Just wondering what the chances are of N Ireland beating England on Saturday. What is the N Ireland team likely to be. Will young Davis of Aston Villa start.
cant wait for the match myself....im heading over on friday with the green and white army! my team would be....
GK: Taylor
LB: McCartney
RB: Baird
CB: Hughes
CB: Murdock
LM: Capaldi
RM: Johnson
CM: Whitley
CM: Davis
FW: Healy
FW: Elliot
realisticly we dont have a chance against a team of such individual quality but football can be a funny game and we WILL be up for it!
No place for Gillespie then, even though he seems to be playing well at the moment.
I think gillespie is a great player, playes with heart and passion......but damo johnson is playing at a higher level and tends to be more consistant with his final ball.....great sub to have thoguh!
I said before on OWC -I think NI should have a right go at them for the first ten minutes or so of each half.
No point or need in containing them from the off as they have good quality in all areas but are nowhere near as good as their own press thinks they are.
You always have a chance in this game.
C'mon Norn Iron!!!!
The best of luck to Northern Ireland, don't think ye'll need a script for this game Sanchez will have his ideas and the players will work their socks off something you could rarely accuse les anglaise of :D
i think northern ireland will do well, sometimes england have struggled against lesser teams recently, especially in qualifications, slovakia, moldova, azerbaijan etc. NI need to keep this in mind and go out and attack, i think they will have a big support in the crowd. i just hope the english hooligans don't use this as a opportunity to cause trouble....
all the best to the lads, hope they do us proud.....
:D
I reckon Norn Iron will give it a good effort but I reckon England will win 3 or 4 nill.
Best of luck anyway lads, who knows, you might get a draw
as I qualify to play for Northern Ireland through my mother( eligible just not enough talent) being born in Belfast.... C'MON THE WEE NORTH :D

Elliot and Healy are two decent strikers youve got a chance. Stuart Elliot is in a good bit of form for Hull of late.
Will be cheering you on by text as doubt if they'll be showing the game around the stadium in Tel Aviv but good luck anyway and in Poland on Wednesday. Northern Ireland have pulled off shocks before and I think this England team is over-rated.
realistically no one expects us to win but as long as we give it a good go and don't collapse then i think most supporters will be reasonably happy.
you never know, with a bit of luck we could give them a scare and maybe cause an upset. ;)
Best of luck Northern Ireland. I would just love to see ye beat them. Its going to be very tough for ye. Do yourselfs proud anyway.
You must be a very poor player so. :DQuote:

Best of luck to N. Ireland for Sats. game i hope you pull off a shock result. :)
a draw would even be considered a shock i reckon ;)
A million to one :D .Quote:

Its a shame Northern Ireland will get thumped, as a matter of interest how will England be recieved by the "fans"?
