RoystonFoote'snephew Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Held Italy to a 0-0 draw tonight meaning the European Champions gave to enter the play-offs. Didn't concede a single goal at home in their WCQ group. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 They’re great to watch, have limited squad options, loads of L1 & Championship players, & a brilliant home crowd. Never give up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never give up. Yes, I flicked between N Ireland, Scotland and England, but N Ireland was by far the best watch, They really had Italy rattled at times.

Disappointing that we did not win that group but hopefully being a seeded team in the play offs should give us a good chance of being at the World Cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcredandwhite Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 They seem to raise their games against the historically 'better' sides - they've given Germany a few tough runouts over time. Well played to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall Germany making the 2002 final after failing to win the group in the qualifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working at the BBC at the time and had only the month before gone to BBC Belfast with work. Lovely bunch, took us out, showed us the sights. Drinks were drunk, banter was had. It was of little surprise a few days after the game when i got an envelope via internal post from BBC Belfast. Inside was an A4 print of Healy celebrating his goal and on the back was a message that read... "David ****ing Healy!!! Stick that up your arse you English manual manipulator!!!" I stuck it up by my desk. Often got asked why it was there but only a few knew of the profanity it hid! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
