What a rarity - an enjoyable TV game!

A superb display of character and determination from the home
side, very well refereed by Jana Adámková. For once my interest
was maintained throughout. Congratulations to Northern Ireland's
women on their qualification for the Euros next year!

I wholeheartedly agree. A smashing team performance from the
Northern Irish ladies who worked their socks of to get the
result.
I thought that the officials were excellent and kept control of
the match very well.
There was quite a difference in the two goalkeepers with the
Ukraine keeper always looking a bit suspect, however, the Irish
keeper's handling was top class and she commanded her area very
well.
Well done and good luck when they play in the tournament.

A terrific performance to consolidate their achievement in the
first leg. Commitment, skill, organisation and an absence of
histrionics and moaning. I particularly enjoyed the
demonstration of how to celebrate while standing on crutches!
Let's hope they do well against the 'big' teams at the finals.

Having said that I enjoyed the game, I forgot to mention the
crazy incident at the end which I thought was really bizarre
with Ukraine's Pantsulaya bing sent off for wiping out McFadden
when she had absolutely no need to do what she did. I can only
surmise that it was a wanton act borne out of frustration,
however, that sort of incident has no place in the game ----even
in the old days it would have been regarded as cynical to the
extreme.
