N.I. Vs England

BrookieD · 07-09-2005 9:41pm #1

Holy ****, as a life long England fan that was **** the team was **** and Sven should be sacked, fair play to NI who deserved the game and played there socks off.. well done N.I. no complaints

bizmark · 07-09-2005 9:44pm

Lol cant wait to watch your on sky sports if they lose should be class

TwoShedsJackson · 07-09-2005 9:44pm

Quite possibly the funniest result ever. When Sven was reduced to bringing on Owen Hargreaves to try and rescue the game, that's where I had to be carted off in genuine hysterics. Quality

jubbly · 07-09-2005 9:44pm

it would be hilarious if we didnt lose

KevIRL · 07-09-2005 9:45pm

England steeped that Austria only drew in Azerbaijan tonight.

It was funny England were a joke of a team. The only player worthy to play a game was Wright-Phillips. the rest were a joke

MrJoeSoap · 07-09-2005 9:57pm

What were the odds on the North winning? I heard talk of 25-1, although I'm not too sure.

acquiescefc · 07-09-2005 9:58pm

Rooney is a feckin idiot. Who does he think he is. He should talk with his feet and not gob off. Now hes booked, well done.

Fair play to Beckham, at least he tried, some people couldnt even be bothered.

I agree with the first post, N.I. deserved it on merit.

Guy:Incognito · 07-09-2005 10:03pm

Jesus sven is going to do well to talk this one away. Hes going to be the master of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. They need to be brave abd get rid of him for the good of the team. They have the potential to be a genuine world class team but sven seems determind to **** it up for them.

They need a strong manager with a will to pick the right team not the best eleven players. They could really do with a roy keane too, Carrick seems to be the closest they have. He needs to become a celebrity like Gerrard or Lampard, maybe then he'll get a proper run and they can be a proper team.

Guy:Incognito · 07-09-2005 10:05pm

On a different note, holy crap, scotland won. Are they actually going to pull it off?

He really does need to learn to shut up. Plus his petulant (sp?) arm leading jump was very similar to what mido got sent off for last week. Very childish.

Johnny_the_fox · 07-09-2005 10:10pm

Great result for the north.

Healy does it again... legend.

Lee Dixon (on the bbcni) kept calling northern ireland - 'ireland' so at least one irish team can win.

<also i was waiting for them to play the 'national anthem' twice ... it didnt happen.

gimmick · 07-09-2005 10:37pm

The tabloids should be hilarious tomorrow.

England in their last 2 games were awful, and IMO, were very very lucky to beat the Welsh.

What a way for Svens undefeated streak in qualifiers to go!!! May the witch hunt begin.

[Jackass] · 07-09-2005 10:39pm

Hahahaha....

Where are all the "England are world class", "Rooney is the next pele", "Beckham is world class winger", "they might win the world cup" lads now???

Look at their performances and results over the last few years....they're sh!te and over-rated, and this kind of result was a long time coming. Their 3rd seed team couldn't even beat azerbajan....if they had a group that was only half retarded they wouldn't even qualify....they're in a group full of retard teams...and they'll probably only make the play-off.

jubbly · 07-09-2005 10:44pm

Sven must stay !! we all want England to keep losing

applehunter · 07-09-2005 10:54pm

England are ****e and so are Northern Ireland

MrJoeSoap · 07-09-2005 10:56pm

I agree it's funny. But we have to say well done to Northern Ireland.
I don't think we can laugh at any team losing tonight, when we are forth in our group and we lost tonight too.

England and Northern Ireland!

What's the difference? They both sing the same national anthem :rolleyes:

Big Ears · 07-09-2005 11:36pm

Well , done to Northern ireland and David Healy in peticular he often plays up front alone for Northern Ireland with no support and little quality of service to him yet he still manages to score goals and is NI's record goalscorer (19 goals ?) the man really is quality .

LFCFan · 07-09-2005 11:47pm

Sven seems to have some sort of hold over the British Media. He's had 2 very public affairs, has led some very talented players to mediocrity and he's foreign. Previous 'English' managers have suffered from the press for a lot less. I think it's hilarious though. If the England team had the same menatality as the Irish they'd be World Cup winners more than once.

Northern Ireland wear green and have Ireland in their name.
England don't.
Some would say that's reason enough to support them.

Do you not consider the Six Counties as Irish?
Who would you say Martin O'Neill or Gerry Armstrong were cheering for in that game?

From flicking between the channels tonight I didn't see one Rangers shirt in Windsor Park. Pity I can't say the same for those muppets in Lansdowne who feel more loyalty to a Scottish club than their own country and can't keep their mouths shirt when an ex-Rangers player takes the field.

applehunter · 07-09-2005 11:55pm

The Northern Irish team unfortunately don't represent the 6 counties of Northern Ireland.

Not after what happened to Neil Lennon. :mad:

True, Well done to Northen Ireland, they deserved it, but there's a slight diference in losing to France (with a few players in the team with world cup and european cup winners medals), and losing to N.Ireland. (world ranked 116...107 places behind France). Also, we'll still make the play-offs from a imeauserably tougher group.

The actions of a minority who boo/abuse players shouldn't be used to condemn the whole support. I know a number of guys who work for the same company as me who continue to attend N.I. games and they are Catholics. They simply support the country of their birth. The fact that it may be a statelet formed out of bigotry is not the point - and the Republic does not represent them either.

