Will be good to see them there, like. Can't say I'm looking forward to seeing Duff, Whelan and Andrews in the same midfield however.

Excited as fuck for the draw now, I very vaguely recall the excitement around Euro 88 but this to all intents and purposes will be the first Euros that I've seen us take part in.

 

Gonna be at home for a few months doing absolutely nothing next summer so this is gonna be just class.

 

Should be an absolutely cracking few days on the piss. :)

NORTHERN IRELAND FOOTBALL chiefs and supporters have so far kept quiet on one former internatonal’s plea to drop national anthem God Save The Queen.

 

Former Windsor Park favourite Paul McVeigh urged the IFA to, as he sees it, encourage Catholics to play for the North by scrapping the use of the ‘English anthem’.

 

A spate of players born north of the border have declared for the Republic in recent years with the list including Manchester United’s Darron Gibson, Shane Duffy, Dan Kearns, and James McClean.

 

In a interview with the Belfast Telegraph, McVeigh insists that a new anthem and a move away from Linfield’s Windsor Park, is needed to improve the situation in the future.

 

“Northern Ireland, as long as it continues with that anthem, will not have an identity of its own and players will continue to turn to the Republic,” he is quoted as saying.

 

The IFA declined to comment when contacted today by TheScore while a spokesman for the Amalgamation of Official Northern Ireland Supporters’ Clubs says that the fans’ group have decided not to comment also.

 

Don't see how it would genuinely make that much difference myself, although I have no knowledge on the situation.

 

Was just amused at SSN running a story on it just now, and mentioning something to do with Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol has been asked to pen something? :lol: Just seems a bit of a random choice.
