Coleman Had A Dream

Dai and Ruth return to discuss Wales' disappointing 4-0 defeat to Denmark, and the bigger picture issues which surround our last 16 exit.

Dai and Ruth return to discuss Wales is one nil defeat to Italy, and what happens next. Wales face the neutrals favourite, Denmark. Thankfully Coleman Had A Dream will be represented at the match, as Dai has a ticket. The game is being held in Amsterdam and we discuss what is to come for Cymru ahead of the crunch last 16 game. We do predictions, discuss the dread of penalties, and look at what advantages and disadvantages may face the Welsh side as Danish fans appear to be welcome at the stadium. As always, we've got you covered.

Dai and Ruth return to discuss Wales is glorious two nil victory over Turkey. We discussed the lineups, the teams and the different performances that this brilliant group put together. We look at the Italy game on Sunday, and how different results may affect Wales. What a fantastic night. What a fantastic performance. What a fantastic victory. Onto the next one.

Dai and Ruth return to look at Wales' 1 - 1 draw with Switzerland and ahead to Wednesday's match with Turkey as well as other incidents from the tournament so far.

Dai and Ruth return with their preview podcast ahead of Wales' first game on Saturday next weekend. Before and after the match preview though, there is a lot to cover in this bumper episode. We start by discussing the recent friendlies. The 3-0 defeat to France ruined by an over zealous referee, and the lacklustre 0-0 draw with Albania, punctuated by the return of fans. We are grateful to James Evans (@galloisinfrance) for sharing his pre and most match thoughts from the stadium. It even included his rendition of the anthem and a chant about some bloke called Bale...... Following that we preview the Switzerland game - Wales' opening Group A match at Euro 2020. We discuss lineups, what may or may not happen, and Ruth fails dismally at some quick fire "yes or no" questions. We finish up by sharing Ruth's interview with Turkish football expert Ahmet Turgut. The pair discuss the Turkish squad, their star players and how their fans think they will fare once the footballing hostilities commence. Basically, ah

Dai and Ruth return to run the rule over Wales' Euro 2020 squad. The predictions go out the window as Rubin Colwill gets the nod, alongside Dylan Levitt. No room for Lawrence, Hal, Matondo or Tom Lockyer who has been struggling with injury. All of this, and some of your tweets and reaction get mentioned too. From there we preview the France and Albania friendlies, before a quick club roundup after a very disappointing weekend for Wrexham and Swansea. We wish Newport luck, and instantly belittle the crazyness of their semi final playoff game, by discussing the Cymru Premier Europa League playoff. Caernarfon beaten 5-3 in a wild game, by Newtown.

Dai and Ruth return with a pre euros special interview, with the FAW's Head of the International Department, Mark Evans. Mark, also known for creating the Merthyr fanzine Dial M For Merthyr, sat down and chatted about anything and everything. Euro 2016 and Dinard, who rooms with who, what do the players talk about, who are unlikely friends and which players we should (or shouldn't) be concerned about fitness wise ahead of the Euros. It was a highly entertaining hour, and very informative too, spent with one of the most influential people involved with Welsh football. I would highly recommend giving it a listen!

Dai and Ruth return with another pre Euros pod. We discuss Connah's Quay winning the league and the test events for sports announced this week. We wish Newport and Swansea good luck, whilst also commenting on Wrexham and their brilliant weekend win. We finish by talking through our squad predictions, and how the injured players in our squad are looking. We discuss Gêm Y Wlad our online magazine too, which will be out very soon!

Dai and Ruth return to look at what they think Rob Page's Euro 2020 squad will look like, especially now we know there will be a 26 man squad. Following that we discuss Page's recent press conference where he assumed full control over the job and spoke excellently in general. New assistant Kit Symons gets discussed too. We finish with Newport County getting in the play offs, and a mention for some of our Wales Women who had a mixed weekend it is fair to say. Finally, have a look at new venture from us, at cymru.150.com You can get involved with blogs and more too, at colemanhadadream.com. Thanks for listening!

Dai and Ruth return for a mixed and varied pod. Starting with the decision to allow teams 26 players for the Euros, and how it may affect some players, and who picks the squad. From there we discuss the Women's World Cup Qualifiers draw, plus a new initiative set up by the pair, as well as others. We conclude with a club roundup for Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and Wrexham PLUS a debate about Manchester United fans weekend protest.

Dai and Ruth return to discuss the goings on the world of Welsh football and beyond, in another quiet seven days in the footballing world... We start by talking about the Ryan Giggs situation, and the conclusion that Rob Page will be leading the team at the Euros in a few months. From there we move to the spectacular collapse of the European Super League and what sanctions could or should be given to clubs involved. We have a large chunk dedicated to the World Cup Qualifying draw, for the Wales Women's side. The draw takes place at 12.30 UK time on Friday, so we look at who our dream (and nightmare!) draws would be against. We finish with an update on the Euros situation, which developed again this week, regarding location and ticketing.

Dai and Ruth return for a rant about the shambles in European football, a chat about Danny Ward's ambition, Laura McAllister's FIFA vote and some actual football, as Wales women secured a great battling draw with an excellent performance against a talented Danish side.

