New Coach Needed

Dai and Ruth return from their winter break to discuss the retirement of Welsh footballing legend, Gareth Bale. From discussing best memories, moments and comments to his importance to Wales. We also share some of your best memories of (in my opinion!) the greatest Welsh footballer of them all. Diolch Gareth. For everything.

Thank You Gareth

Listen to Dai and Ruth, two Welsh exiles living in the Netherlands and US, talk Welsh football. They explore the Welsh football fan experience, as well as discussing Welsh football news, gossip and matches.

Excellent open discussion, especially brilliant insight on Euro ‘16 from a players perspective.

Owain Fon Podcast

Great to listen to, funny and insightful. Really enjoyed the interview with Owain Fon Williams.

Great pod

Coleman Had A Dream

A conversation about the best defeat in Welsh football history. It's that simple.

Bosnia (a) Andorra (h)

Welcome back to another Coleman Had A Dream podcast! Following the FAW re-running all the qualifiers in the build up to Euro 2016, we are watching and discussing the games. Up today, are two of the most important games, certainly in the modern history, of Welsh football. After a great start to the group where Wales had won two and drawn two, we came up against an Israel team who had won their opening three qualifying games. They had beaten Andorra, Cyprus and most impressively, top seeds Bosnia and Herzegovina. Wales were to go clear top of the group after this game following a stunning 3-0 win. An apparently out of form (if you were to read the pre match media chatter) Gareth Bale scored a brace, whilst Aaron Ramsey scored a gorgeous header on the stroke of half time. With three points in our pockets Wales headed home, and later in the year (June) came up against a very talented and exciting Belgium side. The Welsh had previously had an hard fought 0-0 draw out in Belgium, but this time went one better when Gareth Bale collected a misplaced backpass and sent the Cardiff City Stadium into raptures. Two games which put us on the road to Euro 2016. In the words of Rob Phillips, “catch us if you can”.Dai and Ruth talk through the games, the tactics, the lineups and the sheer excitement of it all. For Dai, it was well and truly an “I was there” moment. A great fun walk down memory lane….

Dai and Ruth are back with their Favourite Football Things. This time, managers are the focus of our discussion.

We did say we would answer any questions about anything that people asked, and that's exactly what we've done! As a consequence we are talking our favourite football shithouses, and great footballing haircuts. This is perhaps not our best work, but a bit of a laugh. Plus Robbie Savage appears in both categories. Which is nice.

After the FAW broadcast the Euro 2016 Qualifiers against Andorra and Bosnia, Dai and Ruth got back together to see if their memories of the games at the time coincided with what actually happened! A nice trip down memory lane, at what turned out to be two crucial fixtures. Following that, a slight outburst of reality as the current climate both inside and outside of the footballing bubble is aired. Should the football season continue, or should it be sacked off? Why clubs should support each other and what the football world can do to support those lower down the pyramid. It's a more serious end to a light hearted chat.Favourite Football Things will be back tomorrow...

Favourite Matches We've Been To

Ruth and Dai return in the first of a series of mini specials. Euro 2020 has now become Euro 2021 after UEFA undoubtedly made the right (and expected) decision to postpone the tournament. We discuss whether from a football perspective if this is good for Wales, as Joe Allen will likely be available. We also look at the potential knock on effects for others in and out of Wales, including the Wales Women and their potential appearance at Euro 2021. Big thanks to Penny Miles who donated a lot of her time and effort to this portion of the conversation. After that, we start out Favourite Footballing Things series, and the opener is our favourite stadiums. St. James' Park, Elland Road, the Nou Camp, The Racecourse and Wrigley Field all get a mention, among others! Please get back to us with your favourite stadiums and why!

Dai and Ruth return once more to discuss the draw for Euro 2020. The opposition get discussed as do their qualifying campaigns and the route out of the group. Dai in particular demonstrates some very questionable maths skills, and has a now weekly rant - this time about UEFA and the staging of a Pan European tournament.

There's a quick round up of all things Wales too, such as injuries for Ben Davies, how Bale is coping in Madrid among other things.Finally the Women's 0-0 draw with Northern Ireland gets discussed and how opposition players and teams may be targeting certain weaknesses in the starting line up. The big question of the moment also get answered - who will make the Panini sticker album, but not make the plane to Baku......

Dai and Ruth were very lucky to be able to spend an hour with the brilliant Natasha Harding. The Welsh International and Reading player had a lot to discuss, as the recording was done on the day of the Women's Euro 2021 Qualifiers draw. There is a discussion about how Tash got into football, and how a chance meeting with Gwennan Harris's sister gave her a break in the game. Her current club Reading get discussed including Tash's less than favoured role as a wing back. They talk through Tash's Wales debut, her first goals (which turned into a hat trick!) and where she keeps her match balls!After that there is an open and in depth conversation on the recent draw for the Women's Euros 2019 and what everyone's expectations are. Each of the teams in the group (Norway, Belarus, Northern Ireland and the Faroe Islands) get a mention and Tash gives an interesting insight on what she sees as the Norwegians weaknesses, beyond the absence of Ada Hegerberg. Most importantly, there is a revelation which means the Coleman Had A Dream podcast has made the big time.....Dai is in the players whatsapp group. Sort of.
