"It's not for me to say to people 'don't vote Labour because you're going to split the vote'. It's Labour's job to offer a better solution".

Anyone know where a record of Wales B international results can be found? Found bits n pieces online (mainly from sources related to other nations) but nothing definitive

Researcher question:

Did anyone see any Welsh language signage in the public sphere during Euro 2016?

Eg on signs, posters, UEFA branding, etc?

Pascal Kaiser wasn’t fully prepared for his #comingout moment in German football but he’s embraced being visible, building a social media following of 170,000 - rare for a referee.

He says gay and bi players can “change the space” in the men’s game.
