He started very slowly, and only really got going in the last 20 minutes or so. First published on Fri 4 Sep 2020 13.30 EDT. 9 min: Whittaker sliderules a pass down the right wing for Ritchie, who looks to break into the box by nudging the ball past Evans. Northern Ireland could easily hit them with a rope-a-dope sucker punch. Ritchie really hasn’t done much on his debut. Israel have equalised this time! Fermanagh GAA suspends all inter-county and club activity until further notice due to a rise in Covid-19 cases. Please join us tomorrow for more of the same, including Iceland v England. McGovern does just enough to tip it away. 62 min: Scotland make another couple of changes themselves. A pair of victories, please, and the Euro finals will be one step closer. 4 min: Forsyth flicks a lovely pass down the left wing to release Anya into the box. Unnecessary loud music! Scotland make three changes: McGregor replaces Gordon in goal, Berra steps in for Martin at the back, and Naismith comes in for Maloney. 33 min: Grigg tries to take down a long ball along the right wing, but succeeds only in kicking it up and into his startled coupon. “What about just showing the ref?” writes Alys Barber-Rogers, who has just blown my mind. What a smash and grab a Northern Ireland win would be! 83 min: A free kick for Northern Ireland, out on the right. But no. Grigg clears. Ritchie sends a decent corner onto Berra’s head, ten yards out. The 94th match, in 2011, was also won by Scotland, 3-0 over Northern Ireland, Kenny Miller, James McArthur and Kris Commons doing the business in the Carling Nations Trophy at the Aviva in Dublin. Wed 25 Mar 2015 17.39 EDT Northern Ireland are beginning to string a few passes together, and apply a little pressure to the Scottish defence. In the centre circle, Baird hectically batters what should be a simple pass at McNair, and the confusion allows Steven Fletcher to scamper off with the ball. Anya is currently on a one-man mission to rouse the home support. But McNair’s ball through the Scottish back line is a dreadful clump, and it flies out of play for a goal kick. There was power and irritation in that. “After the Burley and Levein era, Scotland as an international Arsenal (19 min) with Strachan as Wenger will do for me,” writes Simon McMahon. The period of pressure finally ends when a long ball’s pumped down the middle by the Irish, and McKay heads weakly over. “With the invisible players and ball, would we just have the ripple of the nets to indicate a goal? 6 min: But there’s another one along in a minute. 7 min: A high ball hoicked into the Irish box. The visitors eventually clear, but only after Steven Fletcher nearly guided a header into the top-left corner from eight yards. 50 min: Forsyth scampers after a ball down the left. Not quite as romantic, maybe, but the Scots haven’t qualified for a major tournament since 1998, the Irish haven’t made one since 1986, and both are going well in their respective groups. It’s been all Scotland, but Northern Ireland have been staunch in defence. Easy to laugh, of course, but that was a clever run by Grigg, who would have had a tattered Scottish defence in all sorts of bother if he’d managed to control a difficult pass. They went behind to a dodgy goal and lost Josh Magennis to an even dodgier red card, all before half-time, but Bailey Peacock-Farrell kept them in the game and the substitute Gavin Whyte pilfered a late equaliser. It flies apologetically to Gordon in the Scotland goal. “Here’s football with an invisible ball. “Only I guess you could (sadly) usually work that out in the case of Scotland.”. Tonight’s game just might not reach the blood and thunder levels of the old Home Internationals, is all. Scotland’s players are getting a feel of the ball. I won’t insult your intelligence by telling you who scored the goal.
