I would be dissapointed in CB as he clearly loves playing for Wales.

We may not qualify but we still bed to win games so these youngsters coming through have a fighting chance.

Why disappointed in Craig then? As you say he loves playing for his country, its not his fault
that his knee wont hold up to two/three games in a week!!

Its simple, does he risk playing for Wales when there is a big chance that it will mean him
missing 5-6 games for Cardiff City (or worse)... Or does he hold his hands up and say that
he just cant do it, and that his bread and butter job has to come first.

Im Welsh and I love watching him play for Wales ................ we seem to forget he's still a Man City player and he could go back there or even be sold at anytime ! In the perfect world Cardiff will get promoted and Wales will qualify with or without Bellamy and BOTH teams need the best available players so I care that I want Bellamy playing for the ONLY 2 teams that I follow ! :ayatollah:

International players these days are putting their club before country, Bellamy is not unique in this.

Craig will want to play as long as he can at club level. He is getting to an age where he just cant go hell for leather at it without risking his career specially as he has history of a dodgy knee. Another serious injury and he could quite easily reduced his career by a couple of seasons. His bread and butter is playing for his club not country.

As a Cardiff fan I say he should not play for Wales and I would be accused of being selfish. If I was none Cardiff and said yes I would also be accused of being selfish. Perhaps tihs is not the best parallel but the reasoning can be applied. While working in Spain I was on contractual wages. That is if I did not workI did not get paid. Anyway I started playing football again and at my age it was not a clever thing to do. I was pulling something every game and I'm not talking about a senorita. I would struggle in work for days afterwards. I had to give up playing football as my work came first. That is also Craigs dilemma.

Because knowing how much of a proud welshman he clearly is it would not be his choice to not play for wales. He came to Cardiff to help Wales so for him never to play for wales again would seem a bit strange to me.

I dont really care since he's nearing the end of his career.

But if he is fit he should play.

If we have no chance of qualifying he shouldnt play.
