Coleman Had A Dream

In the 10th Coleman Had A Dream podcast, we have our widest ranging conversation to date. We start by talking about predictions, and what will happen to Cardiff and Swansea ahead of the end of the season. We also discuss Wrexham and Newport's seasons - this was recorded before Ricketts got the job at Wrexham. There's also a word for Chris Coleman, and what happens next for our most successful manager. We then move on to the WPL, and very different end of season goings on for Bangor City and Barry Town United. Bangor face demotion whilst Barry are on their biggest high for 20 years. Following Dai's stadium blog recently, we also chat stadiums and investments for the FAW whilst Ruth raises the topic of Wales moving to summer football. Finally we give out our inaugural end of season CHAD awards. Congratulations to the winners! We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

In a special episode of the Coleman Had A Dream podcast, we talk about Wales' astonishingly brilliant 0-0 draw with England. We start with some recordings made on the match day itself, and follow it up with an interview with Haley from FeWales about the match day. Following that Dai has a discussion with former Lincoln City Ladies player Kate Wooldridge. She talks about what it was like to mark Jayne Ludlow, how much women's football has developed in recent years and how she think Wales are much better than their World ranking suggests. The podcast concludes with a round up from Ruth and Dai, as well as a few words on what we think the outcome of this qualifying campaign will be. Dai also professes his love for Charlie Estcourt for at least the third time in the pod..... It really is an interesting podcast as we discuss a momentous occasion in Welsh football history.

Dai and Ruth sit down and discuss the China Cup as Wales got to the final after destroying China 6-0 but then lost to Uruguay in the final. We discuss the team Giggs played, how he set up the team and what long term solutions or problems he may have found in this trip. We congratulate the FAW for what they have done to arrange the trip, and talk about the big winners and losers of the trip. We also take a few moments at the end to chat about new records set on this trip by Gareth Bale (who Dai giddily calls Wales' greatest ever athlete) and Chris Gunter.

Ruth and Dai go through their views on what will happen in the China Cup - Ruth on a school trip in Africa with a broken ankle, and Dai at home in Boston so excuse the occasional drop in sound quality! We discuss the squad announcement, who we think should start the games and get game time in China plus the new backroom staff get discussed too. Finally, there are a few words for the retiring Dave Edwards too.

In episode 6 of the Coleman Had A Dream podcast, Dai and Ruth discuss a wide variety of topics. From the Welsh clubs recent good form and the Wales Women's exploits in Cyprus to how the U16's fared in Greece. There's more in depth discussions on the comings and goings with the Men's backroom staff changing, Osian's appointment as Giggs' number two, plus opinions on Rambo and Ashley Williams' recent form as well as a few words on Wales at the China Cup, and winning an actual china cup.

In episode 5 of the Coleman Had A Dream Podcast we have a very wide ranging discussion. From the Welsh clubs progress, the Nations League draw to concluding our debate on Paul Dummett and who will replace Ashley Williams in the heart of the defense when he retires. This chat covers a lot of Wales' young guns. Speaking of which, we have an interview with Josh Francombe, who is a young right back playing here in the States for Atlanta United Academy and also representing Wales at u16 and soon to be u17 level. There is also an appearance from the Fire Department as always and some mockery of Newcastle United. Enjoy!

In the latest episode of Coleman Had A Dream, Ruth and Dai discuss Ryan Giggs' appointment as Wales manager, as well as give their thoughts on the recruitment process and how this could change Osian Roberts role within the FAW. They also explain the Nations League as well as discuss some possible opponents for Wales, the Welsh teams success in the FA Cup this season and Gareth Bale's return to fitness. Enjoy!

The latest Coleman Had A Dream podcast focuses on football fans reputations, and involves a discussion on other Welsh sports fans reputations too. A wide ranging discussion culminates with us chatting about the China Cup which Wales have now confirmed their participation in, and Jonathon Ford's comments about the nationality of our future manager. We also have a full interview with The Barry Horns about how their idea of putting a band together transformed into them travelling around France as the Welsh Band, and now their involvement at the Wales Women's matches. A wide ranging and funny interview. We hope you listen, subscribe, and enjoy!

In the second episode of Coleman Had A Dream, we discuss who could be the successor to Coleman, and who we don't want. We also chat with Haley from FeWales about her contribution to the Welsh football fan movement. There's also some words for the Women's team after their World Cup qualifiers, and a comment on the plight of Merthyr.
