Howay Man 0 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Thought this game was a cracking advert for football. Probably the best match i have watched this season. Not many world class players on view but the game was end to end and full of attacking football. Also the Northern Ireland fans were terrfic, just a pity st james's wasn't like that.

spongebob toonpants 3585 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Dont know about terrific, booing Celtic players and singing Rule Brittannia. A bit too sectarian for my tastes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit too sectarian for my tastes 44008[/snapback] Aye, they might have went over the top a bit but at least they backed their team. I haven't seen a home british crowd like that for many years. It seemed as though they had all their singers in one end, behind the goal. Wouldn't mind seeing a singing section at st james's with everyone who wants to sing in one end too create a better atmosphere, but it will never happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chip2388 0 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Should point out 10times better atmosphere in that game over the one at Old Trafford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 They created an electric atmosphere when they turned England over too. It unusual to hear such a noisey crowd in football these days sadly. Cracking game, some good first time finishing on show. I often wish our players would 'have a dig' instead of trying to find an angle or picking out a pass and losing the initiative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 The underdogs are always noisey, look at FA Cup games when lower league opposition play a PL side. The fact most of their songs belong in the 80's shows how often they go to games. I mean 'aaaaah bull-shit ah!' ffs! JESUS WEPT! I thought the game was shite 1st half, so I turned it off. Put it back on and it was 2-2 and the remainder of the game was excellent. Looks like it was indeed a cracking second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly 'one for the purists' but neither was the England match which wasn't anywhere near as entertaining. The fans are a bit stuck in the 80's like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut 9 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Keith Gillespie's first international goal for over 11 years. Feck me, that's crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
