Walters around the 2 minute mark is hilarious.

Whats the chant to the tune of Freed from desire?

I'm assuming you're trolling, but in the event that you're not, They're singing " Will Griggs on fire, Your defense is terrified"

Not sure why you assume trolling??

Genuinely curious.

Thanks anyway

Norn.ire winning here doesn't bode well for the Rep chances of getting a third does it?...

The Golden Miller

Cant believe these "norn iron" cnuts are winning. Ukraine don't seem to want to know. Hopefully they get the finger out and bag a few goals

They're doing very well in fairness. Much improved from the first game. Funny considering how critical the TV3 panel were of O'Neill prior to the game.

edit ; And another ex LOI man enters the Euro stage

Tv3 must be sickened that they didn't get an ad break in.

ITV will probably go with the ad break at the scheduled end of play and not allow for the stoppage :pac:

It's probably been the biggest phenomenon of this tournament.

Fair enough, I havent seen it anywhere. musta just missed it. pardon my ignorance.

And suddenly Ukraine get a chance from nowhere...Would love NI to get a second with all this positivity.

They'll have 3 points and would need a result out of the Germany game to contend I would imagine.

3 points is likely good enough for most team to go through in 3rd spot. This win should do them fine.

Yes - if we get three draws, we would have a neutral goal difference, versus a negative one for the North. Anything less for us, and we're probably out anyway.

Need to push out.

But lose two games and end on a negative goal difference would make it a very hard task.

The Golden Miller

Are all positions decided by goal difference or is it head to head and just the competing best 3rd teams are goal difference?

We blew our beans against Sweden. Heading into games against Belgium and Italy, needing at least 3 points, we can kiss our arses goodbye.

Hats off so far to NI. You need at least one win in this competition to stand a chance. Hope they get it.

I'd be surprised if more than 1 team made it with 3 points. At USA 94 4pts was needed to get through in 3rd place.

Good to see pictures of talent in the crowd making a comeback. Has been missed in this tournament.

Within the group it's head to head, 3rd place teams are goal difference.

Belgium don't look too sure of themselves, but yeah, it's an uphill one for us.

Bret Hart

NI taking the piss there.

Mr.Nice Guy

This ref is out of his depth.

awec

What on earth is going on?

AllGunsBlazing

Touch of the John Aldridge about this attempted sub.

Lackey

What was the yellow card for?

R00ster

How can he book Dallas? His number wasn't on the board!

crisco10

25 attempts on goal, not a bad stat!

Bobby Baccala

Time wasting at its finest

Kenjataimu

Reminds me of Aldridge in 94 with that messed up substitution!

Mr.Nice Guy

Ukraine have been woeful today.

murpho999

NI keeper doing well.

Yeah, hard to know if NI were playing silly buggers r the ref had no idea of what was going on and sprayed a yellow card out.

Mr.Nice Guy

LOL Ukraine. Talk about making life difficult.

Fantastic insight from Tv3 there..

"Could Northern Ireland become the second side from the island of Ireland to beat the World Champions in the past 18 months"

So long as we aren't the third, that'd be embarrassing...:rolleyes:
