I had a close call with mine but managed to jump the security when they were looking to take it off me . I won’t bother taking it for Iran as no flags were allowed to be hung over the top tier covering advertising.

Had a very plastic feel to proceedings yesterday . Felt Americanised in some respects , two idiots talking live at half time and stadium announcements for yellow cards . No pre match atmosphere really , all the fans tucked away in bars / restaurants tucked away in huge hotels . Also didn’t help the yanks out numbered us by around 4/5 to 1 in my estimates.

Awful first half performance, but much better second half . Big Kief must start on Friday .

Now for 3 days on lash in Dubai

"Northside of Risca", I wish I could have been with you all out there but I watched on Big Screen here and have to say that the Stadium TV coverage of the Welsh Fans was good I thought, and did not make it look like we were outnumbered 4/5 to 1

I'm sure we were outnumbered as the TV commentary stated that there is a USA Military base near there. But our fans and the "red wall" looked great :clap:

You all did us proud :thumbup:
