Can I just say that Northern Ireland erupted last night, it was the greatest night of football here in over a quarter of a century.
Plus the defeat over the English makes it THAT much sweeter. The best team won on the night. Sickened !!!

glad to hear that for you. although many other people in the forum are not too happy.
No, considering the fact that I've returned home to Belfast for the Summer that would be kind of hard, wouldnt it?!!?Originally Posted by Peerzy
@maebach - Well its their fault isnt it, for believing in a lifeless team that gets beat by Northern Ireland. Everyone seems to take it away from us - that they lost the game. DONT THINK SO. We won it.
Wales had some fantastic wins a couple of years ago with Sparky at the helm. It was a good time to be a Welsh football fan, I watched some great games at the Millenium Stadium and had a few quality nights out with my mates in the Cardiff pubs.
Really tho' - it means fuck all unless you qualify.
I REALLY wouldnt say it means fuck all to beat England for the first time on home soil for 78 years. Quite the opposite. You think we give a fuck if we qualify for the world cup? We all know we wont, its the fact we beat the English.Originally Posted by manker

You say that yet you also say this:Originally Posted by crazy_billy_batsNow, correct me if I'm wrong but a one off victory means a lot less, in footballing sense, than qualification to a major tournament.Originally Posted by crazy_billy_bats
You mean it in a patriotic way, not a footballing way.
If I'm wrong and this victory is singularly indicative of a whole new era in which NI will become a footballing force, then feel free to correct me.
If not then just admit that it's good excuse for a piss up and that it's nice to have the bragging rights for once.
I didnt get pissed at all. I just enjoyed it. I think you are taking this a bit too seriously mate. Calm the fuck downOriginally Posted by manker
