soon, keep the faith

It must be so frustrating for you guys right now.

[Davey]

Llanelli's UEFA Cup home tie has been moved to the Liberty Stadium.

Went to Victoria Road (Remax Stadium!) last night for the first time as Port Talbot played the Swans. Swansea comfortably won 2-0 but Port Talbot didn't do too badly. They have a good manager and think they could do well next season.

My support in the Welsh Premier next year will be torn between Aberystwyth Town and Port Talbot.

[hanouda]

Don't support Aber. Port Talbot far more CULT.

Apparently the Bluebirds are also signing Kevin Campbell, and Jason Koumas is set to sign*.



*Although, he's been set to sign for a few weeks now, and it's probably just a page filler.

Wales recall Coyne for Bulgaria
Danny Coyne

Danny Coyne, Mark Delaney and Sam Ricketts are in Wales' squad for the friendly with Bulgaria on 15 August.

First-choice keeper Coyne missed 12 months with a cruciate knee ligament injury, but played for Burnley on the club's pre-season tour of Italy.

Lewis Price drops to the Under-21 squad to face Israel in Herzelia (16 August).

Aston Villa defender Delaney struggled with knee problems for much of last year, while Hull full-back Ricketts' foot injury is not as bad as feared.

Ex-Swansea man Ricketts will be making an early return to the Liberty Stadium for the game, Wales' last before the Euro 2008 qualifiers start against the Czech Republic in Teplice on 2 September.

Youngsters Jason Brown, Lewin Nyatanga, David Cotterill and Joe Ledley are all included, suggesting that they are now fixtures in the senior squad.

Jason Koumas is also in, despite his late withdrawal from Wales' summer tour squad and his failure to attend pre-season training with West Brom.

Wales have beaten Bulgaria just once in their previous four meetings, a 1-0 win at Wrexham in 1983.

Gareth Bale and Craig Davies join Price in the U21s for their Uefa Championship tie, along with uncapped Cardiff defender Darcy Blake.

But Ramon Calliste and Rhoys Wiggins are out for lengthy spells with serious leg injuries.

Manager Brian Flynn's side are still unsure whether they will have to travel to Israel.

Discussions with Uefa and the Israeli FA have failed to reach a solution, with the Football Association of Wales unhappy about having to send their youngsters to the Middle East.

# Wales' 2 September Euro 2008 qualifier with the Czech Republic will kick off at 1915 BST.

Wales: Jones (QPR), Coyne (Burnley), Brown (Blackburn); Collins (West Ham), Delaney (Aston Villa), Duffy (Portsmouth), Edwards (Wolves), Gabbidon (West Ham), Nyatanga (Derby), Partridge (Bristol City), Ricketts (Hull); Davies (Everton), Fletcher (Crystal Palace), Koumas (West Brom), Ledley (Cardiff), Robinson (Norwich), Vaughan (Crewe); Bellamy (Liverpool), Cotterill (Bristol City), Earnshaw (Norwich), Giggs (Manchester United).

Wales Under-21 squad to face Israel (Uefa U21 Championship, Herzelia, 16 August): Price (Ipswich), Hennessey (Wolves); Bale (Southampton), Blake (Cardiff), Critchell (Southampton), Davies (Cambridge), Jacobson (Cardiff), Spender (Wrexham), Morgan (MK Dons), Mike Williams (Wrexham); Crofts (Gillingham), A Davies (Yeovil), Edwards (Shrewsbury), Jones (Wrexham), MacDonald (Swansea), Marc Williams (Wrexham); C Davies (Verona - on loan at Wolves), D Williams (Yeovil).
