Northern Ireland vs Finland

[Guest Hatchet]

It's 1 - nil to Norn Iron at half time, Sir David Healy on his 50th appearance.

 

Sami's played the first 45mins for the Finns and doesn't seem to be stretching himself too much, couple of interceptions, but other than that not too much else. Just doesn't look the same Hyypia playing for Finland which is understandable.

 

Hopefully he'll come off at half time for a nice rest and Norn Iron will get what would so far be a deserved win.

 

C'mon Norn Iron!!!!!

Was that Healy's 20th goal? That's a great fecking record.

Yep doing well - Healy took his goal well.

He has katlick genes

Funnily enough...I've had reason to be acquainted with a few members of his family, though not the man himself. There's a lot of mental illness in the males in that family line, that's all I can say...hope our greatest ever goalscorer doesn't end up with the same problem.

[Guest Hatchet]

Get in!

 

2:0

 

18 Year old Kyle Lafferty with a good header following a great cross from Steve Jones on the right. Promising performance considering we've alot of our main players off the park now.

 

C'mon!

 

s***!

 

2:1

 

Good finish by the finns, Hyypia's limping apparently although it doesn't seem to be serious.

 

Hope we can hold on now.

what's the ratio of headers?

[Crazy Horse]

About the same as shots from outside the box.

[Guest Hatchet]

Hyypia has been subbed now, 80th minute.

 

Looked a bit off the pace at times but had a good run out and should be sharper for it.

[Guest Hatchet]

Full time finished 2:1. Great result and good confidence builder for the Iceland game in a few weeks. Considering we had Steve davis and Damien Johnson missing from the midfield and Aaron Hughes, Healy, and Quinn subbed before they pulled one back the lads done well to hang on. Couple of promising youngsters there as well. All in all very good warm-up and our first away win for 26 months.

That was his 50th cap as a red by the way
