An away midweek game in Norway after mcfudden’s hand ball red card conceding a pen had cost us in the home game a year before. A must win game to keep us in with trying to get a play off for the WC. I watched this one in the house with a can of beer or 2 which was not bad for a Wednesday night. This was one of the best 1st halves I’ve seen against decent opposition away from home. Kenny miller who had been slated earlier in the year, was on fire! He grabbed the 1st goal of the game with a good finish. It didn’t take long till he was on the score sheet again.. YESSSSSSSSSS was the cry from the couch. 2 up and cruising! Miller would have got a hat trick most likely but he had to go off injured before the half was out. Still, a good position to be in for the rest of the game. Held on and could have made it 3 before Norway got one back in the last few mins.. Squeaky bum time but the final whistle went. Yessss. Blah blah brief bit of highlights then BBC Scotland jumped straight to BBC England to show us N Ireland v England which had already played about 20 mins. Motty “we welcome viewers from Scotland to the game…you can put your bagpipes away now” I kept my bagpipes..haggis..shortbread.. and kilt out just to despite him! Glad I did as the whole thing went flying in the air again as N Ireland (Healy) smashed home a later winner and N Ireland won 1-0. YUSSSSEASSSSSSSS!!!! A delightful Wednesday afternoon was had by all. Now… onto to an easy home match v Belarus in October
