RedRob72 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Thrilled to see Northern Ireland advance. Did what they realistically needed to do against Germany today and didn't need to wait until tomorrow to get their reward. Fantastic. Am I correct in thinking Northern Ireland need a third place qualifier from group E to avoid France? General consensus in the bar last night (lads that know better than I), after qualification confirmed that the most likely outcome would be France in Lyon on Saturday!?

As far as I can tell (but I'm not at all confident) it will be France if whichever of Sweden/Belgium/Republic of Ireland finish third don't qualify, or Wales if they do. So in all likelihood it will be France, but there's a moderate chance of it being Wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Well, singing it is frowned upon, I just wondered if signing it was equally beyond the pale. Police under fire for arresting deaf man for signing Police officers who mistook a deaf man's frantic signing for rude gestures have been criticised by magistrates for arresting both him and his brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Wilkos Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Has anyone heard that new chant from the NI fans: "Will Grigg is on fire, your defence is terrified!" It's pretty catchy and funny haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Mcgovern really has exceeded all expectations. The St Johnstone fans must be seething. Not really. A former St Johnstone goalkeeper has just put in a man of the match performance against Germany. I'm pretty chuffed tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Why, for doing better than Northern Ireland against Poland and Germany? Surely this just proves that we were in a tougher group and comparisons are utterly pointless You didn't do better than Northern Ireland because you didn't qualify, mainly down to the fact that you didn't win a single away game, apart from a sojourn in Gibraltar. Even so, you lost to Germany by a single goal, twice. We lost by this margin also. Those sorts of comparisons are pointless as tournament football is different. Scotland SHOULD be doing better than Northern Ireland, but I do not see any great progress under Chesney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chlamydia Kid Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Northern Ireland are 3/1 to win on sat. That's a huge price. They are above Wales in the Fifa rankings and Wales are absolutely nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are above Wales in the Fifa rankings and Wales are absolutely nothing special. Neither are Northern Ireland! But if the Ukraine Northern Ireland turn up, I think we're* in with a chance. * I think I'm allowed to say "we" having lived here for 43 years. Whenever the qualifying round was taking place I hoped NI would do well, but I didn't think they'd qualify, far less top the group. In the actual Euros I was hoping they wouldn't lose all 3 games, never mind qualify. Northern Ireland have done brilliantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
