along with Wales' potential opponents. Finally Rob Page gets the credit he deserves following some brave decisions, but effective decisions. Well done boys...on we go!

Dai and Ruth are back! The pair cover a lot of ground in just under an hour. We begin with a look back at the Wales Women's team after they drew with Slovenia, and convincingly beat Estonia. We also reflect on the fantastic job done, celebrating the 200th game for our women's team. Following this we look ahead to the Belarus and Belgium home games as Wales look to round off the campaign in a positive way. We answer your questions about players avoiding bookings, who replaces Moore in the opening game and how Ruth and I would set up. We discuss the squad as a whole and make our dreaded predictions. It's good to be back...

Dai and Ruth return to look at the big games coming up this week, and look back at the big game which happened over the last weekend - Cardiff losing to Swansea in the South Wales Derby. We begin by looking at the Women's World Cup Qualifiers as Wales take on Slovenia and Estonia. The Slovenia away games looks a tough one, and the pair look at their most recent performance against France as evidence of that. Attention the turns to the home game against Estonia. Tactics, predictions and a look at the opposition. We move on to discussing Cardiff and Swansea, and how big a win for the jacks this was. Both look to be moving in very different at the moment, and we discuss which way both are heading. We finish with a mention of David Brooks and Dan Barden. Good luck to them both in their fight against cancer.

Dai and Ruth return to talk about the key games against the Czech Republic and Estonia.

Dai and Ruth return to discuss Rob Page's squad announcement. An unusually short pod, as Dai's dog did not appreciate a longer recording before his evening walk...

With Ruth unfortunately ill this week, Dai was joined by former Wales international, and BBC pundit, Gwennan Harries. The pair discuss the convincing win over Kazakhstan and the battling victory over Estonia. Everything from tactics, to the goals and the wider context of the wins and other results in the group get discussed. We finish with a reminder of the next games in October, including the massive game against Slovenia. Gwennan expects nothing less than 6 points from the double header. Enjoy the pod, and let us know what you think!