Dai and Ruth are back to discuss the Wales friendly match against a well respected Canadian team. The match, the tactics, the goals and the new style of play, in Gemma Grainger's first match. Following this we look at the Denmark game, and look ahead to what will be an interesting contest. A team containing the most expensive female player in the world come to the Cardiff City Stadium. Dai and Ruth look at how they will play, but how teams like this will be teams Wales aim to try and compete against regularly if we are to qualify for the World Cup in 2023. We finish with a quick round up of some younger age group results, Tom Lockyer's injury which will likely see him miss the Euro's and a collective congratulations to the Swansea media team and players for this week's twitter blackout. As ever, thanks for listening.

Dai and Ruth return to discuss a lot of what has just happened for the men, and what is about to happen for the women! The nail-biting victory over the Czech Republic is first on the agenda. The game, the tactics, the red cards, the goal and Joe Rodon's wonderful block - we go through it all. The "bigger picture" issues also get mentioned in terms of the group, and how this leaves us looking forward, plus questions surrounding Page and Ramsey. The concerning levels of abuse towards our players is also a topic for us here, both personal abuse toward players like Conor Roberts and the appalling racial abuse given to Rabbi Matondo and Ben Cabango. Following this, we move on to the women's team and the appointment of Gemma Grainger. We look at her past and discuss how she will get on as Wales manager, looking ahead. We also look at the Canada game in particular, including some simply staggering goalscoring stats for the opposition. All in all a varied chat, looking at some key games for both sides, plus som

Dai and Ruth return for an extended podcast, discussing the 3-1 defeat to Belgium in the opening World Cup Qualifier, as well as the very encouraging 1-0 victory over Mexico in Cardiff. This is followed up by a preview of Tuesday's huge game against the Czech Republic. The opening section is based on the qualifier against the Belgians, and the frustrating manner of the defeat. Whilst we scored a great goal, there was certainly a feeling of an opportunity missed. The line ups, the tactics, the key decisions and the goals themselves get dissected as well as a few bigger picture issues. From there, we move on to Mexico, and the man of the moment, Chris Gunter. We riff a little on the centurion himself as well as dissect the bonkers starting line up, which turned out to not actually be that bonkers. From players who took their opportunity, to players who need to improve, we discuss it all. We finish with a preview of the Czech Republic game, and mention their impressive 1-1 draw with the Belgians this week,

Dai and Ruth return to finally talk about the Wales team playing football! Ahead of an exciting ten days or so where Cymru will face Belgium, Mexico and The Czech Republic, there is a lot to discuss! From the goalkeeper dilemma, and who will start there, to who will be in front of the stopper in defence. We have a tactics discussion where we talk through who we want to play and who we think will play! Following some frankly staggering statistics about the Belgian side, we move on to the Mexico friendly. Who should play, how should we experiment, and does Chris Gunter get his 100th cap are all the big talking points. We will be back next week with a preview of the Czech game, as well as a review of this key double header. In the meantime, make sure you give our Welsh international football magazine a look. Gêm Y Wlad is a free electronic magazine, stuffed full of content (for free!), from fans for fans. We have some great artwork to go with it too. @colemans_dream facebook.com/colemanhadadream

Dai and Ruth are back to run through the squad, which was announced today. As always, it is never dull. Four goalkeepers, no Vaulks or Jephcott and Ramsey is included despite being seemingly injured. We discuss surprises, who deserves to be in (or doesn't!) and finish with a quick discussion of the South Wales derby coming up on Saturday. It's a full show! Finally, don't forget the new international football magazine for Wales fans we have launched this week - Gêm Y Wlad. Free, downloadable fan created content. Give it a look: colemanhadadream.com If you like this pod, follow us: Twitter: @colemans_dream Facebook.com/colemanhadadream

Dai and Ruth return to give you a round up of the week in Welsh football. The pair begin by launching their new international football magazine for Wales fans - Gêm Y Wlad. A match programme, with some unique and original artwork. From fans, for fans. It will be available from 15th March online, so keep your eyes open for that! We discuss the resumption of the Welsh League, Cymru Premier, and some interesting and very watchable games in it. Bala getting a draw with TNS has got someone the boot, and Aber score a sumptuous last minute freekick! It was a good return! From there we talk through the news of a possible joint World Cup hosting bid involving Wales, as Dai becomes an old man and moans about too many teams getting involved in the most famous tournament of them all. We also mention Newport and their new home from home in Cardiff, plus their seeming upturn in form. We finish with some mild swearing and rudeness as Ruth’s husband Alan pops in to say hello…… It’s a good one. If you like this pod, fol

Dai and Ruth return to answer your questions. After regular recent questions we have put together a Q&A podcast, and go around to all your great questions. From big issues like the Giggs situation, to replacing Jayne Ludow (Ruth wanted a female Welsh lady...) and discussing which of Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and Wrexham we think would go up this season. It is a varied and packed pod covering a variety of club and national team issues. If you like this podcast, please follow us on twitter and facebook: @colemans_dream facebook.com/colemanhadadream

Dai and Ruth are back to respond to a question from a twitter follower, asking about the Wales players who will be coming through in the future. We discuss the young players coming through and how they are currently getting on. From there, we look at who will or should be involved in the Mexico friendly coming up, sandwiched between two qualifiers. Then who will be potentially involved in the next Euros campaign and Nations League game, before asking the question, will any of these players make an unlikely run for Euro 2020. We talk through the goalkeeping situation and why taking a young keeper to the Euros may be a good idea, Dai is unnecessarily pessimistic about the future, and then we finish by talking about the encouraging battle for playing time and squad time, these youngsters are creating. All in all, a good way to fill your week! If you like the pod, please follow us on Facebook and Twitter: @colemans_dream facebook.com/colemanhadadream colemanhadadream.com
