Blundering Tory MP’s good luck message to Welsh women’s football team despite them failing to qualify

A BLUNDERING Tory MP sent a good luck message to the Welsh women’s football team in the Euros — despite them failing to qualify.

Virginia Crosbie’s post also mentioned manager Jayne Ludlow, who left the job 18 months ago.

And she said the first game of the tournament, hosted by England, was at Wembley rather than Old Trafford.

The MP for Anglesey, North Wales, said: “I’d like to wish all the Welsh squad, their coach Jayne Ludlow MBE and all the team the best of luck in the championship.

“I am a keen advocate of all sports, I play in the parliamentary cross party tennis team, and I personally sponsor several teams across Ynys Mon in football, rugby and even local world transplant games athletes.”

Welsh FA boss Noel Mooney replied with a “see no evil” monkey emoji.

Welsh football expert John Carrier said: “Oh dear, an embarrassing moment from Wales.”

Ms Crosbie said it was a “training exercise with staff from months ago posted by mistake”.
