Is that the closest we have had to an all irish born team since the granny rule came in?

9 from 11 Irish born so fairly close to a full XI alright.

10 Irish born players by my count.   Cork is still in Ireland!!. 

[Capt Pat]

After all the belly aching about how we couldn't beat Khazakistan by at least 3 or 4. It turns out they are quite a decent team.

[The Gs Man]

Marc Wilson would be raging if he knew you said he was from Armagh!

[Capt Pat]

The Swedes eventually get a second in injury time.

[SHEEDY]

germans win 2-1 away in austria

[Capt Pat]

Here is a celtic nation that needs a new manager. Serbia 6 Wales 1. Wales with Bale, Ramsey and Joe Allen can't keep up with an average team like Serbia.

England playing like they could care less.

[laoislad]

Was just about to post same re Wales and England.

Northern Ireland 1
Luxembourg 1

Hard luck lads.
Tony Baloney won't be a happy man tonight.

[Captain Obvious]

Michael O'Neill should have stayed with Shamrock Rovers.

That Danny Welbeck dive was outrageous. And the dick of a commentator on ITV was roaring 'It has to be'. Then they showed the replay. At least he had the decency to sound embarrassed, but neither he nor Andy Townsend could make themselves say he dived. I'd say if it was a Ukrainian that dived they'd have to be dug out of the ref.

Should have been a booking for welbeck.shocking dive

What was Stevie G sent off for?

[GalwayBayBoy]

Norn Iron, Scotland, Wales and England almost managing to make Trap's Ireland team look like world beaters.

Young and Rooney teaching him well at OT

[Leo]

It is in Antrim but I suppose a lot of people might consider him to be from the nearest main town which is Lurgan in Armagh. I looked this up.

I am really looking forward to seeing what Brady can do at this level. Hopefully he does well enough to get considered for competitive fixtures.

When I saw that under 21 result in the paper I thought Italy had won only after looking a few hours later did I see we beat the Italy under 21s away from home???

Is Marc Wilson not from Aghagallon in the glorious one true county of Antrim??

Aghagallon had a Gaelic football team that played for a short while in the Down leagues in early 60's, according to my Armagh "friend".
