Hi folks.
Let me first of all congratulate Scotland on reaching the play-off final against Serbia. I genuinely hope they progress, as I always do with the home nations. My own country, Northern Ireland also reached the play-off final with a shoot out win away in Bosnia. But here's the thing... I guess you probably haven't seen the match and the incident maybe didn't even make the highlights, but I have never seen the likes in 50 years watching the beautiful game...
Bosnia won a free kick 30 yards out, and Northern Ireland put 4 men in the wall. No funny business there you say. However, Paddy McNair ran over and lay down fully on the ground on his side with his back resting against the back of the "wall". I thought he'd taken a heart attack and wondered why his team mates were not screaming for medical attention until the camera zoomed in and Paddy is on his side, facing his own goal with a huge cheesy grin on his bake.
Of course it dawned on me, when the "wall" jumped, as the kick was taken, that Paddy was protecting a daisy-cutter from creeping under the wall. Just when I thought I'd seen everything. UTJ
