I think the beer may of taken over...
Northern Ireland 3-2 Spain!
Though I'm sure he won't, this result could possibly eclipse the 1-0 victory over England Gazza is so very proud of!

A beer or 2 might be in order!! |

It was. What a fuckin' night! Behind twice and we end up beating one of the best sides in the world, with Healy getting all 3 of them.
No one left for about half an hour afterwards. An appropriate result on a night our supporters were officially honoured by UEFA as being the best fans in Europe.
But theyre the most frustrating national team in the world. We can beat England and Spain, but get hammered at home by Iceland, a side we fully expected to beat.
Got the great Raul's autograph afterwards too. Nice guy and a great sportsman.

It was am unbelievable result! I only saw the brief highlights on Match Of The Day, but even I was jumping off my seat in support!
It was a good result for us too. Not a wonderful performance, but the points are what count. Scotland are doing great and wouldn’t it be an absolute JOY if we all made the finals in 2008!

it'd be a fuckin miracle, but it would be quite excellent - yes.
I think losing at home to Iceland is a killer for us, unfortunately. We're the best team in the world at being underdogs and the most hopeless when we're favourites.
We're something like the 4th seed in that group (or is it 5th), so anything above that is pretty good. I think its a bit much to expect us to finish in the top two in a group that includes Spain, Sweden and Denmark.
If we were in the group that England have however, I'd honestly fancy our chances to qualify |

Absolutely brilliant !
Healy for England!
Wonder why he doesn't do that for us?! (Leeds Utd.)
Probrably as Blackwell plays him on the right and he doesn't get he same service. I can't decide which goal was best his 2nd or his 3rd?!
He'll be leaving Leeds now anyway after that display but at least it'll have put £500,000 or so on his price tag - don't get me wrong we'd love to keep him but surely he'll be looking for better now...
Well done you Northern Irish bastard, I'd love it if you qualified but get some consistancy boys! Well done.
