I have no idea who Michael O'Neill is or where he has come from, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him manage a Championship/Lower PL team when he's done with NI. With the right players he'd frustrate the hell out of a lot of better equipt teams.


As mentioned, not particularly pretty but it's effective.

He done a great job with Shamrock Rovers in Ireland too. Even managed to get them to the group stages of Europa League which might be a bigger achievement than getting Northern Ireland this far.

Was he the manager when we played them? That's pretty awesome.

It's a bit like watching a Pullis West Brom v Pardew C Palace game. A team full of incredibly well organised shit kickers v a team with a couple of more talented individuals but a manager who's teams suffer from identity crisis when faced with opponents who also have no desire to dominate possession.

Either way, they're both better than Scotland lol.
