Anyway they lost 1-0 to a ridiculous penalty decision.

1:18, the ball was blasted at him from a couple of yards away and he tried to move, no way is that a pen.

In terms of purely football rivalry, for ROI it's England first, then Northern Ireland. That's just how it is. They have a slice of our island and we want it back.

Switzerland vs Northern Ireland, 5pm UK time. 2nd leg, Switzerland 1-0 up.

3-1 Switzerland I think.
I dunno: Danes were the ones more likely to score last night. We never got near the goal, and the one time we did nobody could capitalise. Sure it's good to be at home, but we missed the chance to take an away goal back with us, which could be precious. 1-1 at the Aviva destroys our chances. Maybe if Houlihan and Long are back, who knows, but we're talking days here so that's prob unlikely. Randolph was our MOTM, so what does that tell you?
