Pre-match postbag. “Club football is great but you can’t beat the goddamn fun of the real thing. Our trip to watch Tuesday’s Macedonia-Wales qualifier in Skopje nearly fell foul of yesterday’s little hiccup at Heathrow. Not to worry: it ended up with a taxi to Manchester Airport and an unscheduled late-night kebab in Istanbul. Another flight and a hire car later, we now find ourselves in a vast casino on the Kosovo-Macedonia border. Bucket hats might break the dress code but things are definitely looking up as we are sitting at an overstaffed bar where the drinks are free. So kind of a casino to provide free beer. September’s trip to the Kazakhstan game will be plain sailing compared to this” – Alan Pugh

“Great to see so many Leeds names on the Wales team sheet. What does this say about both/either? Dreaming of greatness while tripping over their own bootlaces? Obviously Wales will be hoping for a win, clean sheet and bonus point (errr, sorry, wrong game). Now that their rugby is officially [word redacted by Family Website Editor], will Craig’s boyos be the big new hope? It’s a funny old game” – Jeremy Boyce
