...Robinson is not in the Starting XI for Wales today

I wonder how many of the 9 players we're missing will sit on the pines today.

Yeah, it's total bullshit that the managers pull this crap.

If you guys watch the game (Wales v Azerbajan on Goal TV) you'll see that the Weslh midfield, especially in the centre, is pretty good. Robbo doesn't fit in there. Their midfielders are better than him, plain and simple.

Disappointing that Wales didn't let him come back here...especially if the manager knew he wouldn't have a place in the match

Tough call. So players that are assured a starting spot are the only ones that take leave from their teams? It would never work.

But on the other hand, if Wales were told of our difficult situation, maybe they wouldn't have called him up?

There's 2 games in this break. Wales plays Russia on Wednesday. I wonder if seeing as getting a draw will be the plan on Wednesday that the tactics will suit Robbos game more than today when they had to win.

and just now to support my point...with 5 minutes to go and a lead to protect...here's Robbo

olegunnar you were right

Russia beat them 2-1....Robbo started and played the first half

with Wales down 1-0 at halftime, Robbo was subbed out in the second half

From the gamecast:

20' - Carl Robinson commits a foul on Dmitri Torbinsky resulting on a free kick for Russia

20' - Carl Robinson is awarded a yellow card. Reason: unsporting behaviour

22' - Carl Robinson commits a foul on Konstatin Zurianov resulting on a penalty for Russia

37' - Carl Robinson takes a direct freekick with his right foot from his own half. Outcome: pass

46' - Wales makes a sub: Samuel Ricketts enters for Carl Robinson. Reason: Tactical

come on... if he did that at BMO, and the opposing player pulled that, the place would explode.

Welshie was the but of many jokes in our group but one thing I could give him is that he had heart.

I can't say the same for most of the guys on our team now.

Hope to see you soon Simon :)
