Kerr's Faroese hold Norn Iron so far: 0-0 HT.

Just watched the last 10mins of first half. Faroes had a couple of half chances.

Development of football starts with kids. Faroes senior football might be well supported but it is not developed to its potential.

But it's no more a restriction than having a close-season is to the Premiership. You say they could train Nov-Mar as well - that's when people play handball.

I'm baffled as to how you can claim that Faroese football "is not developed to its potential" while seemingly not knowing the first thing about the country.

Ni are making heavy weather of getting past the 40 year old Faroe goalkeeper.

Goal for the Faroes

**Noelys Guitar** · 12/10/2010, 4:17 PM

1-0 faroes

**boovidge** · 12/10/2010, 4:18 PM

What a goal! 1-0 Faroes! And Norn Iron had just missed a couple of sitters too...

Why do you think I don't know the first thing about the Faroes?

Meh - Iceland ain't the Faroes!

(Though I didn't know that... And I don't think he actually negated any of the points I made.)

Every point I made re indoor stadium is supported by the ambitions for development as planned by the Faroese FA. Maybe you in your wisdom presume to know what is best for them or presume to know what they actually need for development of football in their country.
