and another. boom boom!

ckever? Is that in the dictionary?

for readers of the thread knotty has been away looking up the word minnow

With a name like Raj, shouldn't you be following cricket?

just giving my view based on football results.

So lets go back to my original question. What happened last time Spain and England played in Belfast?

What happened to England in the last dozen or so major tournaments? Embarrassed? Probably shouldn't bother competing by your logic.

I do realism that this kid is seeking attention. I don't understand why someone goes through life with the aim of convincing the world he is a díck.

If these minnows weren't allowed in this stage of qualifying then England would have no wins right now as the only teams you have beat are Moldova and San Marino, so you should count yourself lucky they are allowed in.

No you shouldn't as each country should have 'The Dream' of success.

Also, wouldn't this be ongoing, as you put one lot of minnows in their separate groups so there would be another lot of minnows, as they would be bottom of what ever group they were in, hardly ever winning a match.

ie The FA Cup, in round 1 there are minnows, then in round 3, some clubs that have qualified from round 2 who weren't classed as minnows in previous rounds would now be.

fa cup great example

the minnows have to play out lots of rounds before the big boys get involved

belmonty your question was answered. freak results don't stop northern Ireland being a pointless part of the qualifying group
