At Everton we have a nice little tume which starts:

Well, the staying-up strategy didn't work. 
But at least I've made it for the second half!

Yes indeed all round
A very enjoyable match that should boost Irish confidence for the next couple of games, and with a bit of luck they should get through to the next phase.
Right I'm now off to do the stuff I need to do today and I'll be back for the Germany game.

Are ITV running about three seconds behind the radio commentary?
ITV did this at Euro 2000 and I'm convinced that it was done to ruin the BBC commentary / ITV picture mix.

Yes, the word 'unconvincing' springs readily to mind. But I've got my first point too - I predicted 0-0!
