Really, you lot need educating about the beautiful game, you really do.
although we did'ne qualify this time, we've had our fair share of triumphs. 1982 in particular when we beat the mighty Spain and eventually got to the quarter finals:

We've even beaten England on the odd occasion:

and Norn Iron did produce one of the best footballers (not saccer players) of all time:

| Quote | Former football star George Best has died in hospital at the age of 59 after suffering multiple organ failure.
Best, who was admitted eight weeks ago with flu-like symptoms, died at 1255 GMT. London's Cromwell Hospital said it ended "a long and very valiant fight".
Son Calum, 24, who had kept a bedside vigil, said: "Not only have I lost my Dad... we've all lost a wonderful man."
The ex-Manchester United and Northern Ireland star is to be buried in Belfast beside his mother, Ann, late next week.
Best's father Dickie, 87, who was among relatives at his bedside overnight, asked for the family to be left to grieve in peace. |
He died far too young:
