man in the middle Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 great to hear northern Ireland playing the national anthem at the start of the game they are truly the only country proud to be British. They've played very well first half definitely my 2nd team. Who's yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gasbuster Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 My ancestry of course, confirms N.I. as my second team. Delighted they have qualified, a more honest bunch of lads you won't find. No prima donnas in this team ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Good on them for making the finals but God they lack so much quality, can't see them scoring a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very difficult for the lads in this group. I always thought their best hope would be to finish 3rd, and hopefully that would be enough to get out of the group.

Cotham Brow Red Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Sadly for North. Men against boys Im afraid. Germany and Ukraine to come. Oh dear. Saying that great to see they travelled. Good passionate lot those lads. Fair dues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany will beat them and it probably won't be enough even if they finish 3rd with 3 points against Ukraine. Footballs a funny game though, maybe the Germans will have an off game!

MichaelRobartes Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Thought NI did well considering the gulf in quality between the two sides. Restricted Poland to relatively few chances. They will struggle to score but have done exceptionally well to qualify and will hopefully enjoy every moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One BCFC Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Northern Ireland 2nd team for sure. Only other Home Nation who dont passionately hate us from my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Was at the game in Nice today. Old town was bedlam before hand, but not a whiff of trouble. Great atmosphere in the ground too. Better team, by a long shot, won. Spotted the Gas flag down in the N. Ireland end. Only beer being sold in the ground is 0.5% Carlsberg at EUR6.50/pint, yet still long queues for it. Beggars belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs4Red Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Thought they were extremely poor and negative today. Didn't look like scoring. All that effort to get to the tournament you may aswell go out having a go surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to read that, but neither Poland (unless playing against Germany or other Eastern/Balkan countries) nor NI have a history of gratuitous violence. 2. Unfortunately, this is extremely common in France, especially at the Stade de France - and, worst of all, there appears to be no indication that the beer is not really 'beer'.

To be fair to the organisers re (2), there is a big "0.5%" on top the beer tent canopy and, I think, on the caps the serving staff are wearing.

cider-manc Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 I was slap bang in the middle of the Northern Ireland end. Bloke next to me was in tears at the national anthem as it meant so much to him just to be there. Had a grand day chatting to them all and loved the constant noise (even after they had lost the game). They had a great chant about not being Brazil but I couldn't work out the rest of the words... There were several verses and then its chorus was; "We're not Brazil we're Northern Ireland. We're not Brazil we're Northern Ireland. We're not Brazil we're Northern Ireland. Bur it's all the same to me! (ulster!!)" Anyone know the other verses? (I may have got the other bit wrong too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
