Is it just me or is anyone else getting fed up with the way the media suck up to Bale. Don't get me wrong a good player but the hype surrounding him frustrates the hell out of me. This tournament he's scored one very good goal against a poor Russian side, two free kicks which both keepers should have saved, and to top it all the amount of credit he got for their winning goal against Northern Ireland when all he did was to put in a cross which missed its target. Rant over.

Rant over. Can't stand it , I know football is all about opinion but there is no way bale is up there with the likes of Ronaldo , messi or Suarez . He's constantly put up on a pedestal by the media , very good player on his day but world class ? No way !!!! |

He's a great player. Incredibly simian though.  |

His mere presence for Wales makes him just as important as any player in the world to their club/country. He is put in a pedestal often due to the fact that he seems such a pleasant, good natured and genuine lad. Not the skill sets of Ronaldo or Messi but a great great player for his country! Churlish to suggest otherwise.

Churlish to suggest otherwise. No not churlish , my opinion. As I don't know him personally I can't say he's a pleasant lad. The word ' great' is banded about so often and he most certainly doesn't fall under that bracket. I firmly believe the talisman for the welsh national team of late has been Ashley Williams but because he's not playing for Real Madrid and hasn't grown long greasy hair he doesn't seem to get a mention. Again bale is a very good player but not world class or great as you put it. |

Rant over. You make your own luck. At the end of the day, whether you like or not he has contributed to 4 of Wales' 7 goals and without him Wales would be much, much weaker. Fact. |

By consistently troubling keepers with freekicks for example. The more you trouble the keeper, the more you are likely to score. |

His problems are all to come, the media only puts you on a pedestal to knock you down later.  |

Media say he's great, and every other Rovers player is a legend according to our forums. Who cares? I wish he played for us. He'd soon be a legend

Had this conversation with a welsh lad earlier, can't recall a player so overrated by the media, it's like an obsession.

Bale couldn't get on the bench for the gas mate ! If he came here he'd have his own throne. |
