Good luck Ulstermen Thread

[spirit_of_93]

Well played Northern Ireland. They are beginning to get nervous not out of this.

 

[blue captain]

C'mon NI..... FFS they cowbells are annoying especially when you're hungover.

 

[Recoba]

Poor conditions are not unique to Britain ! Sports are better played in good conditions. Heavy rain soaked pitches etc take away skill.

aw shut up, obvs i know that it was a reference to the pitch in the 70s and 80s

What a weird message.

Can you still get enjoyment from these games in poor conditions?

 

[DeanCrosskeys]

NI still in this. The Swiss have missed a few half decent chances, if NI get a clear chance they need to take it. Quite a decent game considering its 0-0.

 

[govan86]

45 minutes to go and we are still in it. Let’s give it everything lads. Keep believing.

I preferred "ya plonker"

Definitely.

They should be out of this by now but they are still in there fighting.

With a bit of luck they can do this.

lol im trying not to get into arguements so changed it.

Hopefully “one of those days” for Switzerland and NI sneak through.

Yes, but much prefer good conditions. As long as we win of course.

 

[Superrangers]

Again a two footed challenge from the same player who should have apparently had the red at Windsor Park. Lucky he got the ball but it was still dangerous.

 

[WearsideGallantFew]

Washington needs to wise up and stop giving Switzerland a get out clause. 3 times Switzerland have had nowhere to go at the back and he's strolled across and fouled the centre half.

 

[Superrangers]

What a break from NI. Really unlucky on the header.

 

[Iloverangers87]

This co commentator is absolutely horrendous

 

[BobbyShearer]

Shades of Darcheville in Lisbon with that chance

 

[Superrangers]

Should be a booking there surely for Zaharia?!

 

[BobbyShearer]

That might be the worst throw in ever

 

[giogaddi]

Some job O'Neill has done with such an ordinary group of players. This pitch isn't fit for junior football.

 

[Superrangers]

Great play by Washington but then Saville got it stuck under his feet. The build up deserved a goal.

 

[Deleted member 125]

30 mins to go.

Surely it's time to commit some more bodies forwards?

 

[Superrangers]

You have to say he has gotten the best out of them. Seems that they have a really tight bunch who give their all for each other and the collective is greater than the sum of the parts.

 

[Worthy_Candidate]

That Swiss keeper is top class.

(Hoping that my usual curse will now see him throwing one in!)

 

[BobbyShearer]

Without it being an endorsement of him as our manager, I'd agree.

Not only the results but their composure and attempted ball retention is, for any British side club or country in an away match, remarkable.

No mate they’d be picked off they’re playing to their strengths but for the non penalty they could have taken this to penalties sadly I can’t see them doing it. Such a shame.

Dallas looks burst. The right back has got him on toast.

No idea of the options from the bench though.

It's a gamble to wait until the last ten but the Swiss have shown a bit of nerves especially in front of goal.

 

[irvine96]

Northern Ireland starting to play better.
Is that prick austin mcphee irish?

 

[Arminius]

Come on Northern Ireland.

They look the better side right now.

Hopefully an equalliser on the way

 

[blue captain]

Steve Davis is having a cracking game.

 

[Rick_Sanchez]

No mate they’d be picked off they’re playing to their strengths but for the non penalty they could have taken this to penalties sadly I can’t see them doing it. Such a shame.

I think they would have a chance if they gambled now! Switzerland may create a chance or two but don’t seem to have a player capable of taking one to be quite honest!

 

[Arminius]

I know this has already been discussed, but that is the worst pitch I've seen for an international since the 1970's

 

[TN8]

This has been a great effort by NI to be fair. Really hope they can nick one.

 

[Superrangers]

It’s been the kind of game, despite the lack of goals, that you cannot take your eyes off.

Switzerland, if they were to see it out, will add nothing to the WC.

 

[randomhero]

Come on NI! Would love to see them get a goal and take it to extra time

 

[OneThreeOneTwo]

Except providing UEFA and FIFA somewhere to launder their money

True. I didn’t think of that one!!!

 

[Rangers_2001]

That pitch is dreadful.

 

[Spinning Blue]

It's just not going to happen here is it?

 

[Renoranger]

Go for broke and bring Lafferty on now.

That pitch is dreadful.

Some on here like it

 

[Partickger]

The Swiss captain is a tool.

 

[DavieM]

Forrest Gump has to be one of the biggest cheats in the game right now ...

 

[Arminius]

Come on the Ulstermen.

Intae these coo bell nancy boys. LOL

 

[giogaddi]

Davis should have took that on.

 

[Oduwa]

@Thornliebank_Bear You watching that lump of wood Maggenis?

 

[DeanCrosskeys]

Swiss number 9 has had a made here!

 

[tazzabear]

That Swiss striker is haven’t a nightmare!

 

[Zombierama]

I would take Michael O'Neil as our new manager and he can bring Jordan Jones with him. Far better than Jamie Walker.

 

[Superrangers]

Four words..... Seferovic, banjo, cow’s arse.

 

[DavieM]

Wowsers how has that big striker managed to last the full game??
