Yes, we get it... you don't like Wales mate. Surely better things to do than 4 messages fishing for a reaction from a load of mostly English Fulham supporters.
Firstly , I'm not your mate , and secondly I certainly wasn't fishing for a reaction , I'm entitled to post my opinion, if you don't like it , tough !

Very odd attitude. In my opinion, which I'm fully entitled to!

Never mind, Twig, I'll be your mate if nobody else will.
Any fool can criticise, condemn and complain, and most fools do.

I watched the match and whoever decided to put in Mark Harris is probably regretting that decision. My goodness, what a match to be up for - and he's just absorbed by the drama of not receiving perfect service.

When Dan James had his shot that was saved, but kept in play, instead of changing directions Harris opted to put his hands out and stop - the ball is barely out of reach for him to collect and recycle. You can even see Wilson yelling behind him to get over it and go chase the ball.

Then another chance where a low cross comes in that is behind the defender and Harris, but instead of making any effort to stick out a leg or reach the ball, he's again - had his hands out begging for service. I couldn't find the video for it, but it's the same reaction.

The last one was the worst. Roughly 30 seconds before penalties...a beautiful cross far post from Thomas that Johnson has headed back across the goal. Harris doesn't even remotely anticipate it and when the ball comes in perfectly to his stride, he doesn't react, he just...again...puts his arms out - begging for service that is past him. Maybe the ball slightly ahead or high, but in that moment - desperate to win the match - you have to sacrifice everything.

It's no wonder he has never played for a team above Championship and he's already 27. This lack of effort in the Prem would get you benched or worse for the entire season.

I wonder how much hair Bellamy was pulling out watching those chances go by - just lack of effort at such a critical stage.

Watched the game.  The equalizer was just waiting to happen.  BIH bossed the game at the end, Wales let them back in.  Wilson looked good.  James very lively.  Johnson looked useless.

Very poor. They've not had a top striker for quite some time.

You may mean George who first played for Wales 2014. Eventually had a career in League 2. Now at Hemel Hempstead Town.

Not to nitpick, but his career is in the National League South (Tier 6).
Hemel Hempstead are currently 1 place above Torquay; near the top of the table (Not the bottom  ::wink::)

Y'know, i'm pretty much a 'support all uk teams' type of guy, however, because every other uk team spouts hatred and wants England to lose... F**k 'em

I honestly think that's mainly just the noisy idiots. I've chatted to plenty of Welsh, Scots and Irish who take an interest in hoe England get on.

As Twig said, the "noisy idiots" won't stop me wanting our plucky neighbours from the British Isles to do well (their underdog story seems quite Fulham-like to me). At the same time i won't be losing any sleep over it. As i didn't lose any sleep over the early exits of the England glory-generation of Terry, Lampard and Cole (and Ferdinand, Gerrard and Beckham) etc. Have been much more into the Gareth Southgate England (and Hodgson and Tuchel).

They take an interest because they like seeing us lose !
