"We came to spoil the party and nearly did it. Greece were beginning to panic before the penalty. I fancied Spain to win the group but they made some mistakes. Greece deserved [to qualify] because they went to Spain and did the business." Read it in UEFA.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irlandos Posted October 12, 2003 Author Share Posted October 12, 2003 Jackie Fullerton, a well-known sportscaster here, interviewed Sammy McIlroy along with Maik Taylor his keeper for NI TV. When JF mentioned to Taylor that the replays indicated a clear penalty, Sammy Mac could barely disguise his frustration! Maybe it's time for this cult of excuses to end? 13 goal-less games need some seeing-into! :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
