Corners nearly as bad

Brady's free kicks are shite

Christ almighty what are we at??

Jaysus comedy defending, lucky Lewandowski strayed offside

That ball looks like a piece of rhubarb rock

Embarrassing from Giles and Dunphy, they clearly haven't a clue

Trimble?

Adams??

Good article showing the opinion in Belfast

I think the photo at the top of the article speaks volumes.

T'would be a gas if RoI qualified, the two "Irelands" are drawn in the same group, play somewhere like Nice and the two sets of supporters arrive in 40deg heat in mid June.  Mix in a load of cheap red wine and sit back and watch!

I note the final is on 10 July, NI can win the Euros and still could be back for the 11th night bonfires!

Sorry lads haven't had time to read the thread or catch up on the footage from last night but was hoping someone could summarise what Dunpys points where before the game and then after the game. Thanks

Germany don't have a Wes Hoolahan and Wes is his love child.

Other than that he turned his negative comments against past performances and team selections where the management and team didn't have the courage to go after similar results.

He was delighted otherwise.

He also claimed the North's qualification saying it was a great night for Irish football!

Do you know what the best thing is about this result I dont have to read another Jack Grealish story on the RTE website lol (for now anyway)

No loss...Grealish wouldn't get on that team!

[I think today's team had 9 out of 11 born in NI]

Well done indeed. Scored a lot of goals and they did the business. Local lad McGinn played his part and i'm proud of him.

I remember 82 and 86 and the buzz was great, even if I was a lad.......

Listening to the radio for the game, and the fans are fair belting out Sweet Caroline and The road to Amarillo.........

No Sash or Billy Boys?

Kind of seems that this is what you would like to hear.

You lot are sticklers for tradition so it would a shame for youse to shun your past now.

Ah now, that's a shit argument. And it doesn't reflect well on progressive nationalism. If you provide proof those sectarian songs exist in 2015 @ Windsor Park then you're correct .

If not, it comes across a bit plastic and tired.

Fair play.  Good point, well made.  No sectarianism at WP these days.  Once we sack off GSTQ, or at the very least sing another anthem alongside it like the rugby, hopefully we will attract more nationalist fans.  I think today's team had 9 out of 11 born in NI, so be good if everyone could get behinf local lads doing well.

Even bigger achievement when you consider that 11 out of 11 of the players are shite!

Joking aside, well done to NI, they were given a kind draw for once and took advantage.  Fantastic achievement to top the group with the scant resources available.  Classic case of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.  As another poster said I don't think many teams will want to draw them.

Dunno if someone of my generation and background will actively "support" them, but maybe I'll watch from behind the sofa!

What's French for traditional route??
