QuoteSad but true. They haven't better players but they're a hell of a lot better organized.
In all fairness, if Ireland were to come up against them.....as much as it pains me.....i think they'd be beaten! Its a sad state of affairs but full credit has to be given to Sanchez.

lads the last time i checked The North was still in Ireland and Northern Ireland were still an Irish representitive team, cant you be happy for them? in a few years we could have 1 league and 1 international team in this country, would it pain you to see a 32 county Irish team do well
back on topic of course they would beat us their unbelievably well organised, and every player actually wants to play and play with pride at that

No!!!
Congragulations to NI posters.Doing incredibly well and another great result.
If I was an NI supporter I would worship Healey but if I was a Leeds supporter
I would hate him.
Fair play to Northern Ireland - a great result for them. Just reading through the Swedish papers this morning and they are bitterly disappointed with Sweden's performance but that's just sour grapes IMO and it takes away from the fact that Northern Ireland were fully deserving of their win.
Just on a side note; the Swedish goalie Issaksson had said in the build up to the match that all of Healy's previous goals for Northern Ireland were lucky shots. I'd suppose his face is covered in egg this morning.
I have said it before and I'll say it again, their fans are heroes, for instance, last night they were still in the ground over 30 minutes after full time chanting!
Who Cares?!
Keep dreaming pal.lads the last time i checked The North was still in Ireland and Northern Ireland were still an Irish representitive team, cant you be happy for them? in a few years we could have 1 league and 1 international team in this country, would it pain you to see a 32 county Irish team do well

The Hallion Battalion Molests football.:D
Even during our darkest days of Sammy Mac when we havent scored in a very long time(too much pain to pull the facts out) we where still singing our hearts out, although in smaller numbers.
Unfortunatly now that we have become a good side it is harder for the regular NI supporter that supported the NI team before they became respectable because of the bandwagon jumpers.
Although we haven't been awarded best supporters in Europe for nothing
We aren't a great side with great players. But we have more heart than any other country and we have shown that when we have played countries of a far higher standard.
I still don't expect to qualify, still a long way to go but we are at least in with a shout this time round.

Two class finishes by Healy. Has he played in the Premiership?
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
He played a single game for Man Utd in the Premiership.
But he has mostly played in the lower leagues.
Looks like he could be on his way to Ibrox. I think that would be a good move for him, he would be playing regular and would be scoring regular. he would also win a few things and play in Europe.
If he was going to sign for a Premiership club, he would be playing in a high standard, but would he be at a club that could achieve any silverwear?(Not that Rangers are winning anything lol)

Not if their fans keep doing the red hand of Ulster salute *cough*, and posting their singing exploits on youtube

They do have a few knuckle draggers. Just like other teams, but most other teams supporters arent stupid enough to make such antics public
Although I dont think the Red Hand salute is the problem. It is the sectarian singing that is the problem. Glasgow Rangers explained to UEFA and they have accepted the explination

Ah come on now, dont tell me you go along with the whole red hand of ulster salute explanation??? There must have been alot of ulster fans in germany in the early 20th century so

I never heard of it before until they started calling it that. And how come the norn iron fans dont partake in this salute???
P.S. Its good to see another former Sligo Rovers manager doing well, even if it is with "the wee six"

To be honest, I'm not a Ranger man, I've never been to Ibrox and I have no interest in Scottish Football. So I don't know what their different gestures are about.Ah come on now, dont tell me you go along with the whole red hand of ulster salute explanation???

I do know that you cannot be a Britishman and salute the Nazis at the same time. That's why I would have believed there explanation.
But I think we are starting to tread on thin ice here. Because there has been incidents from both the Old firm that cannot be tolerated or accepted, so I wouldn't be that quick to jump on either team.
Oh and the Sligo Rovers remark - It's went right over my head lol.

Thats the thing about Rangers and Celtic.What part of Ulster is Glasgow in again
You have Glasgow Rangers - Ulstermen wannabees
You have Glasgow Celtic - Irish wannabees.
They should just accept they are bloody Scottish.
I've no time for either team, both teams with a large portion of there support drivin by sectarianism.
I live in Belfast, Shankill Road. When there is trouble with Ardoyne just say, all you see is the Ardoyne ones bedecked in Celtic gear and the Shankill ones bedecked in Rangers gear.
Anyway, this is going completely off topic.
Well done Northern Ireland. You have done us proud again.
The Hallion Battalion Molests football.:D
I believe your two next games are against Liechenstein and Latvia.Win those two and your on 19 points.The "bigger" teams are going to start feeling the pressure so you never know.Your seeding for the WC will improve as well.
Why couldn't a British person salute the Nazis? You've obviously never seen a picture of one of Oswald Moseley's rallies.
