Goes to show what a pro tom is, keeping himself fit enough for an international call up despite being injured....

Well deserved call up for Tom. Was thinking he had missed out due to injury but if he's fit I hope he can get some game time - all the best Tom!!

Would have thought Billy Bodin should be in the Wales euro side to get him match fit before he joins us and might be spared Joey's tough pre season army training camp.

Well done Tom. To be fair he had been a consistent member of the squad over the last couple of years. Without a professional league and a small population, the likes of Wales and Northern Ireland clearly don't have the quality to choose from of that England do. However they do have a great team spirit and a sort of club mentality that some of the big nations lack. Could od be a tough tournament for Wales with a competitive group and no Giggs on the sidelines. They should give Switzerland and Turkey a good game though. So Lockyer, Jaakkola in the Finland squad. Any other Rovers Euros connections?

Congratulations Tom - well deserved. He's a good role model, has always worked hard to make the best of himself, and his work in the community while with us was exemplary.

Ah yes forgot about Roberts, he didn't get many minutes for us! Wasn't Tyrone Mings let go by Rovers as a kid?

Not a bad word to say about Tom, came from Cardiff as a kid and gave his absolute everything for us! He definitely holds love for the gas and always will and I'm chuffed he's in the squad. Would love to see him back one day if he ends up dropping down later in his career and wants to be near home.

It would be great to see him playing for Wales against Italy. What a moment in his career.
And even better, against England when they both reach the quarter finals. 🤔
