How did NIreland not win!

Just watched highlights of the Norths embarrassing scrambled late draw against Azerbaijan there on BBC!

Was it really that one sided!!

I counted at least 7 clear cut chances that NIreland should have put away! Reminded me of the time Ireland drew 0-0 away to Lichenstein!!

Spare a thought for Michael O'Neill!! I hope he doesn't have a cat because the poor animal will be kicked up and down the hallway of his house tonight!

You may ask why this is in the Rep of Ireland board! Simple it's because I'm banned from posting in the NIreland board!!

Imagine celebrating a last minute equalizer at home to Azerbaijan. David Healy of all people. I never even realized he was still playing footie.

Strange thing about NI is they’ll probably go to Russia and win!

They only seem to turn it on against the big boys which is still better than us, we never play well against anyone

Difference is Rover we always seem to get the points against the minnows!
Irish and British Football is falling rapidly behind the standards been set by the good continental sides.

Armchair, seeing as its the off-season for our domestic game/ international team, and most 606 pubs/restaurants/shebeens have shut down till spring, let me fire this one out there.. Why on earth would M.O.N. kick a cat around, when he himsel...... ?

Out of frustration obviously!! You only had to look at his reaction on the sideline when Baird missed when it was easier to score last night!!

Poor finishing last night. Not a hope anyway of qualifying for the WC, but we should be beating teams like this at home.

We play well against the big boys most of the time , so frustrating.

I suppose the fact ye created enough chances to hammer them is a positive to take away Alex. No consolation obviously !!
O'Neill will get the best out of your side yet

McAuley and Baird missed two sitters, but i suppose your right. At least we created chances.

How did your boys play last night? Didnt see any of the game at all. I know the score but didnt see any of it

We didnt do great to be honest Alex!

That said we have a legitimate penalty claim turned down after a few minutes and who knows how the match could have turned out had we scored that!!

Then we went back to our old habit of defending too deep and the Greeks took the lead!!

Passed the ball around well and had the majority of possesion in the second half for once.

Lets see if Traps goes back and uses the old and failed reliables for the match away to Sweden in March!!
