A Wee Spot in Europe

Thierry Henry, Paul Scholes, Roy Carroll!

34-year old Carroll Olympiakos and is now keen to resume his international career! (His last match was in 2006 and he later asked not to be considered)

Chris Baird scored his first 2 Fulham goals last night – in the first 10 minutes of their 2-0 victory over Stoke. Both from long range!

Northern Ireland to the core

New song – pity about the fake commentary at the end!

Poland 1 – 1 Northern Ireland

Disappointed after a draw away to Poland! Suppose it’s possibly a good sign! But tonight could have been so much more.

NI, finally free of George McCartney thanks (and I mean thanks!) to an injury that will also keep him out of Wednesday, pretty much dominated the first half. Great composed finish by Lafferty. Header off the line by left back Evans – don’t think George would have got that! Also what I think is our strongest midfield – again injury meant Nigel didn’t have to decide whether to play Brunt or not.

Then in the second half it all went wrong. Laffs off injured. Paterson comes on and misses two great chances. The first was unforgivable, Evans had ran half the pitch with the ball and was still steaming forward, Healy was there too, and the Burnley striker opted to shoot from outside the box with his left foot. Then, moments later he was clean through, looked certain to score but didn’t even hit the target. Might not get a Burnley shirt after all!

We’re still very much in the mix, especially given the other result tonight, but a win would have left us in a great position to possibly even win the group. But let’s not be greedy I suppose!

BBC: Gillespie maintains NI ambitions

Meanwhile, Royston has left Derby by mutual consent, despite having 2 years left on his contract, and is expected to sign for Danish side Odense

Carroll waves goodbye to British shores (either that or he’s going for a cross)

And finally, I’ve now added all the archives for the site back to the start (March 2004), missing a few posts around Dec 07-Jan 08. I declared in Feb 08 that I’d have the archives up in a week or so, but better late than never! AWS: No Jonny-come-lately!

Also, Joel Taggart has recently started a blog. It’s promises to be both about domestic and international football. He’s linked here so thought I’d reciprocate! Looking forward to his first post about the Stute!
