Kid in the Riot Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Best of luck to them tonight against the Greeks.Need the win really as don't want to be going to Finland in the last game needing a point or 3.Greece have had a terrible campaign so far but N Ireland have several injuries / suspensions to key players tonight: Lafferty, Evans, Baird in particular.Be great to have them with us in France next summer.

Phileas Fogg Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 If we play then in 2016 will GSTQ be the anthem for both sides pre match and done twice?Good point, I guess it would be done twice.Best of luck to all home nations, mainly as there's more chance of England playing them.

North London Red Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 If we play then in 2016 will GSTQ be the anthem for both sides pre match and done twice?When we played Northern Ireland home and away in the 2006 world cup qualifiers, GSTQ was only played once at Old Trafford, and once at Windsor Park. When we played Liechtenstein in the Euro 2004 qualifiers, the same tune was played twice in both games (the Liechtenstein national anthem has the same melody as GSTQ - Scotland fans booed it when they played Liechtenstein a few years back).

Lrrr Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 In qualifying I like to see all the home nations doing well unless they're in our group. So hopefully as many make it to the euros as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we did draw them does anyone know if it would that be the first time at a major tournament both teams had identical national anthems? In qualifying I like to see all the home nations doing well unless they're in our group. So hopefully as many make it to the euros as possible. I'd quite like it if all of them did well- except Scotland. I would love it if everyone qualified except Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope Wales somehow manage to grab defeat from the jaws of victory, glad the Jocks didn't make it and hope republic screw up as well! Just my opinion but after living amongst our near neighbours for nigh on 10 years I know they would be the same with us just a little more vitriolic!
