    Yes I have often wondered how our Crusaders supporter can immediately hone in on any adverse comment on the North
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Said algorithm must be moving about as freely as Aaron Hughes then- given that it last prompted me to post in April...

    Any other lame efforts, if not see you next month?

    The North are not a very good team - full of heart to be sure and fight to the last, got to give them credit for that. But they are not a very good team when it comes to playing cohesive football. They can defend but have a hard time putting the ball in the net. Does that remind you of any other team on the island? We really need to band together and develop a youth system which teaches kids to play proper football. But I suppose that remains just a pipe dream at this point.

    Er, that was my point. We're both similarly mediocre. Broadly it's down not to the border in Ireland, but the lack of one (in football terms) between you and England. Almost all your players go or come from there and grow up in their system with all its bad habits.

    We've matched or outscored Czechia, Romania, Hungary, Norway and Greece in the last two series. Tidy enough eh?
