A Conservative MP has been ridiculed on social media after posting a good luck message to the Welsh women's football team in the Euros — despite them failing to qualify.
Virginia Crosbie, who has represented Ynys Môn since 2019, posted to Facebook on Wednesday: "The 2022 UEFA Women's Euro championship is due to kick off this week at Wembley Stadium. I would 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."
Later that evening the statement was mocked on Twitter by the Blogdroed football page, which wrote: "Great post from our MP on Facebook … apart from the fact that *checks notes* the Euros opened in Old Trafford tonight, *checks notes* Gemma Grainger replaced Jayne Ludlow as Wales coach in 2021 and *checks notes* Wales haven’t actually qualified she’s … errr … spot on!"
