If the players had performed there’d be every point to this game simple….we’ve played plenty of meaningless games over the years it’ll be a chance to see what the likes of the Colwills and others can do.

We would have been playing Italy in a final, your point doesn’t make sense? And if we had qualified top of our group of course a friendly would have been needed, in preparation for the World Cup.

In fact I think this post is really nonsensical.

Do you not realise if the players had performed they would be playing Italy in the final and not Northern Ireland in a meaningless friendly that no player will really wish to play or fan gives a flying fiddle about?

Honestly….i’m well aware that if we’d performed ( Won ) then it would be Italy not NI…and I didn’t want to go to work for 45 years but had to …it was my job, probably only difference is if I hadn’t performed I would have been sacked, forgive me if I have little sympathy for the players having to turn out for a “meaningless “ game.

Your original post was one big contradiction. If you can’t see how this match is so unbelievably pointless, then that’s your prerogative.