Booing Rangers/ex Rangers is no different. The fact is that some N.I. fans booed their own player because of the club he played for, not because of his religion - just some of the aforementioned ROI fans do.

applehunter · 08-09-2005 12:09am

Why hasnt there been outrage over Lennon's position?

The England team threatened to go on strike over Rio Ferdinand missing a drug test.

What is worse a death threat or a missed drug test?

BTW, those people who boo Rangers players at "Republic" matches are sad pathetic ****ers. I agree with you there.

However I know 2 lads from Derry that totally turned away from the N.I soccer team after what happened Lennon.

knobbles · 08-09-2005 1:25am

think i've supported england on more occasions over the years than norn iron
but was delighted to hear they won. biggest cheer of the night when the latest score flashed across the screen in the pub tonight(just after henry's goal).
Just watched the game and they deserved it,
well done norn iron!!

not too worried about the french result, we'll beet the swiss at home and get a play-off against some beatable teams like turkey, norway, slovakia or england

exactly. Look at what the england side did when ferdinand was messed about with his drugs. They all striked. What did northern irish players do ? continue on as usual. That attitute alone is a fúcking disgrace. No wonder nationalists cant support norn iron.

Norn Iron may have won last night and we lost but at the end of the day we are going to qualify and they havent a chance

I'm sorry, what Ireland team have you been watching in the last few games?

jubbly · 08-09-2005 11:00am

yes I have seen them all,

time to be positive now.

LegacyUser · 08-09-2005 11:34am

Does anyone have a clip or a link to the Healy goal? I hear it was a sweet strike. Google has turned up nothing.

ianomccabe · 08-09-2005 11:35am

they were 25-1.

i stuck a fiver on them before the game.....easy money!

Thanx 4 The Fish · 08-09-2005 12:04pm

I stuck a fiver on them and Scotland double, looking at a 450ish return.

Perfect summary. It really irritated me that so many people wherer I was watching were cheering when they scored. I had to push a few of them out of the way so I could continue to watch our match.

I would have loved to see England put six past them.

All I think of when I think of Northen Irish football is the match in Windsor
Park when trying to qualify for USA '94. We were treated like ****. Then you
have the Neil Lennon incident. Or the constant sectarianism at Windsor Park. Or
how about the fact Northen Irish football is so bigoted that Derry play in our
league. I'm so far from a Republican it's not even funny but how anyone can
support Northern Ireland is beyond me.

A sad state of affairs. Makes me angry about last night

Just thinking about the north, they have nothing up there. Its a desolte place with little hope for anyone. No decent jobs, high violance, religous hatred etc, stupid parades, they have nothing else. They are never going to make a world cup again so you kinda feel sorry for them. All they can ever hope to do is pull of an amazing victory when a big team isnt on top form and cheer on who ever is playing Ireland.

Big Ears · 08-09-2005 4:00pm

Anyone else hear the story on the radio this morning of NI fans from the Shankhill road going to the match . They were listening to the fields of Athenry and republican songs on the way to Windsor...........they're not all bigots .

Soccer predictions(year 2) : Ireland to top their qualifiying group , Shelbourne for the Eircom League , Chelsea to retain the Premiership , Bryan Robson to be sacked as a Premiership manager . Andy Johnson to disappear into the abyss by the middle of the season .

not going to well so far

on the contrary , 3 of them are on course to happen .
Are all Irish (Republic of Ireland) people bigots because of those idiots who boo former Rangers players when they play against Ireland ?........obviously not and most of us are against those people . Sure there is probably a higher percentage of bigotry from the NI fans but I honestly don't beleive 100% are like that .

Depends on what you define as 'the Abyss' though.

Just to clarify, were you saying that because people showed up to the Northern Irish game last night listening to Republican songs that they aren't bigots?

I reckon people sometimes class all Irish ballads as 'Republican Songs'.
The Fields of Athenry is about a guy who is sent to Australia as a convict for stealing to feed his family.
Fair enough he rebelled and they cut him down but he he is not singing about any great victory over or harrowing loss to any other section of the community in 1850s East Galway.!!!

What makes people think the Fields of Athenry is a republican song are those idiots who like to shout 'Sein Fein, IRA' in the middle of it, and they are no better than any bigots at Windsor park.

MrJoeSoap · 08-09-2005 5:06pm

To be blatantly honest, I couldn't care less about what the Fields of Athenry is about. Its a Republican song and nobody can deny that. I'm sure there were the "Sinn Fein / IRA" chants thrown in last night.

por · 08-09-2005 5:20pm

I know that this is totall OT but i have to post

MrJoeSoap wrote:

If you care less about that it is about how can you know if it's a Republican song or not.

'Get out ye Black n Tans' is a Republican song, 'Sean South ' is a republican song, you can tell by the lyrics but the Fields of Athenry is not a republican song, I'm sure Ian St John cringes evertime he hears it refereed to as a republican song and hear the iditioc 'Sein fein, IRA' thrown in.

You know why so many people think it's a Republican Song, or like to think it's a republican song
Cos it was first sung at football matched by Celtic fans
Celtic = Irish, Catholic, anti Rangers = Republican = Up the RA !!!!!

He has a hold over the FA who are, to a man, cowards. The press would keel haul him from Lands Ends to Hadrians Wall in a flash.
