You are aware Blatter's latest comments revolved around having a go at us, N Ireland, Scotland for holding the seasts we do in FIFA, eh?

Indeed, he claimed it may have factored into the voting for Englands WC bid.

There are plenty of idiots led by Jack Warner wanting the power for themselves... play a team GB, pressure will occur.

Anyway, Bale wants to play? Expecting a medal? That's utter bs. There are many nations far stronger at u23 level that GB combined... and African nations routinely fake passports to put ringers in...

I personally agree with the FAW because if Wales/Scotland/N Ireland do allow players to participate then FIFA will put pressure on the FA's to combine on a permanent basis thus losing the Welsh national team and us fans having to travel to Wembley to watch one Welsh player and stand shoulder to shoulder with some english mug

I agree mate, it's a no no, as far as I'm concerned. Don't trust FIFA one bit.

anything which jepordises our national teams is simply a no no..

how can they expect us to support a national team which has 1 maybe 2 at a push who are actually Welsh..

ridiculous.
