Why do the other British countries use their own anthems but we use the British one and not the English one?

I couldn't see it but they didn't show it in slow motion. It looked like he put his arm behind his back.

just seen a replay, it's just never ever a penalty. That's atrocious, the kind of decision I'd want my team to walk off the pitch for.

Terrible coverage. Next to no discussion about the penalty decision. Why ?? Looked nothing like a penalty !!

So....
All this talk about VAR being better in Europe than in the PL
Ref's are meant to be far better at sorting out these sort of incidents than they are in the PL
hmmm...

I hope we give Roberts far more protection in a few weeks time, otherwise it'll be a long season!

Absolutely, never a penalty, disgraceful decision for var to let it go, ref looks the proverbial, was never going to change he's mind, even if he'd been asked to look at it.

Just had a look at the European WC qualifying tables on the BBC website and am surprised to see that, after this match, Wales will be halfway through their qualifying campaign having played 4 games. Groups A-F, however, have yet to play a single match.

Is that because of that Euro thing that has just finished? They were too busy playing that to be bothered about this

I really don't know what else the GK is supposed to do (wrong) having cleared that cross. VAR is absolutely bonkers.

Sam Vokes is an absolute star, should be a role model for would-be professional footballers.

VAR? Why? It's as if they are making a job for themselves. I'd be much happier if VAR was only used at the request of the referee.

I'm not a fan of VAR, but how could it possibly work with VAR only being enabled at the ref's discretion, when VAR is intended to be used to potentially change a decision that the ref thought he had correct?

And it took complaining from Bellamy and Wilson who got booked as a result to get them to review it.
