Northern Ireland were unlucky not to get a draw, for they hit the post twice.

That is if you could actually see that happening, because Windsor Park was so fog bound last night.

Northern Ireland has now gone six straight games without a goal.

Finland were expected to win this match anyway.

Many of our players weren't playing like Litmanen, Niemi, Saarinen, Pasanen, Tainio etc.

Even the head coach almost missed the match when he fell ill before the departure from Helsinki.

We are now officially the ****test nation in the world. We really need to get a couple of wins. Having said that we were unlucky to lose and why wasn't the game postponed for 30 mins coz of the fog.

We want George back!:rolleyes:

Just think of it this way. You lost only 1-0 while England lost by a larger margin, 3-1!

So you're better than England…
or maybe not.
