A privilege to witness the best party poop ever.

All you need is love: Cyprus 0 Wales 1
You-know-who put us in tantalising touching distance of Euro 2016 – guest post by ALAN LEWIS (@ABERTEIFI_) who was smitten by what he saw
A land of never-ending sunshine, olive groves, amber nectar and all the kebabs you can eat.
The place where Aphrodite, goddess of love and dazzling beauty, emerges from the foam of the sea enchanting anyone who sees her.
Zombies 1 Devils 0
OMG, we finally prosper from a Gavin Maguire moment. A wheel has turned full circle and now we are getting all the breaks.
I’m a Bale-iever! Israel 0 Wales 3
Seven Aberteifi (Cardigan) lads hit Haifa for the France 2016 qualifier. Here, in a guest post by Alan Lewis – who is on Twitter at @ABERTEIFI_ – is a chronicle of one of the most significant wins Wales have ever recorded.
Return to Planet Football – Belgium 0 Wales 0
The cosmic buzz is back.
Last spotted in the ether leaving the Millennium Stadium after the 2003 play-off fiasco in Cardiff, en route to Planet Zog. Through your pain, tears and soul-sucking misery you probably didn’t see it. But I did.
Reappearance dated November 16, 2014. Brussels. We all saw it, smelt it, cherished it, revelled in it, ran our fingers nostalgically through its luxuriant locks and remembered the lost passion we thought we’d never encounter again.

Wales 0 Bosnia 0
Let’s hope that in a year’s time we don’t all think: “If only Ashley WIlliams had scored.”
No quibbles with the outcome, a fair reflection of a strangely entertaining game. Not many 0-0s are so engrossing.
But it would be nice to have an unfair reflection of the game in the scoreline someday, unfair in our favour.
Will Wales qualify?
It’s now or never, isn’t it?
If we can’t qualify when the gates gape as wide as Euro2016’s do, it isn’t going to happen.
Twenty-three teams go through and, after sifting out the no-hopers, that means about 36 countries are vying for those slots.
Chewed lips in Amsterdam – Holland 2 Wales 0
I blame the Dutch for everything, good and bad.

Holland fans 3 Wales fans 3
Welsh fans drew 3-3 in a 70-minute friendly in the shadow of the Amsterdam Arena this afternoon.
Wales 1 England 3
And still they don`t come.
Wales under-21 games have never been a crowd-puller – Aaron Ramsey was the only player ever to make it a night to relish.
And even the old enemy as opposition were unable to pull in the crowd in Swansea.
They missed a decent contest played with real passion and pace.
Wales 1 Ukraine 1
The Welsh women’s team wasted a wonderful chance to enhance their World Cup qualification hopes in this fitfully entertaining draw.
An equaliser in the 78th minute from the home side’s best player Natasha Harding clawed back a point after Wales showed a lack of wit and trickery.
A win would have opened up a headlong charge for the top spot, with group favourites England to be hosted in August and the result seemed like a missed opportunity.
Aur – the golden gang at the Millennium Centre
It’s not just the Olympics that dishes out gold medals – the National Eisteddfod does so too.
Cardiff’s cultural crachach were out in force for the launch of the new exhibition at the city’s Millennium Centre this evening.
To celebrate the centre’s tenth anniversary an exhibition of art by winners of the gold medal for art at the National Eisteddfod is running until mid-March.
