Love this Chris - Aupa County, Ymlaen Athletic 😉👍❤️🧡🖤🤍👏⚽

⚽✨ Newport County’s new away kit, inspired by Athletic Club #Bilbao + the #Basque refugee children welcomed to #Wales in 1937, shows football as diplomacy — fans, history + place building international friendship

If anyone is after a prime seat in the Canton red wall end for the Lichtenstein game drop me a line as I have a ticket going 👍. Face value / ono. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⚽

Current Socceroo and former Wales youth international at Bolton, Gethin Jones, is an option. It's a similar story for Rhys Williams, who is now retired. Good read though!

Cracking game and atmosphere at GIO stadium in Canberra this eve for the Matildas 🇦🇺 v Argentina 🇦🇷 - the Welsh Aussie diaspora (Waussies!) was out in full force too! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇺⚽🤝❤️

Exactly this mate re BD 👍👏. Good to see you guys got some Wal Goch festival £s via the WG WEURO25 round of funding 👍. Pob lwc with it all and take care out there 👏👍

Should’ve been permanently appointed Cymru capt months ago for these reasons and the fact he is fit for most games (fingers crossed this continues) - time for CB to make this tough decision imho. AR can still be part of a leadership group of course 👍. BD rarely plays a poor game and a true leader 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

🎥 In a wide-ranging interview for YouTube channel ‘Beyond the Playbook’, I explore how sports (diplomacy) has helped Wales-Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 carve out a distinct voice and profile internationally.

🌐 Interview also traverses broader themes in global sports diplomacy from 🇦🇺🇺🇦🇺🇸🇫🇷🇿🇦 and beyond!

That’s a huge result Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 v Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 live on my Etihad flight! 👏❤️

Gridlocked in traffic M4 J18/19 closed! Trying to get to Heathrow for a flight already delayed over a day it highlights the madness of having only truly major airport in London that paralyses the UK when it goes wrong! Extra runway is madness. Extend a regional airport & spread wealth / opportunity!

Have a great Congress. I love the promo poster, looks great 👍👏

Key contributing factor why Welsh (across UK) economy is struggling. £8.70 to go just 1 stop rtn from Pye Corner to Cardiff (approx 10km) on @transportforwales.bsky.social 🤷‍♂️ Scandalous, business unfriendly and little wonder roads are clogged! @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @welshgovernment.bsky.social

I agree with this. It’s a better standard than many in Australia and overseas think and has improved in general since its inception. Steady progress.
