NI 3-0 up after 40 minutes. Paddy McNair with an excellent goal there to make it 3.
Think they made 11 changes.Have the Czechs been on the old Budvar since their win against England?
McNair and Dallas would be excellent for us
Why is Davis playing in a meaningless friendly?!
Wants to play every game as going for the all time appearance record.
Are we allowed to like McNair?Dallas would be a cracking option for us, so versatile.

He is one of us.
I thought this had been discussed but had mixed memories of the “outcome”.100%
Do third place teams get a chance of a play off place?Good result, rare away win. Davis, Evans and Cathcart are such good players. I fancy our chances in the play offs.
Do third place teams get a chance of a play off place?
Not by finishing 3rd per say. As it stands it would take a massive amount of shocks to put us out of a play off. If it finished now we would be away to Bosnia for the semi final.

A play off is virtually guaranteed.
Was looking at it and if 4 teams above us in league B fail to qualify, they’ll make up that group which might be ideal.
It’s probably just Iceland in league A failing to qualify so if we are 5th in league B we’d become the 2nd team in their play off group which will be completed by 2 league c teams that are outwith the top 4 play off places in that group.
That’d give us a home semi final against a league C team like Israel, then probably Iceland in the final.
There’s also a reasonable chance we’ll be away to the Republic in Dublin if Bosnia catch Finland in their group, I’d fancy us to beat them and it’d likely be Slovakia or Wales in the final.
Okay, I get the message.
I think we'll allow it

It is so complicated. Looks certain we are in the play offs with a one leg semi on 26th March and a one leg final on 31st March. Who we play and whether home or away is harder to predict especially as UEFA insist on keeping the host nations apart (the same rule that gave us Germany and Netherlands rather than the original team, Republic).
Think I will book cheap flights to Amsterdam and take it from there.
Did something like this not happen with Celtic and McNair in the summer, can vaguely remember it.The story goes that Martin O'Neil and the FAI were trying to poach players from NI who are from Catholic backgrounds to play for them. They assumed that Paddy McNair because of his name he was a left footer but were told by him in no uncertain terms by him of where his loyalties lay.
The IFA should quit the friendly NI v Republic football match over sectarian poaching of players
Over the weekend, Northern Ireland's international football manager, Michael O'Neill, made some forthright remarks about the Republic's policy of poaching young footballers from our underage teams.www.newsletter.co.uk
Certainly doesn’t hide his allegiances on his Instagram,
